Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: JennyO Date: 21 Dec 06 - 08:54 PM I'm really hoping something turns up today - it's the last day for postal deliveries - I have some of my pressie, but my Santa told me there was more. Am I right, Santa? I'm being good and not opening the package I have already. Are you there, Santa? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: freda underhill Date: 21 Dec 06 - 05:55 PM Santa Clues I will wait til Christmas day, because that's the day of presents. i don't worship anything except nature, my children and each moment. there are no explanations to life, although some tell me there is no such thing as an accident. I hope you have a very happy solstice, Santa, and that you and yours have a very happy Christmas too. best wishes freda ps Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,FU's SS Date: 21 Dec 06 - 10:57 AM Next Monday will do fine if that is when your mid-winter/summer celebration occurs. I know that there are some who will open their packages today, it being the solstice; others may care to wait for the New Year or for the birthday of their preferred deity. Whenever and whatever you celebrate, that will be the right time to open the package, rather than giving in now too easily. But there are no explanations inside - they will only be provided once you have had time to ponder the contents and their meanings. Santa Clues :-? |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,Greg Stephens' Woeful Secret Santa Date: 20 Dec 06 - 08:53 PM Has the package not arrived yet? Bloodygrumblelazyelves. I was assured that it would get to you in five days time when I posted it a week ago last Friday. (looking at the watch) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: freda underhill Date: 20 Dec 06 - 08:02 PM FUSS.. You may notice I'm no longer Promising to be good The parcel's very tempting, and I think that I could.. But the only thing that stops my prying little grasp Are the eyes of a Knight, (and a sword in his grasp?) I was tempted and tried, and oft made to wonder, To examine your riddle and pull it asunder… but.. An Immortal Terpsichordist (has Santa been hitting the turps?) An eternal elusion .. til next Monday.. it's confusion! f.u. :-D |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Dec 06 - 06:58 PM Of those I think MIGHT be participating, there isn't anyone with more Ss in their moniker than are in my own. I don't think I have a schizophrenic twin unbeknownst to me, but I see one name that I've crossed paths with before, over in the UK, starts with a B. . . Hmmmm. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: ClaireBear Date: 20 Dec 06 - 12:37 PM Dear Santa, Not to worry. I should thank you for saving me from the temptatiuon to open my goodies before Christmas (though of course I would never, ever do such a thing). As a child (in 1961), I spent six months living in Spain, where at that time Santa was unknown and Christmas was just a church celebration. But on the Epiphany, Santa's good buddies the Three Kings came by on camelback and left pressies for me and the other good girls and boys in our shoes, left on the windowsill for that purpose. (The camels must have been tall; I lived on the third floor of an apartment building but the pressies still arrived.) I suspect that Los Tres Reyes Magos will be good to me this year! Thank you for keeping in touch, Santa! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST, ClaireBear's Apologetic Santa Date: 20 Dec 06 - 12:05 PM Well, uh, there's been a glitch in the wrapping and packing department here at the North Pole. Can't blame the delay on sloth, beecause Sloth has been busy ironing the Santa suit and gassing up the reindeer. No, probably the fault of the effect of global warming on the space/time continuum. And maybe the fact that it gets dark too early and we can't have Daylight Savings Time all year round. Alas, you will probably not receive your package of goodies (all selected, but not wrapped!) before December 25th. However, there is a very, very good chance it will be in your hands before the New Year and well in advance of Old Christmas. Sigh. All Santa wants for Christmas is two more weeks before Christmas! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: Helen Date: 19 Dec 06 - 03:03 PM Secret Santa, I had a quick scan through the info you linked to but I haven't had a chance to read it all, so at the moment I'm not much further ahead on the quest to discover where you are, or in the case of the gooey-ducks, where you are no longer. Maybe another clue to narrow it down would help. A little about yourself, perhaps, so that I can try discover who you are? Your mystified Santee, Helen |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,FU's SS Date: 19 Dec 06 - 09:11 AM You're everywhere and nowhere, Santee, that's where you're at Maybe right about the bells on, but not the flowery hat. Santa Clues is an Immortal, what d'ye think of that? You're guessing who I am in 3D, but what about the 'Cat? And it's high ho silver lining, everywhere you go, o Santee, Your summer sun is shining But will it clear the mist, round this terpsichorist. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: freda underhill Date: 18 Dec 06 - 08:57 PM Santa Clues, I admit to speculating as to your identity. my crystal ball is a little cloudy but it seems: * you have a beard, but not a white one * you are a singer of songs (some of them rather bawdy) * you are a dancer, maybe with bells on your legs and a flowery hat * you are not John Warner (that's who I thought you were at first) * you are an English folkie with a quirky sense of humour (thinks).... I'm hoping more will be revealed in a week! freda |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,SINSULL's Surprisingly Southern-fried Santa Date: 18 Dec 06 - 08:44 PM Oh goody, you got the postcards. Then your parcel can not be too far behind - that is after customs have poked and prodded it, shaken it, squashed it and batted it round the room a few times :-( So there is a faint chance you may get it this week. What happened last year? Do tell! Here are a few more hints: * I have met your local elves in Real Life, and very nice people they are too! * We like to have lots of BBQ's - in fact we will probably have one on Christmas Day. * I like to travel and collect postcards, as you have noticed. My brother lives in one of those places. * I didn't REALLY make any of your prezzies out of dryer lint - honest! *You will find out who I am when you open your package! Love from your well-travelled SSSSS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: Selchie - (RH) Date: 18 Dec 06 - 12:19 PM Whoopee ~ nearly caught you on the 'Cat :-) Still no closer as to who you are though, never mind, it's such fun thinking about it. Hello Santa lovely to hear that you have such good reports on me. (Phew! I wonder who's been spying & passing on information. I have been very good this year, & will be dancing for joy (literally on Thursday with my Morris friends). I'll be partying tonight with those Shakespeare lads, now I wonder whom I should corner & try to pick their dear old brains?) I'll look forward to hearing from you & wish you all the best for the festive season, enjoy whatever YOU will be doing. Can't figure any more out yet but will be even more patient until I see what my Really Superb Santa's sent. With Love for Christmas Santa Rosie xxxxx |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,Selchie's Secret Santa/Yule type personage Date: 18 Dec 06 - 12:01 PM The reports on you for the past year have been of an acceptably high standard. Therefore I am pleased to report that I have in my possession a certificate of posting (Mudcat for the use of). Have a good season of doing whatever you do. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: Stilly River Sage Date: 18 Dec 06 - 10:29 AM A "batch" of what? "elor?" What is that? I haven't seen any message from my Secret Santa for a long time--over two months. Are you out there, Santa? Santa? Santa? Santa? Santa? Santa? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 18 Dec 06 - 08:24 AM Well, I suppose a package of weird shit will be better than previous years, when Santa just came down the chimmney... I suppose I should do something about cleaning that up, but then, I'm just a batchelor... |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,Dusty Rhodes Date: 17 Dec 06 - 07:10 PM Sorry secret santa i been off line for a bit... Now where were we ...

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,Sarah's Santa's Secret Secretary Date: 16 Dec 06 - 09:38 AM Just got a card? Oh dear, dear -- that went went out simply ages ago. I do hope that isn't a reflection of the mail service in South No-sex, or wherever it is you are. Anyroad, your pressie has been consigned to the tender mercies of the Post -- we do hope it arrives by the day, and do feel free to open the outside wrapper. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: Snuffy Date: 16 Dec 06 - 06:15 AM Yank you. I'll look forward to receiving it, o mysterious Santa. If the Royal Mail can be bothered to deliver it in the next seven days, that is. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,Snuffy's secret & relieved reveler Date: 16 Dec 06 - 12:52 AM Well, Snuffy, M'dear, it took some midnight Oh, and since there was a late snafu, and impromptu switch, all previous clues mentioning coal dust can be happily ignored. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: SharonA Date: 15 Dec 06 - 10:53 PM Oh, my, dear Santa! I've been blue. Been so long since I heard from you. Some hints of coal came in October But I'm being good... and sober! When you let your reindeer fly, Please do not pass my chimney by! (...and if, from it, you see smoke wisp, Don't insert gifts, lest they get crisp.) Thanks, Santa! Sharon |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: Micca Date: 15 Dec 06 - 05:51 PM Dear Santa, the cards have confused the Hell out of me, as I think I idntified at least a few of the Posters(if they are not your Good sElf) and I am now ,philosophically sitting back and awaiting further mainifestations!! Many thanks |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,bet's secret santa Date: 15 Dec 06 - 09:10 AM Hello bet, How are things in Santaland? Elves running about everywhere, I bet! Has the postman brought you anything yet? If not .. watch your postbox! No peeking though! your Santa |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,Micca's far away Secret Santa Date: 15 Dec 06 - 08:50 AM How are you my dear friend? Has the postman been delivering the postcards and packages that the elves sent out? I know that life has not been at its easiest right now but hope that the cards maybe will raise the ghost of a smile. Lots of love and all good wishes. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,Sharon As Secret Santa Date: 15 Dec 06 - 06:36 AM Oh Sharon are you grieving that your Santa is a leaving you, and appears to be so quiet, without a clue? well keep an eye wide open for the mailman with a token and your prezzie it will soon hove into view |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,Batty Bat G SS Date: 15 Dec 06 - 06:17 AM I am one stressed santa and full of grovelling apologies. How could this happen? I took out full breakdown cover but alas the trusty sleigh has let me down and the pressies will be taking a longer time to arrive. But fear not a replacement sleigh has been found - turbo charged I hope and something should appear in the New Year. Sorry SORRY SORRY REALLY REALLY SORRY |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: Sarah the flute Date: 15 Dec 06 - 06:13 AM My secret santa sent another card .....oooooooooooooooh! It's getting exciting YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY! StF |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,SINSULL's Sneaky Secretive but Savvy Santa Date: 15 Dec 06 - 01:42 AM I sent your package off with the flying reindeer yesterday, but they have a long way to go, so it may or may not reach you in time for Christmas. I wouldn't worry too much that I was interested in your post on the other thread about making gifts out of dryer lint - tho it is so nice and soft, isn't it ;-) Had any new postcards lately? These ones may be a little more helpful than the first few. And did you work out who my elves are yet? Good 'elf to them I say. SSSSS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,another nudge Date: 14 Dec 06 - 07:52 PM This is a better "clue" for location location location. It only takes a few of these to add up to an Acre of Clams! This still only tells you where I am not, but maybe connecting the dots will work. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: GUEST,Dusty's Late is Better Than Never Santa Date: 14 Dec 06 - 06:57 PM Well, that last item I needed to assemble your eclectic pressie package has come from the far reaches of space and time, and the whole migilla has been consigned to the (allegedly) capable hands of the post office. St. Swithin's Day is a distinct possibility! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Clues and Nudges From: Helen Date: 14 Dec 06 - 03:27 PM All right, I'm just clever enough to get *that* clue. :-) You've got to admit that, for a non-US-er I was close with my guess of Louisiana, geographically speaking. Six flags took me on a bit of a detour, because I was assuming that it was flags of 6 countries, but they weren't distinct/separate countries. But I was wrong about the Guavas in Guam. So not Naemanson at all. Rats! That theory had a few matches, because Naemanson is originally from Maine, and has been to Oz, I think, therefore your comment to JennyO that you have "crossed paths". So now I have to figure out which one of our Texan Mudcatters you are. Do I get any clues to do that, please? Pretty-please?! Helen |
