I got to the post office on time tonight to pick up my package. It's from Amazon and my Seekrit Santa!
It's a Retro kitchen timer! And it's magnetic so it sticks to my steel cabinets!
Awesome!
No idea who the Santa is. But, THANK YOU!!

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.

RIGHT?!?!? And possibly the gnome ITSELF is my secret santa. I am watching it very carefully.

Is this like the Shelf Elf or whatever that monstrosity Barnes & Noble is always trying to sell me?
Also, it's true. I suck. Not only did I not mail out my secret santa package yet, I also didn't take the 30 letters from my students I have for Santa to the special Macy's post box. I have no magic in my heart.

Well it seems as though my giftee won't be getting their gifts before Christmas, even though Royal Mail assured me they would.
Also I most likely won't be receiving mine before Christmas, even though my Secret Santa sent it at the start of December! If it makes you feel better, Gifter, I just received a card from my auntie who lives on the other side of the city, which she sent in the first week of December. The post is fubarred.
In any case, a very merry Christmas to all that celebrate it, and very happy holidays to everyone who celebrates having a few days off work!

Art Crawl!!!
Are they always like that? Or are they taking the excuse of the exceptionally poor weather? (Although a cross-town card should never take that long - it's as if you were living in some neighborhoods on the northside of Chicago and your postman was just taking his mail and leaving it somewhere.)

I r stoopid! It's right there on the return label! My Seekrit Santa is libkitty!
Thank you, Freya!
I was roused this morning by a loud knock on my door and 2 more packages from Amazon! One is a box of Godiva dark chocolate truffles! That one is a birthday gift.
The other was in a long box, within was a very large blue psuedo-velvet bag with a gold ribbon. Inside was something long and heavy...a chalkboard with a Mucha graphic on it! It's gorgeous!
I can hear the UPS man banging on more doors in my building still! This is going to be a busy day for him!
And it is snowing!
This is an awesome Xmas-Chrismaka-Festivus!
