PM's have been sent out. If for some reason you didn't get one please let me know. Let the gift hunting begin!
Woohoo!
Now we can sing carols, can we, can we?
Yes we can!
My all-time favourite! I know the lyrics by heart cause when I was 10 I had to sing it at a Christmas school play. Those must've been the cutest years of my childhood, when I was still going to a language school.
Yay! I'm excited.

And I struggled for weeks to learn this one, I still remember how stressed out I was that I might forget the words.
I've been in so many Christmas plays/pageants I'm surprised I don't know most of those Christmas Carols by heart. We even sang at a few convalescent homes. It still boggles my mind how all of a sudden I have stage fright.
This is one of my more recent favorite Christmassy songs
And this song reminds me of my crazy grandma and was also the first christmas song I remember learning in preschool
FINALLY I get to post this! I just love it and Florence is amazing.
Also, Jaz, I know Feliz Navidad by heart and several other Spanish carols and/or Christmas songs. My favourite is Campana sobre campana, from when I was in kindergarten and we learned alllllll the songs.

Y'all, I'm SO excited about this. I've already got 37 and a half ideas. I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying I got a girl, and since my children are smelly boys, IT IS SO AWESOME TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PICK OUT GIRL THINGS!!!
I got the best of both worlds, a sticky-sweet, cutesy daughter (who is by default, not smelly) who likes cute girl things like Hello Kitty but still wants to play with Hot Wheels once in a while!

That was me and my little cousin. She loves Cars, Speed Racer, Thomas the Train, and Star Wars but she also loves getting manicures and other girly things.
My daughter is about as sparkly and frilly and girly as it gets, except when she is spitting and cussing and wrestling with her three older brothers.
The boys are so funny too, they will get all loud and arguing when they think her skirt is too short or something on tv might sully her virtue. I've heard "I really don't think [this or that] is appropriate for Lily!" many times, it is so amusing to me.
Zachariah and Trevor chased a little boy off once because they didn't like what he was doing around her and then Gabriel had to have the whole story later when he heard about it with all the details to find out if they had done the job well enough.
without revealing any details, I just made something for my secret santa recipient that I'm quite proud of.
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
Uh, you revealed all the details on your wall on facebook. lmao
no I didn't, derp
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
Always late to the ballgame. Oh well, I'm sort of broke this year too cause I've been breeding and all. Got to wreak havoc on the world in some way after I'm gone right?

OG Speed Racer, The movie, or the new series?
Welp, this is going to seem like an odd question that will probably land me on the watch list, but do you think it's okay to send...
a very tiny pair of scissors?
I've never used the title heading in a post before. Always wanted to. I FEEL ALIVE
Are the scissors broken in your house, son?
In a word, no. It might be okay with the person who gets the gift, but post office people will never allow that.
My problem is whether my post office sells boxes or not, and which post office I can send my package from, because I need a customs officer to write some forms.

Wow... totally missed that. We were watching the movie.

In other news: I've got all my loot for my secret santa together, all I need now is a handwritten letter but I need more urine. For the invisible ink, of course!

I'm pretty sure my cousin watches the old school series because my uncle is a nerd and has the dvd...ok so we have the dvd in my home too. My cousin had them put the Mach 5 on her 5th Birthday cake, was super cute. She was also an Ewok for Halloween. I loved the Speed Racer movie too. High 5 for cool kids that share your genes!
This was my thought at first, but then I looked up the thing that these scissors are a part of, and they sell a million varieties of it on Amazon. Doesn't that mean that they can be shipped? Or does Amazon get special scissor-shipping privileges? They are in kind of a box, which I wrapped in wrapping paper, which will be put into another box. There's no way anybody could be harmed.
To be safe, I think I'll just send the kit in a separate box than the rest of my person's stuff.
Are the scissors broken in your house, son?
I don't see why you wouldn't be allowed to mail scissors? I mean, you are mailing them, your aren't taking them on a plane.
You should check your post office's site, Sam. They should have a list of banned items.
yes, you can mail sharp objects.

USPS says:
"Sharp instruments include all sharp–pointed or sharp–edged implements such as knives, tools, ice picks, razor blades, stilettos, or similar devices. When uncertain about the mailability of a sharp instrument or a switchblade knife, a ruling may be requested from the local postmaster (see 215.3)."
NO STILETTOS YOU GUYS
Looks like I'm in the clear though!
Are the scissors broken in your house, son?
Yeah also my post office rules state that it is illegal to send or bring into the country "immoral or obscene items".
Guess I won't be visiting Romania.

My state has similar laws. You can't buy a sex toy online and have it shipped to a mailing address in the state of Alabama.
Apparently we don't have that here in Texas... I have a whole box of those in my closet that were mailed here.

Sex toys or scissors?
Both?
What would you need a box of sex toys and scissors in your closet for?
Sex toys for le sex and scissors in case you can't untie the rope at the end.
^What she said
And sadomasochism
I'm sending my package tomorrow since I'm so far from all of you, so it'll reach my Secret Santa person before Christmas. I apologise in advance for the edges of the box, my cat mistook it for food.
I hope the customs officer will let me send candy.
I'm still waiting for last year's.
Screw you bums. Every one!
Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
If you can wait until after Christmas - once my expenses calm down - I'll exchange something with you Tuff!
Not Kwanzaa. I an't accepting no meaningful handmade shite.
Purim, say?

I can send something out around that time if that works.

Is that what you're supposed to say there? Well, Thank God for Google translate too.
Yes I did.
