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…

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The first half of 2004 was pretty spectacular for me - got married, got my MBA, got religion, got to meet some Buffistas, all wonderful.
The second half has been a lot of waiting and preparation and more waiting, but nothing particularly bad, so on balance, I'm gonna pronounce this a good to excellent year.
I am really looking forward to 2005, when I think some of the things I'm waiting for are actually going to happen.

Okay, I'm getting worried. No word from my Santee. And no box for me, but I haven't had time to check through all my mail to see if they tried to deliver it while I was gone.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Okay, I'm getting worried. No word from my Santee.
Same here. I'm a wee bit worried that he/she might have been all meh about the gift since it's socks--handknit, but socks all the same.

Tomorrow (on my honor) the seekrit santa gift out.
I was going to do the final wrapping,etc last night but I got distracted by my shiny new computer.

Punishingly Intricate
Every time I see a new post here I think, "Maybe Santee received the gift!" but no. not yet. Next time I'm flying whereever and handing it to the person. I have no patience.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Anne, if it eases your worrying at all, I would have been totally psyched to receive your whitefonted gift.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
If the giftee is me, I've been sick and so didn't go back to DC when I'd planned. I'll be able to pick up my mail tomorrow morning.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm gonna love it and squeeze it and call it Fred. Ok, maybe not Fred, but still.
My Secret Santa (I think I know who it is, based on geography and the getting me this but I don't want to say till I'm more sure) got me an Incredibles T-shirt. The one with just the logo on the front, which I wanted very much and is sofriggincool.
THANK YOU

C.Kritsanta struck again.
I am totally bowled over -- it seemed more than enough bounty when Lysana sent me a Due South script, which would have made it a grand year present-wise. But when I got home from travelling last night, there was an innocent little package with a return address of "C.Kritsanta, 123 Foamy Lane, Buffistaville, CA" which I wasn't expecting in the least.
Nor was I expecting to open it and find not just a beautiful little cat-picture box, but a gorgeous cat ring and a scarab bracelet!
Here are the pictures that I posted to my lj: [link]
Thank you, whoever you are. This put the cherry on top of my holiday Sundae.
