I'm nicely relieved that my Secret Santee got both her thingies (Hey Deena!), but nothing from my Secret Santa yet.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

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.

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

Not javachik
I'm skimming like a mad thing, because being on a computer means I'm back at work and wahhhh! I have a ton of work.
Thank you Sekrik Santa Ann W! Ann sent the most gorgeous hand knit socks, striped in gorgeous greens, cream, rust, brown. They're at home, not in front of me, but wow, did I mention hand knit? Really cool. You should see the way the curves are made. I'm a little afraid to actually wear them; they look like fabric art. And THEN, they came in the most amazing fabric wrapping - a beautiful burgundy fabric (is it organza?) scarf, with tiny jewels and beads sewn along the entire end with a colored wire, then gathered into a bunch and tied with a tassled twisted gold cord. It took my breath away, it was so gorgeous and then this beautiful handknit thing inside. Fabulous. Thanks so much! Loved the card, too.
Cards! Sail, I got your card and it's adorable. Kristin, loved your card, too.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Java, I'm so glad you like them!
Also, I forgot to mention in the card that the socks are machine washable/dryable.

Sail, that was one of the most gorgeous cards I've seen this season. Thank you!

Heh. As befits a Slacker Santa, I have bought one thing of several that go in my Santee's gift, but haven't bought the others. And the one thing hasn't actually *arrived* yet...

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I gave up on one and canceled the order, bought something a little different to replace it, finally have the gift all packed up... and I can't find the packing tape. I swear, my santee is going to think no one loves him or her. I hope the package makes up for its tardy arrival.

Oh Lilty, I'm glad you got the package! It got there a lot faster than I was expecting! (whew, APO bails out my tardiness)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
::crosses fingers:: Here's hoping that my secret santa has gotten her gift. Stupid Royal Mail.

Always Anti-fascist!
Thank you to Secret Santa number 1, Lisah from Balmer. Everything you sent is so cute, and you have primo taste in chocolate bars. So glad somebody in my fake hometown loves me, even if I'm strange enough to wish they made Bodymore Murderland T-shirts(oops there goes that Chamber of Commerce thing) "The Greatest City in America" is probably a friendlier choice! And the Hawaiian socks! Very fashion-forward.

Punishingly Intricate
YAY!!!! I was so excited when I got the name of my santee from Nilly. I hope the shirt fits. I couldn't not get it.
You may not be able to tell, for my handwriting is shameful, but I put my return address as B(ody)more, MD.
The chocolate is from my friend's shoe and chocolate store (Ma Petite Shoe) mentioned in Laura Lippman's last book.
I'm so excited you finally got it!!!
