Didnt travelling frog run it. I think she did in 2013 when I first moved here.

You didn't put your real name in the message so I had no choice!

I also seriously considered the wind chimes :).

And the bulky things from Dorset you're considering... I put them in! They almost didn't fit, so I think if you wanted to take 4 things, the box would survive. It's not like there isn't enough great stuff!
Sorry I didn't put my real name. I blame baby brain. I think I will end up taking them, I did some research and they are only done certain times of the year, so I don't think I can pass them.

I'll more than make up for it with gifts inside. Nice to see my contributions from last time are gone :)

I'm so happy that the wind chimes are finally getting some love!  ;)

I was so sure they were your contribution!  That was the other thing I wanted to take but I already had too much.

Didnt travelling frog run it. I think she did in 2013 when I first moved here.

Oh my gawd!  I read that as "Didn't travelling frog ruin it?", like five times before I realized what it really said.  I was all, "No way she'd be so blunt!"

Oh dear!! No I like travelling frog. And would only be that blunt face to face, and to the actual person's face.

Yeah, I know!  It was just funny when I realized my mistake.  I mean, I kept looking at it in total confusion.  It didn't sound like you, and it didn't fit with my impression of Traveling Frog.  :)

Well I'm glad your impression of me is a good one :)

When I first joined UKY we used to do a Secret Santa. It stopped because the person who used to run it doesn't post anymore. Maybe the pass-the-parcel group could revive it?

We'd be the perfect group for it.  Only if we wanted the items to arrive by Christmas, we should set the list in June.   Otherwise, it'll be more of a Christmas-in-July.  I love that NONE of us enjoy going to the post office!   ;D

I think if someone receives the box and gets it back out in the post within a week, they should be banned and removed!   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Not apologising as it's against the rules.... I still have the box, life has gotten in the way of sending it out. Hopefully by the weekend :)

I miss the Secret Santa :( - it's been a few years since we did it.

We wouldn't have to do it the Pass the Parcel way though. Previously, we had one person organise it and anyone who wanted to take part signed up and PM'd their details to the organiser (address, likes, dislikes), then the organiser matched everyone up and you sent a gift to whoever your assigned Secret Santa was :).

Did you end up taking the extra thing your husband wanted?
On s'envolera du même quai
Les yeux dans les mêmes reflets,
Pour cette vie et celle d'après
Tu seras mon unique projet.

Je t'aimais, je t'aime, et je t'aimerai.

In theory, I would, but I never know which country I'll end up working in around Christmas, so I can't guarantee I'll actually be available to organise it.
