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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Yesterday, I got a surprise package from smonster -- socks that say Jingle Bells [Batsignal] Smells [Robin logo] Laid an Egg!

I immediately put them on to wear to family festivities. Best socks ever!

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

Hooray! I'm glad you like it all, msbelle!

So I suck and my gift is in a box by the door. I don't have all of it ready yet but I'm working on it.

Punishingly Intricate

Came home from Michigan to a package with a from address of Raleigh, NC but no name. It's chock full of prezzies! I've opened 2--awesome King Cake xmas tree ornament (awesome and intriguing!) and a John Denver & the Muppets xmas cd (awesome and hilarious!)--but now we are heading to a holiday party so I'll have to open the rest later tonight or tomorrow before we head for freaking Iceland!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ohhh, I forgot you were going to Iceland for New Years! Have a wonderful time! I will want to hear all about it.
