Goodbye and Good Riddance 2008: "...and the horse you rode in on."  

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 2008? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I'm sorry I couldn't participate in Secret Santa this year. It is a wonderful institution. But, my life is too up-in-the-air right now, and I don't know where I'll be when.

Buffista gifts are always the best!

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I'm so glad you liked the Anne Taintor calendar! I had just ordered Retro Mama for me and thought I would take a chance. I had my son address the package so handwriting would be completely thrown off. I've been so excited for you to open your package ever since you said it arrived. I'm so glad you are pleased!

I'm planning to start shopping for my Slacker Santa gift tomorrow.

Next year I totally need to do Secret Santa.

Wait. That doesn't sound right.

I'm sure Santa thinks it sounds awesome!

Dear Secret Santee;

You know I signed up for the Slacker List.

This is why you will be waiting to get your prezzies.

Love, Theo

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Many thanks to my wonderful (and still secret) Santa!

I received a little Japanese-style thermal lunch set that I've been coveting for a long time now. It comes with a little drawstring bag in orange and green, and has three separate containers for goodies. It also comes with a pair of chopsticks in their own wee case. I will get a lot of use out of this in the coming year.

In short, thank you, Secret Santa, thank you!

There was an Amazon receipt, but as the actual gift card was kept quiet, I did not (yet) peek.

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 actually had my (slacker) secret santa all bought and boxed before the holiday, but I missed the mail pickup at the office so it won't go out until I get back after New Year's.

Secret Santa,

mea culpa. I haven't gotten mine mailed yet. Many apologies!
