The main present I ordered for my secret santee hasn't arrived yet, so it's likely going to end up a traditional Twelfth Night present by the time I can get it all wrapped and redirected.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2006: You're ON THE LIST!!!
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 2006? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Trust my rage
I have only one question, though, which may seem silly: *which* Stephanie was my Santa? Vortex, or Ellie's mom?
It was me! I'm so glad you liked it. I was originally going to go with a more original Puerto Rican coffee theme, but the whole hospital thing sort of messed up my plans. Still, I'm very happy you liked the present.
In related news, is it possible that my santa sender has already sent the package? I have a package waiting for me at the post office here(orignally arrived while we were at the hospital), but I can't find it (the post office). It was supposed to be re-delivered yesterday but it hasn't shown up. Anyway, I'm going to try again tomorrow to find the post office. Stupid crazy puerto rican address/street system!!!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
My giftee's not going to get gifted until after Christmas. I had planned to put it all together last Sunday, but then that idea hit a brick wall.
You know what would be a true Christmas miracle? Me sending out a Seekrit Santa present that arrives before the holiday. I swear poor Matt had to wait until almost spring last year.
In conclusion, I suck but I hope all will be forgiven upon arrival.

Okay, now I want to start smoking again, just so I can have a cigarette case like Amy's.
Me, too! It sounds so cool.
Ahem...
Dear Seekrit Santee:
You're aces. I, however, got thrown off schedule by a day off being cruelly snatched out of my grasp (or, less dramatically, a co-worker's kid got sick, so I helped her out by switching days). BUT, that threw off my whole final shopping schedule to finish putting together your gift and mail it out by yesterday, so, well, it's going to be late.
I hope you enjoy a fabulous Christmas, and just think... even more prezzies to come afterwards! (Insert big, cheesy grin)
♥,
Your Secret Santa, Who Should Really Always Just Go For the Slacker Round.

libkitty! I got my penguin today, and he's adorable. I might name him Pete. As soon as I can figure out how to keep him standing up, I think he's going to live on top of my TV with my tiny wind-up penguin.

More penguins. They'll be taking over the world, next.

I'm getting the pig!
If so, I wonder if they'd make everyone wear tuxedos...
Which would suck for me personally. The collars bug me. I wonder if someone could convince them to fashion a nifty new v-neck version of the tuxedo.
It's highly possible that I'm putting way too much thought into this.

Have I mentioned here that my brother's tuxedo cat (a former Moscow street cat) is named Vladimir Penguinovich?

Too. Cute.

I got my penguin today
Yeah! I'm glad he's cute. It looked like he would be, but pictures can be deceiving. More importantly, keep watching! The rest may even get there on time, but I'm not sure 'cause mail from here sucks.
