quoted from Dan's post  "Oh Paris,  I love surprises as much as you do, but why would I be any less surprised right now that I would be on Christmas Eve????"

I am with you on this one Dan...... open it ! open it ! open it..... if my hubby didn't hide all my xmas gifts I would be opening them there and then. He even hides them in the garage  because I search for them :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

When I was small my dad even hid mine in the tumbledrier once!!!! :rofl;

Hehe... that's so mean.  I'm sure it is popcorn... and probably caramel popcorn.  yum.

Coal?  Now that would really upset me.  Coal?

The worst and  best present I ever received was one in the same.  First year of school we drew names and my gift from a strange little girl was a brown bag with 4 marshmellows inside.  Oooh, I was so angry and immediately announed it to my mom when I got home.  When she saw who gave it  to me, she went down the road to my grandparents house where there was a “smokehouse” attached to the house.  It was a place where, before plentiful refrigeration they would hang meat and cure it.  Another room also stored potatoes, onions, nuts, etc.  Mom asked my grandparents for a ham and other food and we took it to this tiny little house,  along with pieces of fruit and a cake mom had made.  Mom knew who the people were.  She made me thank Annie Laurie for the marshmellows.  She and her siblings were jumping up and down and very happy especially over fruit.  That, friends, is what made me love Christmas so much.  Coal will be fine for me as long as everyone has food to eat.  We can always burn the coal and stay warm.

I hate myself when I talk like Polyanna.  Please don’t forget my avitars and that I am, deep down, a true jackass.  It is just that Christmas does this to me.

I like the old smilies to. The ones they replaced look generic to me and harder to see.

Exactly one half of the people have not receiced their gifts.  Let's review some of the rules of the game.

--- You must sign up by PM'ing your info NO LATER THAN October 20th. To be included on the Holiday Exchange list you must send me your snail mail address.

--- Names will be drawn and announced (by PM) on November 2nd.

--- Gifts must be mailed out NO LATER THAN November 23rd, and sooner if you are sending overseas.

So the last day we were supposed to mail the packages was 18 days ago...Hmmm, VERY slow postage I guess.
