Let's hear from some slacking Gifters and see if they've got their packages together but just haven't managed to get to the post office. (A common hazard in this project.)
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

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

I can offer to be a clearing house for the slakers and ungifted. I know Nilly has the master list - don't know if she has the time available.

I'll throw my name into the ring for substitute giftees.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I would also volunteer to be a substitute santa. I was the giftee of substitutes and was richly gifted by them.

I am a slacker gifter. Once i stopped slacking, one of the items is in backorder. Soon, giftee, soon.

I am a slacker gifter - however, I got in touch with my giftee ages ago to confess my supreme slackeriness - which has, indeed gotten out of control. HOwever, between the weather and my bad back - getting to the post office has been a bit of a project for me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm a slacker gifter and an ungifted giftee, which makes me feel balanced out, at least. I'll throw my name into both rings.

Hey folks - if you haven't gotten a gift. Or if you are a santa who hasn't be able to get to the post office (or just did within the last week), drop me a note. I have made note of the alternate santas who posted above.
Before I send out anything, I will double check with Nilly to see if she has extra information. I'd ask for your notes by Friday and I will try to get responses out over the weekend.

OMG!! D. just came in carrying a box, and he was all "Uh, did you order something from THAILAND?" And I was all "Uh. No. Shit, here let me se...OMG OMG FLAIL, I got a present from FAY!"
SO. EXCITED.
And I opened up the box, and it smelled WONDERFUL. There was a beautiful dark teal hobo bag, embroidered and with tassels and beads and a medallion, which would have been present enough, but seriously, y'all? It was like one of those magic bags in fairy stories that is never empty!
I got:
Three scarves: an iridescent turquoise, amethyst and teal. SO PRETTY. And light, so I can wear them all summer.
A red coral bracelet with a wee crocheted flower.
A flowered makeup bag with sequins that held delicious incenses and soaps (Dan: Did you get lemongrass? Me: YES, YES I DID!).
A purple fan with filigreed cutouts, which I will be using at my wedding!!
A set of six pretty wooden chopsticks in embroidered holders with wee elephants on them.
A wooden sculpture of a little elephant with his trunk up in the air, and a wistful little expression on his face. So cute; it is on my desk.
A purse mirror with flowers on one side, and an golden elephant on the other.
And a fat blue cyclops/teddy bear keyring that is quite adorkable.
I love it so much! I'm so excited! THANK YOU, FAY!

Now that's a Secret Santa gift.
