Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: We know the world didn't end, because, check it out!  

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, 2016.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

MY PRESENTS!!

I will post pics on fb, but here is what MY AWESOME Secret Santa sent me:

- Beautiful, like seriously such a lovely color and GORGEOUS stitch - HANDMADE fingerless gloves. Which, I kid you not, I was just talking about with someone and I wear in my office all winter AND the ones I have are yuck yuck old acrylic ones. There are alpaca and rayon. soooo soft.

- A cat pen! A pen, in the shape of a cat. And people, IT IS PINK! The cuteness is off the charts.

- a Grumpy Cat sticker that says "I had fun once, it was awful" - it might go to work.

- a couple of the super fun Blue Q socks. One says "I love my job. Ha Ha just kidding" the other "Bitches get stuff done"

- FIREFLY FLUXX CARD GAME!! which is so great, because in the New Year I am going to try to start up a game night once a month at my house.

- Shakespearean insult bandages! hilarious!

- and lastly which I cannot wait to get into - The Not Safe for Work Swearing Coloring Book!

Everything was wrapped separately and had tiny bows on them. I LOVE TINY BOWS.

NO signature. I may resort to looking at postal cancellation, but not yet.

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE WONDERFUL!!

Always Anti-fascist!

Thanks, then, Norah.(One day I'll stop thinking of your cat's name first...you can call me Beastie, if you want, after my departed cat. Or Rocky.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh Erika, no worries! I am happy to be called Burrell for forever. I am never clear anymore on what name to use with folks since on FB I'm myself and here I'm my cat's alter ego.

Which, I kid you not, I was just talking about with someone and I wear in my office all winter AND the ones I have are yuck yuck old acrylic ones.

That was me right? I mean with the conversation about our love of fingerless gloves

I am going to be repping my team and staying warm this winter. Emily made me a green, white, and yellow cowl and hat!!! Loving my A's. I also got a great pun for the cowl, goldtone with green beads! Some very delicious chocolate had already disappeared. She also spoiled me with some chainmail earring kits from a favorite Etsy vendor. And I'm on vacation so I'll get to work on those soon!!!

Thank you Emily, every piece is much appreciated!!

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

Either my elf struck again, or I've been mayhem elfed! I got a shiny gold rainbow-on-a-cloud sticker patch and a beautiful heart-shaped ornament with sugar skulls on it. Thank you, A.N. Elf!

I also got a card from sj with adorable pictures of ltc. Hooray!

In non-Buffista gift news, there was a package waiting for me on my doorstep when I got home. It was a stack of DVDs from a friend from out of town who's moving and purging--a week after I purged half of my DVD collection. ::sigh::

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

amyth, that's proof that the universe requires DVD homeostasis.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm glad you liked the card, amyth.

I didn't do the Secret Santa because Christmas overwhelms me, but if anyone wants to be added to my mailing list for cards next year or possible random gifties at other times of the year, send me your meat space address to my profile addy.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I have arrived in Arizona, where my SS present(s?) are, but have been told that, since they are wrapped, I am not allowed to open them until Christmas.

I protested, but this is How Things Are Done Here.
