Unwrapping games sound so cool. I have something called The American Girls' Handy Book, published in 1887, which has a section on nordic christmas present traditions, which sound wild. I wish we had more stuff like that now a days. Your family is so cool for keeping them up, Woady:

a Kat and a Biggles! *hug hug hug hug* [hug]

It was the most unproductive week that ever was....accept I did send in the down payment on the wedding venue <3 <3

Biggles, that's wonderful! Honestly, if the holidays were just about getting together and playing games, I would be so happy with that. Just little prizes for the winners (and well, everyone) and such. I want a julklapp! ;)
I agree. Gather round, do silly little things, enjoy each other's company. Keep the fire roaring. That's all I want!

I am, sadly sometimes, forced to be productive.

i think is the case for most adults lol but then we can eat ice cream for breakfast if we want and do what we want :P

I am so over working on weekends. So over it.

:/ I feel yeah. Working weekends sucks.

i feel very lucky that i work school hours. no nights or weekends. that's only one of a few perks though lol

mmmmm. I have Friday-Sunday off...and it's awesome, three day weekends, but then it's torture to go back on Monday. I just work long ass days M-Thursday

i wish i had 3 days a week off. even if i did have to work long ass days the other 4. so worth it

I have such odd hours off (Tuesday and Saturday). I would give anything to have my days off back to back because I have to take off work anytime I want to go on a trip or go out of town, even if it's just overnight.

I am off this coming weekend. Which makes me happy.

That's awesome. everyone needs a vacation even if its only three days or so.

wow, poor sprinkles thread! so dusty! *wipes away dust*

Hey Linny great cosplay.

hey, kirin, and thanks! this hair, i tell ya. in fact i was expecting to see like queen of hearts cosplays lol i haven't seen any yet

I like all the wigs this time. Need to make my list of the colors I want.

yea i want them all too!

Don't want them all. Just different colors of the three styles. And some ballgowns. But it probably won't happen.

yea it'll be hard, the fancier the item the more it will cost. but at least they are half price now, after the event the price is doubled [gonk] i made that mistake last event and missed out on most of the half price items i wanted

I just am really aching for the white and the red ball gown, and perhaps the black.

get posting and maybe play some of the games too! you'll have that dress in no time [yes]

I stole from my mule.

hahaha that's how i save gold, i send it to my mule!

Yeah that's the only reason I had any gold to get what I got. Oh you making an event thread?

nah, nothing more than the staff one i made with the trivia
