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.
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
(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!

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.

I'm not irritated about waiting, since my package's arrival will increase my guilt about having not sent mine yet.
