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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

we were talking about stained glass and I love their stuff.

Is soooooo pretty. Thank you! Yay!

I love the new post office machines. They are wonderful and efficient and mine is actually in the post office, so it gets emptied often. (The USPS rep who was out there helping people navigate the machine said that he's emptying it an average of 5 times per 8-hour shift.) Given that I have to go to the P.O. every single day for work, I appreciate any streamlining of the process.

Our wings are not tired.

My secret santa gift is going to be delayed going out because Kara stole part of it yesterday and I have yet to find it.

Giggle. You will probably be able to use this excuse for years to come.

My dear Santee - I forgot to enclose a note, but you will know it is from me from the return address, duh. You will get the package tomorrow if FedEx doesn't lie.

It was so much fun to shop for you. With many of my relatives and friends I have no clue what to give, but I had to restrain myself because there were so many things I saw that I thought you would enjoy. It was indeed my pleasure.

Now you will have to scroll back when you get your package!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Man, that link? Anytime I feel cranky, I look at the Rose du Monde. That has to be the most beautiful stained glass window on earth.

Ginger, one of my best buddies has one of Mucha's ladies tattooed on her ankle and a third of the way up her leg. It's bloody gorgeous.

Kate, did the music I sent you arrive yet?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Oh! Yes, and I meant to mention it right away. Thank you!!! I listened to Wintergrace last night while wrapping CDs. It's really beautiful. I totally did the happy dance when I got them. Thanks!

Recommended for anyone who has burned out on all the shite stores keep playing: Loreena McKinnit, A Winter Cafe (pretty sure that's the title). Bone-chillingly beautiful Christmas covers.

Loreena McKennitt has two wintry albums, A Winter's Garden and... something else. I agree, they're both gorgeous. Sadly, I only had them on tape, and many of my tapes got lost in the maelstrom of moving, and I can't find either one anymore.
