Christmas Festivities (Applicable to ALL)

[xp-professional.livejournal.com]

As most of you may know (evidenced by the letters taped to your doors this morning), Ryuhana Gakuen has teamed with another local school to facilitate an anonymous gift exchange program. The faculty of both schools have combined the names of students at both institutions and randomly matched recipients to purchasers.

The gifts will be deposited in a repository in the school library, to be sorted by faculty, who will be distributing the gifts to their proper recipients. Names of recipients should be clearly marked to ensure that they will find their ways to the hands of the correct person. Please deposit your gifts no later than Thursday, 15 December as that will be the last full day of classes at Ryuhana before winter break. There will be a holiday party and gift exchange (as well as no classes) on Friday, 16 December, where students and faculty are welcome to invite friends and family to participate in the festivities.

Any student who will be leaving campus for winter break must sign the form in the main office with the place where he or she can be reached over the holidays.

Classes will resume Monday, 9 January 2006.



[ooc: The letters referenced above were indeed taped to student doors at both campuses. The content is essentially similar to what's posted here; BH letters of course make no mention of neither Ryuhana holiday dates nor the party. BH kids are welcome to leave campus for the holidays, but there's no official break. -- Anyway, each letter also contained a slip of paper with the name of the person that the student has to buy a gift for. I've notified almost everyone privately; if you haven't gotten a name, let me know. I've excluded the people who are on hiatus and/or currently inactive (actually, I think the only people who haven't been informed are Mina, Maria, and Gwen). BH letters also state that this is not mandatory and you won't be penalized if you respectfully abstain. Bitching will be penalized.

Feel free to talk about this behind cuts if you like, the 'secret' part of the 'secret santa' is IC only. When your character has purchased a gift, please comment to this entry with what it is and who it's for. Comments will be screened so any surprises won't be spoiled. I'll unscreen any comments that should be publicised. Thank you! ]

I consider it fortunate that for once, Shishido isn't going to be complaining (much) since he actually likes who he got.

I'm still alive (the real hiatus shall come later), so send the info PLZ. ( mizunoakashi @ gmail . com )

Also, kinda random, but I'm assuming students are allowed to stay on campus as long as they like given their fathers don't drag them home prematurely?

[xp-professional.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Inui's getting Renji a stuffed pink teddy bear with a pink bow. Only for the sheer fact that he knows renji won't be able to connect pink bear with a gift from inui and he would rather not be pinpointed a such.

Momo's getting Mizuki a sex gimick package that includes, boob and penius shaped candy, flavored condoms, novelty battery powered vibrator, and various other related objects. (cuz it's very gender neutral)

Horio's getting Wakato a blue scarf with matching gloves. Cuz he figures that's a good winter present.

Shinji got Kajimoto one of those huge exercise balls.

Tomo-mun here!

Santa Exchange Gift -- purchased!

For: Ryuuzaki-sensei.
What is it?: A simple silver bracelet, similar to this one (http://www.zulumoon.com/details.asp?ProductCode=BR-2577).

Kevin-mun will be done with his own gift soon!

An is getting Kirihara a watch (nothing too fancy or expensive but still nice) and a pack of decorated playing cards.

Nanako will be baking Kenta cookies and/or cake since she doesn't know what to get him.

Tezuka still has no idea what to get Ohtori (which is amusing since I'm using his journal)

Since Shishido got Saeki, he is participating in the gift exchange but instead of being all secret about it and handing his gift in he's just going to toss it at Sae himself and tell him since he was his secret santa he just got him a bigger gift than he was originally planning on.

He thinks going through a third party when he's seeing Sae anyway is stupid.

For the Secret Santa exchange, Shiiba is giving Ryuzaki Sakuno a pink hamster ball (http://www.petmountain.com/product/cages-and-carriers/105523/lees-kritter-krawler.html) stuffed with long gloves, hair ribbons, hair sticks, a powder compact, eyeshadows in shimmery pinks and peaches, and lip gloss.

Kira has sadly only picked up a couple of karaoke cds (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000059T05/qid=1134604742/sr=8-3/ref=pd_bbs_3/002-6408481-7866453?n=507846&s=music&v=glance), however he included the receipt in the package should Yagyuu want to return them. >.>

I'm not late really! For secret santa purposes:

Ryoma's getting Ryoga "his own damn hat, so he'll stop stealing mine." Just a white cap, no Fila logo (because they don't exist anymore so Ryoma's ten year-old hat is special~).

Kaidoh is getting Nanako a gift certificate for a bookstore (Japanese equivalent of $25) and small pot of poinsettas because they're pretty. ^_^

Before I forget again, Tezuka got Ohtori a couple of compilaion CD's of 'upbeat pop music' and almost cringed buying it.

Um. 8D Yayremembereddeadline! Andstuff. Okies, mm, Wakato's gift to Gakuto would be... pair of fuzzy green slippers, an oversize velvet green cloak, and fluffy green earmuffs. 8D;;; WTF, I have no idea. I think he was going for a strawberry theme~ ♥
