I sent my package off today -- the Post Office claims it'll take 2 days, so my feeling is that my santee will get a box o' festive cheer by the weekend. I hope.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2005: the Year of the Penguin
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 2005? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Martha Stewart would be aghast, I'm sure.
This is sort of my decorating theme.

Sparky, yay for your gift getting there!
Boo on the confiscation by the DH! Oh, well. There's nothing perishable in there, so the gift will be fine even if you're climbing the walls.
(If you told him I said you could open it now, would he go for it?)

Probably, but if there's nothing perishable there, I figure I might as well let him have the illusion of being the boss of me on this one issue. He has also confiscated the boxes from my mother containing gifts.
This is sort of my decorating theme.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I have everything ready for my giftee except a box to mail it in. D'oh!

I didn't even wrap mine. I was so concerned about positioning it in the box so that one part wouldn't get all messed up that it didn't even occur to me. There's some gold tissue, though, that I bought specially. Dur.
So, um, giftee, when you open the box, you're opening the present. Just a heads-up if you happen to be a Wait Until X-Mas person.

The already opened presents sound wonderful. I tried to do well, but I fear my giftee may suffer in comparison. However, if all works well with the USPS, said giftee may at least suffer on time.

I can testify that there is absolutely no suffering involved when being your giftee.

You are too kind, but I hope that this year's giftee agrees with you instead of with me.

If my S. Santa hasn't mailed my present, I am out of town for a week, so don't sweat it too much.
