Hello Myowndear Santa, So nice to meet you. Sorry about the lack of hints. I love presents that relate to from wherever my friends live. Or a CD of yours if you have one.
Or else there is one book I would dearly love to have and can't seem to get them to reply. Someone with contacts in the UK might have more luck.
(Heh! Heh! Not trying to find out your where-abouts or anything!)
It's Classic English Folk Songs Selected and Edited by R. Vaughan Williams and A. L. Lloyd. Revised by Malcolm Douglas.
It's so good to hear from you. I love having my own special Santa. I'll be sure to leave out the cookies and all when you drop in. Cheers and Joy from Joy

Back from the Getaway and I've got a Santa! Lucky me! I do have another request though - I want the Yankees to win the 2004 World Series. How about it Santa? They need you to do something right now - before the 8th inning.

Seaking - in the "where are you" thread you say a Control Room full of telephones, flashing lights, buttons and screens displaying complicated technical looking things

Is there a chimney? Or at least a flue? HAVC duct? I may be a mythical being with mystical powers - but I need a little help here! Must meet certain traditional standards you know!

No flue, we've all had the jab. Got a big chimney but it's about 200ft tall and usually has a large flame on top so don't recommend even in the interest of maintaining tradition - singed beards, asphyxiation and all that sort of stuff (tends to make the Risk Assessment tricky). Lots of HVAC but heavily filtered and liable to sudden shutdown if things get hairy - no SS bypass switch included in original design philosophy unfortunately, a dreadful oversight.

Anyway, it's only a holiday home. My other part-time residence has no control rooms, 4 real chimneys (flames at the bottom), less security , allocated seasonal rooftop parking - AND you can have a drink !!

Cheers SS

Hmmmmmm - hints? or red herrings?

Apparently my Santa is a "him"

and of a Northerly persuasion

(or is that just living up to the stereotype?)

also:

it appears Santa can't rhyme

(or is that just the first two lines of a stanza?)

more worryingly:

My Santa's got no Reindeer!
You shouldn't have to pull the sled yourself, you know.
What happened to Rudy & the boys?
Sacked for gross misconduct?
Or downsized to ensure the viability of future delivery operations?

I await the next installment with baited . . . er, bait

red herrings? or hints?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Happy wotmas!

Hi Teresa,

I just had to tell you that I found what I think might be the perfect gift for you. I have just been checking it out and it really says a lot about my local area, and an integral part of my whole life, as well as being something which I think you will appreciate.

I hope you like it. I'm excited that now that I have finally bought it it is just what I was looking for as a present for you. Now I also want to get one for my father because he will like it a lot too, I think.

I'm still looking for some shiny things for you but this is the main present.

Your Secret Santa

I am grateful to you for ending the Panic and confusion in this Workshop.
The Elves have now focused on the Task in hand.
Perhaps the need for bad poetry has ended....sigh of relief from "catters" reading the thread........perhaps that is what is keeping my Santee away...sorry....
Thank you for pointing us in the right direction.

Lucky you. I have found TWO perfect treasures and both were free. Perry Como will have to wait until next year. Meantime...here's a hint:

There was a little girl
Who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good
She was very very good
But when she was bad
She was HORRID!

Pseudolus' SS: So glad that things are calmer for you & your little helpers now, delighted to have been of assistance! Sounds like you are close to my Dear Own Secret Santa (Blessings be upon him / her). From your very correct grammar & spelling it is obvious that you're not from Hull, so that has whittled down my own guessing game *grin*

Meanwhile, please do continue with the poetry, after all, practise makes perfect!!

Hey there Santa.

I don't spend much time below the bar anymore so really have little plans about contributing on this list. I watch it everyweek or so, but since I haven't really looked at anything other than the hurricane threads and the secret santa threads since July, I don't always keep up to date (and I'm much happier not reading all the enflaming posts).

If you have specific questions, feel free to post them. Or check my posts - I have pretty extensive ones - and have specific types of threads I engage in up above.

Far as I know, MGAS, your SS doesn't know Pseudolius' SS...but anything is possible in this best of all possible worlds. If it will help at all, I can tell you that your SS lives where the seasons are at the same time of year as yours, but rain is rare and there are more cactuses than crocuses.

flames no detterent; but lack of chimney or flue makes delivery awkward.

The reindeer have been threatening to go on strike if I include the Christmas Elephant I found in Siam (tastefully decorated in red velvet and silver bells on the harness) just because it out-masses all of them. considering that it is such a miniscule addition to the 3.6 billion other presents in the sack I am tempted to take it to abitration. what do you think?
