That is so sweet. I hope Ralphie gets lots of presents in his stocking this year. I know of one that will be in there.
I hope my mother doesn't find out I'm hanging around in VD-land. She may not let me back in the house.

Tootie's comment somehow reminds me of something long ago. My freshman year in college, we had coursework we could take between semesters--about 3 weeks. It was called Intersession. My roommate called her parents to say she was staying on campus for Intercourse. Gave them a real start, I must say.

I know how that works. I stopped telling people that I hang around the VD support board all day long. I kept getting funny stares...

Although I haven't been around much lately, I do enjoy peeking in and seeing your finds. I hope you both get your winter jacket and hat from Santa!
Sigh. All I want for Christmas is a harmonious family! LOL, like that will ever happen!
Happy hoidays, everyone!

I'd take a look at your auctions, but don't know how to find them.  So, I guess I'm just an ordinary VDer.

Cheryl:
The little fellow has had a rough Holiday Season so far, starting with the CAT next door telling him that there is NO Santa!
Oy! Kids! Whaddya gonna do?
To make it up to him, I took Ralph to the Mall to have his picture taken with Santa, & yer not gonna believe what happened:
They wouldn't let him on Santa's lap! Some obscure Florida law sadly slanted in favor of HUMAN children! What prejudice! What discrimination!
Needless to say, twas very embarassing, what with a small crowd of holiday shoppers & mental health professionals gathering around! We beat a hasty retreat amongst murmers of: "What a nut-job" and "Cute dog, though"
Finally home, I tell him: Hey, why don't ya write Santa a letter? Since he is a BT & drops his "r's" I'll take his dictation:
"Dear Santa:
Screw the clothes! What I really want
is a Red Ryder..."
That's when I tore up the letter, shouting...
"You'll shoot yer eye out!

Hey Tom
WalMart usually has a day when Ralphie can get his picture took with Santa.
Do you have more than one store? Do I need to look somewhere else?

Hiya Toots!:
Yeah? I don't know what the big deal is: the EASTER BUNNY had no problem!
NO, just the one STORE -- did you like it? Is it too cluttered? Tis still a work in progress! Some of the STORES are really impressive!
EVERYBODY: if you haven't opened a feeBay STORE yet, DO IT!
What a GREAT BARGAIN it is!
I've cut my listing fees at least by 60%, & NOW, around 50% of my sales are STORE ITEMS!
This is ONE thingy that feeBay is doing RIGHT!
Just pray they donna SCREW it up!

Tom -- I have had a store since starting with ebay and have never had a problem. I usually make an additional $200-$300 in sales from the store. I just need more time to list. For only $9.95 a month and a measly 3 cents per listing, it is well worth it.

Tom
Your store looks great. I don't think it's cluttered at all.
I love having the eBay store. I'm selling twice as much for half the fees. I had planned to close my Vendio store when I got everything listed on eBay, but before I could that one took off too. I just hope it will last.
The WalMart thing is usually called Santa Paws. But I took Gunther to the Portrait Studio for this one.
All my relatives sent a picture of their kids with the same backdrop to my Grandmother. Gunther was right there in the photo album with them. They didn't think it was quite as funny as I did. I wonder why.

Toots:
What a GREAT pic of yer doggie! I know I'm wierd about Ralphie, but I'm a geezer & I have the freedom to NOT CARE anymore...
To all who suffer chronic pain syndrome, I highly recommend adopting a DOG, preferably of the BOSTON persuasion, but I could be a tiny bit prejudiced (??)
They force ya to get "out of yerself" and care about something other than p&m'ing all the time!
Except for the 80% of the time that he's sleeping & snoring, we talk (slightly one-sided) & play all day long.
He's a great bud...

Tom...
Here in California there is also some law about human kids only to sit on Santa's lap. My Mom had a poodle that was just like family and a few years ago she slipped the Santa $100 and he agreed to the picture...even kissed the dog for the picture...money talks...she has it framed in the formal dining room.
