I tripped over some Christmas decorations in the post office this morning and thought it was a bit early.

Very bah humbuggy of me. I'm thinking here of the line in "About a Boy" where the main character is wandering through a supermarket and Christmas music starts playing and he says: "November, the sodding 19th"...and he laments the fact that gearing up for xmas starts earlier every year. Having said that, getting pressies for people is always fun so why not.

I'll be counted out. After the shabby reception I got last year for the gift I sent, after having to repost my gift because my recipient gave me the wrong address in the first place, I have a sour taste in my mouth.

There was no reason to dredge up old grudges.

I'm a bit on shaky ground financially, but I would love to be involved. I just won't be able to afford the post overseas so I'll have to request to be kept in the North American pool only.

Sorry friends across the pond.

Evidently, seeing as that was the year before.

I loves me some Christmas. Count me in!

I groaned aloud when I walked into Lowe's yesterday and saw the Christmas stuff out and ready. Earlier than usual. But the first Christmas tree place opened like a week ago. I think they are gearing up for Xmas 2011 this year.

That rant aside...sign me up this year. Things have improved greatly this year and I'm feeling uncharacteristically jolly.

No. you're right. It was poor form.

Really? Oh well, the last couple of years have been a bit of a blur for me. It is true that I was bitterly disappointed at the time though. One of my most depressing gift giving experiences.

I'll still pass though. I've decided it's too expensive to participate.

...because you refused to stick to the expenditure guidelines. They were there for a reason but you had to find out for yourself. You made your own bed, now lie in it. And hush now, because it's after lights-out, and the grown-ups want to talk.

Tulip · 10-09-2010, 09:27 PM

Wow, we've got nine interested so far. Let's wait a bit to see how much more interested and see who'd be willing to organize it.
