awe man those boxes are pricier than the ornaments! ;-; LOl! I just went buy two and didnt get anything good ;-;

Noooo but you can get them from melody for 2k every 10 mins!

It's inspired me to do this for someone next year ^_^

nods I agree. Even though I've only been here for like 2 weeks xD

I slept like crap last night xD Which is just perfect too because I'll be studying for finals all day today. yay ~

ahhh okay. I'll have to get to that sometime today. I'll be studying for finals mostly but I always seem to procrastinate and find something else to do :p

Haha, that's a great story. You've gotta love how unfiltered old people can get. I'm crossing my fingers for you. Sounds like you'd fit right in there :)

I'm surprised that some of my favourite items on here are dirt cheap. I love finding hidden treasures that don't cost an arm and a leg :)

I'm also aiming for around 8500 items. Hard to believe we're supposed to have 6500 more left to get :O

Morning everyone :) Trees are looking great and loaded with presents :) Have you all started your gift giving?

Got a cold today, bleh, so I'm home sick.

In the process as we speak!! I wanted to fill a few trees before I go off to study I'm sorry you have a cold hands you a warm tea

..... I just was finishing up my responses and I erased them. WHY JUST WHY

Know the feels =n= Body is mean and it holds grudges for any stupid thing I do. XP Hope you are feeling better this morning ^-^

Thanks for the raffle/giveaway pings :D

Morning! How are you doing this morning?

Ok that combo sucks. I hope you can get a better night sleep tonight as a reward for working so hard studying?

Nuuuuu I'm sorry you're not feeling well D: I hope you have embraced being a blanket burrito to keep nice and warm. :P

Good thought, I should go make some tea with lemon and honey :) Yesterday my throat hurt like crazy, but today it's not so bad. I'm loaded up with some sinus meds so everything is less intense.

I'm going to start buying gifts today and crossing people off my list. nod nod (She says until she sees something shiny and is distracted :/)

I do have a big (giant) fuzzy white blanket which I will be using for that purpose, for sure. And making that tea as Tulip suggested ;) All the sick stereotypes, heh. How are you today?

Lol, definitely a good break XD How many exams do you have? :o

Ikr? Thank got there are some of those otherwise we'd need even more CW O_o

We'll get there eventually, since they keep releasing new items XD

Aw, I'm sorry about your cold. Get better soon :*

Sorta, I've just been giving cheaper items for funsies XD I need to get everyone a proper present though... The problem is when I browse through Wls I find new stuff that I want XD

Hate it when that happens ;_; You're very welcome :D

Good point, all the event items definitely add up :D

What are you up to today?

Yeah :o Thankfully XD There are a ton of older items we still don't have obviously, but sometimes they're a) not interesting b) sooooo expensive O_o

Well, I'm halfway through jane eyre :o And I'm debating whether or not to get gold for a week. And I'm filling in parts of an application :)

You?

Exactly. Some older items, I don't get how the prices got so out of whack, because they are very uninteresting.

1. Jane Eyre was definitely the best of the Bronte sister's books. (Hated Wuthering Heights :P And Anne's books are a snooze.)
2. Now's a good time for gold ;) Everyone's buying Christmas presents, so everything expensive is flying out of my shop.
3. What are you applying for?

At home sick with a cold, so not as cheerful, but hey I can just hang around on subeta all day and finish up (or start, heh) my Lumi shopping!

I didn't know that ;-;

Yeah. I guess they inflate just because... They're older? I don't even know XD

Mh, I've tried reading it before, but never got to the end. I don't know why though it's riveting XD Urgh, I couldn't get through wuthering heights O_o It is definitely a lot harder than jane eyre. But I never tried the third sister's books :o

I will defer to your wise opinion bows

I'm applying for a phd in oxford!

Aw :( You should watch some christmas movies and have tea (or hot chocolate yum) to cheer yourself up. Or do lumi shopping that works too XD

Sorry, I should have mentioned where I was getting them from D:

It's okay I'm actually not that tired so I'll get a lot done today!

Oh and peppermint tea! That always helps me too c: I always get distracted by shiny things...

4 D: And two of them are cummunlative headdesk So... why am I on here and not studying? ^_^'

I don't think I've ever had peppermint tea :o

What does that mean if they're cummulative?

GO GO GO STUDY!!!

And then come back and chat with us 0:)

Another note from the wonderful anon!!!! They're so sweet and thank you very much!! I wish I could shower you in gifts too!

[Quote] Now, my little elf, we switch into high gear Below's a little message Will you post it on , my dear?

Hallo to you in The Treehouse Happy Holidays to all! Now to scurry like a mouse The trumpets of the season do call.

Beneath each little tree A present wrapped just for you MY favorite thing is gifting but secretly like I do!

As you know I've chosen Tulip for this special year I'm greatly amazed by this group who keep each other in cheer.

In just a week I've seen you be there for each other That's the true gift we have to give There truly is no other.

So "Thank You" is what I say to all Up in the great Treehouse I'm sneaking on the edge of the wall Quiet as a mouse. You are a group like no other and this I know is true Seven years that I've been here You've something special, you do! When you find my name out No gifts you need to send for my greatest joy will be to be welcome among you as a friend [/quote]

Try it try it! Honey and lemon is best for your throat when it's sore but I also find peppermint to be soothing c: Oh and cummulative just means it has everything I've learned from that entire semester on the exam, instead of just the last couple of chapters we've gone over. Yeah I'll be popping in and out all day! I rewrite my notes so my hand gets all crampy and I need breaks xD

SOO COOOOL. I'm glad you've joined the group too :)

Ah, peppermint tea. That reminds me I need to get to starbucks and second cup. I love all the holiday themed lattes (peppermint, gingerbread, creme brulee) yum. Too bad I won't be able to taste them today :p

Wow, that's a very impressive rhyme they came up with! :) They seem to be quite creative in addition to being super gift-y ;)

How are you today?

I finished gifting 3 friends, but it's quite extensive work, sifting through all the wishlists, heh. taking a break

I was the same with Wuthering Heights. I tried to read it because it's supposed to be so amazing, but the text was just so dense, and the characters utterly unlikable. No one to root for = depressing read.

Ooh, oxford eh? That's big time. I'll cross my fingers for you.

Christmas movies! That's a good idea :) I've been huddled up in my blanket watching the eps of Criminal Minds my DVR recorded. Quite the opposite of cheerful heh.

That's such a great poem aha. Sending luffs to anon! <3

I need to find some first :o I don't think I've ever seen any before.

Oooo I see. All of our final exams are like that where I was :o Ah yeah, I find rewriting helps me too. Wishing you luck and your hand rest!

Nice work :o

Yeah. I mean, at least Jane is lovely :o You can totally root for her! That character who talks really bad and she writes it the way he talks was too much for me O_o

Yeah :o I have doubts that I'll get in (I interview badly) but I should at least get an interview I think D: Thanks luff <3

LOL But relaxing nonetheless XD I've never tried Criminal minds. Is it good?

Me too, you guys are seriously so sweet and fantastic.

Pretty awesome, getting really excited for holidays, real and virtual. This is my favorite holiday time. How are you?

Definitely try Criminal Minds, its awesome.
