Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: CapriUni Date: 10 Dec 07 - 01:31 PM I'm just wondering if my Santa is out there... or just Internet shy... Is it time to start up a Silent Santa Support group for 2007? |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: ClaireBear Date: 10 Dec 07 - 12:00 PM Dear Santa, I am smiling already in anticipation, but I am alternating the smile with a look of utter perplexity as I attempt in vain to figure out who you are. (See my earlier messages in this thread.) Thank you so much! As I mentioned before, I will be leaving your gift untouched until Christmas, but you will certainly hear from me then. Happy Christmas! Claire |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,KarenK's Somewhat Slackerish Secret Santa Date: 10 Dec 07 - 09:58 AM Karen, not to worry, I've been bustling around the North Pole and found a few things which might just make your Christmas more enjoyable. The box is all packed up, shipping label attached, and will be posted this very day. I hope your Christmas season continues to be bright and merry. Yours very sincerely, Santa |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: Joybell Date: 10 Dec 07 - 06:15 AM Hello Santa. Thank you for the message. Late is OK. Tell the reindeer to fly safely. I'll be waiting. Cheers, Joy with excitment |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,ClaireBears Secret Santa Date: 09 Dec 07 - 04:14 PM Well, ClaireBear? Hope your Xmas is just terrific and your parcel makes you smile. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,, Barden of England's SS Date: 09 Dec 07 - 03:33 PM Santa has been run ragged this year and, alas, hasn't had time for appearances here. But I've just packaged up some goodies for you which early Tuesday morning I will entrust to my loyal elves at the US Postal Service. (See -- I think that qualifies as a hint, doesn't it?) Here's hoping that this year they will actually ship it on board a fast-flying jet plane as they are paid to (unlike another year when they took my money and shipped it via a tramp steamer through the Panama Canal, outrigger canoe through the Pacific islands, rickshaw to Mongolia, Tuvan pony express to Europe, barge down major riverways stopping for sightseeing in quaint villages, found somebody to swim the package across the Channel and then took the scenic route by foot to my Secret Santee). Hope it reaches you soon! SS (which, besides being the abbreviation for Secret Santa, is two of my own three initials) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Vectisssss Santa of the Secret Kind. Date: 09 Dec 07 - 02:07 PM Hello Mary You are most welcome, it wasmy pleasure. I am a fellow cross stitcher, tend to only do christmas goodies though. The calendar, Liz told me that you came from the Isle of Wight some years ago. Enjoy New Zealand - safe journey. Sotsk |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Mrzzy's satisfied Secret Santa Date: 09 Dec 07 - 11:39 AM So pleased to know the package arrived safely, despite the somewhat fudged customs declaration. And even more pleased to hear that the contents have been well received, even though I would have thought the Christmas wrapping might have been a clue to the nature of the gifts (ie that they should be opened at Christmas, rather than before). But I will not become grudging or grumpy at this point ...Happy Christmas, Sunny Solstice and Cool Yule to you and yours, Mrzzy! |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,MeganL's Inconspicuous Secret Santa Date: 08 Dec 07 - 03:00 PM Well, Megan, my Dear, I'm glad the various little trinkets meet with your approval and that you like the edible items. We aim to please, you know :-) You don't have to thank me on a daily basis, but it's nice to hear that you like the presents I've selected. How is your Dauvitt getting on, does he still enjoy sucking his dummy and does it keep him docile? As to your first observation, you're absolutely right. Well done ;o) But my abode... you know, don't you, that Santa lives on the North Pole? Santa travels around a lot, though, and, China apart, I have visited the 3 other places mentioned. I have also visited your beautiful home country. China wouldn't have come into it, if that disoriented little elf hadn't gotten lost in transit on his way to Australia.. I'm glad he did make it there in the end, pity he didn't buy the items he was sent out to procure! He's still busy counting peedie bits, you know. Yours inconspicuously, MISS |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: SINSULL Date: 08 Dec 07 - 02:13 PM A package has arrived from Alaska. Is "Betty" my SS? Do I dare open it pre-Christmas? Inquiring minds want to know. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: katlaughing Date: 08 Dec 07 - 02:08 PM Dear Santa, My presents arrived!! Loved the card and thanks for the kind message. Oh, you are so SWEET and so were the chocolates! Thank you, so much. We will decorate sometime this next week, so I'll open that one then. Now, let's see which of those cultural celebrations listed comes first, then I'll know when I can open the last package and find out who you are! Naw, I'll probably wait for Christmas as that is when the rest of the family open theirs. I gggguess I can wait that long. I know Mudcat Central has the same postal cancellation, so you must be nearby OR you were devious enough to have Max post it for you! **bg** Thank you, thank you! kat |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: Megan L Date: 08 Dec 07 - 12:17 PM Dear Santa Day 8 You light up my life :)and the chocies are delicious. Now for the serious stuff of the santa identification prade hmm let me see. "Well ocifer my santa could be a lassie or maybe a laddie. That should narrow it down a bit. What ocifer you want to know where they come from? Hmm weel the live in London and oxford, thats when they are not in China or Australia. Then again the clue about the black and white doggie could mean they have lived in The highlands or passed by while monty was visiting. *smiles broadly I am doing really well this year. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: vectis Date: 08 Dec 07 - 11:56 AM Thank you Santa your pressie arrived safely. I haven't been on line for a coupla days. I opened it today as we celebrated St Nicholas instead of Christmas here with the relatives. Thank you very much for the cutter and the cross stitch. That'll keep me out of mischief for a while. Where on Earth did you find that calender. It brought back so many memories of home. Thank you so much it was all brilliant. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Joybell's joyful Bell jingler Date: 08 Dec 07 - 03:29 AM Joybell, ma dahlink, if December 25th arrives before your package, keep up your hope. You ARE remembered... I just sent my flying reindeer out to gather various and sundry for your pressie package, and they got a bit lost.* So your gift may be late. But it will still be coming... Rest assured. (And aparently, so did this [contrite] jingler)... sorry. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: Liz the Squeak Date: 08 Dec 07 - 02:38 AM To Vectissss' Santa - she was preparing for her visit so may not have had time to post. I'm sure she'll check in once everything is settled. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Alison's Secret Santa Date: 07 Dec 07 - 06:42 PM You haven't been around much - I hope everything is ok with you. Your package has been consigned to the tender mercies of the post, and I have great hopes that you will see it sometime before the heat death of the universe. In the event that it arrives in the next 10 days, as "promised", you may certainly use your own judgment as to waiting until Christmas or not. One caution - you may wish to open the box in an enclosed space...the packing material may attempt to escape. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Vectisssss Santa of the Secret Kind. Date: 07 Dec 07 - 05:40 PM Hellooooo to you Mary. I'm getting a little worried, I posted your parcel along with one to a member of my family, their's arrived the following day, but no news from you? Sotsk |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: JennieG Date: 07 Dec 07 - 03:14 PM Oooh Santa...leaving the pole? are you a pole dancer? I have seen the penguins on Philip Island, they are very cute but they smell fishy. My son had penguins swimming alongside the boat he was on off the tip of Cape Horn earlier this year. I am desperately behaving, I am even speaking to Himself again, and am feeling more chipper. Yours in anticipation JennieG |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: Mrrzy Date: 07 Dec 07 - 02:11 PM Well, since I didn't see the "don't open till Christmas" until after I'd opened (no, really - no, really!), I now know that my wonderful secret Santa lives in Wales - I love the tea! I am hiding the lovely chocs-you-can't-get-here from my kids! And the music is, even more so, just loverly... we all like it! And I had, of course, heard of the Child's Christmas in Wales, but had never read it, fâheuse lacune now remedied to even more delight! I really have the best SS there is. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Dec 07 - 01:46 PM Thank you on behalf of Limpit, for our Australian Santa present which arrived today. Being the dreadful mother I am, I left her unsupervised for a while and she found the present, so she's opened it already... She's very happy with it though, and we'll probably let her use it on Christmas day. She was particularly taken by the little envelope inside and its contents... Thank you so much! LTS for Limpit. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Jennie G's SSS Date: 07 Dec 07 - 12:22 PM Well my little marsupial, my little plat billed duckypuss, are you poised in anticipation? Even now the 6 snow white boomers are girding their lions, or do I mean loins? Whatever, the goodies from Old Insanity Clause, are just about to leave the pole, not German but pole. Now this pole doesn't have penguins, not like them Fairy Penguins on Philip Island, where they also have Nobbies, which sounds very rude to me! How I wish old Santa's workshop had been at the South Pole, Santa likes penguins. Very nice in a stew I believe ;) So keep behaving, and getting better too, otherwise you won't enjoy my goodies. G'day JO'sSS |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: ClaireBear Date: 07 Dec 07 - 12:02 PM I didn't hit send, but it went. Sorry about that! So Santa has apparently arrived in early in California from far-off Australia, and I hadn't even made the lasagne yet. Thank you, dearest Santa! And thanks will come again once the mysterious package has been opened on Christmas morning. Santa, I now know something about your non-Mudcat self -- what amazing work you are doing in many areas! -- and I am also very curious about your Mudcat identity, but I am reluctant to open the parcel until the day, in case what's inside is not wrapped. Tell me Santa, would it by safe to open the parcel and look for a note inside, or would that ruin the Christmas surprise? (Or, would it be a good idea for mew to ask my husband to look inside for a note and then seal it up again for opening on Christmas morning?) Yours, Claire |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: ClaireBear Date: 07 Dec 07 - 11:49 AM A mysterious package has arrived at my house from the land of Oz. It's add done up in red foil, and something inside seems to be singing: Friar birds sip the nectar of flowers Currawongs chant in wattle tree bowers In the blue ranges lorikeets calling Carols of bush birds rising and falling Orana! Orana! Orana to Christmas Day. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: Wesley S Date: 07 Dec 07 - 09:27 AM The following was written by a local comedy group called "Four Day Weekend" Bush Shocked To Find Osama Bin Laden Was His Secret Santa Washington, DC—President Bush learned the identity of his secret Santa early Sunday morning after nearly a month of speculation by the Chief Executive. Bush found a note tucked into his final present of the season that said, "Surprise! It's me. Osama bin Santa." President Bush was surprised by the revelation. "Boy, do I have egg on my face today," admitted Bush. "I guess I should have known it was him because each time I got a gift it said, 'Merry Christmas, you American pig.' I just assumed it was Senator Craig in one of his homophobic drunken rages." White House Press Secretary Dana Perino issued a statement saying that the President intends on returning the gifts that he received from bin Laden due to a conflict of interest. "The president feels that since he is trying to hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden he would be sending the wrong message to keep the gifts. Everything will be returned except for the case of Johnny Walker Blue. JW Blue is premier scotch and no infidel should have it in their possession." |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Da BOSS Date: 06 Dec 07 - 12:30 AM Happy Saint Nicholas' Day to you, my little smoked herring! Your gift has been dispatched from my workshop and should reach you soon via my office in the UK. You may open the main box when it arrives, you've had instructions before about the contents. I've tried to follow the rules: something from my homeland, one of my CDs, a local delicacy or two. You are welcome to regift some items if you feel they do not meet your exacting standards. I'm sure there is a small furry animal near you who will be happy to help. Now be good, keep watching the skies! Da BOSS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Mrs. Cobble's Staff-depleted Santa Date: 05 Dec 07 - 10:55 PM Knowing and seeing all when I have the time, I knew that you had briefly waylaid a few members of my delivery service. Suspicion was first aroused when they called in sick and the phone machine tape sounded like they were saying they'd "taken absinthe without leave". Is THAT what you gave them? Anyway, if they're not back to work and ready for the next assignment by next Monday, you will have many more visitors who kick ass and take names when enforcing the International Fugitive Elf Laws as laid down by the Dreaded Scout Decision. Albyemeeze Elf and Besidemeeze Elf (They probably introduced themselves as Albie and Sid) have been bad little boys and will be dealt with in their own way and time, but let them moonlight for you for a few days in search of Borrowers, pairs of scissors and unmatched single socks, as they brought the delivery job in ahead of schedule. Any further tardiness, though, will NOT be condoned! This from one who knows and sees all, and who will be closly monitoring videotape, AND who has the power to transform your precious pressie into something else entirely if crossed. Watch out, don't cry, don't pout, and rest ye merry! Santa |
