As Slim Pickens said in "Dr. Strangelove:" "Shoot, someone could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

Thank you! Thank you! I ate the Mallo cups already.

Wow, Catherine! Great stuff....and I remember Beth saying she would make sure your person would not require a signature! She's so funny.

Well, I thought I'd get mine mailed this week. But when I went shopping today (there are 1 or 2 more things I want to get), the stores near work don't have what I want. I saw them in a few stores near home, and I won't have a chance to go shopping until Saturday, so I'm mailing it Monday.

I'm trying to decide whether to make hot cocoa and drown a snowman Peep in it.

 

[TinksPixieDust]

WOW! What a great stocking you got!!! Looking forward to getting mine.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

To my exchange persom- I don't wrap.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

Nice stockings so far!

 

[TDC Nala]

Oh! And down in the bottom of the box I just found a red Santa hat that says "Jingle This" on it! I will just have to get up the nerve to wear it to the Adventurers Club.

Wow, that was fast! I didn't think you'd get it so quickly. I'm glad it all arrived safely and that DH didn't forget to put anything in the box since I had him go to the post office and box everything up for me and mail it.

You are very welcome and I hope you enjoy it all. I had so much fun shopping! And like I said in that note, that ornament just seemed perfect for you.

Although....come to think of it, I am not sure if you like cheese.....? But I knew you liked wine and chocolate so either way, two out of three ain't bad. LOL

As soon as you posted on the thread about needing a hat like that because last time at the AC they made you wear reindeer antlers, I just knew I had to send it to you!!

It's still brand new as you can see, and since I have my Naughty Santa hat that I traditionally wear every year, I figured you would need that one more than me.

Maybe you can wear it to work. I am sure that will go over well.

BTW, it never occured to me to put the snowmen peeps into the hot cocoa! Good one.

You are not alone. I hate to wrap. Sheer torture if you ask me. lol

 

[JennaTX]

Sounds like everyone is getting some great stuff!!!!!


Mine will probably be mailed out Saturday or Monday. Jonathan is going to help me shop tomorrow at the Disney Store. Hope my person and Jon have the same taste!

I love cheese, I eat it for dinner on weekends. With wine and chocolate of course. I'll save some chocolate for Friday when I can drink some wine with it.

I was going to have some leftover turkey tonight but I am full of chocolate. Maybe I should eat some turkey anyway.

I had mint hot chocolate with a snowman peep in it. I should have taken a photo...tomorrow I'll drown another one.

Well, alrighty then. Perfect three outta three. lol



I say skip the turkey and just eat more chocolate....

My items are not wrapped. And won't be. I hope my person does not mind.

Nah, don't worry about it. Some are wrapping. Some aren't. Either way is fine.


Okay the mail-by date is coming up fast now!! This Monday.

After that we should start seeing some more fun arrivals.

I dont know about the rest of you... But I want to see a pic of that hat.

LOL It's not a naughty Santa hat. It's a Santa hat that literally says the word Naughty on it.

Sorry to confuse, or disappoint!!



I hope the shopping and boxing up of the packages is going well. If anyone has any questions or concerns feel free to PM me.
