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.

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. I love the thought of the Secret Santa chortling away as msbelle relentlessly pursues.

Ok, work is over, the girl is home and I opened the box of goodies!!!
First, there was a small bag with two fantastic bars of chocolate - Milk chocolate creme brulee truffle bar (I know I'm missing accent marks) and Dark Lindt chocolate with a touch of sea salt (NOM!). These are going into the green fabric bag my secret santa sent earlier. The bag also had a pretty green beaded key chain.
Then, in the main part of the box was a ultra soft hot and cold personal spa set. This included a neck pillow, an eye mask, a neck wrap and a small all-purpose pad. The last three can provide hot or cold comfort. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Then another bar of chocolate - Madagascar single origin dark chocolate.
Finally there is a great bead organizer. I have outgrown the one I have now and have needed more storage for a while, so this is FANTASTIC.
Everything has been so wonderful. Part of the enclosed note read "The case is for your beads, the progress for after belt-tests and when you get headaches and the chocolate is for ALL THE TIME!" Yes, yes, yes...just what I need.
BUT my secret santa didn't identify herself, but who ever she is, I think she is the nicest. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
ahem, turn the note over, but you are right.
Ahahahahahaha!!!!!
t edit I'm NOT laughing at the gift or Suzi's reaction; just at the use of "nicest" and the Santa reveal.
