Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2009: So long and thanks for all the fish.  

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 2009? Don't think we've forgotten about you

Clovis looks very smug, indeed, and rightfully so.

Unfortunately, my secret santee will not be smug over my gift by Christmas. It's possible the said santee will not be smug at all, although I hope it may be smugness inducing eventually. In any case, I finally figured out something to send, purchased said something, and hope to have it mailed Christmas Eve afternoon, or if not, the day after Christmas.

It recently dawned on me that I get a gifty too, and I positively ache with anticipation.

And, I think it's so cool that we have two new Buffistlets so close to the end of the year. Well, who am I kidding, I'm just tickled that we have two new ones at any time of the year. I can't wait for pics!

Our wings are not tired.

I know what I want to get you, and will hopefully have it ordered by tomorrow!! SO EXCITED!!

Don't worry about timing, seriously. Don't spend any time on Christmas Eve doing anything irt my prezzie. Unless you're shipping All Miracleborns here because that would be a fine thing for you to do tomorrow.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I guess my present hasn't arrived with the giftee in time for Christmas, which makes me a bit sad, because I sent part of it via a more speedy delivery service than usual - but our mail service is notorious at the moment, with lots of strikes and backlogs, so it shouldn't surprise me too much. I hope it gets there early in January, anyway.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Seska, there's still mail (and UPS, FedEx, etc) delivery today. It's only 9 AM on the East Coast. Have faith!

Mine, however, won't be going out until Boxing Day, at the soonest.

I swear every year when that box arrives it somehow comes as a total surprise. It's become one of my favorite parts of Christmas.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I HAVE MY PRESENT! And I am sorry I do not know real name to board name. BUT, I am not opening until tomorrow, because it will be only present for Christmas morning, mac and I will have more in the afternoon when we go to my brother's.

And since mac is now insisting on his presents today, I am not sure even he will have anything tomorrow.

rambling, sorry.

The point is THANK YOU!!!

Yay, Clovis! (Please remember me kindly after the world take over, assuming you beat out my nephew's robot army.) I'm at my sister's place in MI until Saturday afternoon, so if my Secret Santa present has been delivered I probably wouldn't know. It'll give me something to look forward to when I get back home after Christmas. But if my Santa is waiting on my reaction, it's not that I'm unhappy with the gift, it's just geography getting in the way of me appreciating it just yet.
