TiBB Secret Santa 2024 (Secret Santa presents POSTED)

[Benjamin]

Surprised nobody has been on this.

Premise is simple. You join, once I get enough people/in a weeks time (whichever I decide) I’ll assign you your secret Santa person and you send me via PM what you want to give them (video, picture, poems etc - be creative).

Then say on 23rd or 24th I’ll post the secret Santa gifts in here.

Totally empathizing with Vanessa's vibe there :laugh: I thought I had a few more days to get things together before the big day. It's not like I didn't know the current date. Nope. Initially I had thought husband would be off with more time pre-25th because they're messing with his schedule atm and so my mind was inserting imaginary time and days that don't exist which is foiling my plans... it isn't going to impact things too much (I hope), but it's definitely going to busy from now until then :laugh: ... I'm kind of tired.

First a poem…

A bachelor caress'd his cat,
A darling, fair, and delicate;
So deep in love, he thought her mew
The sweetest voice he ever knew.
By prayers, and tears, and magic art,
The man got Fate to take his part;
And, lo! one morning at his side
His cat, transform'd, became his bride.
In wedded state our man was seen
The fool in courtship he had been.
No lover e'er was so bewitch'd
By any maiden's charms
As was this husband, so enrich'd
By hers within his arms.
He praised her beauties, this and that,
And saw there nothing of the cat.
In short, by passion's aid, he
Thought her a perfect lady.

[Kate!]

Ben were you Ness's Santa?

[Swan]

Ben were you Ness's Santa?

Who was Ammi's?

[Kate!]

Who was Ammi's?

Don't know? Want to know who was mine as well? Really curious to who would choose to get me a bingo pen when I have gambling problems....was a bit puzzled by that.

[Benjamin]

I wouldn’t read too much into that. Not everybody knows.

[Kate!]

I wouldn’t read too much into that. Not everybody knows.

Yes they do? I've sent you a pm. I'm a little bit upset tbh.

[Benjamin]

Kate, I can’t speak on behalf of who got you, but I didn’t even know that tbf.

[Kate!]

Kate, I can’t speak on behalf of who got you, but I didn’t even know that tbf.

Yes I know you didn't Ben but as far as I know everyone else did?

Can you answer my pm? It's driving me mad not knowing...I just want to see the person tell me why they chose things I wouldn't like? I'm mystified.

I'm really sorry and I don't want to cause drama or create a bad note but with the gambling and a Keir Starmer thingy?

Am puzzled.

[Benjamin]

Kate, again, not everyone knows everything about you or anyone. You’re reading too much into it. I’m not checking my PM’s at the moment, I’ll look tomorrow.

[Kate!]

Kate, again, not everyone knows everything about you or anyone. You’re reading too much into it.

Hmmmm. I don't agree. I've been extremely vocal on here about my issues and that I hate Starmer.

I apologise if I upset the person who got me but I felt it thoughtless. I do feel bad saying it. But I'm being honest.

[Kazanne]

My gifts were for the always fabulous

Kazanne

Thankyou Cherie they were spot on xxx

[Swan]

Wouldn't be Christmas without a Tibbs row!

[Maru]

Whoever was mine knocked it so out of the park, I'm currently checking my home for cameras. I kind of want to know who it is, but the mystery is amusing to me.

[Maru]

Wouldn't be Christmas without a Tibbs row!

Typically I miss those thanks to time differences. I get the sanitized version of TiBB :laugh:

Concentrate on the nice gifts and not the traditional secret santa funny ones.

[Kate!]

It's not funny to get things you don't like for strong reasons. A bingo pen? A pic of someone I hate? I fail to see any humour there. I've had 3 separate people say it was in bad taste.

I ensured all the things I got you as my Santa recipient were things you'd love for example.

I doubt I'll take part in future.

I got the pen because I thought you still went to the bingo.


But hey, I think you should maybe hide the imaginary pen under your imaginary starmer pillow just incase you're tempted to break into your piggy bank to get at the imaginary £20 in loose change before jumping on an imaginary free bus to the bingo.





Hopefully I get someone less childish and ungrateful next year.

That's totally unfair. It's not childish or ungrateful at all. I've stated dozens of times on here that I've quit gambling for the sake of my sanity, money reasons and my health. I don't know how you're unaware of that, but I'll not pursue it.

The Travel and the piggy bank were great, I liked those. But as I've stated I've actually had people pm me to see if I was alright about the other 2 gifts. Never mind Parm, I bear you no ill will. Just wish you'd have thought more about it? I didn't see any humour at all. Sorry about that, I'm sensitive that way, and I hate gambling and I hate Starmer. I can't pretend to like those gifts.

Really sorry I upset you but I had to get it off my chest.

[Beso]

I spent yesterday morning tidying my sons graveside, Kate, whilst you probably spent it moaning about fake presents. Fake presents you seemed ok with during the reveal, but seemed to get more and more steemed about it as the day went on. I'm guessing cause nobody said they had sent them and thay was probably what bothered you most.

Anyway, I wont peruse it, as I'm outta here before I really say something I will regret to you.

Maybe back next year, but I doubt it, you've taken the fun out of TIBB for me today.

That's a bit harsh Parm but I'll take it. You're entitled to comment. I grieve as well at Christmas you know. I did apologise in two separate threads, here and my Ammi thread. I can't and won't do any more than that. I'm sincere but I'm not grovelling. I was genuinely upset and it was after people had commented that it was a tad thoughtless and was I upset? That was done privately.

That's all I have to say....take it or leave it as you wish. Like I said I don't grovel. If you can't accept what I've said twice! then that's the end of it.

[Cherie]

I’m afraid I don’t understand any of this but it matters not as you all clearly loved the idea !

Basically you choose gifts around what you know about the person, so for instance for you Zizi

I would have chosen a new Snake Vivarium
A years supply of frozen mice
and a Tesco Home delivery at Christmas

you are welcome
