Goodbye and Good Riddance 2004: Well, I Wasn't Expecting That.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2004? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm home! I have opened my box! I am in love with beathen!
Ok, first of all...scroll back a bit and see her responses to my "should I, or shouldn't I" along with the tag conversation. Now add that she was my seekrit santa!
Inside the big box was a beautiful gold wrapped box with a sweet Christmas card. I have discovered the beathen had an abnormal fixation with tape, by the way. In the box were the following...
A votive candle set
4 vanilla votives (yum)
A bath pillow - something I have been WANTING
A net/silk sponge
A small champagne bottle filled with vanilla bubble bath
A list pad set in a beautiful green with a fern image. Very tranquil.
While I have the house to myself, I may have to put each of these to use...a wonderfully relaxing bubble bath, with candles flickering, and then making my list of presents I still have to find.
Squeeeeeeeee! Thanks beathen, and thanks everyone who encouraged me to open my prezzie!

What a neat present, Lexine!

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
You're welcome, lexine! I had so much fun trying to figure out what you wanted for Christmas and I thought "everyone loves a nice bath with candles burning all around." I had a hard time not posting when you said you got the box, though. Have fun!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I received my box yesterday! (Some slacker you are, whoever you are.) I've decided I'm not allowed to open it at least until I send mine off, which should be this weekend.

Brenda - that worked out for me - I had just gotten mine off in the post when I found out Beathen's prezzie was waiting at home for me. I just hope my giftee will like her stuff.

I got an email saying my present might be late, which is okay. I know how hectic this time of year can get. It was just easier to do the Secret Santa gift first and get it mailed. (I could've mailed it before Thanksgiving but that would have been WAY too early.)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I'm planning to get my present sent off this weekend; the main gift arrived today, but there's another, smaller piece I'll have to get together later in the week.
Yay for the First Secret Santa Present of the Season!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Am I among the first to report receiving a Secret Santa gift? Yes, I am!
And the wonderful thing I got was... a Due South script! Yes -- "Victoria's Secret", no less. So perfect for me -- seeing the actual script (yes, there are color-coded correction pages in it) is so damn neat!
So here's some very sincere thanks to Lysana, who rocks!
