Great pictures, Joey! I have never had a churro but those look amazing!

When I typed that post I thought I would love to have a picture of someone hitting someone else to post with it, lol.

And we just hit 50 people!

And now in less than 24 hours we've passed last year's number of participants! Last year had 36. We're already at 38 for this year!

The girls do, too! They're all the time asking what Kristen is doing, etc. We'll have to let them Skype or something soon and we should be seeing you guys next year at some point!

Yeah mofos, MerryeffinChristmas! I'm in! This is Elissa's rule so don't break it! I have now gotten caught up on all the PMs I had this morning. Please make sure that if you post in this thread you also PM me your address. I think there may be at least one person in the thread who hasn't sent me their address. And please make sure you type your address accurately because I'm just copying and pasting from your message to my address list. If you type it wrong it's not my fault if your present doesn't get to you! Also, someone had mentioned maybe PM-ing interests, etc. Feel free to post anything like that in here so that your giver can just come here anonymously and find out a little about you.

Did absolutely nothing on the coaster front this year; didn't even go to a single park. But my highlight was spending the weekend in Atlanta with TPR after DSB to give Ally, Cammy and KT their own little girls vacation. I know they loved every second of it because when we had to leave on Sunday all three girls burst into tears! It broke my heart but also let me know how much fun they had and that we'll definitely have to make a road trip to Orlando in the future!

Wow! Just logged in this morning to 22 new messages! I will PM each of you back to confirm that I received your address, but give me a little while to catch up. So excited!

I just edited this in the original post to let me know in your PM if you can ship internationally. I thought if it's posted in the thread for everyone to see it would narrow down the pool of people to guess who your gift came from.

The TPR ChrisHanKwansivus Gift Exchange! The holiday season is getting close so it’s time to sign up for the TPR ChrisHanKwansivus gift exchange! We’re starting a little earlier this year so we can include International members. If you didn't participate last year here's the thread so that you can scan through and get an idea of how it works: ChrisHanKwansivus 2011 Exchange The rules have been tweaked just a little from last year so please make sure you read this post thoroughly before signing up: 2012 RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS!!!

International shipping can be $10-$20 extra. - $20 to $30 spending range on gifts (not including shipping). - No gifts more than $30 please.

Do a little research on the boards and get something your recipient might actually enjoy receiving. - Brandy524 will PM you back by November 26 with the address and person you are gifting to. - USPS Priority Mail required for U.S. participants.

This is the Holiday season dammit, don't agree to participate unless you're sure you'll participate!

This broke my heart when I read this yesterday. How can a parent be so irresponsible and just plain stupid with their child? It is completely the mother's fault. How anyone could blame the zoo is incomprehensible.

Wait, how do your kids know who JEM! is? That's outrageous! Because their mom is awesome! Truthfully though, they've watched it on the Hub. And when Ally told me she wanted to be JEM I was completely behind it! Makes an 80s child proud.

My girls are JEM and Ruby Gloom! Most everything was homemade and I did their makeup!

Gregg's post on facebook was the first I saw and I seriously thought this was a joke! Especially when I read the part about "Episode 7." Then I scrolled down and saw more and more posts. I think it's a win all around! Disney can do so much with the Star Wars franchise and I can't wait to see how this plays out.

And by "huge," you mean the best team in college football reminding their opponent that they're still just "the other Bulldogs" in the SEC, and just as marginal as the ones in Athens.....right? THIS!

Congratulations, Brian! I love how you surprised Big Mike instead! And nice cartwheels, Megan! I've never been able to do one.

End of the workday hunger has set in. I'm looking at all this amazing food and all I have with me are wheat thins. Doesn't seem fair.

At first I thought this post was a joke, but then I saw that you're only 13 so there's a good chance you really are seeing this movie for the first time.

Such a great coming-of-age movie! I love it!

We Redboxed Snow White and the Huntsman the other day. I really didn't expect much going into it so I wasn't let down in the least. I cannot stand Kristen Stewart. She only spoke maybe 5 sentences for about her first 30 minutes of screen time; just grunted and panted while running around. The direction was terrible; certain parts of the story didn't connect. How did she go through a sewer, jump off a cliff into the ocean, wash up on a beach but yet end up in a village with the guards just a few seconds behind her? And she looks like Bugs Bunny. Her front teeth are too big for her mouth! She looks like she's straining every time she tries to close her lips around those teeth. Poor choice for Snow White. Glad I only paid $1.28 to watch it.

Looks like an awesome and random experience! Wish we could've been there!

Always love your reports, Chuck! Can't wait to see more!

Went to see Looper Friday night. Really enjoyed it! It's definitely one of those movies where you can't miss anything or you'll be totally lost. It was actually the first movie in ages that I haven't gotten up and gone to bathroom during. Didn't want to miss anything!

The bears are too funny! But I'm glad we're only seeing them in pictures and not standing there gagging. Thanks for doing that for us, Megan!
