All right, howdy ya'll, looks like I've convinced myself to bring this over to Mene. And for those of my friends who urged my to create a permanent hangout, it will please you to know that Aurora Caribou will be its name. I'm not sure if I'll include Kitcottage, I think I'll put in something else.
So, why don't we get this festival started, you've waited long enough, I've waited since last month!

+ O + O + O + O +

Welcome to all of you, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and whatever else it is you take part in. This hasn't been the best year for any of us, worldwide, methinks. Notwithstanding, I en't here to complain - I'm blessed and so are you, don't ever forget that.

Lounge around as you please, I'd appreciate the company, after all we have a ton of baking to accomplish. For my part, I've a myriad arrangement of pies, breads, fruit cups, tea, coffee, and quiet entertainment.


No rules!
- Other than I expect you all to be encouraging to each other, even if not overly merry. There is plenty to celebrate, and not because it's Christmas, just because.

Deilen! *flying leaps into the thread* So now we get off at 1 for those of us that came in at 6 this morning for work. How exciting. *happy dance*

And I will so keep your thread alive, just short of spamming, I am your girl friday for thread life!

Whew that's good Queen!
And yay, I could sure use the company. If you make a thread, link me, because we have a lot of chatting to do between now and the end. I'm so glad the event is finally here, the way we play is...complex but I reckon I can manage. xD If I don't keep forgetting to visit Viktoria every 15 minutes.
So what you doing? Looks like you went shopping already, I'm hoping I can get enough bowls to buy some stuff, I doubt it. I happen to want the most expensive thing in the shop, :drool:

Deilen, what item did you want from the store? And yes, I bought all the items from the store that I wanted.

I did make a thread and it's in this forum.

Ehm I have to look back at the list I made, no worries, I will get it though! :illgetu: so long as we keep talking.

Hehe, Hello Dei! :D

Deilen, you better tell me the item, other wise I will go through the store and buy the most expensive items and send them over to you!

*POKE* Hi there! :vicky:

Aw, no Queen, I wasn't mentioning it to have you get me it! :shock: I just...ew, don't mind what I said xD please please please.

Hi mags, how are ya? =D

Hello Nat, m'love!

I might take another nap in a moment - i have yet to decide.

No napping for me, I just finished exercising, now I need to shower, then I have to make my grandfather bathe, then...maybe eat and read. Or play on here with you all.

Merry Christmas Eve to you! I hope your thread stays alive, if you don't mind I'd love to keep you company madame as we bake. -small bow of the head- It has been a very blessed year to me, even if having little money means I nearly could not spend christmas with my family. Thankfully, I have made it to my family.

Hello there Cuddly, and a warm welcome to you. I'm glad that you're feeling good. Please stay and enjoy yourself, I'll be in and out because I've things to do, but I'm here.

Oh good, I'll subscribe to this thread then. Just to keep updated =D

Aw, well great, the more the merrier. If you have a thread link me, I'll go and invade so that you have company too. In the meantime, how is the ingredient gathering going?

Deilen, this isn't a democracy, it's my Christmas gift to you, so better tell me what it is....:stare:

LOL You're right, because even a Democracy only works in theory :O And I can't say, it seems to have slipped my mind since FAUXREAL decided to be naughty and buy me one of the tights! :illgetu: Don't you go snooping either. But um...what might I ask, are YOU going for - just out of curiosity?

Not going for anything since I bought all that I wanted from the store. But if you are so inclined to buy me something, a small item from my quest thread is fine with me. The lists there are all up to date. And I am so raiding your list on your quest thread to see what you want!

YOU ALREADY SPOILED ME!!! STOPPETTT! :rawrmayor:

I luv ya :vicky:

You're most welcome my dear.

:hug:!!!

Are you going for anything in the giving back auction?

Nope, I don't usually participate in that, sorry.

Just curious, because I see a lot of Raffle people there and I was thinking, man they must have mad money. :P

I logged onto Ruffles for the first time in a month and some change and I've been demoted from Moderator and I find that my heart isn't broken. That site is just too small still.

The ingredient gathering is going well Deilen, here's the thread you asked for that I opened ^^, The Bakery Hangout
