I'd need to double the number of releases for 2017 in order to cover all the shopping. And don't let me get started on the state of my poor TBR.

I love Megan Derr too, enjoy your precious. :-)

I love these little guys they're so adorable. They were in the movie...
description which is totally an awesome holiday movie...not sure what holiday since it has Santa, the Easter bunny, the tooth fairy and sandman in it. So I guess it's sort of a multi-purpose movie :)

I just realized GR stole my answer to you above, when I LOLed at the completely different elves! They're cute. :) The one munching the tinsel is my favorite. <3

I second this, Christelle! Although I would have a hard time picking just one name as the best. All of them are great :)

Ami (amie_07) | 341 comments Okay seriously, I thought I was done; we're closer to the ending date of the event. But apparently Mysterious Christmas Elf thought that I could use a little something to brighten up my Thursday and gave me this

You totally do. It's awesome and Huge Jackman is the voice of the Easter Bunny...I kid you not. I like the tinsel munching elf, but my fav is the one bouncing on the present because that's like the equivalent of shaking the box to see what's inside and it may or may not be something I'm notorious for doing ;)

You need to watch the movie it's so awesome!!! (that is if you haven't already seen it or even if you have. I've watched it several times myself).

Karen, you would be so frustrated in my house. I totally wrap things in different size boxes from what they came in and weight down the light items, using....books of course. And newspaper so that nothing moves at all. :D I make my boys nuts, because they shake boxes too. *looks smug*


TL *Humaning the Best She Can* Got mine when I came home today :) 'A Northern Light' by Jennifer Donnelly, plus 'Burn for me' Ilona Andrews, and 'Firelight' Kristen Callihan... thanks my Secret Santa! *hugs*

I've been known to open presents and re-wrap them so that no one knows we would be well matched but honestly, I'm always sad if I figure out what's in the box the fun is in the guessing not the knowing.
