xmas invite

By the time this post appears it should already be December so how about a virtual xmas party for all nooksters ?

What would you wear and what gift would you give to your fellow nooskters ? (I don’t mind abstract suggestions but lets keep it friendly and leave out things like “a sense of humour” !).

Here’s a start:

A  handful of chicken necks for Shadow and a pair of clip on antlers for his master.

    Some of you may believe that I am not in the habit of giving gifts. This is not true, albeit some of my gifts may have been ill-received !

    So, my virtual presents:

    For Fossil - a Toyota Prius.

    For Bill - an original Vulgate Bible. “Audiens sapiens sapientior erit et intellegens gubernacula possidebit”.

    For marywalsh - a copy of Journal of Resistance, by Mikis Theodorakis. “Art — this art which is ours — is our strength, our trump card. Our oppressors have chains. We have songs.”

    For mercy (and dave) - a weekend (or week) at the destination of their choice. (Not to be confused with the bogus raffle prize “ A dinner for two to be taken anywhere in the world” which turned out to be two 24 hour army ration packs!). And, if dave permits, a bottle green silk chemise.

    For The Shadow - a large T-bone, with steak attached. And an all expenses paid trip to somewhere inside the Arctic Circle to meet his distant relations.

    For his Master - a softness of voice and a softening of attitude. And, of course, the aforementioned trip. The Shadow will need a valet.

    For Winnierose - canvas, lots of canvas; plus any amount of artist’s requisites.

    For Lady Chaos – a black Jaguar (car or cat, whichever is preferable).

    For Vivavoce - a brake on her emotions, an automatic avatar generator, and I guess some gold would be welcome too.

    For tours1 – an unlimited advertising budget. He obviously enjoys his work, and his country, so much.

    For Golden1 – an organ. (I’m afraid I can’t be more organic than that).

    And for anyone I may have missed - a bottle of Penfolds Grange to imbibe or invest as they wish.

    Naturally, I would prefer nothing in return; my own tastes being somewhat, er, peculiar.

    Seasons Greetings to everyone, if there is a Nook grinch I would rather it was not myself.
