Yay! Glad it all got to you okay. Have a wonderful trip.

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.

Suzi, the other package got here! I was thrilled to find it was from Shiro cosmetics. I am wearing Red in My Ledger right now AIFG. Thank you, my dear.

THANK YOU LISA H!!!
I came home yesterday to find a package with robot socks, Edgar Allen Poe bandages, a cool calendar, and best of all, the new Kate Beaton book!!!
I, however, am still going to be super, super late sending my gifts, because I have a cold and I have no energy and I suck. Sorry, Santee.

As a sidenote (reading about the best socks ever) I once found some that were perhaps a runner-up - socks with, knitted in, "Dear Santa ... I Can Explain". Bought them for several friends and my sister ... somehow neglected to get my own pair. sigh ....

Glad you like the socks, Suzi. I can't resist a good pair of Xmas socks, and found several this year that needed good homes.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
My finances have been extremely tight this year, so I've had to keep non-essential spending to a minimum. However, the B&N down the street from my office is closing and just about everything's drastically reduced, so I bought myself a present. A sonic screwdriver. It lights up and makes noises. Unfortunately, it doesn't do anything terribly useful, but I'm having fun with it.

Fun is useful!
Todd, I've been so busy lately that I totally forgot about the B&N. It's probably cleaned out by now, so I regret missing my opportunity but I'm glad you found something you like.
The problem with sonic screwdrivers for me would be deciding which one I prefer.
Which Doctor does yours represent?

Msbelle, thank you so much for the iTunes gift card! I'll have loads of fun choosing music.

Bonny, oh, Bonny! I picked up your package today and before I finished reading the card I was in tears. Thank you for sharing such a precious gift with me. For those of you who haven't seen them yet, I posted a picture on Facebook [link] of the beautiful armwarmers and headband Bonny made with buttons from her grandfather's Navy uniform from WWII. I'm still tearing up just thinking about them. I am so honored you would share those with me. Thank you.
But not just that! I received Captain America playing cards in a collectible tin, a tea sampler, a hypertrochoid art set (basically a Spyrograph set for grown-ups, which I can't wait to try) and a number of single-shot comics from various fandoms, which will go to the top of my reading pile.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtfully chosen set of secret santa gifts, Bonny, they rock my world.
And, I also have to thank ms_belle for the iTunes card! I'm looking forward to adding new music to my collection!
