I found the perfect gift online, but they don’t offer gift wrap. So somebody is getting an unwrapped gift. ---

Got in the mix a tad late, but here’s my Secret Santa List: Anything odd. I’ve got a set of book cases in my house where I stick odd things. It includes, among other things, a crafted glass egg timer that doesn’t actually time eggs so much as look cool, a dried fish head, several dozen toys from various happy meals, the logo from the front of a Mercury Cougar, a bunch of Lego creations, etc. I’ll take it, even if you wouldn’t display it in your home. I’m kinda odd. Thanks Santa! ---
