12-11, Day 4 Virtual Gift Exchange

[theworm[$]]

Jeff’s nuts roasting in a flaming soapbox,
Brian hosing down the flames.
JP laughing as he rolls on the floor
Seems to have lost his gall bladder again.

They know that Santa Worm,
Is on her way.
Delivering all the elves gifts
Throughout the day.
And every board member
Who’s in the game
Will be so glad that they decided to play.

Sara making jokes throughout the forums,
TheEye posting all the news,
Lynnzop’s making sure we get exercise
So we don’t get the holiday blues!

For soon the gaming
will be all done
But we’ll have happy memories
Of all the fun.
And if you're still around
A little more
We’ll play the game again in 2004.
!santa

Wormie, you've outdone yourself again. Poor Nat King Cole is rolling over in his grave.

This morning I got some beautiful Christmas ornaments. I like them so much I just set them up as my wallpaper on my PC at work!


And a new quilt for my bed:

Santa said "Something to keep you warm on this frigid winter nights. I hope the colors are ok!!!!"

The colors are perfect, and the Double Wedding Ring pattern is my absolute favorite quilt pattern!!!! And yes, those Iowa nights are getting pretty dang fridgid. I think it was around 10 degrees last night. :brrr:

Now I just have to have Santa talk to my boyfriend. Be sure to use small words and don't be afraid to use pictures if you have to...

Eris - you keep complaining that you don't have any snow, so I'll send you some of mine. I like snow, but I've gotten plenty lately, so I'll share!





When you are done frolicking in the snow, come inside for a hot cup of coffee from this delightful gift basket.

Gevalia Her Spa coffee basket
An assortment to help you relax and renew. Wrap up in the warmth of a luxurious white cotton velour shawl-collar robe embroidered in gold with our Gevalia logo and slip your feet into comfy white cotton terry slippers, whimsically embroidered in gold with "Espresso" and "Cappuccino." A set of six coffee-scented tea light candles fills the air with delicious coffee fragrances. This luscious basket is completed by lemon butter cookies, a 7-oz. bone china pedestal mug, 8 oz. each of Gevalia Breakfast Blend, Espresso Roast and French Vanilla coffees, and 30 bags each of Gevalia Honey Ginseng Mint and Chamomile Dream teas.

...and curl up by the fireplace.


Enjoy your gifts today!!!!!

Hey, how did my Secret Santa know I've got a major case of happy feet?

"...so you can spend the night dancing till the disco ball comes home."

[Redlass]

My Santa is lots of fun! And the Dominator is especially going to enjoy this gift:

A Recipe for you to make-with a little help from your kid

Homemade Silly Putty

2 parts white glue
1 part liquid starch
Mix ingredients and let dry until workable. Add more glue or starch if necessary. May not work on humid days. Store in airtight container.

Or perhaps something Really Gross(but kid safe I swear)

or perhaps a few silly facts

The silly facts are here:

I like these ones:

• The Ramses brand condom is named after the great pharoah Ramses II who fathered more than 160 children.
• In 1976, a Los Angeles secretary formally married her 50-pound pet rock.
• The most unsuccessful animal rescue ever, took place on January 14,1978,when volunteers from the British army, filling in for striking firemen, were called by an elderly lady in South London to get her cat out of a tree. They extricated the cat with no difficulty whatsoever, and then ran over it as they drove back to the Fire Station.
• Laughing lowers levels of stress hormones and strengthens the immune system. Six-year-olds laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day.
• On average, a 4 year old child asks 437 questions a day. (And I add: that doubles when they turn five.)
• Despite the many rat-infested slums in New York City, rats bite only 311 people in an average year. But 1,519 residents are bitten annually by other New Yorkers.

Thank you, Santa!

My SS sent me an adorable ladies Santa Suit - ho ho ho!

I see that you've said
Santa could be a girl
Well here's the outfit -
go give it a whirl!



I think it would work
And you'd look "all that"
if you wore the lucky
green Santa hat

Santa, I don't suppose you can give me the BODY to fit in that thing, can you?

[thinkerlady[$]]

There is no doubt I could use a vacation, and no doubt this would be one of the best I have ever taken. It looks simply beautiful, and peaceful.

I thought I had an idea of who my SS is, but now I am stumped. I don't have a clue!!!!!

[conradd]

First the hunk, then the kitchen, now this:

My Secret Santa said

Your penchant for the cocoa bean
Is something that we all have seen
Those cravings that need satisfying
You really should not be denying

Here is 4 pounds of Godiva
It's okay to drool saliva



And while I'm at it here's ice cream
To maximize your chocolate dream

Whoever my secret santa is, s/he has excellent judgement. I'm just wondering which "cravings" to satisfy first.

[hadassahchana[$]]

I love my gift! Two of my favourite things rolled into one preent - what's not to like?

Here's the poem:

"Most felines I know just meow
Others, unfortunately, do yowl
This cat earns applause
(With much clapping of paws)
I think she should come take a bow!"

And the super gift:




Now I have no clue as to who my Santa is, but I think I'm in love!



Cindy

[theeye]

theworm said

i have heard that you are quite the roomba fan.

well here is a cleaning pro that will out-clean a roomba pro anyday.




Hope you got some chocolate into you.


secret santa / day four

Yes, chocolate -- and hubby and Poopster made French toast for me.

Or is that still Freedom Toast?

[susanwhipple]

OMGoodness. HAve I been complaining too much? Well, I might as well continue... Dear Secet Santa. I love my gifts, but without hints, I'll never guess who you are.

I know how hectic life can get around the holidays, so here's a little joint you'll enjoy for de-stressing.



And here's your room:

[cristina1]

A little holiday treat, probably something you haven't had before:
Idaho Spud Bar and other treats...

"The popular Idaho Spud Bar is a wonder combination of a light cocoa flavored marshmallow center drenched with a dark chocolate coating and then sprinkled with coconut (Sorry, no potato!). The potato shape and unique blend of ingredients appeals to both young and old, making the "Idaho Spud" one of the top hundred selling candy bars in the Northwest, and is Idaho Candy Company's best selling bar. The Idaho Spud Bar has been a favorite since it was first manufactured in 1918."

Have a great day

Now that looks absolutely delicious! Who cares if it is first thing in the morning - I am going to enjoy these now!

Yesterday my Secret Santa sent me to a site to check my sanity I didn't have time to do the whole thing though, but will tonight after work. Thank you, Santa!

[Redlass]

Well, don't keep us in suspense, MJ. Are you or are you not insane?

[theworm[$]]

I don't need a test to know the answer. She most certainly is insane!!!

[taurusmoon]

Mooooooove over Santa. I'm in grocery wonderland.

I found a little dairy store where I thought you might be able to pick up some treats. I heard their fresh cheese and their bakery items are to die for. Heck, you can even get yourself a complete and ready made dinner there! And everything tastes great... or... so I am told.

Here's a gift certificate so you can pick out what you like. Pick up some things for Chip too!

Thanks Santa!

Making her first stop in the coffee bean aisle
