Yay! I get to go first!!!

for your avatar - food for the winter!

I'm sure my giraffe appreciates it. However, I don't think I will show my husband because he'll be coveting it for the horses!!!! (We're already having "hay" discussions at home.

)

Thanks Santa!!!

Well, I'm running late on presents, after PROMISING myself I'd get them out early this year. So, today's present is Nuthin' Special, but at least you'll have a chance to deal with those nasty squirrels vicariously.

The link doesn't seem to be Safari compatible. I can't wait to get home and watch it.

Somebody wants to relieve my stress!

Since it seems you've been visited by the Cooking Jinx, here's a week's worth of catering for you. Enjoy!

Ooh, someone knows how homesick I am for mountains!

And that I love Hannah Szenes:

Quote:

Eli, Eli -- Hanah Szenes

O Lord, My G-d,
I pray that these things never end.
The sand and the sea,
The rush of the Water,
The crash of the heavens,
The prayer of woman and man

Wow! What a beautiful gift. Thank you, Secret Santa!

Ooh, a night out on the town!

Quote:

Day One

Let's start the holiday celebration out right--with tickets for you and the wife to the Boston Opera House where the Boston Ballet will be performing The Nutcracker with hundreds of children and a full, live orchestra.

Oh, but we don't want the two of you to have to worry about parking or trekking through the snow from the parking lot to the door, so Santa is throwing in limo service from your door to the Opera House and back.

Will this one be cozy enough?

It'll do.

Thanks, Secret Santa!

Haiku for Well-being

Rising before dawn
Workout without travelling
Good sleep is precious

Thanks, Santa, now I can work out anytime or even twice a day! I think I'll really be needing by the month's end.

Cool Prezzies!

Leslie:
I know how much you like to cook, so I stopped in at Williams-Sonoma over the weekend to find you a gift for today. W-S is one of my favorite stores and I went crazy in there, like I always do.

An apron to keep your duds clean while you cook.

Some wonderful stainless steel tools.

And isn't this stainless steel pan set sweet?!

Have a wonderful Monday, and enjoy your new toys!

Here's mine:

Today, SantaWorm brings you two gifts.

First:

The diary of the first novelist ever, who also just happens to be a woman, is appropriate for one of the most literate women I know.

And next:

Something beautiful to gaze at when Calgon just isn't working!

Thanks, secret santa! You know me well!

Cool toys! Cool toys!

**Joubert**[$] · #12 12-12-2005, 06:53 PM

I get to rock out courtesy of Santa. At least, I think that's what Santa meant or Mrs. Joubert, Frally Folds and Lance Armstrong are all gonna be ticked off.

Quote:

FOR JOUBERT, ON MONDAY:

On the first day of christmahanukwanzaakaaaaaaaaaa<WBR>aaa my Secret Santa
gave to meeeee....

A virtual night out with Ben Folds and Sheryl Croooooooooow

Enjoy!!!

note: due to some technical difficulties - there are not the exact photos that your Secret Santa selected for you. SantaWorm had to substitute the images.

Santa knows that Eris' home and heart will always be at EA, but making new friends is important during this holiday time. That is why Santa found Eris a new place to get "ideas".

Welcome, Eris, to http://www.amcgltd.com/

What might you ask is that? It is the blog "...where cats, science fiction and anger come together". Santa thinks their stuff is hilarious and that they could use a new reader.

Thank you Santa!

Here's my Monday gift:

Dear Pippa,
Sorry Monday's present is late. The mall was so crowded! I decided to start with a red dress for the holidays:

Hmm... it's from Hanna...

Redlass · #15 12-14-2005, 12:04 PM

Santa knows me well!

Quote:

Berries are red
Wreaths are green
Today I'm gifting you with
More yarn than you've ever seen!

I'm betting this is just the representation picture.

I won't tell Redlord.

Thank you, Santa!

frazzledspice · #16 12-14-2005, 01:10 PM

I got a goody basket!

Quote:

Frazz,

With 2 older boys and a teenaged girl, you can never have enough snacks around. (We'll pretend your son is home for Christmas!) And since money is no object, I thought you might like this goody basket:

Overflowing with our own handmade Belgian Chocolates & Truffles, our freshly baked Biscotti, decadent handmade Belgian Chocolate Caramel The Perfect Apple apples, assorted gourmet crackers, cheeses, cheese spreads, sausages, smoked salmon, salmon pate, caviar, gourmet mustards, cheese straws, scrumptious cookies, a large selection of our own chocolate drenched kettle corn, chips, pretzels, freshly roasted A Bountiful Harvest blend coffee, imported teas, mochas & cocoas, candies, fruit preserves, deluxe nuts, dried fruits and snack mixes, pasta, flavored Belgian chocolate spoons, non-alcoholic sparkling champagne or juice and more!

My family likes quite a few of the items in this basket! The Belgian chocoloates, assorted cocoas and mochas, cheese straws, and cheeses!

Thanks, Santa!

Ops sorry only today an angel has informed to me that I had not seen this thread

Quote:

Learning English can be hell
So from folks who teach ESL
The best advice is to endure
The finest examples of pop culture.
First of course, you should enjoy
The favorite reading of young boys.

And in case you need a break from reading
Funny shows you will be needing
From the secret giftie fairy
Comes a show with great vocabulary:

Thanks SantWorm, therefore I will not be able more to say of the mistaken things...
for the game of next year

mtbat · #18 12-17-2005, 10:11 PM

Okay, I've been trying to figure out where all these threads are-all week.

I never thought to look in this forum-so here is my gift for monday
Fridai,

Although you had some stitches emerge after 14 years, I think these stitches might be a more decorative addition to your home:

Love,

Your Secret Santa

**Penguinlady**[$] · #19 12-18-2005, 02:17 AM

Oh man - this is so embarrasing. I've had pneumonia and completely forgot that we're supposed to post our loot, so I'm running about a week late, AND I don't know how to copy and paste the entire message from my PM inbox to here.

I got some fabulous-looking artichoke recipes that I can't wait to try, and a box of chocolate penguins from Burdick's. (Actually, I really did get those same goodies for my last birthday, so I know how good they really are!)

Thanks, Santy!
