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.
I don't see the big deal with keeping it open.
Has there been contact with the errant Santas?
I believe there has and that plans are in the works. Things Happened.
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.
but don't we usually keep it open until everyone has been gifted?
Indeed. I hereby rescind my ersatz goal of 500. it was moot anyway.
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.
Yay! I'm so glad I finally managed to get it to you. The theremin is on “Daily Electric” (I'm not sure if there's some on any other tracks).
I also recently discovered that Martin Millar was a huge Buffy fan. He also has a free download of his Tank Girl novel from the Miscellaneous page of his website. I've downloaded it but haven't read it yet.
Merry Christmas!
