Yes, my package arrived about two weeks ago. I'd *planned* to open it on the 21st, since there was a Yule theme to the hints, but the Urchins and I had just pulled off a minor miracle. (We went out, had lunch, chose and cut the tree, and had it set up in the living room in less than four hours flat. Appropriate swearing was permitted, and we were all still on speaking terms.) The mail arrived, and they were dying to see what it was. It was/is from Micca, and Oh My Sweet Fuzzy Ducklings!! There's a penguin keychain (how did you know that the local university's mascot is a penguin?)a real Christmas pudding, one of those sectioned chocolate oranges that I do _not_ intend to share with my teens, some hard candy that I might share, and more chocolate that I'm hoping they've forgotten they've forgotten about. I now own an egg cup (gotta try that out soon - wish me luck). Then there's a very elegant hip flask, two homegrown cd's with 'Catters on them to turn me on to his local folk scene,and ohmyghod a copy of Pagan Imagery in English Folksong by Bob Stewart! I won't have to interlibrary loan it anymore. I could go on and on, but I don't like to slaver and drool so much that it makes a bad impression. (his handwriting's better than mine as well) (and it impressed the everloving out of two teenagers) Thank you so much! Mary
