Inara ,'Objects In Space'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2005? Don't think we've forgotten about you.
Hurrah! Yesterday I put my Secret Santa gift in the mail and also got a box from Anne W. My DH has confiscated the box, and won't let me have what is inside until the 25th. I was admonished that he'd know if I peeked. ::pout:: Thank-you, Anne! More specific thank-yous to follow after I'm allowed to open them.
Anne's gifts look beautiful from the outside. My poor Secret Santa recipient is not going to get such asthetically pleasing gifts because wrapping paper and I do not get along.
Damn, Fay. Here's hoping this just means you'll be available to take a job that has been waiting for you because it is the perfect Fay job.
Pictures Aurelia! Your description sounds so delightful. Yay!
My soul stealing capabilities are not digital, so it takes a bit more time.
My giftee is going to think I'm lame, but really, I'm lame and cheap. I finally got the package to the UPS store today and there is no way that package is getting to where it's supposed to be by Christmas. Hopefully, it will at least get there before the end of the year! If push comes to shove, call it a Boxing Day gift. Even if it's in a bag. ;)
wrapping paper and I do not get along.
I've been known to wrap presents in a brown paper shopping bag, and then draw a cartoon on it with a Sharpie. There are no ribbons nor bows on presents from Chez Bee. Martha Stewart would be aghast, I'm sure.
I sent my package off today -- the Post Office claims it'll take 2 days, so my feeling is that my santee will get a box o' festive cheer by the weekend. I hope.
Martha Stewart would be aghast, I'm sure.
This is sort of my decorating theme.
Sparky, yay for your gift getting there!
Boo on the confiscation by the DH! Oh, well. There's nothing perishable in there, so the gift will be fine even if you're climbing the walls.
(If you told him I said you could open it now, would he go for it?)

Probably, but if there's nothing perishable there, I figure I might as well let him have the illusion of being the boss of me on this one issue. He has also confiscated the boxes from my mother containing gifts.
This is sort of my decorating theme.
Mine is: "Early American Garage Sale"
I have everything ready for my giftee except a box to mail it in. D'oh!
I didn't even wrap mine. I was so concerned about positioning it in the box so that one part wouldn't get all messed up that it didn't even occur to me. There's some gold tissue, though, that I bought specially. Dur.
So, um, giftee, when you open the box, you're opening the present. Just a heads-up if you happen to be a Wait Until X-Mas person.
