Resolution for 2005 - I will never, ever, ever, color my hair myself again. Never. Ever. Really
See, I've started 2005 by finding multiple white hairs in my several inch roots. So I've decided I really need to dye my hair again!!
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 sent off my SS gift a week ago via Priority Mail. To date, I haven't heard a peep from my giftee. Even if it wasn't perfect, I'd like to know if it got there.

Dear SecritSanta from Oakland,
Wow, are you generous! Made my Textwhore's heart leap just a bit more by sending:
Cobain's journals.
The latest Jonathan Lethem
And the beginning of Sandman.
I won't need reading material until Saint Patrick's Day after getting so much to read this Christmas. Thank you!(I'm not sure which of the SF posse you are, and you didn't put a card in, but thanks again!)
I think the mail is being exceptionally slow this year.

I just tried my very first Lush bath bomb ever and needed to come thank Raquel one more time. You are truly the best Seekrit Santa that ever was!!!
The only time I colored my hair, no one noticed. It did hide the random white strands, so I probably ought to do it again.
I think that this is the thank-you thread for holiday presents (still wondering if some things mailed have arrived, myself). It works for senders and receivers, is a good place to get ideas for next year, and where you can get a warm glowy feeling in your heart for all Buffistas by reading about others' exchanges.
That's fine, but I happen to think that it's nice to write a little note. I love to get unexpected personal mail.

Oh good, I'm not the only person feeling paranoid about that. Well, not good because I would rather no one else has those thoughts, but it's kind of reassuring to not be the only one.
I keep meaning to write some sort of '2004 in JilliLand' thing, but all I manage to write is 'Meh. One step forward, two steps back, and I hate being told to be patient' before I get exasperated and stop writing.
I haven' received my Sekrit Santa present either.
EEEEE! Thank you, Theodosia!
Yesterday a big box arrived, filled with way too many presents for one person. There are bath salts and (my first ever) Lush bath bomb and an Anne Taintor notebook - how did she know I needed a new notebook, and I love Anne Taintor? - and books and a CD mix (with Headstones music!) and more. I don't know who is more fascinated by the wooden toy, the Blue-Eyed Boy or Dan. (Nora just wants to chew on it.) It's a tough call, but I think what most Buffistas would lust over the most is the desk calendar with fabulous illustrations and every day marked by a fictional event.
Seriously, you were far too generous. That doesn't mean I'm giving any of it back, of course. ::clutches gifts tightly::
