“If you believe in Santa...2012”
Some of Santa's bigger elves
have perused your GoodReads shelves
In the hopes that with one look
we could recommend a book...
Now, even though your T.B.R.
is even taller than you are...
We're adding yet another title,
one that we think will be vital!
Something top-notch that we liked.
Something sure to get you psyched,
and settled in a reading mood.
‘Cos we know that you’ve been very good!
We hope you’ll think it’s something special.
Maybe Funny, Sweet or Sensual?
Our pick, an Unexpected Treasure,
in your Holiday Reading Pleasure.
A little gift from us to you,
After your bookshelves got a review.
Brightening your holidays, we hope will ensue.
Hey! It’s the least that we could do!
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Got you, ladies. Hmmm. I could use a nice bath about now, Miss Carrie.
Oh, that Leif is the most lecherous of the Online Elves, don't you think, Carrie? You better be careful, Leif! Santa is watching!
Woah there, Mr. Elf! You're making the ladies blush heehee I love it when you do that ;) and if Carrie won't help you get clean, feel free to come on over and bathe at my house :)

I added you both, Miss Elishia & Miss Susan. I won't comment, Miss Susan... Miss Lisa Kay is right. Santa has big eyes.
Added you, too, Miss ☼Sunny☼.
Do those big eyes correlate to any other body part? ;) I figure if I'm going to be naughty, I'm going to go all out hahahaha
LOL, so glad I swallowed my coffee before clicking.
Done, Miss ShoSho & Miss Gisela.

Hmmm, I guess it's all relative...

J/K! You know we love you Leif!!
LMBO! Yes, maybe a palm tree leaf would cover it.
Caro, you have some big palm trees in your yard? Maybe Leif and I need to come visit and try those out....purely for informational purposes for the group. We want everyone to have an accurate measurement guide ;)
I'm having a good time with this :)
