Next year, no packages to Twirl until the 23rd of December!

My box is still sitting unopened on my office chair. Periodically I dust it off and shake it gently. The gerils squeak in fear when I shake it gently.  The noise from the wheel is keeping me up at night!  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
kitkatz- i'm going to send you a box.  In the box will be a voice recorder.  When you press play, it will be a recording of my gerbils running in their wheel.  Just for you.  :rofl;

I recieved mine today. It didn't say not to open, so I shook the box to see if I could hear the gerbils. I heard ssome tapping, shook it again, heard some rattling. Oh Boy I thought, I've got a case of dead gerbiles on my hand, what am I gonna do with spoiled cat food. So I opened it up and discovered I got peanuts! Peanuts everywhere. Peanuts strewn there, peanuts strewn over there, peanuts clinging to the cats in places it should not be sticking too! Low and behold, no gerbils, no dog, but wrapped Christmas presents. Cat now in the box, peanuts all over, but I did not open them yet. So out comes the cat, presents go back in, and as much as the peanuts can be gotten back in befor the sweeper sucks them off the other cat and me.
