Have you prepared or purchased a gift for someone and you can't wait to see them open it? If so, what is it?

[Denise]

Yes, I just prepared a gift for my secret sister, and tomorrow evening after Sabbath, we are having the Christmas Party at our house and reveal secret sisters! Can't wait till she opens it!!

Since I do Avon, she loves vanilla, so I got her an angel vanilla holiday soap, vanilla naturals shower gel & lotion, vanilla bubble bath snowman decanter,natural vanilla lip balm, 2006 angel magnet calendar, and an angel lamp. Whew!!

Typing, and looking at everyone's responses and laughing at some of them, specially Amelia's response to bananna & ? pizza, can't remember, but her response was funny with those little funny ugggg faces!

V If you send out Christmas cards to anyone, do you write the same message inside all of the cards, or does each addressee get a different, personalized message?

v Do you think fish (in tanks) are interesting pets?

[cricket]

^ Fish in tanks most certainly are intersting pets! I have two betta fish. They are most interesting when their tanks are in a tangential position. Their sole desire is to fight, but it ends up being mere puffery!
