TT Christmas ornament exchange

“You're going to visit me wearing a Christmas stocking (you write what you want, I'll read what I want)?”

“I just choked on a shredded mini wheat! You almost killed me Nimblefoot!”

“graska,
My daughter had the task of mailing your Christmas package. She informed me yesterday that you'll see it Thursday by UPS. They wouldn't let her choose a faster option due to the address???

Sorry for the delay I swear it'll be worth the wait.

Thanks for the Santa ornament and the fudge! The adorable ornament has a front and center spot on my tree. The fudge disappeared :-)”

“Thank you so much for the ornament. It's so cute. I just love it! And the dark chocolate was really yummy. I had to hide it from my kids.”

“Meanie!”

“You little rascals, trying to steal my present from Maple! The joke's on you, she told me it's monkey poop. I'll email you my REAL address, Maple!

Thanks for the heads-up, Gem :-)

Jimmy san, I ordered your ornament 2 weeks ago, but I just got an email today saying it was just sent out. Bastards!! It had better make it there for Christmas or else...”

“hahahaha lyra, I betcha you ordered it from the same people as I have. company starts with the letter "H"???”

“Yes!!! Shut up!

BOL!”

“VERY COOL!!



Again, thanks Nonconformist, and Tara :)”

“it's hard to tell from the picture - What is that design? Amoeba?”

“Is that a Petoskey stone?”

“that is a petoskey stone...”

“Petoskey Stone

This interesting stone is a variety of Calcite. It was formed by the fossilization of ancient coral, Hexagonaria. The coral lived in shallow waters and today's fossil often includes ancient silt and mud. Petoskey Stones are foudn on many beaches of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, as well as in rock quarries from Traverse City to Alpena. The honeycomb patterned stone has a harness from 4 to 5 and is the offical Michigan State Stone.”

“A stoned Ptoskey? Is that the same as a stoned Lebowski?”

“Remember kids, always use a condom or you might catch hexagonaria.”

“very interesting”

“I sent the package out today. You should have it before Christmas. Happy holidays!”

“lmao, lyra! no sweat if it doesn't. i was in the same dilemma with carlette... really sweatin' it out. :)”

“Twiggy.....I sent your ornament today, so you should receive it by Wednesday or Thursday!!!”

“also known as the brown eye stone”

“Gemini...LMAO!!! Ohhhh lordy, those ornaments are priceless! I just got them. You are SUCH a nut...I'm so glad you got picked to give to me! I'm going to take a pic of them tonight, you guys will just have to wait 'til then to see them...
:-D”

“yeahh!! I knew you would love them. :)”

“I do, I dooooo! The ornament you got is really pretty, I've never seen anything like that before.

Thanks, Jimmy san...I'm still holding out hope it'll get there in time. :-)”

“Timber Baron - The cup is on the way as High Priority or something like that. They said it would be there in three days! I sort of doubt it. I went to Mapquest and searched. They questioned, "Where the hell did you find an address like this? You'll probably need a horse to get to it from Minong." In place of a map they gave me an aerial photograph of the general area and said, "You find it and Good Luck!"”

“Chappy, expect your package by Thursday!

I love the cowboy - I'll post a picture this evening! He's way cool!”

“Thanks NS, I'll put some nog in it, hoist a toast to you and send you a picture.”

“dhutch1 Glad you liked the hiking Santa, I thought it was quite appropriate. The fudge from Dan's is amazing isn't it??? I'll look for my pkg Thursday. Sometimes there is a problem with the P.O. Box. National security and all... ; ) I would have a mailbox; but first snow the plow takes it out every year, so I fianlly gave up.”

“The hard part was finding a Petoskey stone in the shape of a Christmas tree......I must have walked 300 miles of beachfront property.....


Glad you like it G! We knew you would!”

“lol, right now it's still the only ornament on my tree. I can't make up my mind what to do with the tree this year.

Lyra, post the pictures of the ornments, I really would love to see how the final result looks like [i haven't seen the 'changed' ornaments yet]”

“Non, did your ornament arrive yet?”

“That Petosky stoned Christmas tree is very cool...what is impressive is the size...I've found a lot of Petosky stones in my life but never one large enough to make a Christmas tree out of...kewl beans....”

“Sassafras - No way can I extend enough "Thank you's" for such a wonderful package. Smoky Bear is a wonderful and thoughtful Christmas Tree ornament. I would have responded sooner, but it took me a while to eat about 72 delicious, home-made cookies and candies that you enclosed in the package. Your card and notes were delightful and I'll be trying the "Biofreeze" on my knees soon. You've made this a great Christmas for me. Merry Christmas to you and your family.”

“Hey, Mt. Steve, I received the ornament and package of goodies yesterday. :-) Very cute Santa!! (although from the package I was concerned it was gonna be a "reclining Buddha"... and, I mean, I didn't figure I needed an ornamental representation of Buddha Bear reclining on my Christmas tree!! ick!!! LOL!)

I'll get a photo up in the next couple days. Thank you so very much. :-)

And... what a good time to send me stuff on rock and mountain climbing! >8-O hehehe

“tree anything yet?”

“Thanks Nowslimmer. I'm glad you liked it. =)”

“Santa's "ornaments" are on the tree, Gem! And I put pics of the ones you sent me on the TT Christmas Tree.
:-)”

“Finally got my (well, at least some of them) picture uploaded! Here's my rnamets from OM:

The nativity is tera cota and the Santa is a gourd hand carved in Peru.”

“And here are Birch's tent stake ornaments from Creek Dancer:

”

“Hey shortstep...you out there?”

“Glad ya like it. That particular ornament is becoming my "standard" I think. My wife swears it's the same one I sent out last year.”

“I rec'vd my ornaments from Ewker a few days ago. I love them. One is a bear making a snow angel. The other is a lab wearing a santa suit. Made me cry!!”

“Hey mtnsteve, shortstep is on the move - she's just moving a little slowly - had a couple of technical difficulties, but its on the way.

Nimblefoot - I received the package! thanks a bunch!”

“oh sass, I love the round santa. Reminds me of those russian whatchama call dolls.”

“Treebait,

My wife just called and said your package had arrived. I now just have to explain the wrapping paper.

Thanks”

“It's not wrapping paper, it's the box! Anyways, that was the only box style left that was close to the right size!”
