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...
It's option 2. I've been told to point out that there is a note in the travel mug.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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.

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

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?

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am concerned that packages I sent last week are not received.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My BFF's most special, nigh-irreplaceable present was delayed over two weeks from sending to delivery. We were sure it was lost. The day we decided to call and file a claim, it showed up. No idea what happened. But it wasn't damaged, so we figured it got lost under a chair somewhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I got a package from amyth! With many lovely things in it! I'm saving the wrapped ones for later, but I already see great-smelling teas and omNom chocolate (which I saw for sale in Iceland!) and a big-ass candy cane! Thanks!!

Oh yay! I'm so glad it actually got there on the day they said it would!

I am about to get on a plane, so I won't be around to open packages until the 28th.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Heard back from the guy who hosted the less-than-awesome party with the predatory towtruck - the earring has been found! Yay, tiny redemption of crapstorm day!
