I got a package I believe is from my Secret Santa, should I open it?
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
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!

I'm glad you're enjoying the tea, Tom. I've ordered Adagio teas before and been very pleased with them.
And you're darn lucky you got that calendar; I was tempted to keep it for myself. I have a thing for both art deco and art nouveau. I had a hard time finding an envelope/box that it would fit into; if my roommate hadn't cut down a different box to fit, I was willing to bite the bullet and keep it for myself. :)
