    I guess if you just had a breakup for a good reason (cheating, bad person, falling out of love, whatever) you can look on the brighter side of things....you're not wasting any more time and/or money on them.

    Now you can spend that money on Santee.

    Hard to tell. Gifting knows no bounds, apparently.

    Ok, I'm also officially in. I'll be a little more cost effective this year, but that means I'll be stretching my creative muscles harder. I can't wait!

    I don't know if I'm going to get any more anniversary badges. I'm just "old" and "ancient" now. :(

    Regardless, you definitely did the right thing signing up for this. It's the only right choice when it comes to secret santa! (except under extreme circumstances)

    I'm sure no one here would be upset to get thoughtful handmade gifts. I mean who wouldn't want a cross stitch of Halo and beef jerky wrapped in an American flag?

    monsters. that's who.

    Wait, just to clarify here...
    Are we talking about a cross stitch depicting Halo and beef jerky wrapped in a flag? Or is it a cross stitch depicting Halo and beef jerky then the cross stitch itself is wrapped in an American flag?
    Perhaps a cross stitch depicting Halo, that is wrapped with beef jerky in an American flag?

    Edit: This post was originally intended as a joke, but after some thought, I want to say that if my Santa is particularly arts and crafts oriented, I think a HALO themed cross stitch piece (or any video game really, though I'm partial to SNES era fantasy JRPGs) would be an awesome thing to put up on the wall.

    Edit edit: You can't really go wrong with salty meat snacks either.

    Me.

    Unless it's a console/handheld/new graphics card/new PC then it's getting sent back where it came from.

    Keep that in mind Santa. Go BIG or go home.

    We're talking hundreds if not thousands. Actually I could do with a new car too.

    Hmmm, I'm going to be making apple butter soon. I don't have the rig for traditional canning so I freezer can. If Santee is close enough I could mail dry ice and apple butter. I think it's legal to send dry ice in in the mail.

    Some 3D Doritios and a Wonderball would be an awesome snack.

    Also can I get a ride to Blockbuster to use my gift card?

    Absolutely. I wait until December.

    I feel for you. I personally find Michael Buble to a cheap imitation of the great vocalists of the 40s and 50s.
