I've been looking out all the good stuff for such a deserving soul and I think that I might even have found an elf to make sure that the parcel reaches you on time. HO HO HO, what a good time will be had. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santa's tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Becca's Bustling Bumbling Benefactor Date: 02 Nov 10 - 06:07 PM A short note for now (maybe a demi quaver?) to let you know, my dear, that Someone Out Here in Santaland has your name on the only list that counts. Now to ensure that none of the elves or reindeer involved have any cat allergies (we none of us wish to re-visit the dreadful sneezing, wheezing and puffy-eyeball incidents from previous years, so thank you for alerting me) and then we'll start selecting suitable items for the delivery. Your Santa |

From: GUEST,Animaterra's Animated Elf Date: 02 Nov 10 - 10:44 PM The assignment has been received and the cupboards are being checked for goodies as we speak.....I'm sure there may be some leftover treasures from Christmases past that could be put to good use! To say nothing of the medicinal bottle of brandy that I know is in there somewhere....... |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Sydney Sandra's Sly, Sneaky & Scintillating Date: 03 Nov 10 - 08:36 AM Well, aren't we the early bird? So eager for your prezzies that you even had to start the thead? The elves are spying on you and reporting hourly on whether you've been naughty or nice, and I must say, I've got my job cut out for me! Yes, I saw that- -and that as well- so you better watch out!!!! (cue ominous music) |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,MGAS's diabolically taunting Santa Date: 03 Nov 10 - 09:04 AM My dear Ms MGAS. Nice to hear from you. Don't worry about the pennies. I have it on very good advice that you are always good and do deserve a super Secret Santa giftee this year. Are you going to give me any hints this year or do I have to rely on those provided in past years? Enquiring minds need to know, as do the elves who will be busy finding delectable dainties for your delight. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Sarah The Flute's High Falootin' Santa Date: 03 Nov 10 - 09:51 AM Though the Santa situation became quite acute, For the shortened duration I drew Sarah The Flute. If you're good, I will bless you with choices astute So you could lay your flute down and play with your loot. If you give me some hints, I'll come in from the cold And like princess or prince, bestow treasures untold. So post up your preference ere I hitch up Prancer And I'll use it for reference, your prayers for to answer. Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Jennie G's Jolly Jovial Santa..... Date: 03 Nov 10 - 12:11 PM Well Jennie G, I do hope the summer is off to a fine start, the North Pole is a little chillier than usual this year but the elves are busying themselves and keeping warm running errands for me, whilst I busy myself with planning, making and wrapping. I have it on good authority that apart from a few minor misdemeanors, you have been good and therefore I am happy to tell you that a fine festive treat will be on its way to you very soon. Love, Santa x |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: My guru always said Date: 03 Nov 10 - 02:11 PM Santa Dear, I've managed a few moments away from my chores to copy & paste last years hints into this years thread. It doesn't seem to have changed much, but my life doesn't seem to be boring (more like crazy) so I guess I'm OK. Oh, and I will keep trying to be good *grin* But I don't turn away lumps of coal either!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 03 Nov 10 - 04:05 PM Santa, how lovely to hear from you! Now, medicinal brandy is all very well now and then, but I'm very curious about those leftover treasures from Christmases past... sounds like the Ghost of Christmas Past to me! I don't think I've been a scrooge, but I'll wait for further instructions, ok? |

And pity about the medicinal brandy, because someone else has drunk it all. I am hoping there's a small amount of gin left...... |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Jacqui's Elfine Enigma Date: 04 Nov 10 - 09:12 AM G'day to you, deah...hoping this finds you well. A bit dampish today, is it? P'raps a good day for a fire. Well, dress warm, or find someone warm to smuggle up with. Thinking great thoughts about pressies, but no real ideas yet. I saw your hint list, but it is singularly lacking in useful hints. Ah well, I'm sure I have a fruitcake around here somewhere... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: jacqui.c Date: 04 Nov 10 - 09:54 AM YAY!!! I got a Santa! I am sorry, Santa, for the lack of ideas. I'll go add a bit more to my hints right now! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Sarah The Flute's Verbose Independant Claus Date: 05 Nov 10 - 06:44 PM The clues are a help to your Santa with banter. With reindeer at the gallop and Santa at decanter, I'll be coming some winter's date snowy and shivery With a sleighload of presents all wrapped for delivery. My elves must check out all your goodness, as rumoured. When they have reported and I have been humoured, If your past is not sordid, and when gifts are all sorted, You'll have all the bright trinkets your Santa's afforded, And when you have opened your treasures at last, I hope to have outdone all your Santas past. |

I wonder if you'll see it the same way... |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Cats Date: 05 Nov 10 - 08:49 PM Dear Santa, I have been a very good girl this year. i have looked after my hens and my pussy cats, including one who wanted to move in but ended up in my potting shed. I have looked after my garden and have got everything ready for my bees next year. i have fed the wild birds especially the Christmas Robins and I hope they will let santa know that i have been looking out for them. i promise to leave carrots out for rudolph and some very nice sloe gin for santa. i hope rudolph doesn't get himself all tied up in the christmas lights this yaer. he looked very good and very pretty but it did make a bit of a mess on the floor when all the decorations came off the tree last year. thank you for thinking of me again this year Lots of love and kisses Cats |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Sinsull's Secret Santa Date: 05 Nov 10 - 09:18 PM Alliteration rocks! (Isn't that alliteration--three esses in a row?--whoops, sorry, distractible--) Since Sinsull seems to have a few fairly strong opinions about what she would like (and not like) from Santa, may he ask if she prefers her books hardcover or paperback? |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Santa to the Hardiman Date: 06 Nov 10 - 06:40 PM ...who is a Fiddler. Hello, Hardiman the Fiddler. I'm your Santa. You're a bit quiet aren't you? No clues. Few posts. Never you mind. I've got together a present for you and it's left the Far-reaches-of-the-Earth bound for your place. I know you are a fiddler on the roof after your day's work. I like that image a lot and the roof is a good place to keep a look-out. Peace, Happiness and all the rest of the good things be yours, along with my present to you. HardiSanta of 2010. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Severn Date: 06 Nov 10 - 11:19 PM There has been no word from my Santa. I wish he or she would come on-thread and play. I look at this stuff as part of the present. So, Santa, please let me know you're out there. Furthermore, my house brownies, Hash & McGhee, who look after my townshack report to me me there's been no sign of anyone elfin inquiring around after me. They keep me up on what's going on among the local wee folk and they've figured in my Christmas Chronicles the last few years. So far, there's nothing to chronicle. Dear Santa, will you or one of your staff please get in touch. Things have been entirely too quiet. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Severn's Singularly Squirrely Santa Date: 06 Nov 10 - 11:53 PM Never you fear, my impatient friend, your Santa's already hard at work planning the perfect punnishment for the bad boy my elves are sure you've been, Christmas Chronicles notwithstanding. Are you really as full of mischief as they report, or are they off the mark as usual? It's hard to get good elves these days, and I'm never quite sure about their tales... If it's any consolation, Santa hasn't heard from Santa's Santa either. Santa is most distraught. Someone else's elves may be even less reliable than Santa's own. Oh, dear! Must run -- I hear a dust-up in the workshop...which is what happens when Mrs. Santa forgets to use the decaffeinated cocoa in the hot chocolate. Oh dear. I do hope your gift hasn't gotten smashed in the melee. But never fear, I'll find you something. Your very own Santa |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: SINSULL Date: 07 Nov 10 - 10:56 AM Santa, I am easily amused and distracted by shiny things, tiny baubles and most things. Paperbacks are easier to ship. And I will be happy with even an empty box. Remember the joy of a refrigerator box when you were eight? SINS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Squirrely Santas tormenting Santees! From: Severn Date: 07 Nov 10 - 02:14 PM Dear Santa, Glad to hear from you and I hope you hear from your own Santa soon. I hope you're not squirrely to the point that you'll be getting nutting for Christmas. And I hope you can sing me some Christmas carols as well as, say, Squirrely Collins (or at least Alvin & The Chipmunks). But now that you're out and about, we can swap acorny joke or two or maybe some great Ochs songs. Just be careful crossing the street, as I still want you there for the holidays. As for missed behavior, due to the fact that I'm still rehabbing from burn injuries, I can only misbehave at half speed, which is probably the only reason you were able to find out about anything I managed to do. As for what I can get away with, just ask anyone I was at Getaway with.I'm still up to whatever old tricks I'm still up to, and the old techniques are still coming back to me. For a while, I was pretty much well-behaved by default (That is to say, my own fault. I'm no saint, not even Andreus). So keep in touch, and I'll take the fact that you haven't heard from your Santa yet as a clue of sorts. Until then, have your wee folk talk with my wee folk (part of the Wee Folk Process). Meanwhile, mail early, squirrely and often. I'll be waiting. 'Til then is now, Severn |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Severn's Singularly Squirrely Santa Date: 11 Nov 10 - 02:08 PM Squirreling pressies away for you, Severn. You do understand, I trust, that squirrels don't actually remember the places they've squirreled away their nuts? They are simply good at knowing where a squirrel is likely to have hidden a nut, and clever enough to look there when they are feeling peckish. So this means you could be getting an old nut for Christmas. Or maybe it means that you are an old nut ... or that I am, I'm not quite sure which. Oh, pardon me, but I must dash ... time to chitter at an odd pesky bird or two who are troubling my tree. Cheerio! Santa |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: My guru always said Date: 12 Nov 10 - 04:12 AM Santa Dear, just checking in to report that I'm still being as good as I can, just in case you get reports otherwise! I've been wondering if you could tell me a little more about yourself? I mean, obviously you are caring and hard-working, but whereabouts are you? Any clues will be gratefully received.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Severn Date: 12 Nov 10 - 09:20 AM Dear Santa, " 'Twas the month before Christmas In your part of the worl' And a creature is storing It must be my squirrel....." I apprieciate your embarking from your tree on a squirrelled-wide search. I realize that finding and storing a p-stash of the proper amount of nuttin' for my Christmas is no day at the beech, especially when it's off-the-walnuts you have been seeking, spending all the cashew can spare. Those birds wouldn't be bothering you if only you'd stop eating all the fodder from their feeder. Let nothing you dismay, Your Anxiously Awaiting Santee |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Sarah the flute Date: 13 Nov 10 - 06:06 AM I'm being as good as I can be But I've had a tough week at work you see Fright Nite in my library yesterday Has left the place in disarray We chased the zombies around the school And everyone thought Chavula (aka Dracula but a Chav) was cool Despite being half drowned in his lair Bobbing for apples if you dare Then the yucky spider's nest beneath Put your hand in the muck to find dragons teeth For the luminous potion, so it is said The only thing to make a zombie dead Then stay up all night with ghostly tales In the gothic library...but what are those wails Only an Eviltron stuck to the wall With random cries to scare us all So now with all the zombies killed I can concentrate on christmas and be thrilled ....we had a good time but i am very tired!

Planning to leave out smoked salmon and blackberry brandy for you, Santa -- even better than last year. Please come! Yours, ClaireBear |

I've been grovelling around in the back of the workshops to see just what is lurking there - and come up with a 1950's treat for you. I'll carry on looking. You never know...... Hugs |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,MGAS's diabolically taunting Santa Date: 13 Nov 10 - 05:12 PM Silly woman! I'm at the North Pole of course, where else would I be at this time of year? I've found a good elf who should be able to make sure that your giftee gets to you in time of the Yuletide feast. That way we won't have to ask the jolly old Post Office to get involved. Now then, earrings. Do you like outrageously dangly ones, comical ones or do you prefer them to be just a little bit more refined? I note your interest in science fiction and think that I have just the books for you. I enjoyed them and hope that you will. Back to the hunt now for other interesting items to fill up the sack. Ho ho ho........ |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Animaterra's Animated Elf Date: 15 Nov 10 - 01:33 AM I hope you are still being as good as possible? I must apologise for the lack of recent tease but the other elfses got to Santa's computer and messed it up......buggered it good and proper they did......but Mrs Claus (who is really the brains here) realised they still had their old computer in the cupboard. It's not as beautifully lovely as their new one but it works OK. Which is good. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: ClaireBear Date: 15 Nov 10 - 07:11 PM Santa! My Santa! It is I who must serve you! (In my cave, we have always believed that perpetual offerings of cookies and milk must get awfully monotonous for Santa. So, we try to compensate.) Come Christmas Eve, I shall serve gleaming Copper River salmon in your honor, smoked lovingly over applewood and topped with a sauce of honey and blueberries. And of course, the blackberry brandy as a winter warmer. It shall be done! |

No, it couldn't be chocolate! I'm cutting down on chocolate, really I am, at least, I will be, soon, I can quit whenever I want....) I'm so sorry about your computer, but I'm wondering about the old one from the closet. Does it look anything like this? |

Been perusing the catalogues, checking in all of the little shops and going through the odd dustbin - nothing seems quite right. Didn't someone suggest inflatable animals? Most of the ones I've found seem a bit...kinky...but I did run across a 20 foot long inflatable lobster. Ah well, something will come to me. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Sarah's Sharpest-Claus-Of-All Retarts From S Date: 17 Nov 10 - 12:12 AM Thank you for your haunting tales Where zombies stalk and a spirit wails But now's the time we must start talking Of Yuletide spirit and your Christmas stalking Get rid of those library blues From underpay and overdues That haunt you in your "Reading Gaol" And wear you out from your week's travail. Sit back and let your mind succumb To thoughts of presents yet to come Of treasures great in their abundance While hoping there is no redundance. Your gifts have all been found, in fact, Although they had to be repacked. I hope their eventual host'll Forgive delay from matters postal But now they're set to go and I'm Sure they'll arrive by Christmas time. Ere Christmas Morn there will be there a Box full of loot for flautist Sarah! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: My guru always said Date: 17 Nov 10 - 08:41 AM Santa Dear, my apologies for the delay in replying, I've not been misbehaving or anything, just fairly immobile. Have seen my chiropracter yesterday and today so I'm feeling more Christmassy now *grin* Of course you're at the North Pole (silly question) but surely you have a 'holiday home' elsewhere? Can you give me any clues? Re. earrings, how nice of you to ask! I have a fairly large collection now, mostly pretty and not really outrageous. The majority (apart from all the moonstone) are plain silver dangly ones and I've been particularly looking for spirals recently. Looking forward to hearing from you again and I'll try to keep the Christmas spirit flowing! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Crimbo cheerfully Cats-clling Date: 18 Nov 10 - 03:48 AM Dear Cats, and her Cats, Even here at the North Pole the flooding of the Country of Cornwall has been News and my Elves are keeping track of the current situation. We are all hoping that you will not be needing water-wings at Christmas and that Cornwall will recover from this devastation quickly. We assume that as neither Cats or Hens like water, you will be using your 'fluence to charm the weather, wind and wave to ease the situation as best you may. We are hoping that your lovely old cottage has escaped harm and that all your fellow creatures are in comfort? Our thanks for your concern regarding our reindeer but they already have wings, albeit invisible ones. Your gift will be something closer to your heart, methinks. |

That's if the fog lifts, of course, and the rain stops. And that was a clue. But not much of one, I accept. Ho ho ho .... |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Animaterra's Animated Elf Date: 22 Nov 10 - 06:33 PM Just checking in to see how you are behaving, and the reports I have so far are encouraging. You have been kind to animals and small children, and are helping little old ladies to cross the road, all of which is good. But reports about a break-in at a chocolate shop, in which eye-witnesses reported a person running away who looked somewhat like your good self....not so sure about that. Before the sleigh is loaded do you have anything to say in your defence? Perhaps someone else was the guilty party, and you were trying to catch them before any more mischief was perpetrated? Because, you know, we wouldn't want to see the sleigh drive off and then notice one forlorn package left behind in the snow........that would be very sad....... |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Jacqui's Elfine Enigma Date: 22 Nov 10 - 07:03 PM I had all loaded up with chocolate for your surprise package, when one of my co-elves reminded me that you didn't eat chocolate. Well. All the better for me, then. Yarn, is it? I thought that you lived with the champion yarner...or is that yawner? More thought required, then. A hula hoop, perhaps? |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: jacqui.c Date: 22 Nov 10 - 07:18 PM Oh dear Santa - sorry to be so contrary as far as treats are concerned. My Sweetie DOES like chocolate and would, I am sure, be willing to take any off my hands. Now, my granddaughter has a hula hoop, but I think it's a bit too energetic for me these days. Never could get the things to stay up, even when I was a kid. |

"Oh, I've got a lovely bunch of ho-ho-nuts. There they are all lying in a heap. Big ones, small ones, done in paper and string. Give 'em away, no need to delay," so did that squirrel sing. "Oi! I've got a lovely bunch of ho-ho-nuts. I've dug 'em up from all around the woods. Wrap 'em, tag 'em, seal 'em up in a crate Then ship the lot to Severn's cot, for Santa can't be late!" ...

Not one, not two, not three, but four packages to deliver in time for you lot to pull 'em out from under that tree on Christmas morning. I tell yer - that Santa gets all the credit but who do you think does all the work? Yours truly of course. And do I get to enjoy a mince pie and a glass of sherry? Not on your nelly mate. I have to stay off the stuff to watch me figure and Rudolph's the only one allowed to have a red nose this time of year. I can tell yer - I am well looking forward to Boxing Day when I can put me feet up and 'ave a nice glass of plonk, although I think that there might still be stuff to deliver after that. Ah well, life's a wotsit, ain't it? |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,MGAS's diabolically taunting Santa Date: 04 Dec 10 - 08:33 AM G'day my little chickadee! Looking at the weather I am hoping that the number one elf makes it through. It's a determined little bugger so I reckon there's a good chance, especially if there's a nice reward at the end of its journey. anyway, all that nasty white stuff might have cleared by the time it sets off. Let us hope that is the case. I have been giving a lot of thought to your gift selection. Maybe something for the summer, to match what you have for colder times. I've taken account of one, at least, of your hobbies, just a little something for you to work on. Something spicy and something sweet. Something to listen to as well. It's all in the bag and ready to go. |

Mrs Claus has persauded me to deliver it in person [ish] to you just after Christmas. One of my elves is coming your way and has offered to hand it to you personally. So, please don't be disappointed if your parcel is not with you for Christmas Day, it will be with you just as soon after as is possible. Respectfully yours Santa |

Knowing it's coming is a relief ('tho I haven't had a lot of time to think about such things). Shortly after Christmas is fine...just remember, I work on Sundays (but not on Saturdays or Wednesdays). Hmmm...that means I'll throw some red and green tartan tarps over everything except Tom, the tree and the cats, see that there's a chair without a pile of books and papers, and make space for single malt and Russian tea cakes and Berlinerkranzer.

Your co-pilot will be treated well, senior moments are common place in out household. Hmmm so you have a "Ye Olde Poste Office". Sounds like Ye Olde England. Maybe not though. Also bilzzards are happening here in Aus too this year. Have to be patient. Looking forward to your sleigh arrival. Joy with Joy |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Becca's busy but befuddled Santa Date: 08 Dec 10 - 06:06 PM Near disaster averted, you'll be relieved to hear. Two of the reindeer suffering from frostbitten antlers after doing some errands in Scotland, two more with hypothermia after visiting Yorkshire. You'd think they'd be used to cold weather, living here in the North Pole, but the UK seems to have beaten all records recently for shivering temperatures. But all is not lost - your package has been entrusted to the mail services, who seem confident of making a delivery (with any luck before December 25th), so you won't need to leave out refreshments in the traditional way but you should be assured of your goodies. It goes without saying, my dear, that if your package should arrive well in advance of the right date you must wait patiently before opening it, or all might turn to dust and ashes as you watch. Have a most merry and jolly Christmas tide! |

Somehow it just hasn't happened. Maybe I'm just not creative enough. Do you suppose that's a clue in itself? I hope not.... Anyhow, rest assured that at least some of the time I might have spent thinking up clever clues has instead been spent acquiring, assembling, packing and mailing your PRESENT! It is now officially on its way, complete with a "Do not open till Christmas" sticker. You can ignore that if you like, of course, but that would be the easy way, not the Cowboy Way. In any case, I hope you'll like it! Have a wonderful holiday! -- Your unimaginative but conscientious Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Severn's Singularly Squirrely Santa Date: 10 Dec 10 - 06:07 PM Oh, I am a contented, though still singularly squirrely, Santa! Severn's nuts have been gathered, wrapped, packed, and consigned to the tender ministrations of my local Village Postmistress. Soon (within a week or so) his parcel should have completed its perilous journey to Severn's neck of the woods. Will he wait 'til Christmas to unwrap it, I wonder, or will the intriguing odours of the nuts pervade his being until he simply must open his parcel? No matter: Even if he does, he will still have a layer of wrapping paper and string to get through before the nature of his gift is revealed. As to when he opens it, Severn may wait until his chosen Midwinter Holiday or not, as far as I'm concerned. I am a squirrel, after all, and we are not troubled by such details -- though I myself would certainly never open any gift sent to ME before its appointed time. One word of caution, though: If-- (As it turns out, one word of caution is rather less than adequate, isn't it? One SENTENCE of caution, then:) If Severn doesn't wish to know what manner of thing lurks inside the wrapping paper, he should not only not open the wrapped gift before his chosen Midwinter Holiday, but he should in addition not read the accompanying note until The Day has dawned. Whenever and however he chooses to unwrap it, it is my fondest hope that he will enjoy his gift at least half as much as I have enjoyed being his own, his very own Singularly Squirrely Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Severn Date: 16 Dec 10 - 06:35 PM My family is so spread out these days that it takes a long time to take care of all the Christmas giving and gifts. I won't use the term "scattershot" as it is one that squirrels tend not to like for some reason. Don't worry. 'Tisn't THAT season! But anyway, I always keep the SS present around until the first thing on the morning of Christmas itself to make sure I've something most special to open on the actual day. Then I'll get to daughters, sisters, relatives and friends as I can and just hang around with Molly The Cat until then. I know that slowly, but squirrelly the bounty shall arrive. The house brownies Hash and McGhee who are guardians over my townshack usually are more on the lookout foe other wee folk to party with when they visit and don't pay much attention to the bushy-tailed folk, as there are are lots of local ones around all year, but they will make sure that special food gets laid out. Acornish Hen and maybe Hickory daquiris out on the dock to wash it down with. We'll see how it all goes down with them to see the local birds trying to steal THEIR food for a change. I bought an old VHS copy of Walt Disney's "Perri" to watch to learn more of your squirrelish ways. It is snowing as we speak here in Laurel, but it shall most likely all be cleared by the time of your arrival. Eagerly awaiting your arrival with a hot cup of Santee-Freeze to keep warm while you're staying a-nest-thetized in your nest until leaving time, Severn |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Jacqui's Elfine Enigma Date: 16 Dec 10 - 08:02 PM Well, package consigned to the post. However, the winged feet of Mercury probably have frostbite, so it is likely that you will return to North Muckluck before it arrives. Please check all packing material carefully to ensure that you don't discard small stuff. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Sara's Endipitous Santa Date: 17 Dec 10 - 04:56 AM Sorry I've not written my favorite fluter But I've had some problems with my damned computer. "A germ of excitement", said your last polemic, But it turns out that you'll get a whole epidemic! I'd told you some time ago that I had mailed Your gifts, but alas it seems that fates prevailed. Mailing had to be delayed by aquisition Of a special last-minute new-minted addition. A follow-up to something quite dear to you That contains your Santa in a cameo, too. Huzzah! It is finally well on its way And will reach you without too much further delay. It will come to you in a plain box, nothing fancy You can open it early, if you're feeling antsy. Enjoy all in Spirit of Holiday Season For Your Santa considers you well worth the teasin'. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Severn Date: 17 Dec 10 - 03:41 PM O squirreldly-wise Santa, I recieved a box in the mail today from a San Jose address that sounded like it was full of nuts when I shook it. I take it that this is indeed and in word the very Box (it had no handle, so it can't be a nut-case) that I'll get to Fanta-Santasize over until I wake up on Christmas morn. It just rattled when I shook it. I was half expecting to hear The Chipmunks doing the Nutcracker Suite or something else from the Squirreled Music section of the library, but I'm sure that Bushy-Tailed Secret Santa, You'll go down in Hickory.... ...Or get a McAdda-Mia Award or something. (Acorny joke, I know) Or some of Mrs. Margerine's Filberts.... I'm just trying to think of Folk-related things that squirrels might do, besides maybe fill oaks..... But thank you, and Merry Christmas (unless you're Jewish and attend a Squirrely Temple) I'll try not to overdo it with the nuts, as I tend to get Planter's Wart..... Your pleading "In" Santee, Severn |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Joybell Date: 17 Dec 10 - 04:38 PM Oh Oh Oh Oh. Ho Ho. A package arrived yesterday. It's "Royal Mail". Lucky me to have the Queen as my Santa. Or possibly you know that I am actually Queen material. Anyway thank you so much Santa. It's heavy and all padded up so squeezing and shaking it doesn't tell me anything. I'm keeping it intact until Christmas Day. Oh Happiness and Cheer. Joy |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Jennie G's Jolly Jovial Santa..... Date: 21 Dec 10 - 02:57 PM AHA! Miss Jennie........I know you have been very good, my elves have been watching closely! I do however need to apologise.......due to the very adverse weather conditions here in the frozen North, neither the elves or myself have been able to get out and acquire the materials to create your gift. Nor, once assembled, have my elves...or the reindeer been able to get out to pass this on by pidgeon post. Sadly your gift has only been dispatched today and I fear it will be after Christmas before you receive it. This does, however, give you something to look forward to once all the hubbub of festivities has died down, and I hope that you will forgive us all our inept behaviour in failing to get said present to you on time. Time for a wee dram, methinks.......... Merry Christmas! Your Jolly Jovial Santa x |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Hawker Date: 21 Dec 10 - 03:12 PM Santa....... I has been a good girl, honest! Haven't seen any parcels or packages as yet......but then the postman can't get here at the moment, so perhaps the elves are stuck too! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: JennieG Date: 21 Dec 10 - 04:05 PM Thank you Santa for those cheery and encouraging words, I hope you, the missus, the elves and reindeer aren't snowed in too badly....I hear things are not too good weather-wise in your neck of the woods.....why don't you spend one Christmas in Oz for a change? The reindeer might find it a wee bit warm, and the elves would need new bikini swimsuits, and I'm sure we can find some new boardies for your good self and something fetching for Mrs Claus. We may even be able to arrange for lessons in surfboarding, should you so desire. Might be a bit difficult though, I live a few hours inland...... Cheers JennieG |

Not to fearrrr little Clairrrre, your gift should be wending its way soon. You see I rrrread your wish list so carrrrrefully that procurrrrring the special items you rrrrrrequested rrrrrrequired a trrrrip to technology-land and other nether rrrrrrregions for which I was not as fully prrrrreparrrrred as I had hoped.

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: My guru always said Date: 22 Dec 10 - 05:33 AM Dear Santa, so sorry I haven't been around much but life has been tricky recently, but is getting better now that I've started pain management for my back. I've had a parcel delivered but I'm a bit confused as it's got my address but it's marked for Hilary Spencer. Is it from you? Is it for me? Confused of Old Keepers.... |

From: GUEST,Crimbo cheerfully Cats-calling Date: 22 Dec 10 - 06:00 AM Now then, young Cats, don't you worry none about your postal delivery man getting there on time. Your gifts will come down your chimmney before Christmas Day ends as I might be running a little late. Give your chimmney a good sweep, won't you? I don't want to get pecked by any birds with nests in there. I know how you look after our fellow creatures. HoHoHo! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Severn Date: 22 Dec 10 - 12:59 PM I got some feedback on the annual wee folks and fauna celecration in my little Townshack courtyard, from which, I am of course forbidden to join in with. All seemed to have a very good time with the provisions I end up providing each year (as well as the Quick & Easy Berlitz language lesson tapes so that Hash & McGhee could brush up on their conversational Squirrel). This stuff is getting more expensive each year. And one of these years they're going to get loud enough to blow their cover. The Hickory Daquiris flowed like wine as they placed bets on which one of the mice the clock would strike and sang "The Nutting Girl", "I'm Getting Nutting For Christmas", most of "Christmas With The Almond Brothers' Band" and allt of their other old favorite Yuletide chestnuts. The only rule was "No Pecan before Christmas Morning!" Molly Kitty was well fed in advance and had no room for a squirrel even if she'd been tempted to eat one. No complaints from the neighbors this year, who both seemed to have fortunately been away. As usual, a lot of the local wee folk (a bunch of off-the-wall nuts if there ever was one!) and visiting spy and scout elves were in attendance and exceeded ("Don't EVER say 'Dwarfed'!") all previous efforts chronicled on previous threads. Goodwill among species abounded. Lots of tiny bottles ("Don't EVER say 'Miniatures'!") have been recycled and all has been cleaned up and some local squirrelly girlies had their hearts broken. I eagerly await the Grand Opening first thing on Christmas Morn! Thanks in advance! Severn Hils, I know the "Spence" must be killing you, especially if you're an Artisan Partisan yourself, but GO FOR IT! Part of your just "Re:Ward" for processing (De-Spensing?) it. If it doesn't fit or is the wrong color or duplicates something you have already, it must belong to the other Hillary and should be passed on once you've passed on it, with a note that says, "Whoops! Honest Mistake!". |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Sarah the flute Date: 23 Dec 10 - 09:27 AM Santa Severn!!!!! My present arrived and knowing it was from you I'm afraid I did open it a little early. I was jumping with excitement when I saw it was you and the contents did not dissappoint especially the special Solstice CD. I am going to have so much festive fun playing through all the Cds and tapes. I'll send you a PM too but this is a public thankyou from a delighted Sarah the Flute! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,MGAS's diabolically taunting Santa Date: 23 Dec 10 - 10:01 AM My dear Ms Hilary - I'm SANTA! Would I not know your full name? Wherever that package is from it's not from me. Your package is snug as a bug, awaiting your attention in two days time. My main elf tells me all is on schedule. I sent you a little something early on, through one of the elves. If what you have is a very small package then my elf may have got the name wrong - that little package was for opening as soon as it arrived so I would go ahead and find out what it is right now! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Santa's overworked elf Date: 23 Dec 10 - 10:07 AM It's me again. I've done me best to deliver these presents and now all I can do is hold me breath and hope that the assistant elves do their job right in time for the big day. Barring folks getting totally snowed in everything should be golden. I'm hoping that the right parcels get to their owners as it can be a bit tricky with so many things to deliver and so many places that they have to be. As I figured, Christmas won't be the end of my toils. More stuff to be passed on afterward but I still reckon on getting me feet up with that bottle of plonk before I have to do any more work. Merry Christmas one and all! |
