12-18-06 Santa Worm Game - For your Santa

[theworm[$]]

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Wormie's on her way;
She's loaded lots of toys and goodies on her sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
Happy Holidays to you.

Now it's time for you all to place your guesses. You should guess who sent you your gifts and shop for a gift for that person.

Post it yourself right here, and as everyone guesses we'll get to see who is right!
Hope you all had fun!

I had mine narrowed down to three possibilities: Frazz, Sandy, and Fridai.

I think it's Fridai.

So, for your holiday enjoyment:

First, a brand-new tricked out Yukon XL. Perfect for driving around in the Colorado winters, and with room enough for schlepping other people's children you always seem stuck with:



Next, some time off, just for you! No kids, no teachers, no nothing!



And lastly, upon your return, you will be rested, rejuvenated, and ready to use the preferred weapon of the second Evil Trimverate on those difficult teachers you have this year:

Psst... Wormie, if you would be so kind as to repost the list of players, I would really appreciate it.

I've narrowed mine down to a couple as well...but the most likely candidate seems to be Deb.

Deb, for all your travels, a hybrid VUE...because I love mine so much, I wanted to give you a car that will haul a Christmas dinner, gear and more...yet be gentler on your gas budget.


I tried to find a photo of Shane for your that you hadn't posted yourself, but only found this guy:

Did you know Robert Conrad's son is also Shane? (Okay, that's not really a present, but I thought it was sort of interesting!)

I do think you need some time off after filling all those stockings for Operation Santa. I'm sending you on a well-deserved trip to the Bonneville Hot Springs Resort and Spa, which looks absolutely lovely. While you are there, enjoy hiking along the Columbia River Gorge

and viewing Multnomah Falls.


You'll need a new pair of hiking boots, these are cute, but look sturdy under all that cuteness.


And finally, I read on your blog that you'd rather spend time with Marines than anyone else...but I think this Marine is rather special to you. I'm sending you a whole month with him, and anyone else from the USMC that you'd like to hang out with. (GREAT photo, BTW. )


Merry Christmas Deb!!!!!

[emeleel]

I think my SS was Bree. So for you, dear Bree:



What inside? Oh, I don't know...

A pack of candles
Bottle of aspirin
Purple socks
BNL tickets
The "Z" encyclopedia
And a sock monkey


Enjoy!

And thank you for being my Secret Santa this year.

[StrawberryBlond]

oh that's a nice gift, that marine ... adorable

[frazzledspice]

I'm pretty much clueless. I've kind of narrowed it down to 7:

mjfrombuffalo
taurusmoon
emeleel
lynnzop
jgibson2
thinkerlady
prepoia

But I'll mull it over a little bit more.

My guess for my secret santa is JP:

I think my secret santa is JP. So to thank him for the lovely gifts (well, except for Zardoz. Grumble. Just kidding!):

A Tankless Water Heater System - state of the art, no more leaks, hot water on demand:


Tankless Water Heaters by SETS ~ instant, on demand hot water ~Tankless Water Heater Company

A pair of plumbers at your beck and call to install it (one for you, one for M):





A Red Stapler for your desk:


"Excuse me, um, have you s-s-seen my s-s-stapler?"

A lovely new shirt for your wardrobe:



The zeduckie scares me, but I'll buy one for you. You can report back on whether or not it takes over your house:



And last, but not least, gift certificates to Tupperware and the Dollar Store so you can afford your geocaching habit and keep the loot you leave safe and dry while it awaits being found.

Happy holidays!



Leslie / Phoenixx

[StrawberryBlond]

i have no clue who mine is

[hadassahchana[$]]

Mine was hard to figure out, so I have just a guess. I think mine was Judy. In which case, a deluxe holiday in New York would be just the thing for a thank-you present.

First, you need a room. How about one at The Four Seasons?





Next, dinner, but just for two on this trip. Your table's waiting at 21:



Finally, a visit to Rockefeller Center to listen to carols under the Christmas tree:



Merry Christmas!

I'm going to guess my Secret Santa was Lynn. After hearing about you being under the weather, I decided to set up a follow-up appointment for you (house call or doctor's office, your pick):

[MiracleMax]

I have no idea who my SS is, but I'm going to guess Cindy. And for you, a week's worth of new boots:















And a couple matching accessories:





(But in pink, of course)

I just thought this was kind of cute, and matches the theme.





Hope you enjoy!

[hadassahchana[$]]

Yay, you're right! Which means I get to keep all of those boots and the cute bag. Thanks!


Oh, adn I just love how the holster matches the first pair of boots. I am thinking those for everyday...

[jenninca]

From Day 1, I've been thinking that my Secret Santa was frazzledspice. Now we'll see if I was right!

Maryanne, I give you a tour of Broadway, including tickets to:


Beauty and the Beast


Rent


Wicked


The Lion King


Tarzan


and Mary Poppins.

Enjoy, and thanks!

Cindy

[lynnzop[$]]

Sorry, Ailsa, I'd love to take credit but I was not YOUR SS!

Can I still keep McDreamy though? I'm home by myself this afternoon with nothing to do.....

Yup, it was me! Did the bag of crap give it away? I'm glad you liked everything.

[drmomentum[$]]

It's a puzzler, but I am going to guess that "soxfan" is my Secret Santa.


But whether she is or not, I think she will enjoy:



A gyroball from Daisuke Matsuzaki,



Almond gelato

And a visit to Tomb Boston!

I'm hoping there was a big hint in one of my gifts and so I'm saying Leslie. But this gift most anyone would enjoy even if Leslie wasn't my SS.

An unlimted gift card to the Mac store:
