Not very Secret Santa

December 25th, 2006 by Sarah

Not only did my Secret Santa this year create a unique and personal gift (which we all LOVED), they also arranged for Christmas Day delivery!!!

To anyone who knows all the participants in the blogring secret santa, it won’t exactly be a big secret who this came from, so I don’t feel at all bad in thanking Merry publically.

What might not be that obvious to the average reader of this blog is that this is no ordinary wintery scene with our family in it - oh no, it’s all Animal Crossing themed - the Nintendo game that I (and Merry!) have been addicted to all year long - so a very fitting tribute ;) The details are fabulous (right down to Steve being on the phone in the background), the floor, the snow, the flowers - everything!

Just love it. Thank you again :)

    Well Merry commented that she was glad you liked thoughtful, home-made presents I predicted a fimo family portrait. All I missed was the nintendo theme.

  2. Merry Says:

    And frankly Chris, you really SHOULD have guessed that!!!!

  3. Sarah Says:

    Well I had got as far as the fimo family too, but hadn’t guessed the theme either - and it was those acww touches that made it for me :)

    Oh how adorable! And I got the theme ;)

    I love gifts that have a very personal meaning both to the giver and the receiver. :: Gently sobs happy tears :: :’D

    Hello Sarah.
    Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year.
    I’m going round adding links to mine. Is it OK to add you too?
    I get that AC is Animal Crossing…. what is WW though?
    I don’t do games, I know nothing!!!

  10. Sarah Says:

    Animal Crossing Wild World - which is the DS version rather than the original gamecube one. And yes of course it’s fine to add links :)

    ‘DS version rather than the original gamecube one.’? Whoosh!!! Did you see that go whizzing over my head?!
    I’m off to add a link! ‘Cos that I *can* do!
