Isn't more like blinging the Secret Santa Thread?Well played! Now, we must stop sullying the Secret Santa thread!
I sure got lucky! Thank you, luv! The gift of your friendship blows me away daily, and your gift choices are spot on! I got the Pope, Robbin & Nathan, and Marlon Brando. And the wine - all a girl needs! Wishing you, Tracy, and your family only the best for Christmas and forever!....I got my gal Holly!.....so, yeah-ahem and all that.....here I goes....
[\spoiler]
Just one question - because I have a feeling the Ogre told you I'm not allowed to have it - where are my ramekins & blow torch? I've only been asking Santa for about 5 years. Me wielding a blow torch must be frightening.
As for the person I got - I'm still shopping. Hang in there. It's been a ghastly couple of days. I'll find my bearings soon. I'm known for pulling it off at the last minute.
Is that Marsha's present??
KIDDING!! You're missed when you aren't here.
My giftee is Haunted:
Here we go:
It's a special one unlimited so you can get all the books you want
Some money for all your other needs
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep" I found that quote on your profile. I hope that it's from the poem above.
Just for you a cozy nook to read.
I wish you and your family a wonderful christmas!

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

BY ROBERT FROST
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Dear, dear Niro: I cannot tell you how you have touched my heart with these wonderful gifts. The poem is indeed where the quote comes from. Back story: Years past, I would visit my father in the nursing home every afternoon after work. Before I would leave him to go home to cook dinner for the family, I would say those lines: "The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep." Your gift brought back those memories of when he was still with us. The Barnes and Nobel card always brings a smile and some extra cash mean more books! You included a beautiful Midnight Mass; as mass is the start of the Christmas celebration for me and mine, this bright memory is very special. And my own nook with everything I need by the window is a definite WOW!
You have been wonderfully thoughtful and I wish you and yours a Blessed and Merriest of Christmases!
Why does this image keep popping into my head as of late?Can we get this signed in blood? And notarized?

Well, you can pick up her dry cleaning.

Not a Christmas dish (and we dont want people to throw up just by the smell) The loonies who eat it mostly do it in summer. I tried once, in my foolish youth, never again!
