Ah ha ha! That's a brilliant idea.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Eeee! I just came home to an amazing box full of excellent stuff! Lotions and angels and a beautiful pottery (soap?) dispenser. If soap, is perfect, because I can't fit bar soap on my pathetic bathroom sink. Oh! Or I could put the lotion in, obviously. And I love the crafty engels!!
Thanks, Secret Gift Giver! Who I think is Calli.....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, my giftee should know that I consider the gifting season to run through Three Kings Day on Jan 6....

Compassionately intolerant
He received a cute stripey envelope from Sandy Claws on Buffista Island...but no map how to get there! In fact, zero clue where it came from, trixy anonymous shipping label.
It was even addressed to him!
It included the rawhide wreath pictured above and an adorbs little ceramic bowl with 'dog' written in 9 different languages, along with a cutie cartoon dog.
The above pictured wreath is...it must be said...the BOMB.
He has carried it around the house for about a half hour.
He buried it in his secret place (under the couch slipcover) for a few minutes but could not stand to be away from it.
The photo is just one of about a dozen I took, but is the only one that came out unblurred as he can't seem to stop showing off his delight and pacing around with it.
EXCELLENT call Secret Santa! Thank you so much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have no idea where this thanks even goes, but...
Good way to flummox me is with an Amazon box. I was sure that was at the wrong door.
But no, that's my name, and that's CERTAINLY Ezra Jack Keats, so even if it's not mine, I'm keeping.
Thank you so much. This book is precisely why I'm only *mostly* Nook, and not all Nook yet or ever. It's a very thoughtful gift, and I can't wait for a chance to curl up with it properly.

Cagney loves his prezzie!
I just want to kiss his cute face! (I am not the Secret Santa; I am not anyone's Secret Santa. I just wanted to comment on the cuteness of Cagney.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I AM SO IN FOR THIS IDEA I DO NOT EVEN KNOW.
I could go for a super super slacker exchange. We could also celebrate Groundhog Day and Arbor Day.
That definitely could be a lot of fun. I have no beads, either, but I could get behind restricting the gift palette to Mardi Gras colors.
How does this sound: Gifts to be given between Feb 1 and April 30th, and there has to be some tie-in to some holiday or observance within that period?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Er...how does one access a Slacker giftee list for addresses and other info?
Thanks!

My Secret Santa package is in the mail! I have accomplished one thing! Now I have to make brownies for a work party and it's 11:30. What.
