Pressie report for Cllr to bring to Champagne Carole:

Box Number two herafter referred to as the Holdiay Cheer Box has left the building and been handed off to an Pirate, Peg-leg Pierce (not an elf) to place into the postal system.

Nothing in it is wrapped...it's all for immediate consumption in reasonable amounts. When you get it, put on a pot of water and have a tea-party! Invite the neighbors! I was careful this time to only put my street address on the box - no name.

I did however put in a another photo of me near the area where the 2 bags of chocolate covered somethings were popularised. Now, I am not FROM that area, but I once roomed with somebody who was and their Dad always brought us these chocolate covered things as a treat when he visited. So..they aren't MY regional sweet but they are A regional sweet. Does that count as meeting Carole's request for regional Sweets?

The other 2 boxes of sweet things within the Holiday Cheer Box ARE pretty popular where I live and are usually dunked into some type of silly overwrought coffee beverage. Me, I prefer my tea, but then again, am not FROM where I now reside. Where I live, everyone drinks trendy coffee concotions and yet, nnone of them have probably ever had a proper cup of coffee in their silly little lives. Where I reside now, people also spend small fortunes on silly brand-named bottles of water...all of which is indistiguishable from tap-water but perhaps paying $4 a liter makes them feel superior and priviliged.

Do you and Champage Carole have a dog? A cat? Santa wouldn't want to leave th critters out in the cold with no Presssies of their very own! No, he/she would certianly not!

Since Cllr encouraged me with that tiny little hint..I'll be checking in all weekend for more requests. Santa wants to hear..what do you think Champagne Carole would like?

The more you post, the more I'll send.
