Yes we are 34 - assuming spoom and scooter are in! Once I get these addresses I will start sending out your secret santa persons - oh and for the curious, I will just write down all the names, put them in a bag, go down the list and pick one out of the bag for each one!

I just realized I forgot to put myself on the list :lol:

Hm...lemme wait til Spoom wakes up and see if he wants to play :) I'll send an e-mail as soon as I know!

okie dokie

Ok Christmas secret santas - today is the day! I figure we will stop taking names for this at 4:00 (Mountain Standard time :lol: ) today! That way I can get the list and addresses together and start notifying everyone.

Before I do that I will post a list of all the names I have to make sure I haven't missed anyone!

4:00 pm MST? Yesterday? Did I get missed? :crying:

Montreal Interviewer: "What do you have in common with each other?"

Peachey: "We're REALLY weird."

Montreal Interviewer (incredulously to me): "Do you agree with that?"

<I think back to several days before the interview. Driving through the country, passing a field with cows...>

Peachey: "MOOOO! MOOOOO! Does this make me weird?"

Me: "No, well yes. Here, let me roll down the windows so they can hear you better!"

Peachey: "MOOOOO!!!!"

<back to interview>

Me: "Yes, yes I do."

Carla, you are already on the list :lol:

I posted a list yesterday of people whose addresses I was missing and I have pm'd each of them, I did get three more emails yesterday thank you!

So below is the list of people I have, I am missing 4 Names/Addresses now. I don't want to be to hasty in cutting the list off because I don't want anyone to miss out who wants to do this :)

Soooo we have to extend the cutoff a bit methinks. But yes, we do have an uneven number at this point, not sure how to handle that, but we will figure it out!

Do you have any hobbies in particular?

love reenacting, so I'm really interested in military history. Reading, either fiction or non. I love cats...if you can call that a 'hobby' :lol:

What are your favourite colours?

Navy Blue is my favourite.

Do you decorate for Christmas?

Do I ever!

What colours do you use and what style (if any) do you like?

I use traditional colours, red, green, gold, silver

When you shop, what are your favourite things to shop for?

I'm not particular when I shop. It all depends what I'm in the mood for :P

I'm horrible at this, but I do have to say, I have never been disappointed in gifts, because I know it's the spirit of the season and the thought :)
