A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2014: so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye...  

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.

Buh bye, 2014.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Okay usually I am a hold off until the 25th person but this year I just could not. And have been rewarded for my weakness with cookies!

And monkey candy jewelry! (Dare I say, too much candy...) and a travel mug to feed my habit and a book I've been dying to read. And did I mention cookies!

Extrapolating from the address, It appears to be from a Mathy Jewish Santa (don't tell that lady on your f-list). That or Santa's getting sneaky...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Did your gift technically Little Drummer Boy you?

Also, MONKEY CANDY!

I love seeing/reading about everyone's presents, even though I can't get my act together enough to participate.

It did not! The card specifically said so. I totally thought I'd been LDB-rolled.

Pictures! I want to bite the peanut butter cookie. Beautiful package.

I am in receipt of my package, but am trying to hold off. I'll try to wait until Christmas morning. I may not be able to.....

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Santee, there will be a package, but it won't be there by Christmas, sorry.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It's option 2. I've been told to point out that there is a note in the travel mug.

Hah! I figured as much. I was going to feel really bad if you'd gone out and bought Santa paper on my behalf.

And oops. I expect I'd have found that note before I hit the road for TL, or else had some very fibrous coffee on the road. The answer is dark, unflavored and I use a Melita so ground for paper cone is best. Other than that I'm easy.

And also delighted, and thankful. Did I mention that?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, I've been LDB'd ... waiting for the bus last night, a guy in the rail station was playing a trumpet. Bits and pieces of holiday songs - two or three lines from one song, then two or three from another ... but the LDB was recognizible.

And FedEx seems to have lost the one and only present I sent off (not to a Buffista, but still ....)

Can it be 2015 now? I'd really like a fresh start.
