Looking at the screen she had choose to sponsor Cleo instead for JonDuke. Confused as to why a cat would sponsor a dog he settled back into his cup of joy not concerned with such things on a beautiful Christmas morning.( just after feeding the cat so she would leave him in peace ).

Amazing!

Another great year of Secret Santa and another fabulous surprise. All the barkeep stuff is amazing and things that I don't have. But I think the bag might be my favorite! Can't believe we have to wait another year to do this.

Doug Fir has a message for Jayswin

"Santa would like to know if tomorrow or Monday works?”

[jayswin]

Tomorrow would work for sure!

I'm going to do a little horning in on this, even though I didn't participate, because someone on CP helped me and my husband play Santa for our daughter-in-law down in Topeka. She has a favourite restaurant in her hometown, and while they have a gift card/certificate program that could be purchased digitally, and delivered via email, it's particular to their restaurant, as they're not a chain (that I know of) - so it would not accept a Canadian credit card. Bizaro offered to help on the US cc front and paid for it (reimbursed as soon as we were all sure the GC was delivered), filled out the message stuff for us, and she received it this morning. She's absolutely thrilled with it, and planning her supper for tomorrow night after work - they have an entire mac & cheese section on their menu, so fried M&C balls is her first supper using her GC.

It was an amazing & lovely gesture, helping us out like that and we are very grateful for that assistance. He didn't have to help, but he did, and it's the very essence of Christmas spirit. Thanks again, Bizaro. Merry Happy Jingly, as our kids used to say (thanks, Invader Zim! ) - we all hope you're having a grand day and that all good things come your way.

No...I think it was "Now is a good time to lower your expectations."

I might need to print a few gift bags for next year.

Thanks Locke, and Merry Christmas everyone!

Oh. And now I know what 'measurement calipers' are...had to google that one.

It’s a keeper!

I hope everyone had a fantastic and relaxing Christmas! I won the lottery this year and Surferguy had my name. You do make beautiful things, very talented my friend!

The baseball dice game is going to be a blast, we are going to a party at a friend’s place New Year’s Eve and are planning on wearing the name tags and playing the game.

Thank you very much for the gifts and I am already excited for next year and hope to have a few more members.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I realized immediately after I left the post office that I didn’t send a pair of dice along with the baseball game. I feel great shame.

Merry Christmas Lumby.

I have lots of dice, I think Mrs Lumby is more concerned about no rules of gameplay after I explained the game. Her lack of trust in me is becoming concerning.

Much like the 2nd best nametag - if it creates controversy then I’ve done my job.
