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

Attn: One Two Three

Your scatterbrained elf is back online! It’s cold up here and the reindeer tanks were frozen this morning. Brrrr! I’ve been brainstorming ideas for fun gifts to send your way. Do you have a favorite color (or barn colors)? Does Maxwell need anything for the stable?

BTW, my brother lives about 10 miles from you. Maybe you know him? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey, Calhoun!

Got the PM. Your shopping is 70% done already!

What sort of treats do you and the horse enjoy?

Oh ChocoMare!

What size may you be in a custom T?

Teeehee:lol:

Excuse me, cuse…

Tho I’ve been quiet so far
I’ve been quite busy!
Running here and there–
Nearly made myself dizzy!

I’ve been shopping already!
A custom item’s on the way
Just for your stocking
That should make your day!

So let your mind run wild
And get all excited
Because I truly believe
You’ll be very delighted!

Oh, To the MAX…

A special elf just for you
Has a quick question or two.
What do you like? What do you need?
Something special for your trusty steed?

Answer those questions I sent your way
So I can start shopping right away!
I hope this surprise makes you grin
And lifts your spirits from toes to chin!

Squee!! An elf of my very own, and a rhyming one at that! I’m so delighted I read the poem out loud to Mr. Cuse, who is very confused by this whole thing :smiley:

Oh hi Elf!!! I do have a favorite barn color! Navy blue! I have a very simple request for my dear Maxwell. Anything to benefit his feet, including a refill of the lovely purple thrushbuster would be a wonderous gift! We struggle with typical foot ailments that the moist Florida weather provides us. We drink Keratex products for breakfast (okay maybe not) and bathe our feet in thrushbuster (that’s not far fetched!) but really, anything will make me and my steed happy! We’re just so happy to have an elf!

I don’t know any elves here in Florida, unless your brother is not one! :lol::lol::smiley:

Unfforgettable!!!

Your elf has been hard at work. Shopping is 80% done!

Still one question remains, though. Do your ponies have any treat flavor preferences?

Oh Callista, I’m glad that you’re here.
I’m assigned to bring you some cheer!
Needed help from Mod1
to start email fun
But I got it, so have no fear!

I have questions, because I’m your elf
so tell me more about yourself!
what about your steeds?
what about your needs?
What would you like on a shelf? (OK, rhyming with elf and self isn’t easy).

Ho Ho Ho!

Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! My very own ELF!
Are you east or are you west?
What area do you prefer best?:wink:
My “steeds” :lol: are Priscilla, a bay, smart, bratty TB, Jolie, a sweet, but piggy chestnut OTTB, Miss Priss’ mother, (when I got her from a woman who got her from New Holland, she “may or may not be pregnant”), Jay, a bay gelding, and Jasper, a difficult 7 year old chestnut OTTB.
Barn colors are black, burgundy, and cream. Barn name is “Walnut Lane”…All of a sudden, one day, the GIRLS decided they don’t like mint anymore.:frowning:
Hmmm…needs?..(after sorting through horsey things yesterday, 4 huge bins, a stand up cabinet, two tack trunks, and deciding I need two MORE large bins?..Hmmm…lol I like “fun stuff”:slight_smile: I spend my money on necessities, grain, shavings, pitch forks, lessons, so…I suppose “fun things”…As an EXAMPLE fuzzy socks, nice key chain, fun ear net, sparkly dressage brow band…winning lotto tickets! :lol: I was supposed to go to Equine Affaire this weekend, but my parents have been sick and they asked me to cancel…That’s where I usually see the “latest and greatest”.

Ooohhh!!! I can’t sleep- thought of more! I like things that are local, you know, from the North Pole…(or…if PERHAPS, you don’t REALLY live there…then from wherever you may be from):slight_smile: Here we have Salens hot dogs, sponge candy, Niagara Falls (they have postcards;).

I am just so excited to have my VERY OWN ELF!!! :slight_smile: I’ll be happy with whatever!! :slight_smile: Thank you in advance lil elf!!! :slight_smile:

cuse, I’m having fun!

Some Christmas cheer for your day :slight_smile:

Dashing through the 'net,
On my new tablet keyboard,
Not all I’ve hit just yet,
But my spirits have just soared!

Mouse clicks…tick, tick, tick,
That make me laugh with glee!
What fun it is to search and click
While shopping for you (and me)!

Jingle clicks, jingle clicks, jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to browse and buy all the livelong day!

J-Lu, J-Lu, how are you dear?
How is it almost the end of the year?!

You were so helpful in your description,
I don’t have any questions, not even a mention!

I don’t want you feeling left out,
So here’s a rhyme; don’t pout!

This is terrible, I’ll stop while I’m ahead,
Looks like I should have stayed in bed!

Before I go, tell me this,
Would Fior love something of his?

Or is he all set, so maybe I should
Focus my attention on things from Home Goods?

Let me know if you have any wishes,
Otherwise you might end up with gold fishes!

Wow, ok I’m really done this time. Yikes. :lol:

Anyone seen To the MAX?

Call her attention to the Secret Santa thread, please…I’m waiting (not-so-patiently) for her…LOL!

Santa Claus wants to get to work!

Oh Cowgirl Dressage!

Never fear, your secret Elf is here!

Although I’m a bit late to say hello, I’ve been a good little elf and have already pulled a few things for you from Santa’s shelf.

My goal for you this glorious season is to make you smile as I do a whole lot of pleasin.

So, while I have your list and I’ve checked it twice, is there anything in particular that would make this holiday extra special nice?

Eventerchick517

Ho Ho Ho, Eventerchick517!

I like to shop and I cannot lie,
you other elves can’t deny,
that when you get your SS assignment
your feet hit the pavement
and your checkbook gets sprung
you want to stop but your having too much fun!

That’s as far as my mad rapping skills will take me…

I have so many ideas for you and my shopping cart has been full!

PS…purple is my favorite color too! :smiley:

Oh, thank you, dear elf! This brought some much-needed cheer on a blustery day in the Midwest. I’m thrilled I got a poetic elf who likes online shopping as much as I do :smiley:
