The chocolate will not be a problem. Phew.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

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.

I got home last night, and there was a package waiting for me from lisah! Two kinds of chocolate bark, a tin of what I think are small chocolate figures that you melt into things (haven't opened it yet, but it's coming), and two pairs of socks! One with monkeys, and one with what looks like an 8-bit Wonder Woman, which is ridiculously adorable. Thanks, lisah!

Punishingly Intricate
Yay! Glad it was waiting for you! The tin is drinking chocolate with little figures in it that melt into the drink...or something. It sounded tasty and adorable!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Tom's giftee got her gift! And, now that the dust from all the holiday scampering around has settled, is swouncing over it.
What did she get from Tom? In addition to the aforementioned Trashed, an absolutely gorgeous-looking comic book called Witchling, which she hasn't even dared to open yet but is already deeply in love with.
She also got two bars of Brooklyn-made Raaka chocolates, which she has already sampled and found very good indeed.
Not only that, but she got a Brooklyn DIY Supply make-your-own-cocktails-bitters kit.
THEN, she found (thoughtfully sealed in a Ziploc bag so the natural oils and scents wouldn't make the chocolate go all funny-tasting) a glorious bar of soap from Brooklyn apothecary Meow Meow Tweet (as it happens, she loves getting local things by local people that nobody but people in her secret Santas' neighborhoods can track down, and now she's got an embarrassment of local riches). The soap is scented with essential oils of rosemary and lime and smells crazy good.
And, as if that weren't enough, she received a gorgeous Kate Beaton calendar tea towel, which will take pride of place in her office cubicle alongside the Katniss Everdeen Barbie Emmett got her.
But wait! There's more! As if the above weren't more than enough awesome for any mere mortal, she found that Scola had achieved 100% pure undiluted full-strength Scolatude by tucking in a CARD GAME. Not just any card game, but this card game. Truly, the man is a master of Secret Santaness, and his recipient bows before him.
It was all so, so very worth the wait, and Tom's Santee wishes for him in the coming year that all his goodness come back to him tenfold, which is exactly no less than he deserves.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I came in to work this morning to discover a box from DC sitting on my desk. I'm waiting until I get home to open it. It's taunting me in the meantime.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Santee, the second part of your gift has been mailed. I hope you will get it this week or early next.
