I just got my secret santa present, from Deb, who is an amazing and generous Secret Santa. I got a bottle of very nice tequila, a bottle of Patron's Coffee Liqueur (with TEQUILA!), a bottle of limoncello cream liqueur, some really pretty coasters, and about 5 different kinds of dark chocolate.

Thank you, SO MUCH.

Yum! That should help with the New Year's resolution of swearing off sobriety.

I love reading the giftee posts. All the people with Santa anxiety (btdt) should understand that the best part of the gifts is knowing that they came bundled with Buffista care. I look at little things around the house all the time and smile with the memory that it was a Buffista gift. Warms the heart it does.

Nicole - you are incredibly wicked. You are love!!!

Quester -- I had a chance to look at the Cooking with Wine (actually any kind of alcohol) cookbook more right before I went to bed. With every recipe they list the correct wine to serve with it.

There are recipes for every occasion, including brunch, so I can start the day right with pancakes and omeletes with liqour in them.

Suzi, I'm going to assume the cd got there. Yay! Hope you enjoy it.

Yesterday, I received from some mysterious person in the Chicago area, and poster of the Simpsons parodying Georges Seurat's Un dimanche après-midi à l'Ile de la Grande Jatte.

If this was from my Buffista Seekret Santy, Thank You! It's an awesome poster. I would link to an image of it, but all I can find online is the original.

Yay! I see another on board with the concept of rejecting sobriety in 2006.

My gift will go out today! I don't think there's any chance of it arriving before Christmas, sadly. Apologies in advance,but I hope my giftee enjoys it in the new year.

Christmas only starts on 12/25, everyone! 12 days! Not to mention Chanukah this year, and Kwanzaa. The week between 12/25 and 1/1 is prime gift-giving time!
