I miss the sign up every year! Too bad! Although I have not been very active in the past year so I guess it is my fault really... Have fun everyone!

Treats in cans or containers would be best... maybe he cant open those.

Dear Santee:
*does the I bought you something dance*
Ohhh, or maybe your SS could get you a super cute canister to put said treats in!!!??? Just thoughts!! Maybe I am your SS too, or you are mine!!!

Never fear, Santee, it's not harmed! And it has been moved to higher ground, away from prying paws! I just hope my Santee doesn't mind a gift that has been touched by a cat!

Speaking of that issue.... Kitters almost FAVORITE pressie she got from SS one year, was a very more than used little toy that a certain little Oscar slipped into the box without his mommy knowing.
Kitters loved Oscar drool that I had to sneak it away from her to mail his favorite pressie back to him!

We've all had those times.. You sure will be missed in SS this year.

OMG, me too..I have picked up only three things so far! Eeeek!

Do we know when the Christmas delivery cutoffs are yet mods?

*giggle* I haven't picked up anything quite yet. But I kind of have to wait until pay day anyway, which won't be until the end of this month.

Hope my santee doesn't mind waiting!

I haven't really started yet either so don't feel bad. I have a few things but I refuse to shop for Christmas until after Halloween!. I have a mental list though and didn pick up a few things from that. God help me come Nov, 1st. Oh, and I got a couple more ideas since my Santee posted on here.....hehe.

Your Santee posts on here? Hmm, interesting....


So far, my Santee's gift has been touched by a cat
, banished to the top shelf of the closet, squished down into a box on top of another gift, (the large prepaid boxes from the postal service aren't very large at all) and still faces more abuse as I try to fit the other presents in with it. I'm not finished buying, but I am going to try to keep flat stuff in mind for the rest of the gifts. I don't want Santee's gift to be completely destroyed by the time it gets there!

I just got my boxes yesterday and you are totally right about the "large" boxes. I sure hope everything fits

Dear Santa....
I feel really really really bad about this.... but I am craving chocolate.... and like a true chocoholic.... I just needed to remind you of my terrible addiction....
Also, while I stepped away from the computer, Hope (yes, the kitty, she is pretty brilliant, you know
) found this awesome toy:
http://www.crazypetshop.com/store/p/280-Cat-Quest.aspx
She said if you find it in a corner on your toy factory.... it would be so awesome... but if not.... it is super duper ok too! I swear, it is not my fault - the kid demanded me to type this message to you Santa... What could I do?
Dear Santa we all like surprise gifts, we just though this was super cool whe we saw it today... Anyways..... back to work you go.... hope it is not too cold in the North Pole!
Sincerely,
Meowmy and Hope

Dear Secret Santee....last night while I was out running errands, I happened to pick up a ___________________ for you


My puppy Hagan stuck his head in the bag to investigate, and he says that he approves

Wow, it got the Hagan seal of approval!


The annual gem and mineral show is this weekend and I got a little trinket for my recipient.
