As far as I know. Stupidly, I threw out the tracking number, but I'm not sure what good that would do anyway...

I've given up hope at this point: [mention]Glorfindel[/mention], I'm so sorry that my package didn't get to you Something must've gotten lost in translation from Asheville, North Carolina to Australia, and I'm really bummed.

I can at least show you what you would've gotten! I did some shopping at Horse and Hero, my favorite art gallery in town, and got you a card from a local artist, along with a refrigerator magnet and a few cool stickers. The stickers were by local artist Hannah Dansie, and the magnet was specifically a "spell to prevent loss of voice" by Abacus Corvus. I figured the latter would be perfect for Mafia, lol. Perhaps it acted as a proxy to prevent an even greater catastrophe?

Again, I'm super bummed that it didn't work. If you should ever find yourself in North Carolina, Glorf, I owe you all of the beers!

Trick or Treat night is over. Time to start thinking about Christmas! Who wants to be in on the gift exchange this year?

I like giving stuff away. I'm like a poor Oprah.

Of course I'm in

Wait, Trick or Treat night is October 31.
But yeah, I want to be in on the gift exchange!

I'm in!

I'll start us a list of who's in:

-Epignosis
-G-Man
-Lunalee
-Nutella
-Speedchuck

Are you in charge of this G?

No. At least I don’t think so. I just like making lists.

And checking them twice?

How else am I going to find out who’s naughty and nice?

You give spankings to your kids and ice cream to your wife.

Or is the other way around?

You’ll have to ask my wife.

No, we just have to ask the kids if they ever get ice cream. Then we'll know. That's how logic works right?


btw someone else should run this I don't really feel like doing it again (cause I want the element of surprise I guess)

I suppose I could organize it this year.

If you want in, let me know by the end of the month.

-Epignosis
-G-Man
-Lunalee
-Nutella
-Speedchuck

I made a poll for this. If you want in, click "Yes." The poll closes November 30.

I'd like to take part.

a little too difficult for me this year, with changing locations and addresses. i'll be in this next year, though. (:

maybe a mass pm invite would be a good idea? we need more people and some might not see this thread/remember or know it exists esp if they're newer

Why do we need more people? Haven't you read "The Gift of the Magi?" All anyone needs is longer hair, and these days, a wrist.

I just think it's fun and don't want people to miss out on an opportunity to share stuff if they'd be interested and just aren't aware.

I was just teasing. I'll send something out today.

Probably a good time to remind you folks of this...

For whoever gets me, please know that:
-I do not drink tea.
-I do not drink coffee.
-I am not a hot sauce connoisseur.
-I wear a size XL shirt.
-My favorite colors are green and blue.
-I'm not very picky.
-I have two children who excel at breaking things.
-I don't really need stuff, so food and/or a letter would do just fine. Quaint and tasteful knickknacks are welcome, but food and a nice letter are always welcome.
-Our mailman will bend, fold, or squash anything you send in an attempt to get it into our mailbox rather than walk it up to the house.

My sister would like to participate as well. Captain Bunny Killer. She isn't on the site too often anymore because it's just hard for her to play with her visual disability, but she would like to aka part in the exchange, if you guys don't mind. We are both staying here in Waco for Christmas, neither of us felt we could handle the holiday with the whole family this year witheverything going on in. Each our personal lives. So it would be nice to have a little something to give and receive with you all.

That's fine. I'll keep her in mind.

I'll be sure not to send her a bunny.

Is the bunny a captain? If not, it should be safe.

Voted but forgot to post that I'm in.

The poll closes in less than 24 hours, so invite your friends if you've not done so.

Make sure to click yes in the poll.

Poll closed

I'm waiting on a couple more PMs. As soon as I have them, I'll be sending out names.

All PMs have been sent for this. If you were expecting one and didn't get one, let me know.

Am I the first to receive a gift?!?!

I got some goodies from Huntsville, Alabama today. There were some beautifully decorated chocolates which I cannot wait to try and some tea that smells amazing! With those, was a sweet, homemade Christmas card. Thank you, Luna.

Yay! Glad it arrived okay!

Looks to me like you already tried them.

I had one AFTER writing the post.

Hey so I looked back at some of my old stuff and somehow I got bea and SVS confused my memory is so bad @bea I apologize for never sending you stuff back. I actually ended up having a brain tumor and got really sick and I'm so sorry. I enjoyed the things you sent me and very much appreciated it. Idk how to tag bea but I hope she reads this. She was always so nice to me.

I apologize in advance to the recipient of my gift. I haven’t even bought it yet. Look for it in 2019.

From Blooper I received local tea, spicy mustard, two kinds of jerky, a handwritten note and a nifty magnet. Squee!

That mustard is sinfully divine.

Hooray! I sent another package to a friend that was slated to arrive tomorrow, but hers also came in today. The USPS is full of surprises
