Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue
White Elephant Game!
Hey everyone!! The holiday season is rapidly approaching (or maybe it’s already here? that’s what the stores that have been blasting Christmas songs since November first seem to think, anyway) so I thought I’d bring back this game. I’m just going to copy and paste the rules from the last White Elephant Game (posted by Partridge on TM).
Here's how this will work:
1. Under an alias, post a description of the wrappings of an imaginary gift by December 1st.
3. After December 1st, we will choose gifts in the order of description posted. I’ll post a list of the order we’ll be choosing in :)
4. When someone has chosen your gift, reply to them revealing what it is. It could be something real, such as a poem or drawing, or something imaginary, like a puppy or a jar of stardust. Also, reveal your identity!
5. Once you receive your gift, respond with a thank-you! That's only polite! :)
RULES:
- Post your gift description by December 1st
- Post under an alias, not your CBer name.
- Wrap your gift creatively!
- Don't reveal your own identity until someone claims your gift. If the gift you choose turns out to be a picturing or something else that requires your CBer identity, you can make an exception.
- Remember to post!
- Have fun!
I'll post my gift when this thread shows up :)

happy holidays!
...you carefully pick up the golden gift and marvel at the carefully wrought ribbon and sleek paper, turning the fragile object over and over in your hands. It's a shame to waste such beautiful paper, you reflect, as you untape and unfold, slowly bringing the present into the light...
my gift is uhh *quickly thinks of gift* some calm song recs and some terrible jokes!!
- Suitcase by JJ Heller
- I'm Here by Sweet Talk Radio
- bon iver by mxmtoon
- I know it won't work by Gracie Abrams
- Clearly by Grace VanderWaal
-> Did you hear about the flat Earth believer who decided to walk west until he fell off? In the end he came around, and the only thing he had to fear was sphere itself.
-> I got a new pair of gloves today, but they’re both ‘lefts’ which, on the one hand, is great, but on the other, it’s just not right.
-> What do you call a short spiky dinosaur who fell down the stairs? Ankle-is-sore-us.
...you stare down at the neatly folded paper in your hands as the songs start playing with holiday ambiance, focusing on the safety and warmth that surrounds you...

um... since wings of snow still isn't replying, should we move on to the next person?
(December 17, 2023 - 12:14 pm)
Yep, I guess we can move onto Golden Snow.
I think if wings of snow ends up replying, then they can choose at the end. Also, at least until they reply saying that they're still here, no one can pick wings of snow's gift.
Does that sound fair?

My gift to you is a book recommendation! Tell me your favorite genre and some of your favorite books and I will try to match you with a book you will like!
