OK now, boys and girls. Santa Mom (aka SRS) has the join-up-now thread going, so please don't miss it. THIS thread is for adult discussion on the Santa/Santee process. It is never too early to make snide comments on what you plan to send or hope to receive! Personally, I'm hoping for many many beer mats, complete with dehydrated beer.

Are you going to do your lists of preferences (size, favorite colors, things you collect, foods you enjoy, i.e., chocolate) here?

Wassamadder, MYGAS - don't want to be teased? I think there should be a separate thread for hints, and it shouldn't be cluttered up with extraneous BS. In fact, I'll go and start one!

Good afternoon Ms Joybell

No hints yet so I've gone back to 2009 to see what you said then.

Mmmmm, chocolate. Now there's a thing. Cadburys, or Green & Blacks or that American stuff? It all depends on what my elves can find. Do you like milk or dark chocolate? Does chocolate get through Aussie customs?

I'll try and get your giftie in the post as soon as possible. I'm hoping that it might get there in time for the Yule celebration.

Hello Santa. Hurray! Nice to meet you. Just posted my hints. I just love presents. I like to leave it up to Santa but I do like bits and pieces of things about your part of the world. The natural world in particular. Dark chocolate tends to give me headaches these days but milk is OK. Don't know how customs is about food but it is hot here.
Sooooo you're over the sea somewhere? Hmmmm. Or ---- pretending to be. Hmmm.

Stilly - a beer mat is a piece of cardboard, round or square, usually printed with adverts - mostly for alcoholic beverages - placed on pub tables for standing your drink on. They can be quite interesting to read, sometimes and have become collectible.

Ho ho ho .... or words to that effect. Spotted your list of hints and got the elves scurrying hither and yon, but they enjoy that at this time of year to keep the circulation moving. No use sending you a stack of unused beer mats, I suppose?

Got a few toys to mend so can't stop here chatting all day. You know the rules - be good!

Hello there Nancy!

The elves and myself (to say nothing of Mrs Claus)are having a lovely time here, finding you a stocking.....then we will be looking for stuff to stuff in it.

By the time Christmas comes we will all be stuffed.

Subject: RE: BS: Santas and Santees
From: Severn
Date: 06 Nov 11 - 02:52 AM

Rejoice!

My wise, kind and generous Santa speaks!

Don't worry! I'll take "Be Good(e?)" to a quotient level even Chuck Berry can't surpass (That is, I'll stay out of jail for any man acts).

If you have done your homework in the archives of past Santee-hood, you'll already know about the two good luck House Brownies, Hash and McGhee that keep watch over my Laurel Maryland town-shack that any scout and/or delivery elves will have to come in contact with and who know all the other little folk in the area. And Molly, my beloved watch-cat who was always harmless enough to any wee folk anyway, has passed on, so there's nothing to fear from that end.

Secret Santa presents traditionally are not opened until Christmas, but are the first things opened once Christmas has arrived.

If your elves are also Syrup-tishuss I'll leave some pancakes out for them if nobody's u-syruped Mrs. Butterworth in the pantry.

I'll leave it to your sleep deprived elves as they go hither with their hither-than-thou attitudes and yawn to keep circulation moving, as I'm retired from the post office and don't have to sort magazines any more.

I can't drink alchohol anymore what with the diabetes, so the lure of beer mats escapes me these days. I DO own a Narragansett beer tray designed by Dr. Seuss. Paper, I don't collect on the whole.

That's all for now. Thanks for getting in touch so early. I hope that the messages will keep coming.

Have no fear, I know you've been a good lass. Well, have a little bit of fear. You're so easygoing that your hints are 'way too general. I mean really, "What kind of music? Folk." Well that narrows it down a bit, doesn't it? No hopes, no dreams? How about a ring size (No, I don't plan to propose.) I'm gathering things in the USA, so is there anything you'd like that's easier to get in the New World? Stuff you've heard about and always wondered about? How about foodstuffs? Sweet, savory, ingredients for your own cooking? Help!! Love from your slightly panic-stricken Santa

A flying wombat would not be a good thing to be under....my older son hit a wombat on the highway a few years, the score was: Wombat 1, Stephen's Little Blue Car nil.
