Huh, finally got to the post office & mailed a couple of things that have been waiting, but forgot to invoke Spartacus. Oh well, they're from Me, Recipients, so there!
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

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!

Now I'm trying to picture the Spartacus invocation ritual.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
EPIC!! Where the Wild Things Are knitting needles. You GUYS! They are the awesome. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
AND I got a foxy card from Spartacus.
I am wondering in my little head if this thread should be shut down OR if the spirit of Spartacus is such that something new is needed.
If we close the thread (now would be the time, yes, maybe even a little late already) where would Spartacus news go? Natter?

Well, I'm glad I got to sneak in to say that you all are wonderful.
I got an adorable card from Spartacus today. It would NOT have been more perfect.
The sentiment on the front is "The weatherman said that today was a good day to send sunshine to somebody you love". Inside, there are 17 suns, ALL labeled Spartacus!
The thing is, this has been the harshest winter I've ever experienced. The weather has been intolerable and, today, it has been so grey and dreary and damp-chilled. Demoralizing.
The sunny sentiment and sweet nature of the Buffista I'm pretty sure sent it, really lifted my day.
Thank you so much!

One other thought about the thread. I don't want to subvert the natural order of things but I've really appreciated that, a fourth of the way into the year, there is a place to mention nice things we do for each other.
Nice to reflect on that rather than remembering all the hard stuff at the end of the year.

Doesn't slacker secret santa run through the end of March? Am I remembering that wrong?

This is such a lovely sentiment, bonny!
