OH< WAIT! BUFFISTA MAPPPPP!!!!
Goodbye and Good Riddance 2011: Maybe the even years are better
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. 2011? Room for improvement. Srsly.
I think I know who it is, too.
Oh yes, I have solved you. You and your taunty Scola too.
DEBET!!!!
Great gifts! Thank you SO much.
Again, and I really cannot say this enough, my b.org gift has been the highlight of many of my recent Christmases and I feel blessed to "know" you all.

I'm glad you like them.
sj, thanks for the card. It's so different from anything I ever see(There's a lighthouse on it.)
There's a lighthouse on it.
A little bit of New England winter for you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Anyone that ended up on my postcard list for the UK trip, has now ended up on my holiday card list.
I arrived at my parents house to find a package waiting for me!! I squeed, then squinted curiously at the address (DC), and opened to find that my Secret Santa is the incredibly generous and loving bonny fides.
As you can imagine, there were a lot of tears as I opened the card (signed by bonny and bartleby) and the super thoughtful gifts; a lovely embroidered purse holding salt scrub for my poor weathered skin, shiny silver earrings for me, a doggy angel medallion for Frankie (my mom started crying, too, at that), a book on changing one's attitudes towards money, a doggie toy for Frankie, a photo album holding a picture of bonny and bartleby (more tears), and my favorite - a handpainted tile of leaves and vines growing out of a heart, and in Italian around the border al cuor non si comanda (the heart takes no commands, or the heart knows what it wants).
It took me about ten minutes to open the whole package, what with crying and telling my mom and brother stories and just appreciating what was in it and the thought behind each item. I don't feel I have the words to communicate the depth of my gratitude and how touched I am at bonny's generosity in such a difficult time, so forgive me if I resort to a facile intensifer.
Buffistas are the fucking BEST.
Oh, smonster. Oh, bonny.
smonster that sounds like wonderful gifts.
Bonny you are continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. I got my secret santa present!
My secret santa present is going to go out on Monday. I'm working to finish one more thing and I don't think i'll have time to go to the post office tomorrow.
The handwriting is in purple and there's purple tissue and wrapping. I haven't opened the card or anything yet.
Should I open it or wait until Christmas?
