Christmas Eve is now New Years Eve

At least so far as the normal Christmas Eve gifts are concerned.  

From talking to everyone, most folks are having a bit of trouble finding their intended items and getting them mailed off this year.  This is partially (ok, mostly) due to me not getting The Theme set at Thanksgiving.  For some reason I wasn’t able to think about the Eve gift around then; small children demanding attention or somesuch.  

Anyway, I believe if everyone is able to get things aquired/mailed by Friday we should be good to go for New Years Eve as our gift period this year.

Christmas Assignments

Well, this is my year.   Thank you to Ramona to reminding me that I need to get on it.

Assignments(1) are as follows:

 Chris got  Luke
 Christina got  Kevin
 Ramona got  Nelia
 Kevin got  Christina
 Luke got  Ramona
 Nelia got  Chris

 

Mission: Zodiac Signs.

You are encouraged to think beyond the literal.  Aquarius is the Water Bearer.  You could send a bucket.  You could send a water bottle.  Or you should send a small shovel, to help move obstacles in the way of the flow.  Or maybe an ice cube tray, to help keep their load cool.  Be creative, but keep it tied back to the Zodiac sign.

I know the following off the top of my head:

Chris : Gemini
Christina: Capricorn
Ramona: Pisces
Nelia: Cancer
 

If I got one wrong, let me know. If you know others, let me know and I’ll fill them in.

Note 1: For future reference, you can use this page to come up with people assignments: christmas_assign_page  It will generate a new round of assignments every time you visit.  Also, due to not spending that much time on it, every now and then it might not generate the full list of people.

garlic

So, Ramona, you say you want a garlic thing, something to chop garlic. Do you mean a commonly available garlic press or one of the rather clever garlic choppers? BE SPECIFIC!
