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.

Our wings are not tired.
Half way done with the Seekret Santa gift. Part 1 shipped directly and my giftee won't know who it is from! The seekret part will be revealed when I ship part 2.
I'm holding off on my verdict on 2004 giving it a few more days to right some wrongs.

Well, it only took me an hour to wrap one half of my giftee's prezzie. It took a couple of false starts before I got things done the way I wanted. I'm very proud of it. The other half is cake. This baby will get in the mail tomorrow!

You are mailing cake and a baby? Cool. Don't forget the airholes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's a dumb idea. The baby will eat the cake.

Babies are pretty resourceful, especially when it comes to cake.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
I got my present from my seekrit santa! I have to say that he or she is SOOOO clever. The return address says the package is from Yor C. Kritsanta. Next year, I'll copy this idea shamelessly.
I'm not going to open the package yet. Instead, I'll savor the deliciousness of having a package and not knowing what's in it. Then, I'll open it with glee on Christmas morning (perhaps very early Christmas morning, after service). It will be my special gift of the day. Yummy!
In a way, it reminds me of the best of Whedon, Minear, et al. The feeling of anticipation reminds me of the feeling I get waiting to see what character that I love will die. Except, no sadness mixed in with the joy at the end.
