He came!!! So many packages! It was like Christmas and so exciting. My SS's wish is my command!

I have a package sitting at home from Sephora too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Of course, I can't open it until I get home tonight, which will be late, since I'm playing a round of Risk with my friends.. Nerd alert B)

Um, If it were me, I'd die of happiness.

I think this is a beautiful idea! You have a lucky girl!

  Seems like that movie has that effect on women. My mom cried when she watched it and I got it for her as one of her Christmas gifts. The hubby ended up getting me a really nice gift set for this movie and I still cry every time I watch it.
Yeah, I can't stand the Notebook.  I know this makes me a pariah but I just don't get it.

YESSS I also listen to Christmas music year round.  Kinda geeky like that I guess.

Love Actually is one of my favorite movies!

It is my absolute fave movie of all time! It doesn't get enough love!

I'm going to make custom notebooks for her. And by custom I mean, I bought standard mini notebooks and I'm going to add quotes on the front of each one.

The notebooks are SOOOOO cute, I am jealous of your girl!

I'm also in the Germany club.  Quite possibly my favorite place I've ever lived.

Those are so cute!!!! I lol'd at the clear alcohol bahahaha

Have I mentioned the surprising demographic that most avidly embraces _Love, Actually_? Thirtysomething guys. This first came to my attention last year when every guy on every HORROR movie podcast I was listening to just went on and on and *on* about how it was their favorite Christmas movie. And then it started showing up on the comics (as in comic books) podcasts, too. And I was at a con in September and happened to mention this to a group of thirtysomething guys, and every single one of them started raving about it as well. So if you're looking for a holiday movie that guys consistently like that does not involve Bob Clark, Bruce Willis or Chevy Chase, there you go.

I got a Sephora order today too!  It had mostly things for my SS.  Then I went to the mail and bought more stuff for my SS...any myself.  My boyfriend is seriously starting to think I have a problem

Remember, "never get involved in a land war in Asia - and never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line! AHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHA! AHAHA...."

*THUD*

I'm so excited to go shopping for my secret santa! I feel kind of creepy though since I've been stalking her posts and I wrote down all the information I have about her in a notebook. I've been taking notes on ideas and highlighting things and now it looks more like a plan of attack than a shopping list. Lol. I really hope there's some good black friday deals so that I can pick up tons of goodies for her. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

lol..I totally did this too! Since I can't seem to keep up with the thread, I've been "MUT stalking" her posts and keeping notes to help me shop for her.

My husband is a 30something guy and he likes Loves Actually, and Elf.  I love Holiday Inn, he doesn't like that one so much.

If only I could find a 30 something year old guy to watch it with :/

Oh my, same. I got a Sephora box today. My boyfriend instantly started in, "why do you get so many packages?!" "why do you need more makeup?!". I then told him it was for my secret santa, "WHY DO YOU HAVE A SECRET SANTA?! WHY. WHO IS IT. DO I KNOW THEM. WHY DON'T I KNOW THEM. THAT'S DUMB ". Boys... they just don't understand. I'm jealous of the ladies on here who have men that are helping them shop!

That would be my other favorite movie

My husband listens to my various secret Santa musings and is very encouraging when I second guess myself. He likes Love Actually too. I think one reason it is so appealing is that it's a romantic comedy that is actually FUNNY instead of just sort of silly. All of you are so inspiring! I hope that I end up finding something nice at the craft show this weekend. I have a box set aside for each of my ss es and I am putting things in randomly. Am I the only person who wished more people had put in photos from secret Santa last year? It seemed like a lot of people had a hard time finding out if their ladies even got theirs. I hope this year goes really well for us all. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
