SECRET SANTA 2018

[Gazman]

osnafrank you're my giftee so here goes!

I managed to organise this for you....

Spoiler

Chaos and the chocolate factory as leak smothers German street

Just a street full of chocolate in Germany, the top few inches are good I'd say so get chopping and I'll be there to help.

When you've collected all of that you can wash it down with this, don't worry that it costs €50,000 per bottle, it's on me....

Spoiler

Then we'll take a little trip down to...

Spoiler

The Königssee!

where I can give you this poster and we can talk about the good old times...

Spoiler

After all the football talk you'll be hungry so I took a crash course in German food and rustled up these....

Spoiler

Schnitzel and Spaetzel

I invited a few friends over too to help out...

Spoiler

Don't forget the live music, they said they'd play if we share the chocolate with them...

Spoiler

After all that we can relax with a nice...

Spoiler

Homemade Irish Coffee

I realise that these gifts are Alcohol and Germany heavy but I'm newish to the board and you can only stalk for so long.

Hope you have a great Christmas, Prost!!

Hi Gazman

Hope you're almost ready for Christmas!

Santa heard you've been a very good boy this year so he got you a two book set - it's the Regulators and Desperation - signed by Stephen King!

Spoiler: Special books

(I heard this was the first book of his you read at the tender age of 13)

Spoiler: Beer!

Your next gift (above) is a Guiness beer gift pack - I know you were planning to buy Mr. King a Guinness but perhaps it would be better to keep it for yourself!

p.s. He doesn't drink much anymore so perhaps a nice cuppa tea would be more in line with what he likes (if he were to just suddenly show up in the UK)

Perhaps you could share the beer with Brendan Gleeson - I'm sure he's met Mr. King, having worked on Mr. Mercedes. - Pretty cool that he lives only a few minutes drive from you.

Spoiler: Sangria

I heard you were looking for a good recipe!
How to make sangria

1. Add diced apples, oranges and lemon juice to a large pitcher. Stir to combine.
2. Add red wine, brandy and orange juice and stir all the ingredients together.
3. Refrigerate sangria for 3 to 4 hours, up to overnight, before serving.
4. Serve sangria over a glass of ice. Top with sparkling water, if desired.

Spoiler: Vintage T-shirt

This is to wear to the Fleetwood Mac concert you bought tickets for this coming Summer!

Spoiler: New system with games

You can play these games to relax and unwind after the new baby has settled down for the night!

Spoiler: Nice cuppa tea

Nothing like a nice hot cup of tea and perhaps a few biscuits on the side

Speaking of cookies (or biscuits as you call them):

Spoiler: White chocolate chip cookies

Spoiler: "The Borg"

Heard you think The Borg are the best thing about Star Trek - enjoy!

After a hard day working, I'm sure you will be happy to have this for your 'tea':

Spoiler: Pizza Lasagna!

Next a wee Irish joke for you (you've probably already heard it but I hope not) ☺

Spoiler: Irish Humour

I did notice you have an excellent sense of humour

Well that's all for now - I do wish you:

Spoiler: All the Best at this Holiday Season

and of course, as always
Love and Green Lights

Spoiler: Happy Christmas

Do you still say "Happy Christmas" over there or has it morphed into "Merry Christmas" now?

Any way you look at it I wish you the best - good health and much happiness in the coming New Year

 

[Neesy]

Gazman

Ooops - I almost forgot - here is your ticket:

Spoiler: Going to Kansas!

Not sure if it's actually in Kansas City proper but it's a ticket for the King Kon in 2020! (actually two - get those kids babysat and enjoy a vacation for just the two of you!)

Spoiler: Another silly joke

Another joke for you - but the tickets are real!

 

[Gazman]

Some great work/stalking Neesy

That's a great joke

The Borg are the best thing about Star Trek!

Didn't realise Kansas City was so welcoming!!

The babysitting is a great idea, I'm working on it!

Too many great things to comment on all of them but you did a great job.

Thanks for making me feel so welcome on the Board and I hope you and yours have an amazing Christmas.

Was my stalking so obvious?

I wanted to put something in there about your wife walking down the aisle to the theme from Voyager but wasn't sure how to do that.

Hope the kids are doing well and are getting excited about Christmas!

p.s. DO you still say "Happy Christmas"?

Hey guess what? We finally got that tree up last night (talk about waiting until the last minute, eh?)

 

[Sundrop]

Dear Spideyman, Santa dropped off some things for you at my place......

Spoiler: A Mountain Hideaway just for you

Spoiler: The view from your front porch

Spoiler: A Place to relax beside a nice fire

Spoiler: A place to enjoy a nice cup of tea and soak away the stress

But wait, there's more!!!!!........

 

[Sundrop]

Spoiler: A nice relaxing beverage

Spoiler: Enjoy a good adventure, mystery, or romance!!

Spoiler: Let the creative juices flow!!

Spoiler: The best Philly has to offer!

But wait, there's still more!!!!.......

Not at all! I had no idea.

Lots of excitement but three kids under 5 with the Chicken pox at the moment! but all should be clear for Christmas Day.

The Wife walking down the Aisle to Voyager was a bit of a jibe to me because we had always argued which was better, The Next Generation or Voyager. Obviously its TNG! the theme song sounds good played by a String Quartet though.

We do still say "Happy Christmas" and "Merry Christmas" or "Nollaig Shona Duit" in Irish.



Glad you have all the decorations up!

 

[Sundrop]

Spoiler: Something whimsical

Spoiler: An endless supply for the critters

Spoiler: Something vintage for your collection

Spoiler: An endless supply so you and the critters never have to worry

Spoiler: Because it's green and reminds me of you ♥

The Celtic Tree Of Life symbolizes the forces of nature coming together in perfect
harmony to maintain the balance in the universe

Spoiler: And finally,

Merry Christmas to you, sweet Spideyman! I love you and hope you have the best most wonderful Christmas ever!!!! ♥♥♥

 

[Spideyman]

Sundrop ----what marvelous and perfect gifts you have bestowed upon me. Tears of joy!
A dream log cabin in the woods, with the most beautiful view and a quiet place by the fire pit. I could ask for no more. Yet, I find a hot tub which is so much better than the gulf!!
Flowering tea, equals beauty and taste. Books within the cabin and a crafting room too!!
My beloved doxies- treasures and bless you for Chewy( I should own stock in them). The endless supply of money ---manifestations heard. Vintage crafts and items bring memories.
The Celtic Tree of Life,how beautiful. It brings serenity and zen together in one.
Love and green lights-- such a big part of the meaning of life.

I thankee Sunny for each and every gift. You are loved and must always know how special you are. I wish you and your munchkin a Merry Christmas, may all your wishes come true.
