You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.

Go Brenda's company! What a nice feeling it must be to work at a good company. Looking up indeed.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

When I saw the Appleton A Christmas Carol it nudged me in the ribs and whispered that it would be just the thing for you.

It's really a perfect choice for her. Well done, Matt.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

May I just say that my lovely Secret Santa Laura rocks??? Because she does. I got my package today (after a few misadventures), and it was totally worth the wait!! She included chocolate (num!), Cooking With Fernet Branca (which promises to be hilarious), and Dustcovers, which is the collection of Sandman covers. So pretty!!

Thank you, sweetie!!

Cooking With Fernet Branca

This sounds just perfect for you, juliana. Not that I've seen your name in conjunction with this beverage or anything. What fun!

Our wings are not tired.

Yay! I'm so glad it finally got there. I was so worried about the condition of the contents since it looked like they played field hockey with the box. Did the book corners survive?

Of course cooking with Fernet assumes sipping while cooking.

They did, and beautifully. I'm trying not to start in on them just yet, since I'm in the middle of three right now and would like to finish at least one of them soon (Will In The World being the most important one to finish)! But so tempting, so tempting....

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oooh. I think my present(s) might go into the mail tomorrow. They'd go today, but I have to wrap them up.

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

I sent mine out on Saturday, but I think it got to the post office late enough that it didn't actually get sent until yesterday, since the post office was closed Sunday and Monday.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm still waiting for two things to be delivered to me so that I can send them out to my Secret Santee. :(
