Ive been pretty sick the past few days... the only days that i had to organize this whole thing for the unveiling of the tree. Ive had crazy work deadlines before that, so please excuse me if you see this as procrastination. In any case, it wouldnt have been too much of a problem if i had internet access at home, but alas i dont, only through work. On top of that, Ive received a lot of emails from people giving nothing but their image and a nice christmas greeting from some contrinutors, and although i do appreciate the kindness, i dont know all of you by name so theres several presents i have no idea what belongs to whom. On top o f that, several of you have submitted multiple revisions which i havent had the opportunity to keep track of (especially when complicated with the previously mentioned dilemma), which i apologize for. Also there are several folks that wont be able to post their stuff until afterwards on christmas day anyways...

Anyways excuses excuses, im REALLY SORRY if this ruins it for you, but theres been a change of plans. I would appreciate if you all could post in this topic your present with a sort of template to keep things slightly organized, along with your image, and whatever holiday greetings youd like to write in text. I know that you have all been very kind enough to be sending in your images to me and been checking up to make sure that ive gotten them and would have liked to see me personally post them, once again i apologize. I also realize that means not everyone's present is going to be posted right away , but im confident that most if not all presents should be posted by the 26th.

If you arae having severe hosting troubles and such, i could help you host your images, but i cnat promise ill be around to actually post them (once again, one of the main troubles is my lack of internet access at home).

so here is a template explanation. In bold text (activated by the button up top, or by pressing "alt b" before and after the text you want emphasized.) at the very top of your post, state whom your present is for, then a line break or two, and your image followed by whatever text greetings you would like to say for your giftee.

Once again please dont be angry at me im sorry i couldnt do this all myself, i cant apologize enough.
