Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

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

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Last year was the first time I participated, and I didn't even think keeping my identity secret.

Not that it would help, anyway. Unless the giftee expects for another package from Israel, it's kind of redundant.

As for myself, I think that getting a package from a secret Santa that would choose to keep herself/himself secret would drive me crazy. I know that most of you live in the U.S., but except for two or three of you I have no idea on which states you are, and I'd be lost. Of course, if watching me going insane online for months trying to figure out who you are and trying to bribe people from long distance to revile their identity will make you happy, go for it. You might end up with a future therapist's check to pay, but I like to keep my people happy.

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

I have never understood what the "secret" part of secret santa is, if there is only 1 gift and the santa is revealed on that gift. But I went to a highschool where the secret santa thing was 2-3 weeks long and people got gifts throughout, so there was a lot to guess on and a lot of misdirection at times.

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

I've kept my identity 'secret' - except I don't expect that many packages are being sent out from, well, London.

Btw, I sent mine off today, so I do hope it will reach my giftee across the pond in time for Christmas. I had SO much fun shopping for it, too!

I thought it was the part of not knowing who is this until the moment of receiving the gift.

I really need to complete the shopping for my giftee. 50% done, but there's one more thing I'd like to add and will have to think about.

At one time, that might have been more of a head scratcher, Seska. Not so much, now. So sorry I can't play this time, but the timing is bad here. We are putting off most of our Christmas, too. Maybe I'll make it up to someone on Cupid's Day, I mean, Valentine's(But if you know the show, and you know Buffistas, you know I mean Cupid's Day.)

Yeah, I arrived at a quiet time for this side of the world. There's just two of us now, I guess? Talking of which, I must arrange that F2F with Jars.

I'm doing slacker santa, and it's the first time I've done Buffista secret santa! I'm excited.

Here's a clip about Cupid's Day(there's Piven, for when Fay comes in here.) [link]

That's what I think. I've never hidden on the gift (though I do have a tendency to forget to put the card in, so maybe. But I think only one or two I've received haven't said.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Me too!

It didn't occur to me to not say who I was on the card, but now maybe I won't. Just for kicks.
