I think the #500 goal is within reach, then.
Goodbye and Good Riddance 2006!
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Well, Jon and I still haven't gotten our gifts. I mean, I'm okay with closing the thread if it bugs people to have it still hanging around, but don't we usually keep it open until everyone has been gifted?
On the other hand -- hmm, I'm not sure how to say this without sounding bitchy, but I don't mean it that way -- it could be a long time until we get our gifts, and it seems possible that we might never get them at all. (Which would make me a little sad, but, whatever.) And I know we don't want to keep the thread open forever. So, what do you all think?

I think you and Jon should tell me your color/yarn preferences, and I will knit you Consolation Scarves.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I don't see the big deal with keeping it open.
Has there been contact with the errant Santas?

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
but don't we usually keep it open until everyone has been gifted?
Yup. It's never taken this long before, but that shouldn't matter.

Thanks, Kate, for saying exactly what I would have said.

Indeed. I hereby rescind my ersatz goal of 500. it was moot anyway.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Package has been sent! My santee should receive it early next week. Apologies for the appalling lateness.

Package received -- Thank you Ouise!
Ouise sent me one gift for each month that's passed since Xmas.
December: A comic novel "Lux the Poet" by Martin Millar. I'd never heard of it, but the reviews make it look very promising.
January: A pretty beeswax candle. I'm not one for perfumed candles, so beeswax is perfect!
February: a blue glazed pottery cup handmade by Ouise -- Pretty!
March: A bar of dark chocolate with hazelnuts. My favorite!
April: a CD by Hopeful Monster, a Haligonian band I've never heard of. Pretty good at first listen, even if I didn't hear the promised theremin.
May: A pretty seashell glazed with stripes in various shades of blue.
This was totally worth the wait!!! Thanks again!!!!1!
t sits back and waits to hear from Kate.
