The Annual Christmas Gift Giving thread

Like the Taal thread, but this is for everyone. Give your fellow pwebbers an imaginary gift!

It's loads of fun, and I can't remember the last time we did this.

I give Jayelle a bathtub. To play with the Canaduck in.

steph · Postby **steph** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 9:42 am

To Ollie, I give a private island with a huge mansion with a theatre for private stage performances and movie premieres.

To Jan, I give Leilani Duck, who is holding 2 plane tickets to Hawaii so Jayelle and Caspian can have a romantic place to start making all those babies! (We want Mini-Caspian! We want Mini-Caspian!)

To Alea and Jani, I give a night at RENT for the 3 of us together. All inclusive: sitting in the center rush seats, signing the RENT wall, and hanging out with the cast after the performance.

For everyone, mini-sock monkeys!

And for Eriador, a book of LotR quotes.

steph · Postby **steph** » Sun Dec 10, 2006 3:51 pm

To Young Val, a pretty new scarf and gloves set. And a new blanket for cuddling with while having breakdowns. (I love my breakdown blanket!)

To Jebus, a baseball bat that makes sound effects when you swing it. Just because that's what came to my mind when I thought about Jebus just now.

To blueantoidgirl, dinner with me and Brian, since we don't live too far away.

Well, to my Mother I give a day at the spa, as she desperately needs it.

Incorrect use of the thread, dude.

I'm giving everyone a new paperback copy of Ender's Game because everyone has probably read theirs to death.

hive_king · Postby **hive_king** » Sun Dec 10, 2006 7:35 pm

To fred I give a penguin. His name is Bartlett.

Petra456 · Postby **Petra456** » Tue Dec 12, 2006 2:55 pm

To Alea I give a day off where she dosen't have to do anything but stay in bed, eat ice cream, and watch whatever tv/movies she wants.

To Nick I give a pony with a paper horn glued to his head. His name is Charlie. I also give a bag full of chicken strips, because I still have left overs.

To Josh I give solid gold tumbleweed, because how cool would that be?

More later.

Young Val · Postby **Young Val** » Tue Dec 12, 2006 3:30 pm

*hugs steph* thank you.

to naomi, i give the comfiest pair of birks ever, and a copy of my favorite "dear reader" lj entry, because she is always so supportive of whatever i feel and write, and it makes me feel as though it's ok for me to express myself that way.

to steph, i give one full day off to use however she chooses. cooking, cleaning, babysitting (if wanted) are all covered. also, burned copies of the workshop version of RENT before it hit broadway that was given to me by a very well-connected friend--slightly different songs, slightly different plot elements--and an absolute must-have for any RENT fan. (assuming she doesn't already have them, that is).

to janelle, i give a well-worn copy of F&Z with all my favorite parts marked, also a complete walking tour of astoria in ideal weather in order to prove it's got "plenny'a'chahm" as we say in boston.

to ollie, i'm paying your muse's parking meter so she'll stick around. that way you can keep writing without any pesky block creeping in.

more soon.

Postby **Luet** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 9:52 am

I actually have a chococat plush doll, but thank you DP for thinking of me!

And thank you Jayelle for the hugs. I'm actually sleeping well right now because I've been sick. Maybe it'll take.

Petra456 · Postby **Petra456** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 12:52 pm

I would do terrible things to acquire such a device. You have no idea...

Postby **Eaquae Legit** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 2:07 pm

Oh, I do. I really, really do.

To Jason, I give an identical magical device.

To Steph: I give an evening out with her dearest friends and her husband, at the location of her choice (restaurant, home). Fred already took care of the kids.

To John: I give American citizenship. If necessary, I'll marry him off to a single friend for long enough to make that happen.

I'm afraid to ask what this is.

It's probably best you don't know.

To everyone: one christmas present wished for, granted by Santa.

(I just hate being left out of the picture, even though I'm an atheist..)

Mich · Postby **Mich** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 1:37 pm

Then thank you for the nice, fluffy bathrobe. And it's green, too! How did you know?

Well said, Fred.

(Ha. That rhymed.)

steph · Postby **steph** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 11:04 pm

Thanks for the gifts! My brain is too tired to think of gifts for pwebbers this year, so instead, everyone gets a snowball of real Colorado snow! Enjoy! (And don't throw them at me. Anyone else is free reign.)

Postby **Jayelle** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 11:43 pm

Thanks Steph!

Aww come on. The least you could do is marry him yourself.

Um, since when?

It wouldn't work out; I don't cook and I mostly despise kitchens.

Don't tell me you forgot how that started, Alea.
