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’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Man, I can't remember what the soap was! But it was mild.

The glass is made by my friend Andrew, that is one of my favorite pieces of his.

I'm glad you liked everything.

For those not on FB, Tom finally got his Santa present in the mail a couple days ago; so happy he liked his Brooklyn-themed presents! Thanks for those who participated in the postcard project.

Officially concerned about the package I've sent. If it remains in the ether for another week, I will send a replacement. Sorry, giftee. It really should have been there by now.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I got a message on Elfster that my Secret Santa was sending me the second half of my present (even though what I got was wonderful and plenty!) and I just want to let my Santa know that I am in New York until Sunday night, and have been since Dec. 26. However, my neighbor has been getting my mail for me, and she emailed me earlier in the week to let me know that I received a package. I may not cross paths with my neighbor to get my mail until the middle of next week, but if anyone is concerned about package arrival and me, I'm pretty sure it arrived.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I have not yet received a package, and if my elf is just slacking a wee bit please don't feel bad! I am a little concerned because my neighborhood has an issue with packages disappearing, so I'm going to start having packages delivered to a local shipping store. I will change my shipping address in Elfster but wanted to mention it here, too.

Compassionately intolerant

msbelle, did you receive a package from me over the holidays? You should have. I didn't ask for tracking, but might be able to follow up on it.
