Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
According to the rules we voted on:
As of the last day of February, any ungifted Santa or Slacker Santa giftees will have the option to throw their names back into the pool to be gifted by other volunteers, which will be a way for people who found themselves unable to gift for one reason or another to bow out gracefully and for everyone to get closure on the year without the thread going on for months.
Anyone?
Oops! This is why I am a slacker -- I have gotten my mail ordered stuff for my giftee a week or so a ago, and just need to find a box and pack it and send it; I WILL do that this week!!
I haven't gotten anything either, but since I am so slacky, I am not all that fussed about it.
I have gifted and gotten and will happily pinch hit.
Same here.
me three.
Oh, shit! I thought I had until the last day of March. I just need to mail the damned thing! This weekend, promise! Sorry!
I can also pinch hit if needed.
I'm glad Vortex wasn't the only one who thought we had until the end of March. I will get my gift in the mail this weekend. I am still ungifted but I'm OK with that.
You know, we COULD have a combination super-early/ super-late gift exchange - those who are always early with stuff could send prezzies out in, say, June. And those who are always late could send prezzies out in, say, June. (One being the present of Christmas past, one the present of Christmas yeet to come.)
OMG! My husband walked in today and he was all "Um, did you order something from Israel?"
I squeed immediately and opened it and it's a rocking gorgeous teapot with LEMONS on it and some delicious hazelnut chocolates!
PERFECT! I love it so much. I have a small collection of teapots: an old one-serving brownstone teapot, a raku teapot from a distingushed ceramacist my mom bought when she was working at an art store and now this lovely teapot from a family in Jerusalem who has been making them for years.
It's really lovely, and I adore it. When I'm not using it, it will be displayed in my hutch!
Since I have the NOM chocolates, too, I'm going to say it's from Shir? But there was a reference in the lovely little letter that accompanied it that made a reference to being a Jewish mama, so maybe Nilly? I don't know!
Rav todot, havera sheli! Toda raba.
