Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Okay then. I won't close the thread yet.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Yep, me too. Though it's no worry, Secret Santa. I gotcha.

Because books.

Me, too. Waiting, that is. Although I know my Secret Santa has had some big Life Stuff going on.

Our wings are not tired.

Woo! I'm taking this as a sign that the holidays are not yet over and eggnog with rum is acceptable breakfast food.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I like the way you think, Laura.

Jilli, I'm so glad it finally got to you! I'm such an idiot, and I had to keep replacing pieces until I got it all together - the bath melt melted, the coffee wasn't as fresh anymore, etc... - but I had fun. I also was as excited about the wrapping as any of it - did you like? Anyway, um, Merry February!

Ohhh yesssss. I very carefully unwrapped the boxes so I could save the Edward Gorey paper. I even saved the "The Pink" and "The Black" tags, 'cos they will make splendid bookmarks.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

Can all the giftees who haven't received yet, and the Santas who haven't sent yet, please email me? I'm trying to get a handle on who exactly is left.

Do you need any Substitute Secret Santas, Dani? I feel like I was more than bounteously gifted this year,and it would be good karmically to pass some more joy around.

I would also volunteer to do the same for the same reason.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Add me to the substitute Santa list if need be.
