I don't see the big deal with keeping it open.
Has there been contact with the errant Santas?
Harmony ,'Conviction (1)'
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.

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.

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!
I forgot to mention that there was loose glitter in the box (maybe off the card?) that found its way onto my face, stuck onto my 5 o'clock shadow. It provided amusement for FAQwife all evening.
Kate, did you ever get a present?
