Oooh!
The church I grew up in had a cookie swap. Best. Thing. Evah.
On the day we decorated the church (The Greening of Christmas -- could NOT be more fun) you bring two or three dozen of your best cookie and they get sorted into mixed platters that you then take home at the end of the day.
I should throw a cookie swap! Make New Yorkers bake!
Oh, oh, oh - I just realized I should have DH take Fernet this year and confuse the heck out of everyone else.
Hummm, pretty bottle. Smells like ass. Tastes like....something...not quite ass. But, damn, good stuff.
One of my friends did a cookie swap with her others of her friends every year. It was alot of fun. (More difficult now because they are all over the country.)
My RWA chapter does a version of White Elephant where you don't open the gifts until the very end, and the competition is over the wrapping (variously artistic, whimsical, sexy, and outright raunchy) and your speculation about the contents of the package. It's great fun, and I need to get to work on my themed wrapping for the year. I think I'm going back to hot actors in Regency attire this time around.
I was expecting an email or call today and have been checking both since noon - NOTHING YET. HATE WAITING!
I'm waiting for it to be 5 so I can leave and probably miss the UPS truck anyway.
I ought to make dinosaur boogers this weekend..
and what, praytell, are dinosaur boogers?
figured out my dad's xmas present. Horatio Hornblower dvd.
Shoe-goo or something similar smeared into boogerish shapes. Xmas or birthday present for the kids. I need to remember to get more foil along with the glue.
Awww. Evil Knievel died. [link]
I have to attend the first company christmas party tomorrow night. really don't want to go. for the fourth year in a row, the theme is "gambling night", which was fun the first time and now is boring. i just hope i end up with a GOOD gift this year and not one of the "gag" gifts. meh. at least i'll have my sister to use as a buffer and i won't have to actually socialize with people i don't like(which is most everyone who is going).
we do a White Elephant-like thing too right before we leave for christmas break. except we call it Dirty Santa. there's a $20 limit and i never know what to bring. i usually play it safe and get a gift certificate for somewhere. the guys, inevitably, bring tools of some sort. the boss' gifts are usually the worst. that i had to learn first hand my first or second year here.
