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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Shir, as part of my fundraising for 826 Valencia, your Slacker Secret Santa has made a donation and asked me to dedicate a limerick to you as part of your gift. And here it is:

Shir's blog is now changing the world.
We're amazed at the events that unfurled.
This girl perspicacious
With blog efficacious
Deserves a tiara quite pearled.

!!!

So cool. I love Valencia 826 and think they're awesome (got myself a t-shirt from there, when I was in SF), and, Santa, you just wowed me. You've made my morning with the news and the limerick.

Thank you!

Seriously awesome. P-C, you are a rhyming rockstar. That may be the best limerick I've ever read.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

How cool!

Nice! And very cool of that Slacker Secret Santa. I did not get my act together, but I loved the Secret Santa gifts that involve other Buffistas, like Suzi's ornament.

I'm really happy to be part of your gift, Shir! Sometimes I still crave one of those Snowies.

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

The store where I bought the chocolates in Jerusalem stopped having them on stock. Weird and evil, man.

I'll try and get some boxes next time I'm in Tel Aviv.

Oh, and the present? STILL COOL, ftr.

Not javachik

Seska is the bestest Sekrit Santa a Buffista could have! (perhaps one among many, okay) Yesterday, another present arrived in the mail. It's a 2011 calendar, "Around Britain in 365 Days," the kind with a gorgeous little photo on each day of the calendar. It's lovely. I don't think Seska knew this before, but my grandfather emigrated to the US from Northumberland when he was 16, settling on a a large apple farm in upper New York state. So it is really cool to have all these lovely photos of the ancestral homeland, too!

I was going to post last week, "I'm wearing the necklace and earrings that Seska gave to me with my purple v-neck shirt, AIFG," so here I am with a late post.

Thanks so very much for all the gifts, Seska. You have been unbelievably generous and it's very much appreciated.
