4 PM? Jeez! Happy holidays.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2007: Heaven's Just a Funky Moose
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 2007? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Hee! I'm glad everything got there okay, Ailleann. As soon as I saw who I got for a giftee I knew exactly what to get you.

Because books.
BigDuluth, Sox is in Philly, or thereabouts, but I can't say for sure it was from her.
Of course, I also can't think of anyone else in Philly, but that could just be me being forgetful.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I am also from Philly!
But did I gift? You decide!

Because books.
Ah! See, I knew I would forget something!
I *used* to be almost from Philly (Bucks County) and am hoping to move the family back to that area next summer. So, yay!

Yay fruitcake!
I'm waiting to try some tomorrow, since I already had ice cream for dinner tonight. But Thanks! Anne!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I haven't tasted it yet but I can already tell you it smells ten times better than the best fruitcake I ever had.

Amy, my Mom is in an "independent living community," Ann's Choice in Warminster so perhaps we can get together when I visit her after your move!

not your mom's socks.
I'm going grey for a couple of days, and I think it's time to let Big D off the secret santa hotseat... glad you like the treats and that they made it in time! I figured that the DMV would probably make it onto the List...
eta:
My guess will be Sox
It's because of the haiku
It could be d though
serves me right for reading good riddance first!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Quester!!!! OMG!!!
First of all, I should mention that this box arrived yesterday, but I'm not very bright and so I didn't notice it was addressed to ME until this morning (it was waiting in the lobby of my building).
But this morning I saw that it was, in fact, mine, and so I brought it upstairs and, as I said earlier, OMFG!
It is FULL OF AWESOME GOODIES! There are yummy chocolates and travel bath goodies and pens with my name on them, and a turtle ornament (we don't have a tree, but that doesn't mean I don't have places to hang turtles), and some bath toys and a bib for Dylan, and fun little wind-up things, and turtle stickers and a turtle pencil and a pretty little travel jewelry box and a scented candle (which I shall light later, perhaps near the tub), and...probably at least three or four other things which I shall remember as soon as I go back into the other room where they're all spread out on the table. And even the BOXES are handmade and gorgeous. Color me unbelievably touched and impressed.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Oh, and a matching scarf and socks! See, I knew I'd left something out.
I'm eating the heart-shaped chocolates now. Nom nom nom.
