Haha this would be fun. We should just be fair and pick the most central place, except that might be in the middle of the ocean.

Kimberly, the one time we tried to make lefse it did NOT go well. We riced 10 pounds of potatoes and left them out on our porch overnight. At around 2 a.m. that morning our power went out and was out for 9 days. They became potato pancakes.
Jamie, I once guessed a Valentine's day gift from my boyfriend, and I felt so bad. I just don't do it anymore, it takes all the fun out of it! However, I will confess to knowing what one gift from my boyfriend is this year, because I explicitly asked for a book with a specific cover.
I think for me half the fun will be figuring out who the package is from!
Ooops sorry to cause confusion and forgetting that we don't all necessarily celebrate Christmas.

Kimberly, my grandma used to make her own lefse and my family got all of her supplies! We were going to make it one year, but the night we riced the 10 pounds of potatoes the power went out for 10 days. They became potato pancakes.
My family has lots of Christmas traditions. Lately we've been making a politically incorrect Christmas diorama out of our decorations which don't have a place on the tree or with other decorations (too big or whatever). Every morning on Christmas morning we designate someone Santa (usually me) who selects one gift for everyone, and then we all go around in the circle and open them one by one. I'm also one of those obnoxious people who starts listening to Christmas music (albeit not 24/7) the day after Halloween.
Some of my favorite Christmas movies are Love Actually and The Santa Claus, and I love to watch When Harry Met Sally on New Year's Eve.

All I'm going to say is that it's going to be fun watching people figure these things out, especially since I'll probably stink at it :P
So I guess we're allowed to open our presents before Christmas day if we so choose?
Lori, I'm so sorry to hear that! I have finals too right now, so I can relate, but that really sucks :( Something like that happened to my car in high school so usually I just had to sit on a snow seat until the seat warmer kicked in. I hope you can do something about it!
Just wanted to say that I mailed the package to my person!
I have a really busy finals week and I just wanted to pop over and say that I will be mailing the package to my person tomorrow!
I gave my school address, but I'll be there until the 21st anyways.
Also, is my profile set to public? I believe it should be.
Katerina, I have all the information I need from you :) I'm excited! I'm listening to Christmas music now (I love Christmas)
Tahleen, you are so right. But if you look at the canon, some good chunks if it were written before other races or women had the same rights as white men, so as sad as it is, it makes sense in some ways.Ashley, in my later years of high school more contemporary books were on summer reading lists, like Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson and Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli (I've read the former but not the latter). But it does need to happen more often and you're right. My professors assign a lot of contemporary stuff, but that's college and I am an English major.
I know she started because I know who I am giving to but not the address.
I'm taking the Jazz Age right now and I find the canon to be really depressing. My friend is taking a very similar class with all the same authors and different books and she agrees. I'm actually writing a research paper for that class on the connections between money, American identity and impotence The Big Money, Tender is the Night, A Lost Lady and The Sun Also Rises

Tahleen wrote: "The flat rate packaging is free though, so you don't have to pay for that. It might be a few bucks cheaper."Oh, that makes sense. Can you get flat rate packaging at any post office?
Tahleen wrote: "Score. So that means, everyone that if we send it in a flat-rate envelope to another country it will only cost $4.95. I think."Are we sure flat rate is the best idea? In the past for my international mailing needs (and so far the only things I've mailed are from the states to the UK) in the ReadyPost packages you can buy at the post office. Usually the cost of that and a package roughly the size of a book is only like $5 or $7.
I am willing to send internationally.
I'm in! Used books in good condition are good with me.
