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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I also got a dumpster fire 2016 ornament from smonster! SO PERFECT. Thank you!

I have all the things assembled to send a gift to my Elfster-select, and will be able to mail it on Friday. Sorry for the delay!

Our wings are not tired.

Yesterday I was gifted by the lovely Santameara but I waited until this morning while sipping delicious Chocolate Chili Chai to post the pictures. [link] Penzey's spice, because spice is life, and silicone mini muffin pans that I have been wanting to try, and more pretty silicone kitchen utensils too! And chocolate! Thank you so much for the awesome gifting!

Our wings are not tired.

Timing was perfect! I was too crazed over December to properly enjoy. I am looking forward to trying out the silicone pans. Thank you!

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

I've messaged some of you and I know several gifts are en-route, but if you have not received a gift, could you email me or PM me on FB?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I put my gift in the mail today, so I hope my poor giftee will have joy soon.

2016 sucked a lot on the macro and micro levels. I ate my depression so my doctor will not be happy with me when I have my physical next week. I blame Trump.

I just can't spell out what sucked for me personally. It's still too depressing to think about. But, I'm still here and I still have you guys, that helps in so many ways.

general hugs around, we all need them.

Got a surprise calendar in the mail today. Thank you Java cat.

I also got a calendar, and earrings! I laughed out loud at the note on the calendar, which is of tattoos, that said "only two of the months are guys!"

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

Thank you to my C. Kret Santa for the wonderful "Buffy staked Edward" tshirt that was waiting for me when I got back to work last week! I saw the Redbubble package and got so!excited! 'cause Redbubble always means awesomeness. :-D Also, the FIVE pairs of socks that I ordered with the gift certificate came in yesterday, and suddenly the coming week is going to be so much better. (Pics in the b.org FB group.)

(ETA: msbelle told me there was also a donation made in my name--I never saw the email, maybe it landed in my junk box?--but thank you for that too!)

And I totally forgot to thank the Buffista Elf for the hilarious Cats Against the World expansion pack for Cards Against Humanity! Gotta get a card game together so I can see how these babies play out. :-D Thank you, msbelle!
