Hey, I have been meaning to do a lot more than I have. The following is a list of things meant to be done this year but have miserably failed:
1. Christmas cards. A shout out to those who actually got their shit in gear and got the cards out. Props go far to Mariko for sending hers the earliest. It also helps that I only raked in a scant 6 or so addresses, and was going to scout out theother dozen or so friend cards and another dozen or so family cards. So... I have your cards, they're just at my place.
2. Along with said cards were going to be Christmas party invitations. Really cool ones with instructions and possibly pirate themed. As you can see that I got left at the design phase. I can poop out a mailout in about 4 hours, but here, we are, more than 4 hours later, and no invitations.
3. Plan a hand-made gift exchange. I suppose there is still time to do that, but I'm thinking the gifts might be a little on the scrimpy side with such short notice.
4. Bake cookies! Again, while there might be time, there are other pending issues needing to be done (like actually acquiring Christmas gifts and wrapping them in time). Maybe I'll make New Year's cookies.
Instead, I beat Zelda: Twilight Princess and set up my tree. I made handmade ornaments for it to make sure it wasn't sparsely decorated (even after making a bunch of ornaments, it was still naked, so I bought some extras).
BUT NOW! I am ready and prepared to announce a Christmas party that has yet to be officially announced. A few weeks back I sent out a "it's coming this night" email to a bunch of you, and to wait for further instructions (Which were going to be in the mail, but... number one thing of things I didn't do). But I still love you all, even if I've been socially hibernating (sometimes unintentionally).
In conclusion: Come to my party on Saturday. Bring your egg nogs, your rum, your hot toddies, your friends, your plus-ones, your parents (if they've got nothing better to do), something to drink, a snack to share if you can (veggies, dips, chips, crackers & cheese, etc.), and last but not least: yourselves. Also: gift wrapped empty boxes so my tree looks way less humiliating are being accepted. I also have no problem with people exchanging gifts among each other and if there is enough of a interest, I can set aside a time when that will happen.
Core group, I ask that you give me a solid RSVPASAP as it'll give me a mini-gift head count.

Alright, here's my RSVP:
Provided I do not come down with viral laryngitis again, I will be at your party.
Because, as it turned out, I couldn't even CALL Meeko and tell her why I wasn't going to make it to hers, and I'm a total dork who forgot to e-mail her and let her know.
But your timing is perfect since I work until 8 that night, So I'll just swing by after.
E-mail with your address?
I'll be there, doing my very best Tiny Tim impression. (The kid from Dickens I mean, not the ukelele player.)
Eva:
Emailed!
Scott:
No ukulele?
Alex:
No problem. I've been way slack with the social end of my life for the past 8+ months... I'm feeling a little blue about it, but having people around this weekend should do the trick.
I'ma there. Most likely with some dessert...possibly in costume with Scott to form the "tiny tim duo"...I play didge. Can someone hold my didge for me?
You know, Mike, it seems like you can manage to make an innocent comment sound so very dirty.
No, I will not hold your didge.
I can re-use my halloween costume and show up as a sadly grown-up ralphie...
I'll be going stag. can someone recommend the easiest transit route there from holdom skytrain station?
I'm in. Can I bring a badly decomposed baby elephant?
I want my baby elephant alive, dammit.
I'ma commin'
aye be wantin' to wish ya scaggs yule tide greetin's and a plundering new yearrrrrh.
Yes. I 'will' be dressed up as pirate santa.
Everyone who has RSVP'd has a gifty waiting for them!
I've got one present left for the next caller!
Can I have two?
I'm RSVP'ing! Sorry it's a little late, but me & Kat have been kinda preoccupied. I'll explain when we get there. I have another party to go to and a possible emergency to attend to, but I will definitely show up for a little bit.
Ok!
