I got the most adorable Christmas card ever from sj. Ltc is just akdlfj;akfds;lfaj. I get a big grin on my face every time I look at it.
I also got a nifty placeholder gift from my secret santa, a Buffista.org refrigerator magnet. Thank you!
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I got a card from sj, too--what a gorgeous little girl. Happy Christmas indeed!
crossposted--Laura, that's all just wonderful to hear. So happy for them, and for you!

Dear Secret Santee, the package will be mailed soon. I ordered something today that I hope I get this week and then I'll be ready to send. Hang in there. I hope it will be a New Year's gift.

I came home to an unexpected book on roses. Was this my secret Santa? It's lovely, but I didn't see any indication of where/who it's from. Thank you, if it's from you! It's huge, and has tons of info on one of my favorite plants.

Got back in town last night, checked mail this morning, and there's a lovely "Calm Coloring Book" waiting for me from a Buffista elf. Thank you! The calming part is especially appreciated.

Came home today from a week away to find packages from both my Secret Santa and the Buffista Elf! I have deduced that Anne W. was my Santa, and she did a wonderful job: she made a donation to a local-to-me org that provides services to the homeless, plus she sent me delicious-smelling lavender-oat soap! Thank you so much.
And I was so touched to get a package from the Buffista Elf to boot: an iTunes gift card and another sweet-smelling soap!
Thank you both; it lifted my spirits to open your gifts, and to be the recipient of such generosity and thoughtfulness.

I was elfed, today, too! I received a spiffy Iron Man drinking glass. Fortunately, it does not have a repulsor on the bottom, so it won't jump out of my hand unexpectedly. I hope. Depends on how often I refill it, I suppose.

Oh, maybe I got elfed instead of Secret Santa-ed. In any case, I love the lemony soap and iTuens gift card!
And my giftee will be getting a preliminary gift next week. Ahem.
