So did I, Amy!
The timing of it couldn't be better. I'm feeling exhausted and on-edge, and it was such a lovely thing to receive at the end of a long day.
Thank you, not-my-secret-Santa!

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!

That is totes adorbs!
I see what you did there.
I put my package in the mail yesterday. And, once again, I forgot to put a card in it. I think it will be obvious it is from me though.

I got a box! From my secret Santa, with a promise of two more packages! It had a fabulous surfing Santa ornament for my tree, and a Batgirl Pez dispenser, and some lovely candy. Yay for Secret Santas!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hah! I am the Xmas no-shopping shopping queen.
On Sunday I was at Fleet Farm with my sister to pick up a piece of furniture she bought and we found a gorgeous Columbia Sportswear coat [link] that fit and looked great and was seriously discounted from the real price. I called my brother and was all "she needs this, she needs it badly, can this be from you and SIL, I need an answer right now yadda yadda."
[She has the twin challenges of being poor and plus-sized and winter coat shopping is traumatic and demoralizing enough that for the past year or two she'd just given up and was wearing layers and layers of hoodies.]
So having basically hijacked their Christmas present, I just sent him off to the store to buy my present for his wife rather than him paying me back the money for the coat.
And with that, my Xmas shopping is done, and I never had to set foot in a store for that purpose.
