On the first day of Xmas my true love gave to me...

[eevee-gurl.livejournal.com]

1. Christmas cards!
They're fun to receive and not hard to send. I'd be happy to send you (yes you!) one too if you'd like. Just leave a comment with your address or send it over to eevee_gurl@livejournal.com No guarantees on the quality of the card (hey, they're expensive!) when I reach over 10-15 people! But there'll be a card, nevertheless.

2. Candies!
I'm such a sucker for food, and what better way to celebrate the Christmas cheer with a sweet in your mouth? Because I don't live in the US, I don't actually have access to most of the junk food people rant about. (I'm really fascinated by long paper tubey things full of sugar (I have no idea what they're called.))I'm a big fan of most sweets, save the odd one like licorice. If there's anything in particular people want from Hong Kong or China, I'll do my best to get it to you!

3. A movie poster!
Living in China, you'd think that we get most of the Made in China products cheap. Actually we do. And we get a lot of cheap fakes here, too. But surprisingly, I haven't been able to find any posters around. I'd love a full sized poster to call my own. (Feel free to ask if I like a movie if you happen to have a poster you don't want lying around.)

4. Pretty jewelry!
I'm a sucker for pretty jewelry, earrings especially. I fell in love with them ever since I got my ears pierced. And well, yeah! That's that.

5. A scarf!
I really love scarves. Big and fuzzy are the way to go, but nice little scarves for just simple decoration are awesome too.

6. iPod Video!
I honestly don't expect this to be granted, but I thought I'd just throw it out there. Wheee! It's be amazing to have, what with all the cool stuff I could do with it like watch TV shows =D

7. A donation to your local pet charity!
Here, we have RSPCA but I'm not sure what people in the US have. In the small community, we try to home strays and give them food and shelter. We do what we can to neuter them so that the number of cats don't multiply just so the next generation can live out in the wild and be killed. There's only so much we can do with China, especially since people aren't usually willing to do anything for pets. May the pets have a beautiful christmas as well =)

8. Your favorite Christmas recipe!
Sure, we have limited resources in terms of ingredients, but a lot of things we can get from somewhere else and so I'd love to make something Christmasy for Xmas if we can't get it store-bought =D

9. You do to do something nice for a friend!
I wasn't feeling very well the other day, and my friend was just so nice and caring and understanding. I really appreciated all he did for me. He didn't judge me at all and was cheering me up, and it just made me realize how great friends are.

10. Lip balm!
I'm a big fan of everything lip-y and I used to be more into lip gloss but now I've begun liking lip balm more. Squeeee!

Edit - I really should've included an

Recipe!

Brittany Mix
ingredients:
melted white chocolate chips, pour over...
- your favorite flavor of cheerios
- m&ms (red and green for that extra holiday flavor!)
- pretzels/pretzel sticks
- peanuts
- chex pieces
mix it all together, let dry.

Of course, add anything else you think may taste good when covered in white chocolate, and remove anything you don't think you'd like.

My friend Brittany has made this for her friends every year during the holidays, and I just figured I'd share the yummy desserty salty-sweet goodness. :D

Oh, livejournal's JUST delivered this comment!

Chinese addresses do look funny. :) Although Russian ones, when put in Latin, may look barely better. Like this: Pushechnaya ul., Zharovnitsy, Nizhegorodskaya obl., Chuvashiya.

:)

[jethros-mom.livejournal.com]

i can send you a card, maybe some candy too
and I think you are refering to pixi sticks.. (at least that's what I call them..lol)
I'm emailing you with my addy :)

[glitter-man.livejournal.com]

I was thinking the same thing.

[julie709.livejournal.com]

I will send a card! Emailing you now.

Sending a card... :)

[fallsintoplace.livejournal.com]

I will send you earrings and a card and will try my best to forward a donation to my local SPCA. =)

Gah! You're awesome =)

hi :) i have the first Harry Potter movie poster and 3 Russell Crowe movie posters - A Beautiful Mind, Proof of Life and Master and Commander (you can see them here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/tiary/159293.html#cutid1), actually). mind, they're in Russian, and only HP and ABM won't have scotch tape on them 'cos i have doubles *g* just let me know if you'd like :)

[eevee-gurl.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeeee! You? Are amazing! If you'd like, I can pay for shipping!

And eeeeeeeeeee! I would absolutely love a poster of A Beautiful Mind! Jennifer Connelly is so gorgeous! Squeeeeeee!

[tati.livejournal.com]

no problem and don't worry for the shipping *hugs* so do you want only ABM or something else as well? and i hope you won't mind that i'll have to fold it to put into package, i promise to find the biggest envelope and do it as carefully as possible. i don't know i can find a tube for it, and not sure post would accept it anyway :)
you can always reach me through LJ email addy :)

[eevee-gurl.livejournal.com]

Gah! That's fine! And if there's anything I can get you from China, be sure to let me know! I am so incredibly grateful for this!

[tati.livejournal.com]

don't worry, it's no trouble :)) i actually have about 10 ABM posters left LOL i used to be a huge fan and ran a website for Russ, and knew people working in movie theaters, who sneaked them to me *G* you don't have to give anything, but a card or something from my wish list (http://www.livejournal.com/users/tiary/159932.html#cutid1) would be amazing :) but no obligation at all! *smooch*
i'll be busy the next couple of days, so will post it at the end of the week, most likely :)

My favorite Christmas-related recipe is a total cinch. All you have to do is make peanut butter cookie dough, put it in miniature muffin wrappers, and then, when the cookies are done, put either a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup or a Hershey's kiss in them--while still warm, or they'll just sit there. They're pretty universal over here, but I didn't have them for the first time until I was about twelve. And, oohhhhh, they're sooooo good! *grins*

[on-the-ground.livejournal.com]

Hi.. I'll be glad to exchange cards for sure!

*My list/addy is here:

If you're looking for vegetable-based recipes, I suggest checking out the Peak of the Market (http://www.peakmarket.com) website.

You can do searches based on which veggie you’d like to use, what kind of meal/dish you’re looking for, or just call up the site’s complete alphabetized recipe listing. You can also e-mail the recipes to other people or submit your own to the site.

Happy cooking! :9
