[Todah Tear]

Great! The more the marrier!

I'll PM you guys my Christmas wish list since you are going shopping

Gift Exchange (I had to re-read what was said on last year's thread):

As in past years, one gift brought by each person in the campsite. The gift price should NOT exceed $10;it could be less. It can be a useable gift or a gag gift, wrapped or in a gift bag.


Todah

[caseydog]

yes, Todah and all... I am PLANNING on it , will try to go ahead and make a deposit at least in the next week or two.

I have a very little used , easy to put up two room tent if anyone needs to borrow (or buy) it. If you have to tent it, bring a space heater too... Glenn used that at LCG and said it was "toasty" in his tent.

Back in around 1995, I got pissed off at my high-pay, high bullsh-t corporate job, and went to work at an REI store for about a year. I spent most of what I earned on camping gear. The wife didn't care, since she liked to camp, too. I have a great tent -- not big, but it will survive a hurricane.

And, Lowes has a Stanley heater that is perfect for my tent when it is cold outside.

Now, the million-dollar question -- will there be a bogus burn ban again this year? It rained last year, and everything was wet, but they had a burn ban. What's up with that?

I would love to do Palo Duro again. I hope next year, my car doesn't explode on the way home.

I would appreciate not having any "gag" gifts, as those are usually only good for re-gifting or aren't usuable.
Thanks..

If we're caroling again, is someone putting together the words & music on paper, like last year?

Julie

[oklahomajewel]

Oh and I haven't made a res yet but should.... checked accuweather for kicks & giggles, and I know it's just a guess but says about mid 50's or more during the day, and mid 30's at night.

Are we doing a Christmas movie again?

Julie
