AET Secret Santa 2007 - PREZZIE RECEIVED thread

eMMI

I too finally opened my pressie!! (surprised meself for waiting so long anyway.)

and I love it!!! thanks a million miss M!

I got an interesting looking card game. can't wait to play it with my bro this weekend.
I'm convinced that the game cannot be boring, for mainly two reasons:
1) it's called Halli Galli - I reckon nothing named that can be un-fun.
2) it's got a wee bell (the kind you might find in hotel reception desks) you get to ring.

also I got 2 "Mozartkugeln" (sweets, for all you non-Austrians. hehe.) couldn't resist eating the other. delicious!

and something very special! two self-baked personal Pearl Jam "Lebkuchen" (hope I got that word right..)!!! I mean, baked goods, fantastic!!!

the smell was soooo delicious I couldn't resist first taking a small bite and then eating "PJ".. the other one was the surfboard logo. pic not working at the mo.
(and no worries, it tasted great!)

and also SS thanks for the sweet note. your handwriting is beautiful.

once again THAAAAAANNNKKKK YYOOOOOUUUU!!!!!

I came home from work to a FEDEX parcel always a good thing

So thank you Ridin the Wave! ... I'm going to be like V V and try and wait until christmas to open them ... but I promise I'll post as soon as I can after they are opened.

Plus they look so pretty it almost seems a shame to open them ... now I've seen the wrapping I'm even more excited to find out what's inside.

Thank you again for going to soooooooo much trouble.

i DO really look forward to opening my gift when i get it. tis one of the few 'surprises' i have for the holidays!

I broke down and opened mine!! What a great and thoughtful gift!! A book from Berlin. A photo series about the "city language" of the area (I like how they put it, people working away at their art in public) or graffiti. What a perfect present! Thanks Andres..It will sit out on my table so everyone that comes by for the holiday will ask about it. Thanks for paying the shipping which I imagine was an issue, and the personal note always makes things special. Great postcard too. It will find a home on the fridge.
Merry Christmas!
Secret Santa was sooo fun this year, glad I did it. It sounds like we all got paired up pretty well. Good job HH. Thanks for all the extra work you put in.

Brown sauce is food of the gods ... I never use ketchup ... but marmite ... for our friends over the pond they advertise it as you'll either love it or hate it ... I'm with redrock in the hate it catagory.

EDIT: in fact http://www.marmite.com/

i used to love brown sauce... not had it in ages.. not had the sauce either for a while.

but Marmite is one of the most evil things in the world.. who had the idea of condensing vaginal thrush and putting it onto a jar for people to eat? the same people who make clothes out of hemp and think dolphins can talk to them.. thats who!!!

now Haggis... thats a food
