Goodbye and Good Riddance 2017: That'll put marzipan in your pie plate, Bingo!
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, 2017. You have a lot to turn around, 2018. Bring it on.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
What is going on Santas and Santees? I've heard precious little from people, do you need help?
Any gifts or communications yet?
Did you not sign up but want to be a mayhem elf? Contact me, I'll give you a name at random to send something to. Better yet just scroll through your contact lists and mail something out to the person you stop on, buffista or not! MAYHEM OF JOY!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I got a package yesterday, and opened it today! My Secret Santa did a good job of hiding their identity. Anyhow, I am enamored of my holiday fuzzy socks (always useful as I have hardwood floors and am stingy with the heat) and some scented pencils.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I got one part of my gift sent off today and am hoping to get the other in the mail before Xmas.

Msbelle, thank you for the card, and ltc said thank you for the stickers. She loves them!

Because books.
My gift will go out probably on Tuesday, unfortunately, between working and budget. I have everything, I just have to pack it up and get it to the post office.
And I received two adorable pairs of earrings, and two gorgeous hand-painted art cards (one Sam and Dean, one Wash) from my Secret Santa! Thank you!

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
I received my gift, and it was very literary: a pair of fingerless gloves with lines from Anne of Green Gables on them, band aids with Shakespearean insults on them, a tiny book filled with quotations by women, and the soundtrack to Outlander, all from erin_obscure. Thank you so much! I love it all!

Our wings are not tired.
I sent one irresistible thing directly from Amazon so it would happen before Christmas morning, but the personal stuff remains unfinished.

amyth!!! I love my gifts! Thank you so much!
I think the package may have arrived yesterday or possibly even the day before, but we've been getting so many packages all this past couple of weeks* that I didn't even look closely at the return address until I happened to see it on top of the stack in our bedroom this morning as I was getting dressed -- and I saw it was from you! And I opened it right away and found the warmest, most gorgeous scarf, plus a pair of awesomely fierce black-cat socks, AND a lovely, heartfelt card from you. I love it all. I'm wearing the scarf and the socks right now, AIFG! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
*We're hosting my parents, my brother, and my aunt for Christmas, all of whom have sent numerous packages ahead of their arrival, and I've also ordered several things online, and there's nowhere to put it all except the floor of our small bedroom. So basically the bedroom is a life-size version of a Jenga game at the moment.
