Yes, it was!Thanks Misery Chastain for putting together the Secret Santa..It was fun!
Yes, has everyone gotten presents that signed up? I will shop for someone if need be. I don't want anyone forgotten. Although I know sisterwife will come through. But just in case, who hasn't gotten presents?

This is not her! But her name is Charli and I can't wait to get my hands on her. Less than an hour now!
Much love to my SKMB friends! Lifting me up every day! Merry Christmas y'all!
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!

Darling niro!! Last but most certainly not least!
If my memory serves me right, it's very cold where you are
So a girl needs some gorgeous fashionable wintery frocks
For the cold commute
A hunky personal driver and swanky car
Will you come and visit us all?
This is the inside of your personal Lear Jet for a year. Anywhere, anytime!
Cozy!
A cozy little kitchen tea bar!
To decompress after a long, but invigorating day at your new job!
Heavenly little reading nook!
I've never heard of this before, but
How about a listening room? I seem to recall that you love music!
Finally, dear heart
I wish you all the best for all your days. Long days and pleasant nights and a very Merry Christmas, luv!

and he who sings it so well
Thank you for sharing with us, mal. Maybe you will find some treasured as the new used store. May you and yours have a magical and joyous Christmas. Hope Santa Paws brings Brett something special.Hello All! It's been another fulfilling and active year for us all. We are all sitting around the warm fireplace right now drinking hot chocolate mit schlagge. The one unfortunate event was that Randy got killed by a spider bite. It was horribly upsetting for all of us but time marches ever onward. Other than that all is well. We got Brett a beautiful St. Bernard in April. I think the dog is currently out roaming around in the field as he likes to do. Arnold got a new car in July and he is constantly working on it down in a rental stall somewhere. Charlie is in her room right now and not allowed out until supper. She was caught earlier today playing with fire. Usually she is no trouble at all. Trisha still loves to watch baseball but she often stops and stares towards the woods, lost in a daze. I don't know what that's about. Kids! Sheesh! Uncle Jack was just here a second ago but he seems to have disappeared. He's always doing that! Uncle Dan is here but does not seem to be in the Christmas spirit. I'm not sure what happened to him because he never used to be like that. Rosie was supposed to be here but she decided to spend Christmas with her new beau. He seems like such a nice man. Unlike her first husband, which we only ever met once at the wedding (that was enough!). Todd was released from the Juvenile Psychiatric detention center and is now living with us. He particularly likes watching that old Christmas nugget 'The Sound of Music'. I always hear him upstairs walking with such a heavy step. He never does that downstairs. Well, not much more to say. After our Hot Chocolate we are going downtown to inspect that odd little used store that recently opened up. I hope we are all caught up. Merry Christmas to everyone out there from our house to yours. Lot of Love...from all of us!
