Xmas family game

[888mph.livejournal.com]

Hi,

In my family, on Christmas Night, my great-aunt used to make a game with the gifts, from gift-hunting to charades. Since I used to help her when I was little, when she passed away last year it was decided I should carry on the family tradition.

I plan on giving my relatives half of sentences that they'll need to relate to the other other half, in order to discover which is their gift from the pile.

Now... I need sentences. ^_^"


They don't need to be christian and fully Christmas related, but more about good will, love, peace among men and so on.

I already have some in this post, but I need many more.

Could you guys help a grrl out? ;)

I hope this is allowed, mods. :)

ETA: I'm sorry, there must be some kind of confusion, but I didn't ask for any ideas for the game. Just sentences to be used in the game I already came up with.

Hotpads for Christmas

[kathiann.livejournal.com]

My boyfriend has been in his new apartment for about 5 months now and has a woeful amount of anything domestic outside of some hand-me-down dishtowels and some old plates from his mom. So for Christmas this year, in addition to a few other store bought goodies, I made him some hot pads.  Not the best looking things in the world as I don't really sew (mostly cross stitch) but they are better than nothing.  My mom helped me with putting the binding on the edges, cause yeah, that wasn't working very well.  Not sure if the pics are too large, so they're all going under the cut.  Sorry that they're a bit blurry, my mom needs a new camera.
( see what I made :) )

I used 100% cotton matterial for the outside, and the batting i used as a cotton polyester blend.  My mom suggested that as it would be slightly less flamable.  We're also making him hot pads, but they're not done yet.  They're being made out of some upholstery remnants that I got from a friend.  We're going to fray the edges so that I didn't have to deal with the binding again.
