(Discussion) Secret Santa 2013 is coming soon!

[tweakabell]

LOL. Same here.  I have spent whole days planning and buying for my SS but have no idea what I'm getting for any family members.  They're not as fun to shop for!

I have a giant closet full of gifts that I grab during the year so I'm not as behind as I feel.

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

Just bought some extra goodies for my SS! I feel I might be going overboard with extras!

  I will definitely go over the budget since most of my shopping will be done in Euros. I am wondering if my person would like a German Christmas ornament and if  they are  open to try German brands.
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.

Welcome to the club!

 What part of Germany did you live in?

My Sephora order was supposed to come today and it DIDNT. Got an update from UPS at like 5 PM that said the delivery date was changed to 11/21 by the end of the day. 

 I just want my SS gifts!

I love all these excessive mail stories! My ups guy brings my packages to my office (a couple blocks from my apartment) if I'm not home. Now that's good customer service!
Wow definitely great service!

Aww, so happy for him (and you!) that you rescued him. My favorite thing about dachshunds is how they have absolutely no idea that they are actually quite small. They have such big barks too! We actually have three and they have scared many a pizza delivery man almost off our porch with the commotion. That is, until we open the door and they see the three of them, not a one over a foot tall!

Momma to a long haired doxie too! She's my baby. Seriously Molly brings me so much love & joy! I've seriously considered just having dogs the rest of my life instead of having kids


Adorable!

And unless I've just missed it, no one has mentioned only the best Christmas movie ever.... Christmas Vacation!! "The shitter was full!!"

Or the second best Christmas movie... A Christmas Story!
Yes! A Christmas Story is my favorite!  It's not really Christmas if I don't watch it.

That's the hubbys favorite so we watch it every year. We have a list of movies that we watch every year for the holidays.

Aww laying there so pretty! they do look a lot alike! So cute! I like the red too but they're all so damn cute! But long haired are the best for sure ! Is yours a mini or a standard?
She's kind of an inbetweenie. She's about 15lbs. So definitely not standard but a little bigger than a true mini. Her mama was a mini but she was a hussy. She was supposed to be bred with a particular male but they came home and found her in another male's pen. She can't be registered cause we couldn't get Maury Povich to tell us who the daddy is.

That would be an awesome episode!

All these doxie pictures are awesome! I don't have one myself, buuuut my family on my mom's side is SUPER into them. Between all the relatives they probably have like twelve of them, and every summer they have a doxie themed party. Couldn't make that up if I tried! They have the dogs race across the yard (hilarious with their tiny legs!) and they always do a raffle for doxie-themed prizes... It's ridiculous in the best way 

 

ETA pictures, because why not?

Spoiler

Some of the contestants /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This is Duke. He's my favorite and I laugh uncontrollably when I look at this picture, because he has this crazy smile on his face! He's SUPER old and the vet has told them for the last 5 years that he's going to die soon...but he doesn't. He's a tough old guy! 



Lining them up....



  I totally have video of this, but this is the dogs racing haha
