FAKE CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!

Alright Barber clan, Thanksgiving is nearly here! In a little over a week folks will start arriving, cleaning will cease (we hope), panic will subside, Chinese food will be cooked, merriment will be had by all, and after the turkey is devoured and the carols are sung, the Barber tradition of Christmas tree buying will be enjoyed once more.

On Saturday or Sunday, the first Fake Christmas will take its place. I'm very excited and hope you are, too!

RULES:

Spending restrictions:
Stay around $25
Everyone please fill out a Santa's letter for the year in comment form at the end of this blog. List at least 3 items to give Santa ideas. After the election and economy woes, the price of "World Peace" has really gone up, so it is no longer an acceptable item due to our spending restrictions. Sorry.

THE EXCHANGE:

Here's how the drawing went (the first name is you, the second is who you drew):
Zach: Garrett
Andrea: Logan
Patrick: Mr. T
Logan: Andrea
Mr. T: Zach
Jillian: Nicole
Garrett: Patrick
Nicole: Jillian

OK....Merry pre-Christmas! And don't forget to fill out your Santa letters!

Hey guys. Make sure to post your Christmas lists for each other or at least call with lists or you might end up with gifts to re-gift. Ooops. -Mom

Jill, I left you a voicemail about a job you might be interested in if you're still looking! Holla at me on my blog or call me to let me know! (It's an accounting-type job)

Dear Santa,

Here is my Santa list for Christmas:

The Brass Verdict (Michael Connelly)
7th Heaven (J. Patterson)
Drums of Autumn (Gaboddon) (light blue one)

Also, I like the lime verbena candle at Bath & body works AND the Lime Verbena scented oil.

For more ideas, give me a call!

Dear Santa,

This Christmas I would like:

Exercise stuff: hand weights, resistance bands, cool work out pants/shorts/shirts

The book "eat this not that"

That's all I can think of right now.
