Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: Rapparee Date: 12 Dec 16 - 09:46 PM Today the very last things for my Santee were selected and acquired. I am, for a large variety of reasons, certain that my Santee cannot obtain them and, indeed, they may well be illegal there. They include, but are not limited to, bawdy songs, smutty pictures of skinny dipping, and of course tales unfit for young or old or those in between. Knowing my Santee I am certain sure the gifts will be appreciated. My Santee deserves nothing more or less. |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: Sarah the flute Date: 12 Dec 16 - 05:20 PM oh oh oh ! I have a box - a nice surprise on return from some work in Manchester I think it must be from my Santa I've not opened and no clues on the package except it looks like it is from the UK - no customs tags or anything EXCITING! Thank you Santa |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: Anne Lister Date: 09 Dec 16 - 04:29 PM Thank you, SSH-Elf ... I hope it wasn't anything fragile? We'll keep a look out for its arrival. And thank you, Santa, in advance! |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: GUEST,Anne Lister's Secret-Santa-Helping Elf Date: 09 Dec 16 - 06:25 AM Well, what happened to that post, I wonder? We'll have to get the technological elves to check it out. As I was saying before we were so rudely interrupted by technology, Anne, your present was thrown into the topmost sack by a postal elf (who was probably on something very seasonal at the time, knowing him) and now we are just waiting for Santa to return from the pub and press the green button, after which it will be on its way to you. Kindest Regards, S-S-H Elf |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: GUEST,Sarah the Flute's Santa's Secretary Date: 08 Dec 16 - 09:27 AM Dear Ms Flute, I have had word from the number one elf that your parcel was despatched today. Hopefully, it should be arriving with you in the next few days. No peeping before the day please1 |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: JennieG Date: 07 Dec 16 - 05:53 PM Santa, Himself and I will be away over Christmas/New Year, we're leaving here on 17th Dec to visit family and to share in our grandkid's 2nd birthday cake......so if I don't acknowledge your present when it arrives it's not because I am being rude and ignorant, I'm not at home! Any mail which arrives while we're away will be safe, it will be held by the post office until we return. |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: GUEST,Hollowfox Date: 06 Dec 16 - 04:13 PM That last post was from me. Amazing how fast some computers will drop a cookie. |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: GUEST Date: 06 Dec 16 - 04:10 PM Ooh, thank you! |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: GUEST,Ho Ho Ho llowfox's SS Date: 06 Dec 16 - 04:01 PM Look to the skies We are up up up and away Ho Ho Ho and a merry christmas |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: GUEST,The Admin Elf for Rapparee's Santa Date: 06 Dec 16 - 12:09 PM Ahem. Following your last comments, Santa has instructed me to contact you to inform you that Rudolph will not now be on the delivery team for your package. You may well have intended the unfortunate comment facetiously (Santa informs me this is a well-known feature of your personality) but we cannot have our reindeer at the mercy of any form of ballistic weapon or at risk of being consumed for a festive meal. I'm sure you understand. We have instead consigned your package to the more conventional mail delivery companies, at some expense, and we will just have to hope that it will arrive in time. We also hope that you do not normally attempt to shoot down the mail person, and that you are not given to cannibalism. As you will be well aware, if news reaches us that you have indeed shot at the mail person, or indeed attempted to eat him or her, the contents of your package will instantly metamorphose into coal dust (Rudolph has suggested a modification in your case, to make it reindeer dung, but Santa did not approve this). It does in any case mean we have no further need of our very large road atlas for Idaho, which is a great weight off the sleigh. Happy Holidays! The Admin Elf |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: Rapparee Date: 06 Dec 16 - 08:59 AM Dearest Santee: Your last gift is on the way to me. As soon as I receive it from the seller I'll put everything together and it'll be on the way! (You're not allergic to leather, Lycra, and feathers are you?) |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: Rapparee Date: 05 Dec 16 - 10:04 AM It's about time somebody held Rudolf steady. I've missed that sucker every year because he dodges and skitters around, with the result that we don't have reindeer for Christmas dinner. |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: GUEST,Rap's seriously cool wrapping Santa Date: 04 Dec 16 - 05:53 PM Yo, Rap! Consequential upon my last communication, which was sent across at least two nations, the elves tell me your gifts are ready and they're holding Rudolph steady ... So stand on your liver and respire for the presents will come that you desire. Actually some of that didn't come out quite right (especially the bit about your liver - I blame the youngest elf, who seems to have found the experimental bottle of fly agaric infused gin, and who kept getting his beat boxing confused with his hiccoughing). However the main point is that we're getting ready to do a final wrap and an address label, which has got to be a good thing. Your busy but watchful Santa. |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: My guru always said Date: 04 Dec 16 - 06:26 AM Looking for a last minute pressie for your Santee in the UK? I have a few MudCat TShirts (some Blue and some Red) left to sell at £10 plus £2 postage within the UK and can post them to your Santee if I have the right size! See the thread below the line - PM me if you'd like one! |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: GUEST,Jacqui's Santa Date: 02 Dec 16 - 05:40 PM ho! ho! parcel on it's way |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: Rapparee Date: 30 Nov 16 - 09:58 PM The very last pressie for the package to my Santee has been ordered. Yes, I had to slip back into my drill sergeant persona and actually order it around! It's doing pushups at the moment for being untidy in uniform. |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: Rapparee Date: 29 Nov 16 - 09:14 AM I'm going to take some of the stuff I've received and send that! Ho boy! My Santee's gonna get that parcel of dried kvass from the Walmart in Ulaanbaatar! The big blob of melted metal from someplace called Charnoodle or something in Ukraine (it makes a good reading lamp, but the greenish glow can't be switched off)! I'm going to send the face powder (I don't use it) I got from Canada that marked "Souvenir of the Thetford Mines, Ontario"! I'd send the program from a play called "Our American Cousin" but it's from a production in 1865 and it seems to be bloodstained and someone made notes on it like "Should be eighty-seven". |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: Rapparee Date: 20 Nov 16 - 10:17 PM My Santee is going to get something nice. At least I hope it's nice. I think it's nice. Nice and strange!!!! |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: billybob Date: 20 Nov 16 - 08:31 AM Hi Santa, we were in New Jersey, Pennsauken and Cherry Hill area where Billy was born and he has 4 sisters and huge extended family. But as he has been in the UK since 1975 most of our nieces and nephews think he is an Englishman, the lovely accent sadly has gone. We went to Philly shopping of course and had to go to Lancaster County to get lots of Christmas Gifts.But this year we will be here at home so don't worry I am having the chimney swept next week ready for your visit. xx |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: GUEST,Sarah the Flute's Santa's Secretary Date: 13 Nov 16 - 07:51 AM Message from Himself. He's a bit upset at the thought that anyone might think he had a connection to either of those two wallies but he's a very forgiving old guy so won't just leave coal - this time. Elves are now on overtime to fill this order so it should be ready for delivery in time for the festivities. |

I'll give you one: I live in the USA, and I want to get your pressie absolutely right AND get it to you on time. Pretty please? |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: GUEST,Sarah the Flute's Santa's secretary. Date: 08 Nov 16 - 07:20 AM Hallo oh Windy One. Himself has been rather preoccupied recently what with Brexit and that hoo ha going on across the Pond; would you believe how much of his work has been affected by both those events? NOW he's waiting to see if it will be safe for him to fly anywhere in the USA without being shot down or deported as an illegal....... Anyhoo, he has designated his top elves to scurry around madly and put together a positive cornucopia of delights for your Christmas Day pleasure. They have your list and will be putting their little heads together to make sure that you will be happy with the result. |
Subject: RE: Secret Santa gift ideas & teasing - 2016 From: GUEST,Ho Ho Ho llowfox's SS Date: 07 Nov 16 - 08:53 PM Aha we have the hints Duly noted and selection process has been activated Hold tight |
