~⭐️ Minnesota MLP Christmas Party ⭐️~

[ponyqueen]

Just a reminder to sign up by Friday if you wish to participate in Secret Santa!

wish I could come sounds like fun but a little too far to travel

Tiz far. Best wishes for the holidays!

[Nimrodel]

PQ:  We will be there (providing I survive tonight    ).    Please also sign me up for the Secret Santa.

Hope everyone is doing well!  *hugs*

Remember that one time when Aquatic Neon compared Edgar the Elephant to Donald Trump?

That was a fun day!

Let's please reserve all political remarks for Off Topic and WYP.

Still waiting to hear from a few folks about Secret Santa, otherwise looks like we have a nice sized group! Partner assignments will be out by Saturday! 

[rosierjay]

just got confirmation that i'll be working the day of the party. bummer!!
there is still a good chance that calendars will be finished before the party though.
a lot of the pictures have been coming in, so i'm confident this year that we will have a calendar before Christmas at the latest.

I can't come for sure because my sister is having me take off the weekend before for wedding dresses...so I can't get out of that..and I can't take two weekends off in a row

This is good advice. Thank you for pointing out the right direction.

Just waiting to hear back from two people about Secret Santa, but we're on track to have a good turn out and partner assignment tomorrow! 

We'll go ahead and cap the budget at $20. That's a maximum, not a minimum. 

Almost have the line art for the coloring contest where I want it, it'll just be a matter of editing for quality. Should be ready to go in a few days!

[Aurora]

Hooray! Foxfire is working on her wishlist, and I'll make one for this swap, but if my partner wants to go visit my other wishlist for ideas and information, I'm not that finicky. Actually, I probably won't notice which wishlist any ponies are off of- I'll just be happy!

Should we post the wishlist here, or put a link to it?

Big hugs!

Rosier- do you work the whole day of the party, or can you make it for part of it?

Wizzer and Bubbles-  Booo! I'm sorry you can't make it! Wedding dresses are fun, though.

Hey guys!!!  Once again, life has gotten away from me, hence my MIA from this thread!  I'm a definite maybe on coming.  99.8% sure, but since I can't commit 100% I'm going to sit out the swap.  Thanks for the reminder today PQ, and Aurora sorry I didn't get back to you!  Please send me some ideas on what your little guy is into, but please don't get my kiddos anything.  I can always buy them a little treat from one of you on that day.  I'd feel terrible if we ended up not making it!  Pony hugs to all!

Partners have been assigned! Keep an eye on your message box!

Thanks for the update! I'll add you to the guest list, but not the Santa list. Looking forward to seeing you and fam!

Uff-da! Between school and work, I've been forgetting to check this thread!

Okay, so!
Favorite pony(-ies): Love the G1 rainbow ponies, SS Twilight, Sea Flower, Blueberries Baskets, and any pony having to do with space or music.
Likes: G1 line, cats, frogs, music, cross-stitching, beads, chocolate, cherries, blueberries, math, reading, learning.
Dislikes: olives, mushrooms, spicy things, bugs, snakes, zombies, wasabi.
Wish items:
Pony: (US) G1 Rainbow pony Confetti (bad hair is fine so long as body is in good-great shape; I can always rehair; not so good at restoring, though).
Accessories: Baby pony bibs: white with heart and purple trim (3 to complete), any that are white with a butterfly (4 to complete); any turtle, lobster, or duck float for baby sea ponies; yellow or aqua snail rocker(s) (2 of each to complete, but I think they're out of our given price range); standard pink baby pony xylophone (Baby Fifi would like to jam with the others and can't); and according to my list I don't have any of the plain white baby bottles that came with the newborn/newborn twins (how the hay...?) so any of those are awesome too. Regular white diapers are handy as well, along with the newborn-style boxes.

That's more than long enough, I think. :drop: Pick and choose, partner! *goes to see if her partner has posted anything*

[Delphian]

Yay! I'm so excited for the Xmas meet.

Dear Santa,
Favorite pony: G1 Applejack (and Starglow too )
Likes: art, crafts (I knit and crochet), pretty much every gen of pony, chocolate, video games, travel, sewing, cute animals--especially anything with a bunny on it!
Dislikes: bugs and spiders, spicy and/or sour food
Wish items: Any show and glow pony besides Starglow and Dazzleglow would be amazing! G4 Minty. G1 accessories and merch of all kinds, I barely have any. Artwork. Handmade things. A sketchbook. Stickers (both the pony and non-pony kind). A growler of good local beer. Chocolate is always appreciated too. 

Edit to add: I'm not super picky about ponies. I mostly care about the display side looking nice. I'm also OK with Christmas themed stuff.
