Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Tabster's Secret Santa Date: 30 Nov 07 - 02:29 PM Well, I'll be. That last post was from me, but the elves in the Computer Centre messed it up. Well, I'll deal with them later. What I had posted was that you, Tabster, had had your very own name put into the wrong book! "Tubster" is the one who has been so very very bad; except for the slight incident with the pasta YOU have been have been Extremely Good And In Fact Almost Saintly. In order to make up to you the damage done (and since corrected) you will be receiving some nice things. At least, Santa thinks they're nice. And to expiate his sin of confusing you and Tubster (the cad!) Mugwort Fingerfail, former Clerk in the Office of Naughty or Nice, has been Some Christases Santa just can't get good help. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Dave'sWife's Santa's CRE Date: 30 Nov 07 - 01:41 PM Calling Dave'sWife... Santa is wondering if you are still speaking to him; he hasn't heard from you since he sent you that postcard. Is there something about Tarheel Pie that offended you? No, Santa's not Tarheel, in case you were worried. Mrs. Claus made a simply smashing chess pie recently. All the elves enjoyed it. I might be able to prevail on her to share the recipe. Packages are being assembled, here at the Pole. But some of the, errm, more exotic items have yet to matrialise. We hope to be timely, nonetheless. Do you have any colour preferences beyond 'not orange'? Just wondering... Yours in haste, Silenus Charm, Santa's Crack Research Elf |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Mrzzy's SS Date: 30 Nov 07 - 12:13 PM The elves have taken charge of a package and it is now en route to you. How long it will take depends on the drinking habits of the elves as well as weather conditions and the mood of the reindeer, but I'm hoping you'll receive it well before the Actual Day. We're also a little dependent on the good will of the customs officials, having fudged the customs label to some extent, but we have crossed fingers that all will go well. Do not open ahead of time ...or all will turn to ashes and cinders ... Your well-disposed Santa |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Pseudolus' Secret Santa Date: 30 Nov 07 - 11:19 AM OK, it's on its way!! You may open it when it arrives, but you MUST MUST MUST ignore the boring give-away customs sticker on the outside. Get someone to divert the parcel and take it off, if you can, or the present may self-destruct through not following the rules properly! |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Artbrooks's terribly tardy SS Date: 30 Nov 07 - 10:19 AM I have been a bad Santa and not posted here for quite a while. It's been hell up here in the North Pole. The reindeer have been stuck in the snow, and the internet froze up and all the little packets wouldn't move. Nevertheless, my elves and I are toiling hard to bring you some Christmas Joy in the not too distant future. Just as soon as I can get out the door and dig them out (the reindeer, that is). |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: John MacKenzie Date: 30 Nov 07 - 05:12 AM Dear Santa I thank you for your communication and assure you of my good behaviour, albeit pro tem. I did find that the other parcel was from a different source, good job too, as it contained goods for another person, as well as for me and mine. I have 2 chimneys available for use, neither of which have been used since last Christmas, when a whole Boat came down one. Devotedly and sycophantically yours. Giok |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: Anne Lister Date: 30 Nov 07 - 02:46 AM I'm sure I've been as good as I can and I've done my best to read every single message from you, Santa, even when they were a bit hurtful *sniff* and accusing me of stuff I didn't do *snuffle*. And I really, really, don't deserve to only get coal this year *sob*. I'll just go and sit in a quiet corner until I feel better. Tabs |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: JennieG Date: 29 Nov 07 - 08:18 PM I have been cleaning out the chimney just in case Santa needs to enter the house that way.....I hope you are not allergic to cats Santa, because there will probably be a welcoming committee when you drop down! Cheers Jennie |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: Stilly River Sage Date: 29 Nov 07 - 06:03 PM OH NO! Anything I can do to help, Santa? Some therapeutic herbs in the rooftop snack for the reindeer (and they'll be accessing the neighborhood on a new, improved class 4 roof, by the way!) Some vitamins in the milk with your cookies? Something stronger? SRS |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Giok's Harried Secret Santa Date: 29 Nov 07 - 01:33 PM Hi, Giok! Your eagerly-awaited (I presume) pressie has just been consigned to the postal peons. Let's hope for the best. They told me it MIGHT get returned to me if I didn't have my real name on the outside of the package -- things are tough in this post-9/11 world. I decided to take a chance and just wrote "Secret Santa," so let's both keep our fingers crossed that it goes through. Assuming the parcel arrives before Christmas, I trust you have enough self-control to wait until The Day to open it! As for the mysterious parcel you received the other day, it wasn't from your "official" Secret Santa -- unless you have two! Your Secret Santa |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Kim C's exceedingly devious Santa Date: 29 Nov 07 - 11:40 AM Good evening Ms Kim My very capable elf helper has informed me that your main package has been sent on its way today. It is hoped that you will receive the package within the next ten days. Did my other little package ever get to you? I do hope so, although it did have a long way to travel. The latest one doesn't have so far to go. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: Severn Date: 29 Nov 07 - 09:39 AM Thank you Santa, Your Canadian Mule train got the package here well before December. Last year's package took a bit longer into December to arrive from England. The House Brownies. are mad because the Irish Whiskey ration put out nightly to greet the elves had ended while all the local wee folk, my cat, and some stray wildlife that had gathered nightly to sing in my courtyard have had their revels suspended early. I'll have to keep things up, I guess to keep down any threatened vandalism or grafitti. I'm sure you gave me a wonderful package, but you didn't save me any money. The Party keep on, I guess. Hope your mules and elves got home in one piece. They were in pretty bad shape when they left. Thanks! Severn |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,MeganL's Indefatigable Secret Santa Date: 29 Nov 07 - 07:48 AM Megan, Dearie, it's very decent of you to speak in favour of the little rascal. It shows you're a kind hearted girl, and that should be worth a few points when the calculation of the size of your Christmas presents is made. The victim of a rampaging kangaroo, you say? Hmmm... that might explain why he keeps mumbling in his sleep. I thought he was muttering "Lemme be", but maybe what he's been saying was in fact "Wallaby"? I shall ask him about that the next time he appears to be lucid! As a matter of fact my lead elf (a girl elf this time!!) has just recently reported back to me that a box with your name on it was handed over to the postal elves a couple of days ago. It should - as I write - be winding its way towards the Orkney Isles. When it arrives you may open the box, there's a letter inside explaining how to progress from there. A couple of the presents in the box are a bit delicate, I hope they all survived the ministrations of the postal elves without breaking. Keep watching the mail, Dear! MISS |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Pseudolus' Secret Santa Date: 29 Nov 07 - 05:51 AM OK. The snails are getting their backpacks ready... |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Stilly's stressed-out Santa Date: 28 Nov 07 - 08:00 PM Dear Maggie, due to CBMC (circumstances beyond my control), your parcel may not make it to your tree on time. Rest assured, the stress has not been Christmas-induced and there is no coal what-so-ever in your Christmas parcel of 2007, even if it doesn't arrive until 2008. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: Liz the Squeak Date: 28 Nov 07 - 04:56 PM Ah... just because Jack isn't drinking, doesn't mean he can't have fun with others... I got a little parcel in the post today - thank you, you know who you are!! Some beautiful cross stitch patterns and a cut out doll for Limpit... she's a tad worried about the rosy, apple cheeked children as in her experience, most kids that rosy are on something. Megan - I will take that in the spirit with which it was intended to be drunk... seeing as how I'm outside a rather lovely chocolate pudding with melted chocolate centre and chocolate sauce on top.

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: ClaireBear Date: 28 Nov 07 - 02:10 PM That reminds me, I'm still being good too, and by the way I ALWAYS wait til Christmas to open my presents! By the way, my (7-year-old) son suggested that this year we leave pizza and beer for Santa; last year it was lasagne and red wine. Does my Santa have a preference? Your very own Santee, ClaireBear |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: Pseudolus Date: 28 Nov 07 - 01:46 PM Alright, yer teasing me now Santa! I've been a good boy, I promise!!! Please feel free to send it! I'll even wait until Christmas Day to open it if you like! Thanks! Frank |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,Pseudolus' Secret Santa Date: 28 Nov 07 - 11:53 AM How are you doing? The parcel's all packed! Now, do I send it or not??? |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: Megan L Date: 28 Nov 07 - 11:01 AM Dear Santa Please don't demote the poor elf I have it from a reliable source that he was the victim of a rampaging kangaroo who kept trying to stuff him in her pouch. I am sorry about the misleading information about his side trip to visit Jack and Skarpi I was getting the message second hand via a chinese resturant so something might have got lost in translation. The parrot must have held onto the thimble really well cause it made it here in one piece though the postman informs me that they have a policy about not carrying wild birds. I told him he hadn't seen wild birds till he had seen LTS and Lady Penelope when deprived of chocolate or having eaten a haggis and cheese pannini. Yours in best behaviour Meg |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: GUEST,The Care & Rapaire Santaire Date: 28 Nov 07 - 06:53 AM o woe o the ignominy that's it guys. This santa has had the sack. got the word for head office at cock-crow: my supervisor's been monitoring the threads and reckons my parcel just won't live up to expectations and Rapaire's gonna be a disappointed li'l santee come Christmas morn. I guess I didn't mention before that I was kinda on probation - three strikes, I'm out. And, yeh, I'll allow that maybe sending that sack o' coal to Skipy was a bit hard last year. In my defence, he was cr*p at his hints but he's a nice enough joe and it wouldn't 'ave killed me to give him some leeway. But I still think giving George Dubya "The Dummies Guide to Islam" was a perfeckly good choice of prezzie. Head office didn't agree, so that was 'strike one'. So ... the boys upstairs are, apparently, gonna take over Rapaire's account. THEY say they're gonna do a 'proper' job but I gotta tell ya ... I've seen orders that are sent to Central Clearing and there ain't no tellin' what'll come of it. Best of luck, spuddy. Season's greetings. If you want me, I'll be cleaning out the reindeer stalls ... CaRS (ret.) |

New Castle Indiana, huh?? I'm glad you've sorted out your address book now, Santa. Thanks for the lovely postcards. The sparkly bits on Westwood Lake are a particularly impressive effect. How did you get them to jump off the sparkly teddy on the front of the Christmas card and onto the water?? :-) I've been checking this thread regularly, hoping my Santee would reply to my comment from a while back, and secretly hoping for another hint from my Santa, but now I have the snail mail, hard copy instead. Thanks, heaps! Helen |

Good girls would have read every one of the fifty-seven messages. Maybe you'll get coal instead of gold after all. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: artbrooks Date: 26 Nov 07 - 04:55 PM Coldjam, it usually starts right at the beginning of September, with a message from our honored Secret Secretary, Squeeky Lizzie...entitled something like "Secret Santa Time-2008". Everything begins from your responding to that message with "me, too!!" See you next year. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages part two From: coldjam Date: 26 Nov 07 - 04:43 PM Ok, I tune in too late EVERY year for this, and I just wanna know for next year: where does it start and how do I get hooked up to play secret santa? Ho ho ho, Judy |
