This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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.

Oh yes! Mine is hanging from the antlers of a silver reindeer statue. Lovely. Thanks you!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

My Secret Santa gifts will probably arrive in spurts, and I don't think they'll arrive before the 25th.

But they are on their way!

ETA: Suzi, thank you for the snowflake! XOXO

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Okay! I opened my gift a few days ago but haven't had a chance to thank my elf properly. And by my superior powers of deduction, since she included no card, I guess that my elf is SUZI. I got some chocolate, tea, and candies; a super clever gift box made from a plastic bottle; an adorable sloth tea steeper, which will be great for reminding me to take time to be slothy, and a tiara! I wore the tiara to hang with my bellydancer friends, and they all loved it. Thank you, Suzi!

(okay if it's not Suzi I will feel real dumb, but I compared handwriting and all)

My package is on its way, but will probably get there the 26th.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I just got LDBed. It was in the store where we were getting UP style pasties though, so totally worth it.

Punishingly Intricate

My package is on its way, but will probably get there the 26th.

Likewise! I tried so hard to get it in the mail on Monday and it just couldn't happen so we stopped on the way to the airport Tuesday morning. It's slightly possible that I may have mixed up the package meant for my Santee and for my 1-year old cousin so...let me know if you get tiny adorable socks and bath toys!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hee! I'm loving the idea of that mixup.

I was LDB'd twice yesterday. I figure making it to Dec 23 is pretty good and at least it was Bowie/Crosby both times.

Your powers of deduction are correct, smonster. There should be a separate package of a couple other small goodies coming your way, but I'm not sure when.

I tried to stick with Colorado or up cycled stuff... wish I could have delivered them personally. One day I'll get to New Orleans.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

Suzi, I'm your Santa. Glad you liked everything--the palm trees felt like the biggest coup. Lee, I opened the flamingo wine stopper, which did, in fact arrive safe and sound(Had kind of a rotten day Tues, felt like I needed a prize) Love it.

Thank you so much Erika!!! I adore everything. I can't wait to hang up the palm trees. Just need to find the right frame.
