Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2012: If the world doesn't end, I'm going to need a note
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. 2012--better luck next time.

amyth! Awww, amyth. Thank you, so much. Such a wonderful package, and I'm only sorry it got me so long to get to it - it's been waiting for me for at least a week.
So amyth gave me a very appropriate merit badge, and a fantastic purple scarf. And a bigger-on-the-inside bag, and a beautiful bracelet. And a CD by an artist I'm not yet familiar with but will be soon, and a marvelous - absolutely marvelous wood bookmark, with an eighth note carved on it. Absolutely beautiful. Attached to all of these there was a beautiful card.
Thank you so much, amyth. I feel so lucky to have been introduced to this board almost five years ago. This gift exchange is only a small reminder to all of the things, in wisdom and and experiences I got from being here - and as much as these exchanges make me incredibly happy and grateful for knowing people from all over the world, I cherish the everyday of posting here, whenever I can post here regularly.
So as corny as it might sound, thank you for being yourselves.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Shir, you know I've kept those candy tins on my windowsill and every time I look at them I think of you? Now you do.
(Okay, I also think of candy. But also you.)

Aww, P-C. laughs. Thank you.
I really did get so much from here. And I love you all. And hi, that merit badge will get on my (newish) bag, right next to that snowflake I also got from here.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
Hooray, hooray! I'm so glad that you got the package, and that you liked the contents!!
I don't know if the musician is to your taste, but I know that music is very important to you, and it was recorded outdoors, just a few miles from my apartment. So it should give you an audio taste of North Carolina.
I love that you liked the merit badge. I saw it and I just had to buy it.
