Ok, I know we're not quite there yet, but I have several things to share, and I've been decorating...so I'm in the holiday mood. *Falalalala*
And I figured this might prompt some of you to get creative with your "Gatchy Holiday Greetings"...so let the games begin!
Here is a set of ornaments I wouldn't mind having....along with a glittery Fiery Phoenix for the top of the tree...
Feel free to create some more ornaments for the set, everyone!

Of course, this ornament would have a place of honor on my tree! 
Hee, Joe's expression suggests he's about to snoop under the tree to see if he can figure out what his gifts are, but doesn't want to be seen doing it!
We probably won't put up a tree here for another couple weeks, but I wish I had these Gatch ornaments!

Those are great ornaments, Springie! I wish I had Gatch ornaments too! All I've got is the pathetic little God Phoenix I made...
Great ornaments Springie, maybe we could print these off and tape them to our boring ones at home. 
Love the ornaments, Springie! But instead of having their likenesses on the tree, can I just have one or two of them (namely the Eagle and/or Condor) wrapped up under the tree??? 
I'll see what I can do... 
Here are a couple more...
and a photomanip...because i just can't get in enough 'shipping!

As always great pics, Springie, with great humor. I think Jinpei is getting worse then coal in his stocking for messing with Joe's car!

Ha, Jinpei might be the only character that Joe never hit -let's hope that, for Jinpei's sake, that doesn't change!

Great pics, Springie and Shamrockchick!! I could definitely see Jinpei doing both those things! Wonder if he'd be alive long enough after Joe caught him to open those gifts early though! 
Shamrockchick, that is great! I can totally see Jinpei being sneaky!

My brother actually used to go down, undo the tape and peel inside, then tape it all up again. 
Our presents were colour coded and no one could open them until mum had revealed whose presents were what colour, usually red, blue or green. It was not unknown for my sisters and I to start Christmas day with a good sulk because one of our presents had been opened by 'accident'.

Last Christmas was our first Christmas with cats and they loved to sit under our tree and chew open all the presents! We had to tape up a lot of corners...

Originally posted by Transmute Jun My brother actually used to go down, undo the tape and peel inside, then tape it all up again.My sis did that one year. The next year santa just gave her the gifts when they were purchased. Then told her, if she wanted them wrapped, to do it herself. Needless to say, she never peeked again.

I used to "help" my kitty.
Springie, I love your new drawings, and if I get the gumption I just might have to see if I can use the one for cards. Will ask before doing so though.
No problem, GG! Just let me know which one, so i don't do the same one!

Springie love those ornaments and the Pic of Jinpei decorating Joe's car.
Now I have to watch for the car, that parks on my street, that is decorated like that and take a picture of it just to prove that some people really do that. 
Shamrock ... love your pic of Jinpei unwrapping his presents.
I guess I was one of the bad ones, I remember unwrapping one of my presents one year. It was a tiny package from my grandmother and I could not wait to see what it was. I finally snuck under the tree one evening while my parents were else where and unwrapped it. Of course my Mother found out. I think all she said was "now you have spoiled the surprise on Christmas Day", and ... she was right. I never did it again.

Originally posted by gatchgirlI've done that -wrapping things in odd-shaped boxes so that it isn't immediately obvious that it's a book (what I give people 90% of the time), a CD or a calendar. I remember once, when I was a teenager, I got my brother a wool knit hat, and I knew I wouldn't be able to wrap it unless I shoved into some kind of box, and the only empty box that I could find that was close to the right size was a box that had previously contained tampons -Oh, the look on my brother's face when he unwrapped it on Christmas morning!Originally posted by shamrokchickI would also measure the gifts and see how close they were to the sizes that the christmas catalog said it should be.

Ohhh, we do the whole disguise the present game in our family. Some times it it very hard to do. How do you disguise a 6 foot ladder?
And this year I just bought my parents a new snow shovel .... no idea how I am going to disguise that.
Of course my parents already know about it since they sent me into the store where it was on sale, so I told them I all I had to do was wrap a bow around it and give it to them when they are down next weekend.

Ummmm, if I recall, it some thing ordinary like a silver broach. - but at the time my brother was getting all the "big" presents and I was still at the age where I thought size mattered - at least in "that" department.
Hallmark cards has gift bags that say No Peeking and when someone tries to an alarm goes off and a voice says "Attention We have a PIP. Peeking In Progress! Put down the present and step away slowly." I'm giving those to my nieces and nephews--notorious peekers.

All these stories are LOL material. LB, a tampon box, hope you got the kodac moment on that one.

You guys have seen this before, but I made him more "seasonal"...
Aww, Springie! That's awesome!
Ok, who's going to try to sneak a peek at the gifty the Condor is holding???
You all can have the gift, I'm going in for the gift holder. 
Springie, it might not be in this topic, but I honestly don't think I'll get the gumption this year to turn one of your beautiful pics into a card. So no worries about being the same one as yours.
