Even though I'm not yet slacking in sending my gift (it should go out this week), I've totally been slacking in acknowledging getting a gift! Last week I received a box of fair-trade Darjeeling tea! Thank you, Secret Santa!!!
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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.

Even Gifters in the non-Slacker exchange officially have until 12/31 to deliver their gifts.
ohthankgoodness. My first year in the non-slacker exchange, and I was worried I was going to blow the deadline.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Secret Santee: Your parcel is in the mail. I don't know if it will arrive before Xmas, but anything's possible. Maybe Boxing Day?

ION, I failed to make to the post office in time on Saturday, so I'm hoping to get my SSgift in the mail Monday.
I will also attempt to put the non-TJs return package in the mail this week as well.
My internet at home is on the fritz, so I don't know how often I will be able to post until it gets resolved.
I HAVE received my Secret Santa gift, but I have not yet opened it.
Still not done with shopping or wrapping or cooking. I'm looking forward to 4 days off next weekend!

Are they cat toys, Sumi? I couldn't quite picture what would be in a book like that, but it sounded cute.
