Goodbye and Good Riddance 2013: That Was the Year That Was  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Okay, I do enjoy playing voyeur to the Secret Santa exchange.

Dillo's class sang "There was a pig went out to dig," (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEYdwjBuRKw) at the school holiday concert last night. So some places do traditional carols!

You guys, I forgot about this thread until today! I wasn't subscribed to it for some reason. I love reading about everyone's Secret Santa shenanigans, even though I also didn't have the spoons to participate.

The holiday ones, smooched together on and under the mantle. [link]

Are they all from anonymous people, or did they sign their names? Because I want to know who sent the Free Beer card. That is hilarious!

There are names in some. Some people have sent more than one. I'll look at that card when I get home, or maybe the person can email you.
