I have a box packed for my secret santee. Should I put it in the mail tomorrow or wait until the end of the week.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

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 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. :)

I'm envying your Art Deco calendar. I had one a few years ago, but have not found one since. I'm nuts about it and would cheerfully live in an Art Deco world if I could!
I have not gotten any packages yet but I did get a lovely, teasing card from my Secret Santa, so my hopes are up!
I have most of the shopping done and now must commence with the packaging of my gift to send post haste!

Me too!
The closest I've gotten is going to movies at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, which is pretty much like visiting Art Deco Emerald City. (That's where Matilda is going to see the Nutcracker next week.)
Though picture books of the 1939 Treasure island Exposition are also Art Deco Fantasyland.

David, have you even done the tour at The Paramount Theater. You get to see so much more...it is gorgeous. And my kids grew up with The Nutcracker there.

Nope!

I need to go to there!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Not sure if I should do this here or on Elfster... but if my Secret Santa package will arrive between 12/21 and 12/28, it should go to my parents' address in Raleigh, NC. Hmm, will xpost on Elfster as well.
