Aw, that's so very nice of you. Yes, they have been very good this year.

Tentative gift list based on entries so far:

George W. doll #1: dansangel (very good poem, needs doll to add to shrine)
Ann Coulter: John Huang2 (just required to give this to John)
Rumsfield: Aquamarine (very good poem)
Ann Coulter #2: Dutchess (away on holiday stuff, but no doubt her husband will adore her for snagging one of these!)
George W. doll #2: Mama_Bear
Billie: taking a pass, already so blessed
Best Entry: Dixie Sass (best poem so far -- sorry Pippin, yours was so good too, jwfiv -- hey, you won the last contest, I don't care how clever your poem is!). So Dixie gets the 2004 Quilt Engagement Calendar. Which is very nice.
Honorable Mention: St.Louie1: For the picture of the wolves looking for wolfie, the RNC calendar. (OK, it's not even a poem, but he's a sentimental favorite with a hurt knee.)

But you all should know it's early: we haven't heard from LadyX yet.
