It's everything I've ever wanted!

I especially love:

Blair - something homemade? what am I, a weaver?
yeah, Sandburg, let me just dust off my loom

Because Jim is so fixated on sweaters that he assumes "something handmade" means "make a sweater". /giggle

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

Hee! That was semi-unconscious :D

I don't know what possessed me to introduce a Jim/Sweaters OTP! Canon evidence is pretty much just that he wore a large friendly snowflake sweater in the Russian episode.

Jim, Jim :;shakes head sadly:: What is it with the sweaters?

I'm grinning here at his fond exasperation with and utter reliance on Blair.

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

You know, he keeps asking Blair what to get people, but then he goes and gets Simon the damn sweater, against Blair's recommendation. :)

Thanks for reading! :D

Oh bless Jim and his sweaters and the nice red wine. They are so married!

Thanks for the smile and the urge to hum carols. *g*

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

They are the marriedest :D

Thank you!

hahaha Megan's list is my favorite, just the juxtaposition of hair thingies
and 9mm shells

Best of all:
ironic bath basket for Jim

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

Hee hee. That's me blatantly stealing from Neighborhood Watch: "I spent all my allowance on 9mm shells and floor wax!"

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

That was TOTALLY them... and I love it (it bugs me that fictional characters ALWAYS know exactly the right thing to get, unlike us poor, real mortals).

Poor Jim, his imagination runneth over :)

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Yeah, Jim needs to get a grip. No, Jim, it doesn't mean he wants earrings, it means he thinks Megan would like earrings. Deep breaths, buddy.

[snycock.livejournal.com]

LOL! That was great! I loved how the list told a whole story!

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

I was pleased when that came together. :)
