Kkay (who used to do this years ago) hasn't been around in awhile and I always had fun with it.  Let's do it again?

If you are interested in playing, sign up in this thread.  The point being that you are assigned a "ooze  member" and you scour the internet to find suitable pictures of gifts for the recipient.  No limit on how much to "spend" on them.  One year it kinda went all pear-shaped, but hopefully this time it'll be alright.  My advice is if you can't say something nice, then don't play. 

I'll wait a few days to see if anybody is interested, then make the appropriate assignments, and then we'll post our "gifts" in another thread.  One variation is that we don't tell the person who the gifts are for, we make them guess if the presents and for them.  :D

Fun!  I'm in. :)

I'm in.



Cat

Haven't played this before, but I'm in too.

I'll give it a go again!

If anyone needs help in posting pictures, just ask and we'll help you out  :)

Ok count me in.  :)

Last chance... anyone want in, I'm going to start assigning people their secret santa person to "buy" for this weekend...

So please post in this thread by... oh... say 2 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and I will try to get things rolling by early evening.  OK?

Participants - CHECK YOUR MAILBOX for your assigned person.  If you did not receive a person to "shop" for, then I screwed up (which is entirely possible).  Please let me know if you did not get an e-mail here from me.

Here are my gifts for my person.  I really hope you enjoy them.  Please post if you know who gets these (let the person whose presents they are say "These are for me??!!)

Thank You Book for the wonderful gifts. I am sure I am going to enjoy Subway and Dunkin Donuts every day, my favorite places to go to. :)

You are welcome Howard, I'm glad you liked them.  I tried to find everything I thought you'd love.  :D

OK, since almost everyone posted their gifts, I think we'll try new this year...  If you'd like to "buy" a gift for someone else (anyone else on this board (whether they signed up for the thread or not) feel free to post a picture here.) 

You are welcome Howard, I'm glad you liked them.  I tried to find everything I thought you'd love.  :D


Dunkin Dounts and Subway are my favorite and plus I can't wait to go Wrestlemania 28 next year.

Santa dropped some presents off for some ooze members (which is pretty darned amazing since our fireplace was completely bricked in with fake bricks.  :\'( )  I still haven't finished opening all the presents, but let's see who all I've found for... so far:

I am keeping the Holiday Cheer going a little longer.  My Christmas festivities ended up taking some unexpected turns, and this is quite delayed. Thought of you all often, and I did not forget!  Hope the receiver loves it!


First and for most I want instill some Christmas spirit and help with the motivation to inspire Christmas.

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS ON YOUR HOUSE!  I hope you think they are tasteful and not tacky  ;)

I think it will go great in your new library  8)

http://www.beautiful-libraries.com/library%20photos/home%20libraries%20larger/2001.jpeg

Because I want one, and my mother has always taught me to give away a gift that you really want shows true selflessness.  I think this is the epitome of luxury.  Hope you are into it as well :)

For the new year, I thought you could avoid the mechanic.  So here are His and Her's cars.  I am not picking, you two can fight over whose is whose  8)

Merry Christmas. :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!  I started smiling as soon as I saw the tree and the ornaments! I have always wanted some vintage ones like that. 

THE Wonderbread the WHOLE family appreciates soo.  We are in bread denial right now, only eating King's Hawaiin Rolls (but we cannot make a grilled cheese or toast with those).

Even though I cannot see the vacation now, I am sure it was wonderful and I will really really enjoy it!

Thank you soo much!
