NOT. EASY.

Yes, that does raise the bar

It even beats out Gothic Dachshunds

I do know that Brekke did mostly carving for gifts. So Dagmar, Jaymes, and Tove all got intricately carved wooden ornaments for their tree...each a slightly different snowflake shape, similar enough to each other to be recognizable as a "family" of decorations. The start of their collection.

nice!

Odin.

Similarly, Brekke gives the Farmhold an ornament carved to look like the bridge trod, a footbridge at one end and covered bridge at the other...but this one has a bit of glamour in it that, if broken, the triumvirate of Rivervale would immediately know that the Farmhold is calling for help.

Ha!

Awww!

The farmhold would be touched

ha! boxes!

Dagmar got Symon a BIG D20, black with silvery swirls

Ooooh

Obviously "for Doom"

when you need a scary roll

Siv got another of her mom's carvings...this one is of a pirate girl swinging on a rope suspended from a stand, her cutlass brandished in the hand not holding the rope. (And yes, there's some glamour in there.)

Siv would be giggly with delight

Connor got a ball that makes fart noises.

Kerri and Olgar get a set of three hand-carved bottle stoppers.

That’s NAUGHTY

*squeaks the ball whenever Vali sits down *

Class!

The painting of the family...the relaxed one...goes to Jessica in a frame with her mother's carvings in it...patterns and runes with words like "comfort" and "support" and "love" and "strength."

Ha

(At the ball squeeking, not the painting)

Connor ‘made’ cookies for everyone, and didn’t even use up any needed supplies! He only used leftovers and a handful from each box of cereal. 😇

He's a sweetie

Dagmar is totally going to haul Symon over to try the Xbox. And see that she has all the Monsters and Mazes stuff!

She's gonna be a bard-sorcerer-rogue!

Connor had complete endorsement to use the various foodstuffs, if he asked. Brekke thanks him seriously for the gift.

Symon would have given something he was required to make in home ec to Ann Marie, bought a tie for his dad... hmmm... Burger King gift card for Dirk, Claire’s gift cards for Siv and Sylvi (or whatever today’s equivalent us for inoffensive “girl stuff”)

I think Claires still works

I have to figure out what Sylvi and Kerri got everybody.

But brain is shutting down....bad brain! No biscuit!

Dagmar also got a gift card, to Game Stop. Perhaps he had snuck around and spied on other gifts she had coming? :thinking_face:

ha!

I think Vali is going to get Brekke and Frank this

or something like it.

A guided Tour, In Norway. Hotel stay as needed.

A guided hike really.

Flickerflash to get them there ... not impossible to arrange, and pick them up

The DeBukes will, among other gifts, chip in no less than 3 trolls to patrol the area for them while they are gone

Jaw drop at Valley's gift....how on earth can she gift something equal in return?

"Laugh at all my jokes for a thousand years.. no, that's cruel. It's a gift. Just enjoy geez"
