I'd like to volunteer to be a stand in if anyone doesn't get gifted this year. I'm such a slacker that I missed even the slacker Santa.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

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.

I got a package I believe is from my Secret Santa, should I open it?

Go for it! I opened every single one of mine as they came. I like the way it draws things out; I find it more suspenseful. But you may like hoarding your presents to open them all at once to bask in that feeling of "it's all mine, MINE."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
For me it depends on if there are other things on Christmas. I like opening the gift from here as they come since my Christmas day is busy, but everyone's isn't.

I opened the card so THANK YOU BONNNY!
But the packages are wrapped so nice in this pretty purple paper that I think I'm going to wait and enjoy looking at them on my bookshelf for awhile.

Oh Askye, I'm so glad it arrived on time. I just mailed it on Thursday, how awesome is the Post Office?
I was just coming in to say that I received a super cute card from my secret santa, via msbelle. (Thank you both) And, that I'm truly feeble at the 'secret' portion of the program.
I'm all HERE IS SOME STUFF I HOPE YOU LIKE! No mystery at all.
I felt bad that I could not do my customary "I am the BOW QUEEN" wrapping adornments. I figured they'd get smooshed in transit and just be sad-looking on arrival.
Still, I hope you enjoy the giftees and have a lovely, fun-filled holiday.

I have presents!
I got a lovely calendar, filled with art deco posters of New York City. And yesterday I received a selection of really nice black teas. I’m drinking the pu-erh right now, and it’s delicious!
THANK YOU, SAILAWEIGH!
