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.

quester, thank you so much!

I picked up my package today. I posted a photo in the FB group, but I am positively delighted by a treasure trove of goodies:

Bacon soap, bacon bandades, a lovely magnet, a bobble head General Leia, a Rogue One calendar, Star Wars stickers, a Wonder Woman ornament, a 3-d metal Enterprise model to put together, and a Star Trek communicator pin.

I've died and gone to favorite things heaven. I should probably try to stay there for the next four years, at least.

Thank you!!

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

General Leia was a late addition. I bought it the day Carrie died.

Thank you, secret Santa, for the lovely mug, coffee, and card! I'm looking forward to enjoying the first two tomorrow morning. The last one I'm enjoying now.

ETA: And thank you for the lovely scarf!

Meara, I've just been notified by the magazine company that there was a glitch in the order for Seattle magazine. They say that it has been straightened out now and that you should begin receiving it in about 6 weeks. Could you let me know if and when you get it, so I can agitate if they don't come through? Thanks.

Sure will do!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

This thread is still open? Cool, 'cause... I got a holiday card today! Thank you, msbelle! That's so much more fun than the rest of my mail.

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

Before we close this I'd like to thank everyone who sent me mail last year (and this). I may have neglected to thank you then, for which I'm sorry, but your mail made me feel better in a very rough year. Thank you, you darling people!

Thrive to spite them

I did too! I'm redoing my room a bit and I already changed the closet into a computer nook ( of sorts) and I'm going to hang up the various cards and things I have from Buffistas around for decoration
