Hair elastics of bobby pins would be fine with me. Don't really wear other ones

[dlee]

Jez are you counting number of photos of completed wrapped packages?

[dlee]

Oh! Are you counting the number of a specific christmas icon? Like frosty the snowman, Rudolph, etc.

[julesie-pie]

counting the word - ouch?

[juliejolie]

Counting number of pet photos?

I have an idea for a Wow gift, but it would definitely work better/be more useful towards the beginning of the month, which would then really make the 25th gift seem anti climatic.

Would you be ok with this if you were my buddy?

It wouldn't bother me I'm sure I will be thrilled with anything my buddy picks out regardless of order

buddy question : do you or your child eat pop tarts ?

My oldest DD loves them

buddy..if i missed these answers PLEASE forgive me..
Do you have a passport??
also
Do you wear earrings?? or do you like accessories etc for hair ?

Yes I have a passport. I don't have pierced ears, so no earrings. I love big claw clips, elastics and hairbands for my hair. I don't really wear anything else.

does anyone watch Breaking Amish?

[MrsSunshine]

yes. just started today. interesting show.

[Jezebel]

That is a great question! I would think that it would seem kind of unfair to younger children to give one child a gift one day and not the other. I was thinking of having at least 25 gifts, but not having 25 days to open. Have some days with one package for them to open together (eg arts & crafts supplies), and other days with a gift for each individual to open. Maybe 13 days of Christmas, but spread out? (On the weekends and then everyday once holidays begin? I'm thinking: 1st, 2nd, 7th, 8th, 9th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th ) as there would likely be gifts that would be best to open at the beginning of the month...
Also, would you give say a box of Crayons as a gift for one day, or put together an arts & crafts package with a bunch of different things in it and bundle a few days into one?
I would be very interested to hear other people's thoughts on this, as I want to do what I can, but do not want to violate any train rules...

you are not required to send 50 gifts for your child buddy and yes you can seperate say crayons from a seperate gift ...you can even open a gift and spread it over a few days or give it to both kids as 2 gifts...like last year I bought a bag that had markers and coloring sheets...I bought a second box of crayons and then opened the bag and wrapped up 1/2 the coloring sheets/crayons and the other 1/2 of the coloring sheets and a box of crayons for the second child or I bought a 4 pk of deign cutting scissors and opened them and wrapped 1/2 for each kid.....the same goes for adult prezzies if the gift has multiple pieces you can split it into a few days

Hmm...I wanted to say "Santa emoticons" but if it's not an emoticon....then hmmm not sure, will have to think of something else...

No to pop tarts.
I have a passport.
I don't wear earrings.
I only wear hair ties/elastics in my hair

nope

Okay I am counting something again
Prize is a $5 gift card ........what am I counting.....????

HINT...it has only be posted twice since last contest....hope to see more....
Hint: it is small

are you counting how many times you have posted pics of Zoey??

nope

I have an idea for a Wow gift, but it would definitely work better/be more useful towards the beginning of the month, which would then really make the 25th gift seem anti climatic.

Would you be ok with this if you were my buddy?

I'm ok with whatever my buddy wants

I am happy with whatever I reciieve in any order !!

Buddy you don't have to stress about any part of my package, I will be thrilled with every little thing you put in the box and whatever order you put it in. There is not one thing you could add or do that would disappoint me so please don't add any stress to your holiday season on my account Same goes for my son, he is so excited at the thought of getting mail I don't think there is anything that could possibly disappoint him.

I like cookies and cream an hot chocolate/marshmallow pop tarts ..mmmmm

you guys are too sweet. nice to know i'd be missed.. guess i'll stick around..


and NO im not sending my buddy on a vacation. LOL

what about the conductor ???

all guesses have been wrong although interesting !!

first hint...it is small
second hint...only posted once although it was quoted by multiple ppl
third hint .....it has happened to ..... many ppl on the train (off to check how many )

[juliejolie]

does anyone watch Breaking Amish?

Yep, I read its all fake and that they've been part of the English for years now... The girl with fake teeth & Abe who supposedly get together on the show have a baby together already so they've known each other outside of the show... Jeremiah already had a tattoo, etc...

[Momto2Ks]

Counting how many babies are born???

[missbee217]

I have a question for those of us that have children on the train...
I know that the WL I submitted for my children has specific items on it, and the WL for my little buddies does also.
If my buddy does not get certain things for my children, I will be buying it; I am presuming they would do the same as there are some RLF items.
Should we send mom a pic or an itemized list come mail date of what our little buddies will be receiving so that we can shop for our own children accordingly?

[juliejolie]

Counting how many people decorated their Xmas trees? *scratches head*
