Oooh! I'm so happy, Sox. I have box number two ready to go. I'm just waiting for the new month.
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.
A quick skip-and-drive-by to mention to any Secret Santa who has anything to ask their giftees (whether already-mailed gifts have arrived, for example) or let them know (being late, shipping stuff and so forth), that I'd love to mediate any of these messages.
(fwiw, I am still giftless. But I figure it's karma, because I am often unreliable and made of fail.)
I am often unreliable and made of fail.
Is that the British way of spelling "wonderful and made of win"? Is there a difference in pronunciation, on top of spelling?
I am still giftless
I can shoot an e-mail to your Secret Santa and see what happened - would you like me to do that, or would you rather wait?
Ah, you're a charmer, Nilly, and no mistake! No worries, though. I've stopped going hopefully down to the mailbox and am trying to be zen about it. But I thought I'd mention it just in case anything had gone astray in the mail.
Genuinely, though, it feels like karma; I know I haven't any moral highground to be whining about it.
And may I drop a big thank you shout for Nilly, for connecting between gifters and giftees and bringing much joy to the world?
Nilly brings joy to the world by existing. Being the not-Santa is just a bonus.
I haven't gotten a gift or sent mine. I'm making something. It will be cool. I hope. I am a bad SS.
For the record, I do slacker for a reason.
I haven't received or sent either... and am a slacker!
For the record, I do slacker for a reason.
Exactly. Although I did send! Actually, although I did send out my santa stuff I still haven't sent out all my normal presents. So I'm not fussed about waiting.
