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.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

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

This is me, except MA not MI, and Sunday not Saturday.

Safe travels, Buffistas who are travelling, and Happy Holidays for those of you that celebrate something. With that, I am out of here until next week.

DEAR MY AWESOME SECRET SANTA:
I miss Chicago too! I love the colour-coordinatedness of this all, especially the brilliant notepad! That will remain on my desk all year round, for scribbling accounting babble and murder mysteries and grocery lists on. I can't wait to go home and try the sour cherry liqueur, and though I'm very sad one of the nifty little glasses broke, I will cherish the other. And the book made me laugh out loud in the office lobby!
THANK YOU!!

Yay, it got there! Thank goodness it was a glass that broke and not the bottle. You'll just have to come back to pick up the matching glass. t hint

I love everything! thank you Secret Santa!

Wow, SA's gift looks wonderful and perfect..
I sent my gift yesterday. Unfortunately 1, I didn't have enough on me to make it travel super fast, so it'll be there in a week's time. Unfortunately 2, it seems like the post decided to get a little bit... enthusiastic with packing my package, so it (the nice package I had in advance) got torn and I had to mail it all in a usual, big, fluffy white envelope.
Nevertheless, it's on its way, and I can't wait for it to get there.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
quester ~ you did get it in time for Christmas! I'm so glad - I was worried it wouldn't make it across the Atlantic in one piece. There's another part on the way, but it went the slower route :D
I'm so glad you like it. It was so much fun shopping for it!
