Tru- I'd love to have dinner with you and abonda tonight. Another elf just gave me a huge box of hot chocolate mix so I'll be sure to bring that with me! And then, Santa had another idea for me to make so it very well could be an all nighter!

I've been hiding in Santa's handicraft workshop its just down the road a bit from the snow cone shop. When you get a chance you'll have to stop on by. Santa has awesome supplies to make goodies with! Tons of beads and fabric and wood. Its nice and warm in here too! I'll share some space if you'd like to join in!

What workshop???????????? Are you at the Pole and hiding too?????? Read the above comment, we are having a quilting bee........you are more then welcome to come.

BRING FABRIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or batting we are runnning low and I don't know when Santa expects another shipment. Is it wrong that we are taking stuff from Santas workshop/warehouse to make a pressie for him???????

NO.... I'm at the Annex Workshop... His main workshop is strictly for toys for good boys and girls.. I'm at his annex workshop for good gals and gents :D.... Different department...

Oh then you are about 20 minutes away, as the crow flies. Do you wanta come??????????? You know how to ride bare back don't you?????????? I will send Prancer to get you. It is mating season and that Prance will do anything to get a little tail so if I send him for you he will be busy for at least an hour. Let me know so I can make the arrangments.

Patty lots of people wear sandles in the Pole, that's what we call it up here. Since there is so much ice and snow all the sidewalks have heat blowers on the side and heat coils under the pavement through the entire village. That is easier to maintain and cost less then snow and ice removal. Some times it gets down right HOT walking back and forth from building to building. Didn't you see the pic of Santas helper on page 56? He is wearing shorts didn't you wonder why???????? Now you know!!!!!!!!


IT IS NOT HOOEY!!!!!!!!!! You are just jealous because you are not one of the elite and invited by Santa to live at the Pole for a few weeks out of the year. SO,SO just go fry up some frog legs and have yourself some lunch!!!!!!!!!!

Now now Peachy ... what did that poor frog do to you that you would wish that fate on him ...

Remember to be calm ... Santa's Watching YOU (he's everywhere)

One of Patty's cats will kill it anyway so why waste food?????

Jennifer22206 10-23-2010 07:41 AM

I'm in the building next to the annex. Its about 10 steps away from leota. Ive seen her around but shes awfully secretive!

I am sending Prancer to get Leota so you can just hitch a ride with her. Prance is so big 2 of you can fit on him. Maybe you could find out what Leota has been so secretive about. gggggggeeeeeeeeeeeee I wonder!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still here Peach! I will also have an echo on Tuesday. After they are finished with that I will get the results to both tests. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate them using sandpaper on my skin-it's very itchy.

Now, just so you all know-Santa hired me to stay in a secret observation annex at the Pole. From there I can see who's being naughty or nice!Although, I should say everyone has been very nice the last couple days, although a couple people continue to tiptoe the line.

I was worried about you your the same age as my kids.

I see the observation deck from where I am. Wait I will run outside with my BRIGHT purple hat on and wave let me know if you see me!!!!!!

OOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPP I forgot to ask do you want to come to the quilting bee tonight??????????? Prancer will be going in the other direction so I have no one to send for you can you make it here on your own???????? It is getting here today, tomorrow some one could take you back to the Inn. Thats close to the deck so I assume that is where you are staying.

adoba is in the Igloo
you are at the Inn
leota and jennifer are at the Lodge
I am by the snowcone sign renting a room from a nice Swiss family. OOOOOHHHHHHHH I feel like I am in the Alpes.

I think we are all accounted for. has anyone seen anyone else????????

magnolia 10-23-2010 09:10 AM

I appreciate your concern Peach! It means a lot.

I DO see you! And, I would love to come to the quilting bee tonight. I will bring some peppermint cocoa to share.I'm pretty sure I can find it ok I will just follow your bright hat!

I hope some of the others tell us where they are hiding so they can join in the fun.

For you who don't know where it is just look for the Snow cone sign. If you can't find it just stop by my Igloo and I'll show you. Oh do you want to see where I'm staying????? I just love it here. Santa is so good to all of us!!

Jennifer22206 10-23-2010 11:14 AM

Yep leota and I are at the lodge having a blast in the workshop. My side is a total mess with different threads and fabrics and other goodies. Leota is much cleaner than me

trupeach1 10-23-2010 12:34 PM

Some person who will remain nameless has comment on anther thread that I am not nice.......I think that is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! What she wrote was jibberish, if people aren't following this thread they will not know what she is talking about and may think I am a mean nasty person which basically she said, and not in a joking manner............I JUST NEEDED TO VENT...........but she is wrong. I think this thread should be like Vegas what happens here stays here and should not be put all over the entire board.

cbridges22 10-23-2010 01:05 PM

I didn't think Mrs.Clause needed a new quilt.All she has to do is look at abonda's elf friend and I am sure her temp will rise at least 15 degrees.My sure would!

WHAT, haven't seen the thread but the board is NO PLACE to be doing such things; is't that called gossip. Very bad. If someone has a problem with another person on the board and can not work it out between themselves they should be taking up the issue with the moderator/benefactor.
Peachy you are not a mean nasty person, naughty maybe.......yes naughty, but you are still loved. Dar

cbridges22 10-23-2010 01:11 PM

Oh my gosh,Littleone has gone all mushey!She must be feeling bad about all the stuff she told Santa about Peachy.

MISHNJIM 10-23-2010 01:20 PM

You gals are so funny. I haven't read all the posts about this North Pole thing, but I'm jealous!!

I just got back from shopping and got my SS her gift. I'm so excited!! I just love doing these Swaps. I actually had to break it to my DH that I joined this one, he was fine with it....PHEW!!

This will be so much fun on Dec 12th..YAY!!!

lab fairy 10-23-2010 01:29 PM

I'm new to this Santa Swap but reading you all is so fun. I think Santa's workshop is filled with a bunch of wild elves. Who spiked the eggnog, fess up?

cbridges22 10-23-2010 01:35 PM

A picture is worth a thousand words,Peachy. See I have Santas ear,I am the blond on the right,so what was it you were saying about sending me multiple bolts of special made North Pole batiks for my stash?

IMPOSTERs!!!!!!!!!PHONYs!!!!!!!!! those gals could't even sew a button on their shirt if they tried.
I'll have you all know that Santa and I have been busy up here with the logistics of the incoming toys from all the field workshops that NY has been putting out. Have received two huge shipments, in the past 24 hours. However understand there is a quilting bee on this evening, checked the work log and can't find where time off was approved. Those elves in NY are going to have to work triple time to makeup for their goofing off.

cbridges22 10-23-2010 01:55 PM

All work and no play makes for a dull Elf,besides I was not invited to the quilting bee so Santa and I decided to hang out and watch the snow fly.We are also going to be doing some flight training with the Reindeer.Now if while we are out of the barn you would like to come tidy up ,you know shovel,fluff hay ect that would be great!

Tink's Mom 10-23-2010 02:33 PM

I'm BAAAACCCK! Just came back from a trip to see my BFF...and lots of shopping! Got something for my Secret Santa Person...but it's a secret ;-)
Tink knows, and she is now guarding the presents from some of the board members up at the North Pole....see Avatar :!:

You're not with Santa look at your location, it says Oregon. You are fibbing that puts you on the naughty list!!!!!!!

grandme26 10-23-2010 03:05 PM

I will be receiving an early Santa gift. On Nov. 1st I will get a brand new left hip!!!!!!! Am shopping for my secret santa pal and will mail it next Friday. But who ever I mail it to remember this-----you cannot open it until the arranged date.

koko 10-23-2010 03:16 PM

I'm over at the sweet shop hanging out now. After you get done at the quilting b you all can come over and visit - the treats should sweeten everyone right up!!

Do they still have that yummmmooooooo hot fudge?????? I would like a hot fudge sundae with vanilla ice cream REAL whipped cream not that canned stuff and no nuts or cherry. I am allergic to nuts and the red dye they use on the cherries.
Why aren't you coming to the bee????? I made a list of where everyone is staying but don't have you on it. You're at the lodge aren't you????? Or did you decide to stay with the Polish family after all? I understand they have wonderful meals that they serve their houseguests. Babka for breakfast and keilbasa with homemade black bread for lunch. I think next year I will stay with them. Not that I don't like the Swiss family I am with this year but I don't understand a word they are saying to me. They have such heavy accents. But they are sweet people and have treated me very well.
OH JIMINY..........................The girls are fighting over the quilt pattern I better go. We will be down to the sweet shoppe when we take a break. This will be an all nighter why don't you come back with us. We could really use the help.

Now will you PLEASE take your meds the doc gave you????? You are not at the Pole with the rest of us, you just think you are. You are really in Oregon, do you remember Oregon that is where it says your location is. Look over to the right of your screen and at your avatar, see it say Oregon, honey you are not at the Pole.

trupeach1 10-23-2010 03:45 PM

Dashing through the snow
In a 1 horse open sleigh

I'm still thinking you are all delusional...just what did you spike that eggnog with Peachy????....Maybe it was frog toes. I dunno....Since you are hallucinating all these places, you must think that Santa doesn't care that you are taking valuable time (very valueable this time of year) from his elves and helpers...then you admitted to stealing supplies from a workshop! Geesh!!! Do you really think this will help you get on the NICE list???? No way....sorry.....

Are you trying to trick us by having Tink pose as Santa? Where is Tink's beard, it might be a little more believable if she had one.

What, so now you are trying to drag me into the fray of delusional, stoned, trippin' naughty girls???? Or are you just trying to talk me into going up on the roof to wait for this jet and then letting me fall off and hurt myself?? Now, that would be just mean, oh and exceptionally naughty!

They have it all here...caramel, Sundae's best hot fudge from Saratoga, fresh strawberries, m&m's - we'll all need to visit the sweat (exercise) shop however after the sweet shoppe visit if we want to stay in shape.

I'm staying with the Polish family and fit right in!!
