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.

Thanks so much SailAweigh! (now that I can thank you specifically)

Also, (fun thing that may only be entertaining to me) I just realised that while you (SailAweigh) were my Seekrit Santa, my sister (Ouise) was yours. It's almost like you had each other (only not quite, because I don't intend to share any of my precious goodies with her... mwahaha)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm a complete slacker, but my secret santa gift is going to be mailed out today. Really sorry that it's so late.

Also, if I'm one of the giftees that people are worried about not having received the gift yet (wow, that's horrible sentence structure), it's because I ended up being away from DC for longer than I planned. But if it's been received at my building, then it'll be waiting in the front office for me when I get back.

Oh, yay, I thought that but wasn't sure. And thanks again!

Lilty, glad you liked it. I had fun picking the pictures to put in.

If my Santy is wondering, I won't be home until Monday.

You are very welcome Brenda, I'm so glad you like it (I certainly had a fantastic time making it -- I'm fairly new to knitting so it still seems like a miracle every time looping my yarn around sticks results in something wearable).

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Hmm... as Ouise's sister, didn't you have a hand in a Very Special Secret Santa gift a few years back involving Sports Night MPreg and Big Turks?

(I should note, by the way, that that particular gifting is thought of often, as I have a couple Big Turks still lurking in my freezer. They support the ice cream in email.)

I'm feeling vague guilt over having a pretty good 2005. I think I bogarted the luck or something.

That's Ouise's other sister!
