I want my avatar changed to a SUPER-ELF this year! It took forever with just two elves.
Also, the glitter. Oh good god the glitter! It is seriously getting out of control people.

Woes, I'll have to do a shot tonight for a little elf care! I just happen to have a bottle exactly like that chilling for this very occasion
HT as super elf sounds cool. I can see him in the green tights. Think glitter is bad...get that image out of your mind.

Yo HT aka SUPER-ELF aka 999 forever:
I think it should be so. (Don't you have a little connect on the corner or something? Perhaps you could par-lay with them to make that happen.) ((Oh and sorry about your glitter luck.))
Tred: are the tights green? For some reason I thought they were red and white striped. Perhaps he's got several ensembles to choose from in the elven phone booth. I also seem to remember a certain hat you might have that could be donated to his wardrobe?
WOES: glad to see you're still getting goosed while hitting the lime.
Seriously though - you guys are boss. I can only imagine what a job that was, but it's a testament to y'all's generosity and honoring the spirit of this tradition.
2012 pretty much sucked.
Things no longer suck.

WOES & HT
🤗💗 can’t imagine with just the two of you. Thank you for all you do! Hoping next year will be different and we can see you guys and help and such. Glad you kept the tequila tradition alive!

Fused, you're quite welcome for the suggestion! I love Marian's stuff, and that one is definitely super appropriate this year!
HT and WOES, I would apologize for my part in the glitter, but I wouldn't mean it! I appreciate y'all doing this so much, especially this year.

I think this would be awesome
No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

Welp, I'm a complete idiot. For some reason, I was thinking the instructions would arrive in an email or something. Suffice it to say I did not send cards and I feel awful about it! I have some atoning to do next year. I honestly can't believe I messed this up so badly and I apologize profusely to everyone on the card list.
20+ year relationship; Never officially married
Dday November 2019

WH multiple APs, currently involved with married COW
Kicked him out on Dday and that was that

Just popped in to say another thank you to WOES and HT! My husband got the mail and said “some of your glittery cards have arrived.” 😂 Already glitter all over and I haven’t opened one. The most wonderful time of the year!
And Bent andBroken and whoever else forgot. No worries! It’s fun to make and send them out. I haven’t done a family card this year, but was excited to get my SI ones made and sent. Spreading a little cheer goes a long way in making me feel good during a sometimes emotional season Abd I just hope it brightens up someone else’s day too!
I'm the BS. WH had an EA/PA with a cOW. DDay was 4/17. Working on R. Married 15 years and together 20 at DDay.
DDay #2 and #3 6/19. Grew a conscience and admitted a full blown physical affair.
Current and forever status is reconciling. I don't

Well I went to check the mail, hoping to see some of my cards in there. There was a big stack of stuff with a rubberband around it and I got all excited... but it wasn't my cards. It was about 30 pieces of mail for various addresses all over my neighborhood, dafuq?
I don't know why that was in there.

ALL THOSE CARDS 😮.
Can’t wait until the USPS leaves a trail of glitter to my door.
Thanks, Elves and Super-elves!

Yaayyy! My mailbox held about a dozen envelopes of joy today. No glitter in the mailbox, but my gloves were sparkly when I got back inside.
One envelope has an embossed circle on the outside. I would know who sent that one even without the "JP" in the return address area!
Special thanks to the Elves for all the hard distanced work and for making sure mine arrived!!
Finding what life could have been....... Why didn't I see it?
