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.
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

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.

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.

Oh thank god. I thought I was the only one who hadn't sent their gift yet.
Christmas 2004 was really good to me. Amazon.com's wish list totally worked as a way to give Dad suggestions. He got me Jon Stewart's America the book, which totally blew me away because Dad's very conservative. And Mom rocked there were several small packages to unwrap and all told I had enough Christmas money to get a computer. I bought my last computer in 2000 (I think). Mom's original idea was to hide the gifts and leave clues, but then she just put a rhyme on one card which led us to the "life size" Raggedy Ann and Andy my brother and I got when we were little. The envelope was inside their clothes so my brother and I had to feel up Andy and Ann, which led to a lot of jokes.
