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

Closed Threads

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just got a great package from amych!! A "fuck off" coloring book for 2016, a gorgeous scarf for 2017 (although I'll start wearing it immediately!!), and a really lovely note and donation to PP. Thank you!!

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

I got lovely cards from Debet and SueO.

Amych is off my list of potentials. And then there were 3.

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

Buffista elf appeared and gifted me with a Wonder Woman water bottle and some nummy chocolate caramels (which happen to be a favorite!). I had totally forgotten that there might be gifts coming, so that was nice

Punishingly Intricate

Things in my Box o' Canadianness from Sue include: super cozy Canadian flag mittens, local coffee, local blueberry rum chocolate balls, local chocolate caramel bar (that I ate up right away! NOMS), a Canadian passport ornament that went right up on the tree, a card game where you guess who's a Canadian or not, a bag of "Chicken Bones" (cinnamon candy filled with chocolate...regional treats for the win!), and a CD of Canadian music which I haven't played yet but which my Canadian citizen husband says is probably "all the Hip."

So generous, Sue!! Made my & Canadian Bob's Christmas!

hip deep in pie

Aw, I'm so happy that you liked it.

There is only one Hip song, and even then I had to obtain it to put it on the mix.
