With the collision of holidays, the paper went a little overboard with their reports. One was a long story on a "Nava-Jew" family (Orthodox Jews, the mother is Navajo ... she sometimes has to leave the powdered milk out of her frybread) and coverage of "menurkey" sales (menorahs shaped like turkeys).
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

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!

I don't think the thread opening was announced. Maybe people don't know. I'm going to put a post in press.

Dear Secret Santa Recipient: I have your gift! I'm just a lazy SOB. Will work on that tomorrow...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have acquired gifts for my giftee also! But should I wait and send them closer to Christmas? And how do we preserve anonymity when sending presents? Just not use a return address?

Because books.
You don't have to be anonymous if you don't want to!
So far I am still making notes and compiling ideas, but I like the gifts to arrive closer to Christmas.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I've got the majority of my giftee's stuff together. I need to buy one more thing, and I may bake some cookies to send.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've ordered stuff and had it sent to the giftee, and also not used a return address, but have mostly been more of a surprise gifter than a secret one.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Me too!
Maybe.
