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.

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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I didn't know that, but how cool. I'm glad the present's been a hit!

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Did anyone perhaps get a (shamefully late) present earlier this week?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I have neither sent nor received a slacker gift. Mine is almost ready to put in the mail.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That's some quality slacking right there.
(To be clear, I've done worse in years past.)

Our wings are not tired
I've been an epic slacker in the past, and there was one year I never did get a gift.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Sent mine today after major slacking. Happy with what I got so far.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think I did finally hear from all people, but if anyone in the regular exchange did not get a gift, please email me.

Dana! I did, and I swear a posted here about it... I mean, I know I composed a post, but it sure isn't in the thread. It was actually last week. Mea culpa.
I was Secret Santaed again by the lovely Dana, which was a surprise, because of the happy accident of a misdirect from the lovely orchid pendant made in Thailand that I received earlier from my SS, who was Dana but I had not guessed.
In addition to that, I recently received a box with candy (already gone, yum), a beautiful card from Dana, postcard and bookmark with New Orleans imagery, some scrumptious Gardenia scented bath salts - my favorite scent, looking forward to some relaxing bath time, yay - and some adorable little penguin magnets.
Thank you, Dana! I actually loved getting a package this month - it was very cheering, I have to say. And the orchid pendant necklace is lovely; I've worn it several times, and someone always compliments it - love that!
