I have been terribly slow in posting this because my secret santa gift arrived just before I got sick. My Secret Santa (who a little bird told me is the lovely SA) sent me three boxes of one of my favorite brands of tea. I love Whittards tea and I have never found a place to buy it near here. I can usually only get it in the UK, and I had already run out of the ones I bought on my last trip. I will be hoarding and savouring my lovely tea. Thank you so much!

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.

Speaking of belated thank-you cards, I have yet to write a single one for Christmas. I should probably get on that, huh.

Yay! I'd been wondering if it had arrived in a timely fashion, as I mailed it out a month ago. The same little bird told me you were fond of tea, and I thought, "What better country to get it in?" I'm glad you like it, especially that it's your favorite brand.

My mail was held while I was away for the holidays, but I've picked it up now and how fantastic is my gift? Pretty fantastic. Not only is the necklace lovely, it's on a ribbon so I can set the length, which is so useful for a short chick like me. And I love the ornament, which is funkily Buffista and has been given a place of honor on my computerside bulletin board, right under one of my Buffista business cards.
Thank you so much!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
As much as I love being blamed for 'em, I am not the perpetrator of the business cards. It does make me happy that they've made other people happy, though.

I am wondering which Beth sent Kate her gift.

Our wings are not tired.
Whee! I am home from the great snowy north and found in my mail stacks an envelope from C. Kritsanta. Precious turtle earrings and necklace were found inside. So sweet. Thank you C. whoever you may be.

Er, have I completely humiliated myself?
Why yes, I have! Well, not quite. But I had skipped right past the handle to the name. Sparky! Lovely necklace, pretty ornament, thank you very much, will go back and fix original post.

Um, thank you cards? Eek!

Katie! You're welcome! I'm glad you liked the necklace! I almost liked the ribbon as much as the glass, myself, so I have an extra length of it.
I cannot believe how long it took to get to you! They didn't even try to deliver until the 27th!
I am wondering which Beth sent Kate her gift.
