Do you all remember the rules? You have until December 12th to sign up with me.

In order to give and get virtual gifts, PM me.
DO NOT JUST POST SAYING "I'M IN" I may miss the post.


Here is how we play. 
I will put all the participants' names in a hat and pick Santas for everyone.
I will send you a PM letting you know who you are giving the gift to.
On the chose day, you should begin posting your gifts. 
How?  Here's how!

You go online and find images, MP3's or any thing that you think your person might like.
Then you post them on a thread that I'll put up later.  don't put the target's name...let them guess! 

If you played last year, you'll remember that it worked out pretty well. (I did no office work last December for organizing the online game  ;D)

Questions? Post them here or send me a PM.

I'm looking forward to it!  I hope people that played last year will join again, and help the new participants.
thanks!

I don't remember which Stephen King book you are referring to, but I know John Grisham wrote one called "Skipping Christmas", I *think* it was made into a movie called Christmas with the Kranks starring Jamie Lee Curtis.

You are right about the movie part.

so why don't we begin next Friday?  That's the 14th.
I will be out for the most of that day, so when I will be back online the to-ing and fro-ing would have alreday started.

This year, why don't we have a separate thread for the "gifts" unlike last year. And I hope that we get to guess who the gifts are for. I thought that was the best part of doing this.

So I hope everyone remembers:  you post several items for your gift-ee.  don't list who it's for.  Let them guess.  that's the fun part.
several people here have played before and can help you.

have fun! PMs tomorrow!

I am assuming they are for me. And I can think of any better. Thank you (and karma).


I will be posting mine shortly.

For this person-

http://static.flickr.com/248/456424551_785c9d15b4_m.jpg

Tickets to the United States, good for the next decade.

http://sp1.mm-a8.yimg.com/image/4025302259

Lessons for the Lambada.....

http://sp1.mm-a11.yimg.com/image/236131340

And a Presidential Pardon, to protect any punishment for learning said dance...

Everyone knows one must have music to dance to, and in honor of this person's liking '80s rock:

http://sp1.mm-a4.yimg.com/image/2950910834http://sp1.mm-a4.yimg.com/image/2951370818http://sp1.mm-a4.yimg.com/image/2952035304http://sp1.mm-a8.yimg.com/image/4203254365

As well as some music for teaching to:

http://sp1.mm-a6.yimg.com/image/3472773649http://sp1.mm-a5.yimg.com/image/3177071738http://sp1.mm-a1.yimg.com/image/2057322526http://sp1.mm-a1.yimg.com/image/2134165468

And finally, for those mornings where they don't feel so glamourous:

http://sp1.mm-a4.yimg.com/image/2864977145
I understand it is pre-programmed with hundreds of complimentary phrases, to promote a positive self-image.

Merry Christmas = Joyeux Noel, Feliz Natal, Buon Natale, Feliz Navidad, God Jul....and like that.


I think these are for me! Obrigada,Hawk :)

Just a side note...Lambada sucks imo,but those tickets i could definitely use 8)

I am assuming they are for me. And I can think of any better. Thank you (and karma).

They are indeed.  I'm glad you liked them.  I was gonna tell you.  If you ever find yourself in Columbus, Ohio, be sure to check out the topiary garden http://www.topiarygarden.org/.  It is based on the Seurat painting.

That one floored me-why that painting? I do like it but I don't recall ever saying anything about that painting one way or the other.


Cat

Ok, here it is for my "giftee".

We first start out with this for some peace and tranquility:

http://img2.timeinc.net/toh/i/g/tk/modern-architecture-01.jpg

Complete with a pool and a garden in the back yard and a nice view of Manhattan (a hint as who this will go to).

And for another occupant of the house (who we can't forget about), we include a playroom for entertaining:

http://starbulletin.com/2006/12/03/business/art1b.jpg

If anything should go wrong, you have your own personal handyman:

http://bp1.blogger.com/_I8q00amWBK8/Rud1PFJ8HCI/AAAAAAAAEmE/qOX4A1hHZw8/s400/handyman05.jpg

After you are settled in your new home, you can have a night on the town with 50 of your closest friends at the Cafe Deville/Bar Bleu

http://www.sheckys.com/newyorkcity/imagefiles/New%20York%20Bar%20Guide/BarBleu@CafeDeville/BarBleu_2.jpg

and if you are a bit daring, you can enjoy another night out at Duvet.

I hope you enjoy your gifts.

Apologies for the bad dancing....
I had to thumb through your "Ask Me" thread, and at the time, you had mentioned something about Lambada, on a more positive note.

I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW!!! ^^

lol yeah that is the trouble with looking at old threads.  You posted a long long time ago in an art appreciation thread that you liked the painting.  lol  Of course your tastes may have changed and all, but when you go back to search for things to get for virtual gifts, sometimes it's hard narrowing things down.  ;D
