'The Killer In Me'
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.
I know several people (including me) were late in sending out their packages. Just to be on record in-case senders are waiting to hear, I haven't received anything yet (which is cool, fun has no time limit).
Conversely, my giftee should have received mine, but I haven't seen it posted.
I had the ultimate pleasure of watching my giftee open her treats and guess who her santa was. I'm pretty sure she knew from the get go, but I tried to be tricksy.
In case anyone's mailed mine, I haven't got it yet. I will be sure to post about it as soon as it arrives.
I still don't, officially, know who my own santa was. My guess is Megan Walker. Whoever you were, dear santa, I am enjoying my goodies. Mmmmmm that tea is delish!
I don't have anything yet either. Except anticipation, I should say.
Oh! I knew there was something I was forgetting to do last night. My secret santa gift arrived, a package with assorted nummy looking preserves and spreads, a pecan log, and a really cool African animal sculpture carved from a buffalo horn (which is now standing on a bookcase shelf in my front hallway). Thanks Emily!

I confess. Glad you are enjoying it. I was hoping to include pictures of various Bayistas at famous SF sites, but that didn't really pan out.
My secret santa gift arrived
Oh good. The pecan log is mostly a joke, but the rest of the stuff should be good. Only... I couldn't remember if you liked olives or not. If you don't, then please feel free to regift. I'd be happy to know I'd provided good gift fodder! And I'd never heard of olive salt, but it looked interesting.
Oh, I love olives, particularly kalamata ones (which the spread looks to be made of). And I was just thinking the other day that I might get a rougher grain sea salt when my current salt shaker runs out, so that was pretty timely.
One question: what do you recommend using the lavender preserves on?
I guess whatever you'd ordinarily use fruit jelly on (if anything). My family mostly eats it on toast, I think, but then we're just not very adventurous, food-wise.
