So, do I a) open it at the office, b) open it christmas eve with my family, or c) keep the whole darn thing for myself?
C. B, if you're feeling particularly charitable. I'm glad it got there okay! (Booze content is dark rum and Calvados).
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

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.

I'm getting the pig!
My Secret Santa gift arrived today and, being me, I almost had it opened before I even got in the house. Which, thanks to all that superstrong sticky glue, wasn't exactly easy.
But I was successful and I now have lots o' lovely new magnets on my fridge, a couple of uber-cool new keychains hanging with my other keychains, an enticing beach chair card (very enticing) and just enough delicious mint chocolate to last me through the evening. Which happens to be the perfect amount. (BTW, I had no idea that Andes made their chocolates that big! Woo hoo!)
Thank you Laura Claus!! You rock!

Our wings are not tired.
Yay! I was hoping it would get there today. Did you get the note about part 2?
Hee! I put lots of tape so it would take a long time to open the little bits.

Well done then, miss thang. I almost broke a nail ripping into everything! Keyword being almost.
Did you get the note about part 2?
I almost forgot about part 2! I have a Buffista cookbook on the way, too. Yay! I'm so excited to see all of the contributions to it from various 'fistas.
Eta: check lj. I put up pics of the magnets on my fridge!

Damn it! I also forgot to mention how damn cute and creative (along with enticing) the card was.
See for yourself. The little book on the beach chair says Bitches Thread Suck. Too cute!

Woo! I'll get to LJ when I can wrestle my laptop back from DH. Although he has his own he is using mine right now because it is all available and handy in the living room. Grrr. I should go get his and set it up!

I have been to lj - the Bobby-made keychain is ADORABLE. And that card is fabulous.

I sent my secret Santa gift out last Thursday. The postal clerk said 6-8 business days, but I'm not hopeful that it will make it by Xmas. I'm still waiting on a package from Chicago that was sent to me two weeks ago.

Don't say that! I've yet to get packages in the mail, yeargh. I had to pick up special wrappings for some of my gifts (a 3' x 4' gift bag for one) and finish getting my S.S. gift gathered up. I've got it all, now, just have to get it packaged up.
Yay, for Lauragift! She does good gift. I love that card, it's teh cute.

Sail, this is cross-border, so I think it slows things down...
