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
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

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.

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!

Thank you erika! I will be getting a lot of use out of that thing in the coming year.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
This is why you will be waiting to get your prezzies. Love, Theo
As Theo's Slacker Santee from last year, let me attest: Her prezzies are so very much worth the wait. Mine still make me deeply happy every time I wear one and every time I walk in to work and see another on my desk.

Presents! Many presents! All for me! My Secret Santa gift arrived on Christmas Eve! Best timing ever! And it was filled with ALL KINDS OF THINGS FOR ME. Soap! And red licorice (my favourite!) and key rings, and toys for the cats (because also ALL KIND OF THINGS FOR THE KITTIES) and chocolates and other things, but best of all, caramel squares and TWO KINDS OF FUDGE. And while I have to say that the caramel squares and the mint fudhe were good, like ridiculously good, the amaretto fudge mad me have a little party in my pants.
So thank you so so much Secret Santa Nicole for the many things! We actually cracked out the fudge and caramel squares while we decorated the tree on Christmas Eve and 'twas altogether very Christmassy. And thank you again for all the thought and effort that went into my gift, it was so very much appreciated.
And to my own Santee, apologies as though I thought I could send it before Christmas, and spend slightly less on the postage by sending it while I'm in the States, my own cheapness got the better of me and I grabbed the wrong bag of stuff to bring over, so your gift is sitting in Ireland right now, just waiting to fulfil its Christmas destiny, which hopefully will happen early in the new year.
