Actually, my little brother had to do a secret santa thing for school. On the last day (since he forgot all the other days except for one), he gave the person a stocking with candy. It looked a bit empty, so I made him give the person a nice orange and an apple. The orange goes back to St. Nick. He gave people money, so the orange represents gold/money. I think people do this in Holland...or somewhere. Ribbon candy...is that stuff any good? It looks like little pieces of not to be eaten plastic.
My hoard:
-a chance to hang out with my cousins and sister, all of us together for once. (Yay!)
-Chicago DVD (watched it twice already)
-Large selection of make-up (purple eye-shadow is fun!)
-hoodie cardigan
-moneymoneymoney (spent on an imported magazine and a cheapy copy of Grim Fandango)
-chocolate and microwave popcorn (my Dad didn't realize these were Christmas presents, though, and told me about them in advance. Whoopsy!)
-a Thing 2 doll (my sister got Thing 1)
Good stuff.
