Also, my giftee should know that I consider the gifting season to run through Three Kings Day on Jan 6....

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.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That's why I thought starting on 2/1 would be good, but running for a couple of months would let people use arbor day if they want.
Is that too long a time frame?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Aww, I love that picture of Cagney.
I'm at the point with my Secret Santa gifts where I need to step away from the crafting. I keep getting more ideas! But I need to mail off my package!! ::points index finger at own face:: PUT DOWN THE MODGE PODGE AND CHILL SMONSTER DAMN. /luthor (obama's anger translator)
(Man, that was involved for a joke probably only funny to me and at a minimum seriously compromised by being in text form.)
