I’m in it for the getting stuff from a stranger. Nothing gross like fake dog doo (or real) but otherwise? The wierder the better. If it’s xxx, though, some indication would be nice, so I’ll know to open it at home and not in front of the folks, grands, etc. ---

PEZ Lots and lots of PEZ also, x-rated is OK. Wait, what if you combined the two. An X-rated PEZ dispenser! ::Flips the plastic nutsack back “Candy anyone?”:: ---

Dear Secret Santa… I’ve been a good girl, honest! All year, too! I didn’t make any of my students suffer (too much…) I’m a _sucker_ for stuffed animals (among other things, I collect llamas) 😃 Yeah, I’m weird. And I’ll chime in with the others - NO fruitcake! I’m allergic to a wide variety of and peanuts! Elly ---

X-rated is of course fine with me, even encouraged. However, this doesn’t used sex toys from ebay are ok. Any kind of weird, warped, sick, or twisted toy to put on my monitor at work to remind me of you weirdos is good. As far as more “normal” stuff goes[ul] [li]Candles[/li][li]Ornaments for my tiny tree[/li][li]Any kind of holiday decoration[/li][li]Coffee mug would be great (though I do not drink coffee).[/li][li]A wall or desk calendar.[/li]Chocolate is always good. Lindt Essence (Extra Dark) is my absolute favorite, but any kind would be most appreciated.[/ul] ---

I would really like any of the following: A poster or print of a painting. Some sort of decorative thing I can hang on my wall. Uh, no floral stuff or posters of bands, please. A couple of picture frames, made for 5 x 7 photographs. ---

Dear Santa, I have been very good this year. I like turtles and the Sanrio character Pochacco. I also like Lilith Fair-type music and rainbows. Presents that involve one of them would be great. JRT ---

Dear Secret Santa, I have been very good, especially when I was being bad. I know I would love anything you send me. Everyone in this house is over 21 now, so anything goes here, G to xxx. But please Santa, no candy. My butt is too big now, as I’m sure you noticed when I last sat on your lap a couple of years ago. BTW I hope that thing that swelled up when I was sitting there got better. 😉 Your fiend er, I mean friend Ayesha ---

G rated, please. I likes cats, dragons, trees. No bugses, calendars, or fruitcakes. But, other than that, I’m easy. 😃 Oh, and I’d really, really, really, _really_ like a job. ---

Please, no knick-knacks. I hate dusting. I adore unusual earrings. Big ones. Oh, and ear cuffs and toe rings. I also like really big t-shirts with purty pictures, but those exceed the $$ limit ---

Dear Secret Santa, How are you? I am fine. For Christmas this year, all I want is something fun and useful. I don’t find dashboard hula-hula girls to be all that useful. That’s mainly because I don’t have a car. If you need a hint, I think day-to-day calendars are groovy. Word of the day would be smashing. If it’s in English, that is. I don’t have much use for a Dutch day-to-day calendar. If Rue is my Secret Santa, I want some Dog Eye Booger stuff. You know what I mean. Thank you. Soda ---

Hmmm…let’s see. I like candles of all kinds, especially vanilla or cinnamon scented for the holidays. My newest favorite hobby is scrapbooking so any kind of supplies for that would be good. I like funky socks. I collect all different types of things with sun, moon, and stars on it. ---

I’m happy to be getting mail, but if anyone wants a hint: It needs to be G-rated. I’m nuts about Dachshunds. I like to read. I’m into scrapbooking. Chocolate is one of those things that proves that God really does love us. But anything is fine! ---

Well, getting any package is almost worth it in and of itself, but if something has to be inside, I would enjoy a small plush [cthulu.](http://www.trollandtoad.com/products/category.php?cid=667&Jumper.x=9&Jumper.y=12) Ummm…I would be happy to receive any Tick related paraphernalia (comics, toys, etc…) Or you could just completly suprise me (but keep it R rated or less, please.) If you’re feeling _real_ generous, you can pay my college tuition for me 😃 ---
