I am reluctant to begin.

The necessary words seem to escape me when I need them most.

As I sit here in this quiet place, I find it difficult to express the entirety of my emotions. I fear that no matter what I write, you will not fully comprehend the impact your thoughtfulness has had on my heart. Could it be that the words escape me? Or is it that the act itself is indescribable? Nevertheless, please accept my humble attempt at expressing gratitude.

You overwhelm me, yet again. Your generosity has renewed my spirit. A gift I will treasure indefinitely.

A kind gesture made its way to my heart. A collection of thoughts, images, photographs, sculptures, paintings, drawings, stories, dirty stories, videos, memories, inspirations, songs, dances, a trip around the world, a mansion, a hand, recipes, poems, puzzles, riddles, and rhymes...they are all amazing. I will spend time admiring each gift, removing them from their boxes, and finding just the right place to keep them.

Soon my gratitude will transcend the buzz, and eventually, I believe you will each hear me. You always do.

Thank you. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.

p.s. are we in Texas, again?

mayo. sit down and talk. have you had a nice day today?

Jennicula said...

Merry Christmas Mayo. I'm glad you liked the presents. We only wish goodness on you.

May you have a wonderful holiday full of laughter, good friends, family, and love.

Hugs from Jennicula ;)

Did you get tired of us taking about G-Way's boner?

i went christmas shopping and nearly died. shoppers are mad at this time of year

Fimble Star said...

you mention buzz again. why that word?

Hey, good to read you, the other room was a little crowded.

You shouldn't be reluctant to begin: what you said, I'm sure, means so much to everyone here. We're all just glad that you enjoyed that stuff. Thank you for looking at it. It's cool that you got to see everything.

LOL, you said "boxes."

I don't get this "texas thing" and I feel retarded. Then again it's stupid o' cock. I have no excuse. The Texas thing?

Hey, I guess we won't hear from you before Crimbo (I love that word) so, Merry Crimbo. Hope you get lots of other prezzies, too, like the kind you get to open (throw the paper in a wad on the floor) and then later, when you're by yourself, just chill out and look at all the loot you hauled. Aren't the holidays awesome? ^_^

We love you, Mayo. I'm glad that you get that, no matter what.

LOL, you said "boxes."

Merry Christmas Mayo. And everyone. I am glad you are with your family Mayo and that you seemed to enjoy it. The presents everyone made (as I've only just had time to peek at them) were just lovvely. So much thought and effort. Really a gift in my mind. Lots of care in this blog.

I actually cannot stay on much longer. Have so much baking to do and it is after 11pm here. Am in a bit of trouble actually. So goodnight or goodmorning to everyone. It was really wonderful talking to you all. Very nice treat and so different from Bn. Makes me feel much better jsut knowing this place is here.

Hello to All!

Mayonaise,
You may be reluctant, but I do not know where to begin…so much.

To Everyone:
Please accept this small token gift.

(join me in this toast, by holding up your glass of cheer)

KINDNESS

May you always be able to truly recognize it
Continue to feel it, even outside of this light
Fully accept it, when in need and despair
And like so many here
Unthinkably and lavishly, give it

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all
(clink)

Thank you, to anyone who visited or thought of me. I will talk to you later and fill you in.

By the way...I like Texas (above and below) and all that it implies.

Goodnite my friends

mayo, dear friend,

(for that is what you have become, haven't you?)

i am so pleased that you enjoyed all our gifts. it was so much fun to be a part of, and i had so much fun taking those pictures for you. my neighbors think i'm someone to avoid now, but...

*shrugs&grins*

reading your post, reading your lovely heartfelt words -- it's more than a thank you, you know. it's a gift, too. there is no place else where this sort of exchange could happen, i think. where strangers could come together and become a family, as we truly all are.

i was just thinking about this today. thinking about how there are so many things i don't know about you or the people who gather here, and yet, those details are somehow irrelevant, because here we know each other by our hearts.

it can be confusing. it defies the usual definitions of friendship. i may never be able to explain it to someone who hasn't experienced this, but the gifts i have received through this blog are immeasurable.

i grew up in a stingy household. i knew i was loved, without a doubt, but it was never expressed through hugs or other displays. i grew up learning that you just hid that sort of thing. you just kept how you felt to yourself.

but here, i have learned that opening up and showing your heart is the most rewarding thing you can do, even if it's also the most frightening. i've said things here that i never could say to my natural family, talked about fears and hopes that usually only found expression in my private journals, and have even become accustomed to telling people i love them! (oh my!)

at any point, you could have stopped this. but you're as drawn into the threads that connect us here as any of us. i never thought that would be possible.

saying "thank you" is so inadequate, but it's all i have.
so:

thank you, mayonaise.

enjoy your holiday, and your family, and know yourself for what you are: a well-loved man.

with much love,
-bobbi

My Dear Mayo,
I know you may not take the time to check in here, for the next few days.
And in all the hustle and bustle i missed the opportunity to drop off a present.

But let me share with you my gift that i received in your blog.

In this world of loss and despair, in what i call life, i came upon a blog, set down and started to read.
Over the next three months, i have laughed and cried, and found new and dear friends.

With so many deaths in my life, the last one being my only brother, it left me empty, alone, and with out any family.

I would come here, pull up a chair, and watched others talk, and after awhile, i opened up, started to laugh with them, and slowly saw that others on here, had problems, i tried to talk a little about mine, but found it too hard and hurtful to put on a post.

So i told myself, i would come on here and just try to make others smile and laugh, and maybe heal my own heart in the process, i would be that ray of sunshine.

And it worked, I use to come home from work, and dabble with the idea that life is just too hard, and i was too weak for any more of its shit, it had taken my family, my friends, my heart, and then it wanted my last breath.

On here i found hope, i found faith, and friendship, in here i did not feel alone anymore, i started to heal.

My gift to you, is a thank you. it's all i have, for it was you who opened up this blog, and you who brought me here.

They gave me my life back, who could give a more perfect gift in a time of despair, it shows how much this place means to so many lost souls, who found friends and for me, a new family.

I am all so blessed and lucky to have a friend to come down and spend Christmas with me, she brought with her, her whole little family, her husband and kids, just packed up and came here, so i would not be alone.

I am so blessed with this place and i thank you so much for allowing me to post.

one last gift Mayo,

I pass from my hand to yours, the gift you and everyone here gave to me, faith, hope, and friendship and most of all love.

Merry Christmas Mayo,
and
My whole blog family, I hope Christmas, it is as full of joy as mine is.

Thank you all.

Mayo, just popped by on this quiet Christmas Eve morning to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas.

To SS, Faith, Hope, Love, the true reason for the season.

To the rest of the family I would like to wish you all a Joyous Christmas and an Enlightening New Year.



I feel like the Aunt who only visits a few times a year, but who loves you with all her heart, and you know it.

Mayo,

Happy Christmas Eve! I'm so glad you are doing well. For once, I think we both might be doing just fine at the same time. This is definitely a magical time...a time where we are able to push all the crap away. Feels so good, doesn't it?

Mayo, I owe you just as many thank you's back as you think you owe us. Who knew that we all needed this place as much as you did...I'm so glad we have all come to realize what a special thing we have here.

So thank you again, Mayo, for creating this place and allowing us to come in and hang out with you.


I hope you thoroughly enjoy yourself these next few days and have yourself a merry, relaxing but fun-filled holiday!

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. So nice to be back in my corner again!

Mere Kirihimete!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

The global Christmas kick off started in NZ over 3 hours ago, and across the ditch, Australia is about to join in.

*chrissy hugs for trans-tasman cousies Cupcake and Ergoproxy*

My elf work is now done and it is time to kick back and relax and give pause to reflect on what christmas day means to us here in NZ.

In our country 45% of the population possesses no religion or faith, yet we still celebrate Christmas day.

For non-believers here it has become a celebration of universal values - of kindness, and family. We give others our time which is such an important gift in these modern, fast days.

As it is summer, many of us will be having BBQ's at the beach, hangi's with our whanau, or sharing traditional feasts around noisy crowded tables, harking back to our British forebears.

Whether secular or religious, or on our own or with family, we relax and enjoy the festive break.

May you all have as good a time as we have here,and ponder at the madness that has nuts-as NZers cooking turkeys in summertime.

Hello and thank you for your thank yous. That was a weird sentence. Anyway, I'm glad you are happy about your gifts. I have to admit I was a little reluctant to leave mine but I made myself do it. Funny thing is when I told my husband everyone was leaving gifts for Mayo he asked what I left. Well I told him. He just smiled. Yeah he knows what mood that puts me in so it's all good for him. See marriage can still be fun after 20 some years.
Have a wonderful holiday. Please enjoy every minute. Love you.

Oh and I LOVED your P.S.

It'd not easy for me to find the words sometimes to express my feelings (except anger, that one's very easy for me), so just keep that in mind. I honestly meant every word. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. If you were here with me, I'd squeeze you so hard!!!

Hugs and kisses from now until New Years!

XOXO,
Princess S&V20

..and that would be *filled not fiiled.

Well Mayo,

Merry Christmas to you.
It is the 25th here, and I'm waiting up trying to catch Santa coming down the chimney.

He's taking his good old time.

*PP ponders whether she may have been bad*

*PP thinks maaaybe...*

I'd like to thank you Mayo for keeping your house open to us all. You are a very gracious host and I do wonder sometimes what you get in return out of this. From your blog today it is warming to see it is something we have all come to realise. The caring, the thought, the humour and sometimes the sorrow, keeps binding us all here making this a very special place.

And now I'm rambling.
(blames the e-nog)

p.s. are we in Texas, again?

We are rarely out of Texas around here. Below belt buckles discussions and all. Elena is quite good on that topic from what I read.

*didn't peek at Elena's gift for mayo, honestly - fingers crossed behind back*

Anyway goodnight to all and to all a goodnight.

Merry Christmas and Yappy Holidays to all of BlogBelieve - family, Mayo, SS, anons,and lurkers!

Love
PP

MayoNAISE,
Thanks for the new post. I was beginning to think you kicked me out on purpose. (KIDDING) I'm happy you enjoyed everyone's gifts. I don't think I can post mine. Not to be too greedy, but where's OUR gift from you? ^_- (KIDDING AGAIN) Anyways, I hope you continue to spend your holidays relaxing, and with the ones you love.

As I sit here in this quiet place, I find it difficult to express the entirety of my emotions. I fear that no matter what I write, you will not fully comprehend the impact your thoughtfulness has had on my heart.

My dear, we somehow always manage to comprehend everything you say, or at least we think we do. Don't hold back, just let your heart spill out. We're here to listen, to understand, and accept what you have to say.

You overwhelm me, yet again. Your generosity has renewed my spirit. A gift I will treasure indefinitely.

When you bolded renewed my spirit., I asked myself, "Is Mayonaise his own ghost he is battling with?". Could be my dear. I could be wrong.

A kind gesture made its way to my heart. A collection of thoughts, images, photographs, sculptures, paintings, drawings, stories, dirty stories, videos, memories, inspirations, songs, dances, a trip around the world, a mansion, a hand, recipes, poems, puzzles, riddles, and rhymes...they are all amazing. I will spend time admiring each gift, removing them from their boxes, and finding just the right place to keep them.

They really are amazing aren't they? Not as amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing as some of the people I have 'met' on here, but keep in mind, everyone put a lot of thought and love into their gifts to you, so treasure them always. How about keeping them in a folder entitled "FROM MY LOVELIES"? Just a thought for you.

Soon my gratitude will transcend the buzz, and eventually, I believe you will each hear me. You always do.

We will hear you. The question is, do you hear us?

Thank you. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.

p.s. are we in Texas, again?


No THANK YOU, Mr. Mayo Man. I'm trying to figure out your P.S. Those are always toe stumpers. Care to help a girl out? =]

All my love, and Merry Christmas;

Mayo, I am so glad you found our gifts and that you enjoy them. We all wanted to bring a smile to your face and it looks like we've done that.

I know when you created this blog, you never dreamed that it would become what it has. I hope you know that these gifts come from the heart and are a big thank you for bringing us all together.

Merry Christmas Mayo!

Magic Pie said...

PH, everytime Mayo writes a post, it's a gift. It's another place to express his emotions and a place for us to gather.

JocelynHolly said...

I know Magic Pie, I was just kidding. =]

MERRY CHRISTMAS SWEETIE!! *HUG*

Magic Pie said...

Merry Christmas to you as well PH!!!!

Everyone: I hope you're giving yourself and other bellyaches these next few days over the laughter ringing about your life and soul.

I wish the very best, the very creamiest, the mostest fun EVER for your holidays!

JocelynHolly said...

Merry Christmas GV!! *HUG*

Vivienne said...

DARLINGS!

Merry Christmas!

I had to pop in, brimming with love, so much love!

I have to say all your gifts and Mayo's latest entry have added to this merry xmas I'm having, completely unexpected.

Anonymous said...

Now, Oscar.

You have been a spectacular, odd presence in my life these past few months. I go from flabbergasted to delight to despair back to bewilderment all in the span of days, all provoked by you.

And though I have been very melancholy towards you this past week, I want you to know I still thank God every day for having you in my life.

You are an integral piece to some puzzle hanging in the ethereal, right out of arm's reach. Even when I try and jump really, really high. And that's okay. I have come to appreciate what you give for what it is, and nothing more.

That is a gift immeasurable. You have given me some peace in regards to an issue that I thought would remain forever completely unresolved.

(Not that I don't still pray it will be resolved, but anyway :p)

Your ability to say so much so succinctly.

You Are Beautiful, My Love.

You are Conflicted, Obtuse, Talented, Complicated, Resonant, Shy, Megalomaniacal, Empathic, Sweet, Frustrating, Kind, Intolerable, Dizzying, Huggable, Snoggable, Exasperating.

But above all,
You Are Undeniably Beautiful,
Mi Luna Chispeante.

May you have a wondrous holiday season.

MAYO:

What happened to our times coinciding, my man? I'm always so sleepy when you post now.

Do you know how ironic your first sentence is? I live that every day. I relate to you now, and I like that. You feel human to me. I asked you way back when, probably when I was mad at you ;), to just come here and show us that there was an actual heart beating inside of you.

You've done that for me. And I'm taking it and running with it.

This has cemented the fact that this place, this Mayonaise place that you've created, is a two-way street. We give, you give back. It's not always easy for me to see because I have a tendency to overlook important things, but I feel it all through this post. You've renewed my spirit.

Mayo, I only want to thank you for your generous hospitality and your thoughtful words. You didn't have to do this. You didn't have to lets us stay here. I hope that we've helped in some way.

All of these lovely people are a lifeline.

Okay, I think I'm done. I just want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. You know where I'll be. If you have the time, you should drop in and tell us your one favorite gift you recieved, tangible or not. Maybe we could do the same for you.

Anonymous said...

Seriously, I've already put on about five. With being out of Kung Fu for about two weeks (W!T!F!) and my propensity towards eating everything in my goddamn path, it's ridiculous.

Anonymous said...

Hi, Mustard!

Lol, this is irony:

Could it be that the words escape me?

Umm, no? ^_~

Original Punk J said...

Dearest Mayo,

Thank you, brother. Thank you for all you do, and all you've done, and all you've become. The greatest gift I could receive from you has already arrived:

You are growing, as a person, as a man. Your faith is returning. Your capacity to love, and to demonstrate that love. Your understanding of others. Your widening of vision. Your willingness to accept, and implement, wisdom from others. Your dawning realization that the life you so studiously avoid at times is right there, waiting for you to join in.

Mayo, I love you. So very much. The gifts L and I left, they are but a tiny reflection of the depth of our emotion.

I pray that you and your family will have a Christmas that reflects the beauty that has blossomed within your soul.

Merry Christmas!
J

Vivienne said...

Oh Kapunua, tis the season to eat everything that stands still long enough!
It's a constant thing....
You have something sweet so you need something salty.... then you need something sweet, and so on.
It's a vicious cycle!

Hi Mustard darling, And J! *hugs*

sdock10 said...

Hey All,

I'm hanging out in my corner. I've missed it so much, so forgive me if I just shout it from the rooftops!!! It's so good to be HOME!!

I hope I don't get kicked out early tonight!

Mayo, I love you, I love this place, and I love my family here!

Thank you!

Original Punk J said...

SS, my precious,

Thank you too. Thank you for being the man you are. I have no words for what I have found within your heart.

In all the world, there is no one like you. Our friendship is something I treasure. You are able to take a simple word of comfort and imbue it with meaning so real that it echoes forever. I know that you are not perfect, no one is, and neither am I. But I know in my heart that you are what makes my light shine.

May you have the most joyous of Christmases.

love, hope, faith, peace, happiness
J

*Received. I can't believe I did that.


Hey everyone! Hanging out at DMs so we won't bog down Mayo's for later on. Bloggers still going to be a HUGE, MASSIVE, GAPING, asshole. So, I'm going to try and remedy that before it starts.

Hello to Cupcake, Kapunua, and OPJ!

Vivienne said...

We love you too sdock!

And you J, L too, my love to you both.

Uhhhaa and I'm sorry, but who ever said some one here look like her, WRONG you do not. I dont' rememeber which one of you but I saw the pic and lol, how about no!! Lyns is funny sexy and SMART Of course she is a feminist she has a JOB, she plays in a band with MEN what part of feminist do you not understand!!! So stick with you FAKE Gerard because the REAL gerard would not bother to look at your shitty lives and gift. Lol WHAT gifts there arent' even any.

Also they are both cHristian, you are a bunch of UNCHRISTIAN people to think the way you do. Get off the bog of FAKE Gerard and find GOD.

OK OK I typed too long haha but I had to say it. Peopel are sick of you!! Sick of you pretending that Gerard has time to be nice to you. Just look at what he has at hoime. ANd try to tell me he would waste his time on you.

Original Punk J said...

Hello Cupcake, and Mustard, and K, and GV, and Kass, and everyone else that's here or been here or coming on!

I'm just in for a moment. I had to write to Mayo after that fantastic post. Four months ago he never would have said anything like this.

I'll be back later, tonight probably. Got some laundry to catch up on and gifts to wrap and all kinds of things.

Everyone eat a lot today and get miserable-sick and love every second of it! And then we'll do it again tomorrow! YAY! Christmas ham, yummy.

Catch you later, kiddies! Maybe we'll see Mayo Claus tonight, hunh? And his jappy SS elf? Come on, guys, our stockings are ready to be stuffed! ;) heeheeheeheehee

Ok, sweetcakes, take that back right now. I am most certainly a Christian. Can't say the same for everyone here. How Christian is it of you to come on here on Christmas Eve and talk trash like you did? Or do you think God finds that acceptable? It's not ok for us to talk about things, but it is for you to do so. That, my uneducated little Vulture, is the epitome of "hypocritical".

Merry CHRISTmas to you.

Oh J, she kicks the ass!

First thing's first.

Mayonaise, buddy. Thank you so much for this post. It's made me all happy and giddy and warm inside. Lame, right? I was smiling through the entire thing. I know what you're trying to say, love. I've felt the same while writing my thoughts out for my Christmas present. No words can ever describe how grateful I am for having met all of you guys. You're all very dear to my heart.

I'm glad to see you've enjoyed your gifts. They were incredible, weren't they? By the way, the dirty story was for the freaking win lolz.

Merry Christmas, and thank you once again.

Shitsubou Shita, I hope you're having the time of your life, my dear. Enjoy every moment. Thank you as well. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Anon :)


May you find it in your heart to be a civilized human being. And may you be blessed.

Don't rain on this parade. And don't come in here uninvited mucking up the place with all of your links that no one's gonna even C&P.

Let us have our time with Mayo, who I may say IS NOT GERARD WAY. He's Mayo. Now, step down off your high horse, and trot on out.

Mustard, always so eloquent!.....

The ever-famous "YER JUZT JEHLUZZZZZ" argument. Apologies. I cannot take you even the slightest bit seriously. I want to 'do' her? Now I'm certain I'm conversing with a 12 year old.

Here's the thing. THIS IS NOT GERARD WAY'S BLOG. WE KNOW THIS. If this is all you're here for, get the hell out. We don't need petty children like you here.

You pity me? I pity you. You're the one who's searching for pictures of a woman you've only ever heard of four months ago, obsessing over ever minor detail. You know nothing of her. She's funny? She's bright? You don't know this.

And for the love of god, look up the word 'feminist' will you?

capture this void said...

Hello Cupcake, and Merry Christmas love. I hope you're well and happy, yes?

Anonymous said...

Lyn-Z fan Anonymous I partly agree with you. I also don't see any resemblance between her and Kapunua. If you want to see pictures of her just go to her lj. Think "eliza with a live journal" and you get the picture.

THe rest of you are alright mostly.
