IT'S BACK! Secret Santa 2: Rudolph Strikes Back

 Hey Mist,

 Mrs. Zip won't let me near it! Otherwise...........sure I would send it right over!!

I was right there with you Cardshark... (kinda sorta glad that nothing had come yet ,but at the same time anticipating) ...until I got home from work this evening and found a USPS bag in the kitchen.  Thanks for waiting a little while to send it Santa.

Ooo !   Looky there !  The guy in the post above me is from Tampa too !   hmmmmmm !

Now I gotta get the tree up so I have something to put over the present.

KEEP AWAY!
It's a cheat! Once freed it will fly and attack you with toating machine guns! 

My field of expertise is defusing suchdangerous packets. Send it over and I'll do it for you.

Max, I keep hearing similar sounds from the proximity of my package also.....I wonder if one of my Secret Santa's elves got caught up in the wrapping?  Or could it be the tiny aviators demanding release?  I haven't heard any sounds of excavation yet, but my cats seem TERRIBLY curious about it.....hopefully, they won't OPEN it......

I keep picking up my package and giving it a little shake... like I don't know what's inside.

hmmm.... sounds like WWII... French..no .... British... maybe Italian... I can't ever get those sounds correct...

Hey -Whoa! Brian, do not sprinkle the wrapping with catnip whatever you do

Well the weather here is cold, cold, cold. -20 degrees Celcius with a windchild around -30..  Balmy for us. HaHaHa.  Went to my oldest daughters in Moose Jaw to get a haircut and shave for two bits.

Upon returning home my wife opened the door and said What is this between the two doors?      Looked at the package and wow SS had shown up and dropped a .   It rattled, but didn't tick, a good sign. 

Sunday is tree raising and decorating.  This will probably be the first item to grace the tree.

Now the stress meter rises.  It came from ******* residing at ********.  Now hope that peaks your interest and your stress wondering what the *****means. 

Thank you SS.

Just think it's going to get colder tonight.  I can just hear the doorbell ring, and the snowman from the neighbours yard asking for a fur coat.

Jon, I can honestly say that since I have joined this forum and especially your kind invite to thie GB, I am having one of the best times in a long time.  My mood has become upbeat and I can see more humour and the bright side of life.  My wife and children haven't said anything, but I can tell by the atmosphere.  This is a Godsend to me.  Looking forward to a long modeling hobby (never really had a hobby before).  My youngest daughter said that I should have fun, enjoy this and don't expect top notch end results as it is a learning experience on the early models.

PaPA-John, we're glad you're enjoying this place as much as we do It is as fun and relaxing hobby as golf Boring hours of isolated bordom  then utter frustration

Ok, ok, kidding aside, we're all here to help each other with their experiences to edumacte edukate show each other how things can be done better. We find the history of what we choose to build just as interesting as the build itself. I guarantee on Christmas morning when you open that kit and post what it is, someone will be an expert about it and the markings in it. They will be willing to give you some great inspiration for building it. 

Having this place has done so much for so many, myself included. I have learned and now am able to give back. This site and it's members are a blessing in so many ways

Brother- you just made my day! This is what the GB is all about! It's not about the kits. It's about the friendship and supporting each other in this joyous Christmas-time!

Here's to many, many more Secret Santa Group Builds my friend! 

Started to continue with an aircraft I started quite awhile ago.  Broke out the glue:

Low and behold

There was rattling and quivering of paper

A muffled voice rang out, is that glue I smell

Pick me, pick me.  I'm trapped inside this SS wrapped package

I ran upstairs and the package had moved toward me

Oh, no attack of the wrapped spues

I calmed the package with a jolly, Your turn is coming, just 17 more sleeps

The package quivered and whined, You are teasing me, my spues are stressed, Oh the wait.

HaHaHa, I got the last laugh or did I!!

Santa came!  Santa came!  And boy are Rudolph and the guys whipped, they had to fly a really long time. 

Now, What Can It Be???

A little "on topic" project I'm working on...

I didn't notice till I looked at this post - He's a little on the skinny side.

Why does every day closer to Christmas seem to get longer and longer? I think I finally remember what it was like when I was a kid. Except now I have a little more self control over peeking. Now, if that voice would just stop!

knock knock knock..."hey! you out there! yeah, you! please let me out.....I'm so lonely and hungry....I don't even have the strength to break through this wrapping paper. I have 50 kids at home to feed......I'm begging you! please!"

*Grabs a can of gas to throw on the already blazing fire of suspense*

You ain't gonna believe what I did to my santa-ee's present
