Secret Santa 2015!

[Sigmund]

I see your hips and muffin top
And raise you a pair of generously luscious thighs...

Okay, that didn't go quite how I first imagined it!

I got strangely titillated.

(Santa just switched my name to the OTHER list. Ha!)

...no, but now I have the strangest appetite......

 

[Neesy]

Merry Christmas Eve eve!

Magnificent! You are all excellent stalkers, erm...investigators and gift givers. Yay!

Someone do me a solid and double check me, please. We have two more Secret Santas to go, correct? And the board closes tonight at midnight, is that also correct?

Okay. I'll be in and out. Stay cool.

I did my stalking investigatin' this morning - got so caught up in it I was a few minutes late arriving at work!

Thanks for the reminder Siggy - it is always appreciated!

Part 5 and final LeppLady's gift from mal.

My first thought when signing up for Secret Santa was "How cool!". I get to use my
earnest profiling skills to 'stalk' a member of the SKMB and try to
research all past posts to come up with a list of interests and create a really,
really good 'bit' package which will delight and entertain my board buddy. All of
you regular inhabitants and frequent passers by certainly make this a positive task!

Coming to the board for the first time I was very nervous and wondered
how or what I could contribute. I loves me my Stephen King books and the underlying
reality of conversing with other fans on the web site made me a bit nervous and instilled
in me some anxiety. Over time I found the people on this site to be regular friendly folks
shining brightly in their friendliness, care, goofiness and knowledge. I remember
thinking, after a few months on the board, how much I enjoyed the experience. I hope
my own contributions have also mixed in with the board soup to make it even tastier. When
a book (or books) cause a common chord to be struck amongst the ever constant readers,
situations occur which can bring others together (and there is not enough of that).

'Likes' were a new experience for me as I never hopped on the 'social media' bandwagon,
even though I followed it in the news. When logging on to SKMB I was always excited to
peek at the 'Alerts' tab and see the number of likes I received. A few weeks into my
posting journey I realized I was never clicking that button myself. I do now.
Lately I've realized that this is quite a valid form of human communication. I
always thought that, if there is no physical connection, there is no way to
determine what is real and you must take everything at face value. That's why,
year after year, sarcasm always gets misunderstood in it's written form.

Mister Smiley Face Winking icon has done a lot to improve on this. I start to
always ramble so that means this introduction to your 'bit' gift is about to
lose it's steam. Merry Christmas Lepp Lady, Mal

You are very good mal !

That was great, mal

My giftee this year is Tery

Will start off with this:

Spoiler

Your fave group made the cover of the Rolling Stone in 2015!

Spoiler

This is to hang by the fire and wait for Santa to stuff your stocking Christmas Eve!

Spoiler

One of your favourite cartoon characters dressed up for Xmas

[please to excuse funny Canadian spelling] eh?

Spoiler

Alex Lifeson signature Gibson 355 to add to your guitar collection

Something to snack on while watching your guilty pleasure movie:

Spoiler

Rollercoaster? (I was not sure if it was the 1999 version or the 1977 version)

Spoiler

I could not get Mr. King to sign your Shawshank poster (the one already signed by Darabont, Robbins and Freeman) so here is a scene from the movie - and I HOPE that someday you get your wish and he helps you out with your dream!

I heard a rumour (a little bird told me) you are a "white knuckle flier" so here is something to take before your next vacation:

Spoiler

That stuff works for me - just take half a tablet, though or you will fall asleep!


I also understand you like a certain group (perhaps your second favourite group after Rush?)

Here is an old album I used to have "back in the day" - yeah - I am purty old too, sister!

Spoiler

I almost wore this one out from listening to it so much in the 70s!


If you start to feel a bit better and are feeling up to it, here is a wee bird perhaps you could babysit some time:

Spoiler

I have always wanted one, and I am willing to help out on the days you are not up to it (We can share custody of our virtual bird)

I love jewelry and you design jewelry (or so I have heard) so here is a unique piece I wanted to share with you:

Spoiler

No idea who actually made this, but it made me smile, and hopefully you will enjoy looking at it, too!

and last but not least - this coming year of 2016 will be the Year of the Monkey, so here is somebody I have seen on this board before, here to wish you a wonderful Holiday Season and all the best for the coming year:

Spoiler

He may not actually be a monkey (perhaps another type of ape) but he does make me smile!


Thank you for being one of our moderators and I will see you in the Games threads!

 

[Tery]

For some reason, the MB won't let me post all I wanted to. I forgot a couple of gifts for Grandpa

Spoiler

And, for dinner...

Spoiler

And that beach is a lot warmer than Alaska!

 

[Tery]

Oh, Neesy!!!

I'm so touched! Getting all verklempt. What a wonderful Secret Santa you are!! I love it all

We can share custody of the wee birdie, of course. Just can't bring him into the Cantina thread when Buckwheat and Pyro are in the house!

Wishing you the most wonderful holiday season, Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year!!

 

[Neesy]

Thank you so much! I'm very touched by all of this and wish you the same.

I don't usually participate in the Secret Santa because I'm afraid I'll get caught up in the daily office grind and forget to send out the "gifts" to the one I'd have drawn.

Spoiler: Merry Christmas Marsha! ♥

All the best in the coming New Year ! thanks for keeping us in line here at the SKMB

 

[Tery]

I think I can give Marsha this gift from all of us...

Spoiler

We love you like crazy, Lady!!

 

[Neesy]

Oh, Neesy!!!

I'm so touched! Getting all verklempt. What a wonderful Secret Santa you are!! I love it all

We can share custody of the wee birdie, of course. Just can't bring him into the Cantina thread when Buckwheat and Pyro are in the house!

Wishing you the most wonderful holiday season, Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year!!

I wish I could travel back in time to my high school (Sutton District High School). We could attend the school dance where Rush actually played!

Who knew back then they would become such big stars -

Spoiler

YOU obviously

I will miss the board while it is closed but look forward to seeing everyone again after the holidays - have a good rest

Spoiler

I am glad you were able to come back as a mod!

Sigmund you are to wonderful. Thank you, for everything, especially for being you and for being my friend. I hope there's an extra room in the hotel....for you.

And here, with my new studio, I made this for you.

Spoiler

And since you didn't specify the seats, I've decided mine are right beside this guy.

Spoiler

And

Tery can join me at a few games too.

For Annamarie - no spoilers, and no pictures. Just a sincere apology for being the Grinch, and wishes that you have a beautiful Christmas. You are a beautiful light here on the board, and may all of your Christmas wishes and dreams for the new year come true.

Thank you to all who stepped up in my place. God bless you all.

SusanNorton you are not the Grinch at all!

I am sorry I couldn't get back in and pass on a message, but Susan had let me know that her internet wasn't working on her computer and like me, she isn't able to post photos from her phone. I've just gotten back online now, sorry for any mess ups... mea cupla!

Merry Christmas everyone!

 

[AnnaMarie]

I agree. Not a Grinch at all.

I hope your Internet gets fixed up soon, but glad nobody is sick.
