Glory ,'The Killer In Me'
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.
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!
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!

Thank you - Awesome, every bit of it.
I can't believe it got there on time! Go USPS! I've been completely tickled by your quest for my identity. You are most welcome.
I want to marry the embroidery.
The ornament is on the tree and I have lit the Christmas Past candle I got from quester last year.
b.org gifts are so much fun!
Yay! That was fun to watch! This has been the bestest Sekrit Santa exchange ever.
Per our mutual interests, pretty much everything but the shopping bag is thrifted/secondhand/vintage.
