Secret Santa 2015 - Share your stories & Thank your elf!

Paging Calhoun!

What colors do you like? You gave me some good ideas, but I need a clue how they should look. Standard solids? Flaming neon pink? Leopard print? I’m a color conservative elf myself but know that many people like to live on the wilder side.

Gift #1 is in the bag. :slight_smile:

Dang, I’m a flipping idiot and I typed in the email address wrong. :cry:

Santa has been very busy Mouse&Bay ! The presents are arriving and being ordered ! So much fun so quickly!

Talkofthetown~
I hope your day went swell,
Or is it too early to tell?
Those dogs of thee,
What size may they be?
Extra large?, or extra small?
We love them all!
Some cats like mice,
Others think twice,
What do they think is nice?

Oh Elf, dear Elf! A rainy Sunday afternoon poem was just what I needed!

The petting zoo consists of:

1 Old, Cranky blue heeler (ACD) named Hank (50lbs ish)
1 short, squat, wiggly American Bulldog named Shelby (65lbs ish)
They both love bones, antlers, things that takes longer than 2 seconds to destroy;)
3 cats of varying personalities and tastes. Only 1 will occasionally play with a little ball with a bell inside. They are all fat kids at heart and love treats. And cat nip.

Aaaaand…as of tomorrow morning… it will include 1 Thoroughbred mare! She is large and in charge, bay, sweet, and comes with a terrible name that will soon be updated!

Congratulations on your horse,
Sounds like it’s meant to be of course,
Those tips should make it easier,
So shopping should be breezier!
Hope she gets a pretty name,
One that she’ll be proud to claim :slight_smile:

Oh WingedPanda!

I’m not much of a rhymester, unfortunately, so you’ll have to put up with my teasing in prose.

Your description leaves things wide open in terms of gifts, and I already have some ideas. I do have a question: I love to find unique or vintage items on eBay, but I know some people prefer not to have used items. What is your stance on this?

Also, I’m trying to figure out how I can send something that might explode through the postal system. This post probably just got flagged by the FBI as a potential mail bomb! Hopefully I won’t get locked up before I send your goodies!

Love,

Panda’s Winged Elf

O Mychestnutvalentine,
your gifts have begun to come in!
How exciting! how fun!
Such a fun time this has been!

Accio, I am your Elf :smiley:

Calling Dancer on Ice!

Your elf is here! but rhymes only on a good day. If you have any other gift requests, let me know as I am beginning to shop!

I have not heard from my elf yet, which is totally okay, but if you are reading this something has changed (slightly!).

We found a house and put applications in. So if the stars align, we could actually be in our own house by Christmas! :smiley:

I will update if things fall apart.

Oh, Unfforgettable! Your elf is here!

This elf struggles with rhyming, but I’m here to tease anyway.

I already have a few ideas, but I’m left with a few questions. Are you a coffee/tea drinker? Do your ponies have a preferred treat flavor? What about your dogs?

Is there anything in particular that you want but didn’t mention?

Oh fourbeats, yoo hoo!
I am so excited to meet you.
I’m your notsosecret elf and I’m a fan!
I am working my magic as fast as I can.

So sit back, relax and enjoy,
This is my first year posting with an alter and it brings me great joy.
What do you want, what do you need?
I’ll be watching intently and I will pay heed![/QUOTE]

Oh Notsosecretelf! What a wonderful poem, I’m giggling like a school girl. I’m easy, something to spoil my horses is fine with me. They love peppermint (well actually just about anything as long as it’s edible,lol). I also love anything horse related, like pictures, calendars, note cards.

I’m so excited!

AppendixQHLover, you have a PM! Your elf is on duty and looking for more helpful ideas!

IndyEquestrian, I am so excited to get to be your elf! I have quite a few good ideas :slight_smile: I hope you’re excited too. If you see this… I’d love to know what colors you like! Also let me know if there’s anything else you want that you didn’t mention in the email. The shopping is beginning!!

Ooh, an ELF!!

Any and all things that are interesting things are good in my book!

Oh LadyNeon01, yoohoo!!

I am, by now, your gifts collecting
But what they are, you won’t be suspecting!
Suffice it to say, you’ll be rather happy,
For I assure you they shall not be crappy!!

:smiley:

-Your Elf

Ooh, I have a rhyming elf! How wonderful!

Not to brag or tease :wink: but I just found you the coolest giftie! This, plus another goodie on its way from Santa’s factory, plus a couple more stocking stuffers and your package will be ready to hit the sleigh! Of course, while waiting to mail it, I can always tuck in any other neat things I come across…

Caroling Elf , sent you a PM.
