Goodbye and Good Riddance 2015: Goodnight moon  

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.

Go away, 2015.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Suzi! Thank you for the pretty card and the beautiful red sparkly snowflake! They arrived today, and aside from lights and the angel topper, your snowflake was the first (and only, so far) ornament on the tree.

So far this year I'm excelling at slacking. No cards written, addressed, or sent at all. I did get a birthday card in the mail on time for my turning-96 year old friend and former writing group member, so I'm counting that one as a win.

Things are stalled while I try to remember where I put the rassenfrassen red tapers. The candlesticks are out and the greenery ready, I just can't find the damned candles...

Suzi, thank you for the snowflake! I'm trying to find a place to hang it where it won't immediately become a cat toy for Vlad.

Y'all are welcome. I sent out 96 of the snowflakes I made. I kept one of each color for my own tree.

Suzi, my snowflake just arrived. Thank you so much! It's lovely.

Punishingly Intricate

I got some cute, funky earrings from my Secret Santa a while ago and totally forgot to post about it. Thanks, Secret Santa!!!

Oh, yes, thanks for the reminder, lisah. I got some cool fancy chocolate - with almonds and GOLD, I'm assuming from my Secret Santa. I haven't broken into it yet, it is too pretty. Thank you, thank you!!!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I also got a lovely snowflake and it made me smile.

My elf gift is waiting for me at my parents' house! I'm so excited.

Sounds like you needed a smile. Glad it brought you a bit of brightness.
