MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE....

I cannot believe the time has come to actually open the gifts. I hope you all had a great time in the exchange..

For those of you still waiting ....it's because of Canada Post ....(and partner's mailing LATE!)...your gift should be there shortly. As far as my records show...everyone should be receiving a gift.

Thanks to everyone for all your help and kind words....and laughter....
Happy holidays.

Termie you did an AWESOME job on this project and I can't get over how much effort you put into this! Thank you soooo much.

To all my fishie friends I hope you all have a great Xmas and enjoy your gifts from the exchange. I will be on the road travelling tomorrow while you are all opening gifts but I'll be thinking of ya!

1 more sleep!

12 and a half hours left.........but who's counting?

Thanks Termit, it's the first time I participated. It's been a lot of fun not knowing what is in that parcel. It brings all the memories of the wonderful Christmases when I truly didn't know what was under the tree!

Ohhh I can't wait until tomorrow. I have a habit of waking up at 4:30 am I will probably open it then!..it will truly be like a real Christmas! You know..getting up waaaay to early!

Heheheh hmmmm If I wanted to be really silly I could open mine at one minute after midnight - but my partners ould still have to wait an hour.... heheheh....

Knowing me though I will fall alseep at 11:50 tonight trying to stay awake...

Well I think I have an advantage! In my own time zone it will be the 18th here first!

Termit, you rock!!!

I am so happy that I participated in this years Christmas exchange!!

To all the wonderful fishes in the bowl, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!!

Yes Termit, you have done an amazing job!
Not to mention that you also keep tabs on the coupon train too!!

So we open it Saturday right?

Are we allowed to open them in accordance to the earliest time zone? B/c that is only fair that everyone should have the opportunity to open at the same time should they want to...

Just wondering...
and I guess a little jealous since I'm the furthest west out of everyone...unless someone lives on Vancouver Island.

(I live on UBC Campus, and actually am about...200m away from THE West Coast... ha ha ha...*sigh*)

Happy holidays everyone and thanks for the kind words.

Hip, hip hooray for Termit!!!

I am on the northern tip of Vancouver Island in Port Hardy! My gift is still sitting here UNOPENED and probably the first time I've ever followed the rules and NOT opened it early! hee hee

Tee Hee I grabbed my gift out from under the tree at exactly 12:00 so here we go.........

Oh Cid!! You have a beautiful family!! Thanks for the picture!!

OMG!! Personalized beautiful ornaments for my whole family, they are soooo cute.

The sweetest little silver with stars tealight holder with vanilla tealights, yummy!!!!!!!

really neat Pot Pourri flower petals that will make my personal linen drawer smell wonderful.

Naturals Vannila shower gel. I'm going to be sooo hungry with all this yummy vanilla. LOL

And I've got the goodies here too to satisfy that!!! oooohh and some samples I've never seen!!

And 2 cool activity books for my little monkies. I'm going to close the little goodies and decorations and books back up in the box so the boys can get into it in the morning!! And I'm off to have early morning bath with my Vanilla bath gel and vanilla tea lights in my sweet new holder!!!!!!!!

I love it all Cid!! Thank you so much!!

Off topic but my Boyfriend & I were in Port Hardy about five years ago! We went across Canada by train & we took the ferry down from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy & we stayed overnight it's a really beautiful place!
