STILL no hints or signals from you young man! You are definatly getting a lump of coal at this rate, or possibly some raindeer poo!

Ho Ho Ho

(And the moral: Don't upset your Santa by being secretive.)

Dear Mrs Squeak (or may I just call you Liz the...?),

Poor Limpit! I hope she hasn't been traumatized for life! How could you do that to your own daughter... even at random! Wicked woman!

One has to be lippy oneself to deal with a lippy one and I am fully equal to the job I assure you!

Now to the matter in hand... he's got an axe, a broadsword and a suit of armour (not that his thick skin needs one)... that rules those out. The unwanted and unused ego that someone gave me some Christmas past wouldn't be needed either...

Hmmmm...

Shy and Retiring One's Santa - Don't get lippy with me... the draw is totally random and besides, poor little Limpit got him last year.... how do you think she coped?!

Snuffy Chuffy Santa,

I promise faithfully to post my hints at the weekend - it doesn't look like there will be a combination of my free time and Mudcat non-downtime before then.

There's a thought: could you send me some free time, please!

Dear Santa, thanks for wanting to know what I would like for Christmas. If you would simply pick me up in your sleigh and drop me off in England again I would be quite satisfied. Commercial airfare is too expensive for me to go back anytime soon, so thanks in advance for the travel assist.

Mike

What exactly can I get a person who, by his own definition, is already the greatest living performer in the world and who knows everything there is to know about everything?

I guess I'll have to go for the unexpected!

-They could be recycled as slippers, oven mits or used as fuel in those long Alaskan winters,

Never worry secret Santa

1) I only do rituals for good purposes.

2) I'll never know if what you send me is what makes the spell fail or not.

Stones are conduits for energy and whatever you would send would be gratefully received and used for whatever they tell me they'd like to be used. If you wish to send me stones, they can be tiny (i.e. diamonds, rubys, emeralds). Rounded river stones and stones ith holes worn in them (holey stones) would be nice as well.

Or you can send me a cool t-shirt. Your call.

You want me to send you things suitable for rituals? And expect me to chance the Union of Elves carrying pebbles too heavy for them?? This does not look good.

What are your favourite minerals? Do you prefer orangeade, cherryade or limeade? I might even be able to stretch to Ginger Beer!

What will happen to me if I fail to deliver to your satisfaction??? Rituals can be used for many things! Please assure me that you are not intending turning ME into history.
