December and Xmas Picture Thread.
That treeee! Love it.
Finally managed to upload some pictures of presents I wrapped
nice balls.
That's lovely.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Why thank you.
You are spectacular woman.
I used to wrap, not quite as well, but close. These days not so much.
Did I eve tell you guys about the year we had nothing wrapped on Christmas Eve? And we didn't get home until midnight from the party? We ended up wrapping everything in these pastry bags with red and green snowflakes on the front. James' cousin gave us a massive stack of them before we left when we said nothing was wrapped. They were the sort of bags you would get a round or loaf of artisan bread from the bakery in. We tried not to do it, but when three am rolled around we decided we loved those pastry bags.
Wow, you all put a lot of effort into wrapping gifts.
You obviously didn't read my post just before yours.
Haha! That wasn't there when I posted!
That's pretty funny.
Bloke has a present under the tree for me! I think it might be the first time in 6 years he's actually got a gift for me before xmas eve.
Hooray!!! You deserve to be teased with it there.
I have my gift for James hidden at my friend who lives around the corners house. He is terrible, he will search and he will find and he will even unwrap and then try to wrap it again if a present for him is anywhere in the house.
I'd tell you guys what it is but I suspect (though I am not positive) that he lurks here every now and again.
AWESOME!
A tiny part of the mountains of cookies made by mum and decorated by yours truly.
those look too pretty to eat! but i'll take a mountain please 
WOWSA! They look great!
WANT!
Those look sooooooo good!
I'll trade with all of you for pie, cherries (Sarah, I'm looking at you) and various Christmas-related food. We have more than enough, and I'm gonna take some to the New Year's party, as well.
The cookies look great!
Whatever Whore!
DO WANT! Awesome decorating job.
Yum, cookies! I'm starting on mine tonight, although I've got a bunch of other stuff to make, so I don't know if I'll have enough time to get as creative as you, Irina.

Well you have two kids that require more attention than a plate of cookies. That is a valid excuse.
You make amazing cakes, though. A-MA-ZING!
Those cookies look amazing, I had to show them off to my sister for you.

My Moleskine with a super cool design on the front. It's the first Moleskine I've seen with any sort of design and I love it!!
I was gonna take pictures of my other stuff, but I'm lazy.
Cool!
I've ordered myself a Moleskin diary (Weekly planner), I had one for 2010 and it's the best diary I've ever had. The one I'm getting has Peanuts (Snoppy etc) characters on the cover and through the diary. To get one with designs was much cheaper than getting a plain one.
Let the wild rumpus begin!
I got another onesie and a crazy hat that scared me half to death opening. The hat has ears on it and lil pockets for your hands. I need a crown with LED lights so I can go rave it up in the streets now hahaha
So many levels of awesome.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Even the chair is crazy.
AWESOME picture.
Jaz, you and that hat are all kinds of wonderful. I want to skip down the street with you in matching outfits.
Submitted without comment.

New jacket to show off!

Jaz, i was just having a conversation about those funny hats earlier today.
The guy on tuff's shirt looks like he is monkey barring it on the brace thing.
*Wondering if New Jacket comes in my size*
This is why we can't have nice things.
If you find it, will you buy me one too?

?
New Jacket?
That is a pretty knarly scar, btw.
Oh. The baby jacket. god i am a ditz.
Yes. Yes, you are.
We like you anyway.
Or, perhaps, in part, because of.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Last thing I remember before the gas hit was me something along the lines of, "Make sure you scar me up."
Apparently I am a collector of neckscars and I wanted a good one.

Most people lie to me and call me delightfully oblivious.

something to show for the effort
Precisely!
Who wants to get cut open and not have a scar to show for it.
This is why we can't have nice things.
imagine how ruined we would all look if there were physical evidene of every cutting open
You mean like papercuts and shaving atrocities and all that?
I suppose it would add up.
My hands would look like hamburger.
This is why we can't have nice things.
yes. that is exactly how i meant, tuff.
i never think in metaphors and it never shows
:LOL:
This is why we can't have nice things.
I instantly thought of you and when I visit me you and baby will skip down the streets of NZ with matching outfits
How romantic.
