TT Christmas ornament exchange

“Slice up the rum fruitcakes with a band saw and use the pieces for firestarter.”

“RichB, you have mail
thank you so much. you made me smile and brought back fond memories of hiking with my daughter. nice!!”

“You're welcome, I'm glad you liked the ornament and that it made you smile too.”

“I be done. I'll UPS the package from work Monday. Gee, this is fun! I had a great time rounding everything up.”

“WooHoo!!! I will be getting some mail this week. Yippy! Thanks for the box gojo :) And thanks in advance for the ornament, Ruby!”

“Thanks Rev, I'll be on the look out for it.”

“You people are crazy! Fruitcake is food of the Gods! And it's excellent calorie to weight ratio makes it ideal backpacking snackage.

"Honeybunches, I have had your ornament for a couple weeks but didn't have the right size box. Thanks to Gojo, I do now. Yours is going out in Monday's mail.”

Too funny. I was in the same boat until a package came from Dayhiker last week. =) Funny, a box can change hands between three, or four actually, TTers in a weeks time.

ENS, my goal is to get your ornament in the mail tomorrow.”

“Too bad I already mailed TIlt's ornament or I could have kept the box going... oh well, there's always next year. I will make sure I keep it around :)”

“I've still got the one you sent.... �(It's definitely a custom job, � � � < G >)

Birch's ornament is coming straight from the workshop, so I didn't need a box for that. �I can try to hang onto it 'til Christmas 2008.”

“Same with Chappy's. Birch ordered it tonight.”

“Hey Gojo, I sent ya another email. I gots a question.”

“MtnSteve, didn't you have my name last year? He sends a great package!”

“Hey Precision, I'm going to the PO this morning. Friday kinda fubared on me a bit, Saturday morning never happened and Sunday they're closed. I hope you like it!”

“Sassy, now ya got me all excited, of course it will come when I'm up in the Ouachita's, I'm sure, so my wife will get all the fun of opening it.....I'll just be stuck on a trail somewhere with ET and my hiking stick....such a problem to have...... :)”

“NGB and I found excellent ornaments, now to get them shipped.”

“Glad you like them. I looked for days and those were the best ones I found. It's getting harder and harder to find satisfying ornaments any more.”

“Pinkbubbles, yours will be in the mail today! I tried to find pink bubbles, but they eluded me at the World's Largest Christmas Store. LOL!”

“Okay Prec, it's on the way! Hope you like it!”

“Tilt, are you making fun of my packaging? I thought it was resourceful... I didn't have much for options!”

“Nooooooooo.... not at all!

I was admiring the complex curves! � � � < GRIN >”

“Wow! As I was writing a brief, my mailman knocks on the door, alerting me to a package that arrived. It was my ornament from the TT festivus (ie - Christmas) exchange from Carlette. What a nice break in the day!

The ornament is very cool - a moose in a tent roasting a marshmellow over a fire, with my name and "TT 2007" on the tent!

Thanks so much Carlette - I put it front and center on my tree!

Have a great holiday, and thanks again Joy for being the maestro again this year!”

“yo gremlin

“Buddha! WOW that was FAST! It just got put in the mail here Friday...vrroooomm USPS.

Glad you like it..Hope you have a great Christmas! and the rest of you all too.”

“Tilt, I got the cool toboggan today, very cool. Thanks a bunch and Merry Christmas to ya.”

“EnS, I met my goal. Two days my friend, two days.”

“I'm so sorry, I am with the program now and I will be sending my person an ornament. Sorry to have disappeared into the void for so long. Life is toooo busy. My husband decided not to follow his job to Texas but now he is looking for something else and meanwhile we are working tons of hours. But I will be emailing my person today.”

“I have JB2836! Is this a TTer who is 2,836 years old? Has hiked 2,836 miles? Lives 2,836 miles away from the equator? Has watched 2,836 hours of the Weather Channel? How do I find this person's email address, I must have missed the instructions to this shindig.”

“i told you she was busy, no old!”

“Sweetpea...got it..THANKS...”

“Mine and Chili's are boxed and ready to go. As soon as I get the address for his, I will mail them...hopefully tomorrow or Thursday!”

“Cool that was fast!”

“Hey Birch, I don't know how much info about the company was included with that, but it sounded like they really know what they're doing.

So if you're ever accidentally miniaturised in some sci-fi scenario, you can actually use that toboggan, � � < G >”

“Thanks for the imported ornament Nimble.

sweetpea-I did not include a card with your ornament, sorry. I feel kinda stupid.”

“Tilt, We've been to the town where it was made. Very cool place. The ornament is really cool. It just needs some wax and it'd be ready to go.”

“Honeybunches, Your package went out yesterday Priority Mail. You should get it tomorrow or the next day!”

“I checked out their website and those sleds & toboggans looked more like fine furniture.... or something you could hang on your wall as art ----

Mountain Boy Sledworks”

“Wax or Whacks?”

“Simmer down, Leslie.”

“Tree, you have mail.”

“Jimmy San, you have mail.”

“chili,

DHL left yours on your front porch about 45 minutes ago.”

“Gojo, your ornament is in the mail.

Enjoy.”

“Hey Wounded Knee thats cool. I didn't send a card with XL's ornament either, just a post it note that said Merry Christmas or something. lol. Don't feel stupid.”

“

Birch, your ornament arrived at the PO today....really, you shouldn't have.
P.S. Next year I would suggest something a bit smaller.
(this is what I found when I went to the PO today)....lol.”

“Mapleleaf, who is NO OLD?

As soon as I went back to work full time, my husband's job starting sending him on lots of business trips. So now I am working and taking care of the teenagers like a single parent. Very stressful. Hopefully things will settle down soon. My husband will maybe find another job and if not we will be poorer but I will have long "honey do" lists for my husband to do so things will be less stressful. For me at least. Hah! I will just have to hide his golf clubs. And motorcycle. Of course, then he will hide my camping equipment. This could be fun.”

“JB2836, you have an email! You need to send my an actual address so we can send a swat team ... uh.. ornament to your place of choice. But first you must fill out a 100 question survey about yourself for our secret TTer database complete with tent color, favorite hike location and aroma choice.”

“Arrrggg, I forgot a card Gojo.

Merry Christmas!”

“Dangit, I forgot to put a card in with my ornament too.”

“lol @ LyndyS and Chappy!

TILT! Another package came today. Did you do two?! This one was beat to hell by the post office. It came in a little plastic bag with an apology from the post master on it, lol. I wish Birch would get home so he can open it. I hate having unopened packages just laying around looking at me.
