I vote for THE HARDEST.
My gift's eta at its recipient's place of work was yesterday or today.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

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!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That period between sending off your gift and its eventual arrival. Hard, or THE HARDEST?
Not as hard as the period between getting your present (at work, which makes me think I know who they are from) (which makes me smile A LOT)and being able to open them.
I am telling myself I will wait until I get home to unwrap everything, but I am not sure that will happen.

Of course there are still many more minutes and right there in the decryption of this exchange on elfster it says gifts can arrive THRU THE END OF THE YEAR OKEY DOKEY ARTICHOKEY.
Thank goodness. Because, um, yeah. Things. Stuff. Additional chaos which is not mine to talk about, but it effects me. BUT I WILL GET MY SECRET SANTA STUFF TO MY GIFTEE BEFORE 2014.

I will be out of town between Christmas and New Year's, so if my gift arrives in that window I won't see it until the New Year. Just in case! Don't want my Santa to worry.

We got gifts from Polgara that I was certain were SS gifts. But it was just Polgara filled with the awesomeness and generosity that is Polgara. Noah and I talked today about how she was like our Santa this year (since we don't do Santa).

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I had the best mail day today! First, there were cookies from Juliana, which I can't wait to eat, and then I got a package FULL of pretty pretty presents, which I finally got to come home and open. SO MUCH COOL STUFF! I got two awesome coloring books, and a great set of color art pencils, and a really cool bracelet, and coffee that smells awesome, and a very cool keychain, and fancy merlot caramels, and two boxes of cookies, and a cool little fixit tool, and an awesome calendar, and other stuff I am forgetting even though it is awesome too.
THANK YOU ANNE!! I LOVE IT ALL!!
