Got a Gift In the Mail Today

And the thing came in a veritable Santa's Bag!

Here you can see the game I got next to the bag it came in.

So far we've had so much fun with the bag we haven't even opened the box yet.

OK, that is too cute. I have 2 year old twins and they always like the box/bag better then the gift. It's nice to see "adults" with the same whimsy!

Erin said...

Haha, nice! Just like a little kid who plays with the box and ignores the 100-dollar flashing toy inside! I must say, that is one awesome bag!!

Ricky said...

dude, that game is awesome. OPEN IT UP!

Alisha Rene' said...

HIGH-LARITY ENSUES!!!! That's the type of bag my MIL uses for X-Mas gifts, hehehe.

Petra said...

Christmas comes early in Hawaii!

I would have been excited about the bag, too. Of course, I like all kinds of containers, baskets, jars, boxes. When The Container Store opened, I thought I was going to go into anaphylactic shock! LOL

Enjoy,
: ) P

I once got a stand mixer from a website that starts with "A" and ends with "mazon".... came in a HUGE purple bag, I think we could have put our car in that bag... that's what you get when you click the box that asks you if you'd like gift wrapping, no matter what size gift it is they stuff it in Andre the Giant's laundry bag and send it on its way.

I get that way with large boxes...The only thing is I've got a bunch of people that would probably want to tape the box up behind me and ship me off to Abu Dhabi.

Movie Star Wife said...

Ha! Cute! You put a smile on my face today. Have a good one.

Mandazoid said...

Huge bags/boxes like that can be so much fun. :o)

You should save it and use it as an actual Santa Bag this year at Christmas!

Topanga said...

It's a throat-cinching Snuggie! No chance of that slipping off your shoulders.

Love those Target gift wrap bags. The large items from my baby registry came in those! Will definitely be regifting the bags this holiday!

Heather Cherry said...

You got Beth for Christmas?

Unknown said...

Several of our wedding gifts came in these bags, and we still use the bags to store things in. Guess Target wants to spread a little Christmas cheer year round!

Unknown said...

Papa's got a brand new bag.

Lynn Faruque said...

There you guys are!! I wondered how you were doing.

Can't wait to see what you do for your costumes.

Christina Bauer said...

Isn't that the way it always works out? More fun with the package than the actual thing. Same thing happens with huge boxes for fridges...so much fun to play in and with!

Tammy said...

Warning Children should not play in bags. :)
Have fun with your new Toys!
You are both too funny.

Unknown said...

Love the creativity you two show for every day things. How is your herb garden coming along? We have two pineapple plants growing in pots on our fireplace hearth now. Had to pull them in early last week as the temperatures were going to drop--and did they ever! Loved to plant the tops of the pineapples we ate there in HI in our garden out front. Good foliage!

Unknown said...

This is clearly a sign that you are to be the new Santa. Better get crackin' on those toys!

Ezequiel said...

Love Christmas

Checkie said...

If I behave myself and act like a good little boy, is there any chance I could get you to put Emile De Ravin in that bag and bring her to me on Christmas Eve?

JohnLeMay said...

They should have a deluxe edition called, "Big-Ass Bucks"

James Hernandez said...

Jorge,

I didn't realize that you give coal in your stockings (as per the last picture). :-)

peaq said...

Adorable and funny! Love it :)

Paul Spooner said...

Hey, you're not the real Santa! (are you)

AlYaGotADo said...

Jorge,

I know you are an animal lover and will appreciate this. I had to put a sweet 3 month old kitten to sleep today due to illness. It broke my heart. Sitting hear in sad silence I clicked on your blog and said out loud, "Oh good timing Jorge". Your comments and pics of the red bag thingy made me laugh out loud. Thank you so much for making my sad day a little brighter. Love you alot.

Dr Mum said...

When you having some kids of your own ... you guys would be awesome parents...the evidence is on this blog all the time.

Reminds me of a story I heard years ago from speaker that was telling stories about pranks he did in collage. He had an extremely large duffel bag and a very short exchange student room mate friend.

They would put the room mate in the duffel bag and leave him on the door step in front of some dorm rooms in the womens building. Knock knock, run away, the door opens, the guy in the bag starts meowing hissing and squirming like a trapped wild animal......

Yeah, ya get the idea. ;)

Therapeutic Ramblings said...

It's like playing with the big cardboard boxes that appliances came in....the fun would last for days!

*~Dani~* said...

I definitely would have had to jump in that bag to take a picture. Love it!

Judy in Indiana said...

Wow. I would love to get stuff in a bag like that. Great gift wrapping is the key to lots of good thoughts about the present inside.

Unknown said...

Be careful with those bags! Watch the Japanese movie Audition to find out why.

Roxanna said...

There was this guy who believed very much in true love and decided to take his time to wait for his right girl to appear. He believed that there would definitely be someone special out there for him, but none came.
Every year at Christmas, his ex-girlfriend would return from Vancouver to look him up. He was aware that she still held some hope of re-kindling the past romance with him. He did not wish to mislead her in any way. nike shoxsSo he would always get one of his girl friends to pose as his steady whenever she came back. That went on for several years and each year, the guy would get a different girl to pose as his romantic interest. So whenever the ex-girlfriend came to visit him, she would be led into believing that it was all over between her and the guy. nike womens shoes The girl took all those rather well, often trying to casually tease him about his different girlfriends, or so, as it seemed! In fact, the girl often wept in secret whenever she saw him with another girl, but she was too proud to admit it. Still, every Christmas, she returned, hoping to re-kindle some form of romance. But each time, she returned to Vancouver feeling disappointed.
Finally she decided that she could not play that game any longer. puma mens shoes Therefore, she confronted him and professed that after all those years, he was still the only man that she had ever loved. mens puma shoesAlthough the guy knew of her feelings for him, he was still taken back and have never expected her to react that way. He always thought that she would slowly forget about him over time and come to terms that it was all over between them. nike shox Although he was touched by her undying love for him and wanted so much to accept her again, he remembered why he rejected her in the first place-she was not the one he wanted. nike 360 air maxSo he hardened his heart and turned her down cruelly. nike running shoesSince then, three years have passed and the girl never return anymore. They never even wrote to each other. NIKE air shoes The guy went on with his life..... still searching for the one but somehow deep inside him, he missed the girl.
On the Christmas of 1995, he went to his friend's party alone. "Hey, how come all alone this year? Where are all your girlfriends? What happened to that Vancouver babe who joins you every Christmas?", asked one of his friend.nike air max He felt warm and comforted by his friend's queries about her, still he just surged on.
Then, he came upon one of his many girlfriends whom he once requested to pose as his steady. He wanted so much to ignore her ..... not that he was impolite,wholesale nike shoes but because at that moment, he just didn't feel comfortable with those girlfriends anymore. nike shox torchIt was almost like he was being judged by them. The girl saw him and shouted across the floor for him. Unable to avoid her, he went up to acknowledge her.
"Hi......how are you? Enjoying the party?" the girl asked.
"Sure.....yeah!", he replied.
She was slightly tipsy..... must be from the whiskey on her hand.
