All set!

We are now full but if you'd like to attend, we will add you to the wait list in case any spots open up.

Thanks,

LOL. For whatever reason your $ arrived before Cookie Monster's, so technically, you were 43rd.

The Christmas party is now complete now that Ernest Christmas has reserved!

I--and I imagine Mr. Wilde also--might politely downplay The Importance of Being Christmas at an LTH Holiday Party.

Earnestly ,

P.S. Public apologies to Ernest for the uninvited name-riffing.

I would like to be added to the waitlist for 2 people. I assume I should hold off on paying via Paypal until space is confirmed? Thanks!

Ok, will do. And yes, no reason to pay yet.

Thanks,

If you are on Facebook, you should be able to see this short video of our local neighborhood president volunteering at the Greater Chicago Food Depository... the beneficiary of our annual food drive. Check it out; it made me feel even better about this project, and I was already pretty excited to begin with!

Obama volunteers at the GCFD

Since there is now a wait list, if anyone finds that they cannot make it, we have 2 people (bluepig & guest), to whom tickets could presently be transferred.

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!

We now have 3 people on our wait list, so if you've purchased tickets and your plans have changed, there are folks who would probably like to buy your tickets. You can PM them directly or post on this thread. Please, just let us know if you're transferring tickets so we can properly maintain the guest list. And, it would be most considerate if the wait-listers were contacted in the order in which they're listed.

Oh drat.
I didn't logon here in a semblance of time to get the details of the LTH Holiday Party. [At home, I'm on v.92. All the heavy images posted here take minutes to download, so I tend to avoid logging on at home.]
Despite that I will again have to try sailing through Ron's paypal arrangement, I would prefer to go on the wait list.

You're on the wait list and there's no reason to even try to send $ until further notice.

Thanks,

bluepig-

I sent you a PM.

So pooped!
Just finished my 3rd (or 4th)
Marathon session of work
And this years creation is complete.
I am skeptical about whether it will arrive intact as I may have been overly ambitious...
We will see.
Done.

irisarbor wrote:And this years creation is complete.

Can't wait to see it! Any hints?

Well we’re going Thai so I’m calling it a
Royal Thai Bungalow;)

My payment to The GP is complete so we look forward to joining everyone on Thursday.

Since I am not at all confident this will arrive in 100% perfect condition,
I'd like you all to have the opportunity to see it that way.
Here is a small pic, plus the link to my FB Gingerbread album.
You do NOT need to log in or be a FB member to see these.
Enjoy and good luck.

Looks amazing Elaine!!

Wow, is the only thing I can say.

Fantastic, Elaine!

You knocked it out of the park again!

You may have outdone your self this time, Elaine.

I especially liked the 'making of' pictures you have on Facebook. Wouldn't have spotted the yin/yang pattern otherwise.

Thanks Giovanna, that's why I added those extra pix,
once everything was assembled, you really couldn't tell.

Just a quick reminder... if you can donate either some shelf-stable food items or a few dollars, every little bit will help one of our Chicago neighbors have a warmer holiday season. All donations will benefit the Greater Chicago Good Depository. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!

I donated this morning, FYI www.gcfd.org has a match going on so a gift of $50 becomes $100, $200 becomes $400, etc.

It looks like the double donation thing goes through Dec. 31, so tonight's donations will qualify as well!

Thanks for pointing this out!
