If I encourage people to be more sneaky and secrety in the gifting ways, then my work here is done. It's like a whole other gift, the hunt, the fake outrage, the ridiculousness. priceless.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2010: Don't Let the Door Hit Ya...
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 2010? We have a few words for you.

I like the sneaky! Also, I like the msbelle hunting-for-it.
Dear Secret Santa receiver person.... I will send stuff. I PROMISE. But I am sort of swamped today and what I have to send will be out tomorrow. I do promise.

Because books.
What Kat said. I'm working hard on the gift, but it may not go out until ... Thursday. Yikes. I'm sorry!

Not that anyone should put off sending just cause, BUT, if you look at the elfster site, the deadline to get gifts is by year-end. I think everyone is doing a great job this year. Also remember if you are not going to be able to make year-end deadline, email me post-haste, we have people in the wings ready to send notes and trinkets and even the main gifts if needed.

I haz a box! I'm guessing it is secret santa related cause there are close to no clues on the outside regarding who it is from. I say close to cause I see a zip code for where it came from. But my secret santa has been sneaky on earlier notes, so who knows.
Will open when I'm done with work, otherwise I'll be distracted by the shiny.

Thank you, I replied.
Oh and Secret Santa, I got the note you sent me on elfster. I am still investigating though. The Truth Is Out There.

Hee. I love the thought of the Secret Santa chortling away as msbelle relentlessly pursues.
