Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Limpet's Loopy Elf` Date: 08 Dec 05 - 03:18 PM Dearest Limpet: Well, I'm sorry to report that I have some bad news. Your gifts are ready to go, but when the ART (Auxillary Reindeer Team) was training for the Reindeer Games, Hagelstein (Donner's Great-grandson), was being all macho, and showing off, and he pulled a leg muscle. The veternarian told him that he must stay off it until at least Monday. So your package may be a be a tiny bit late. We hope to get it to you by New Year's, though. Again, my sincere appologies. Perhaps you could think of it as a Christmas Encore? Yours, with fondest regards, L.E. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Mooman's Seriously Secret Santa Date: 08 Dec 05 - 12:02 PM Sorry that your Santa has been disconnected from the Mudcat. It is the busy season afterall. Your package has been wrapped by the Elves, and is at this very momnet heading your way. They promise me that it should make it to you by the end of next week. Enjoy. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Blackcatters Provider of Pressies Date: 08 Dec 05 - 11:20 AM Your parcel has made it's way to the Post Office in the company of elves who claim they know the way having been before. They have promised to make sure it gets safely on the plane and then to your abode in time for the 21st. It should reach you in about a week :-)) Have a good Yule xxxx |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: John MacKenzie Date: 08 Dec 05 - 05:44 AM Sorry Helen I typed it wrongly I meant your SS and his/her Elf. I was just having a bit of fun, and trying to work out who your Santa is. Giok |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Helen Date: 08 Dec 05 - 02:21 AM Giok, You can't blame me for the Googlewhacky gobbledygook. If you read carefully the Guest's name you'll see it wasn't me but my Santa, and maybe someone else, as well. :-) Helen |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: jaze Date: 07 Dec 05 - 10:04 PM Well, that's a relief! Thanks for the update. Only 18 more days to go. Oh, and keep feeding those bears. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Jaze's Silent Secret Santa's photo archive Date: 07 Dec 05 - 07:30 PM Pictured above: The long Arctic winter has begun, and it is indeed a "long winter's night" at Santa's workshop at the North Pole, where he and his elves labor ever more frantically to stay on schedule for package delivery. Work was halted temporarily due to a massive power failure, when even the backup generators faltered; the disastrous moment is captured in this snapshot, intended by the photographer to be a close-up of Jaze's present. Eventually, it was discovered that the disruption was caused by hungry polar bears that had chewed through the insulation of above-ice cables, leaving the wiring susceptible to moisture and resultant short-circuiting. (These bears can be seen far in the background of the previous photo.) Once the bears had been placated with huge mounds of Christmas cookies, repairs were made quickly, and Santa's workshop is up and running once again. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Bat Goddess Date: 07 Dec 05 - 06:49 PM Hey, SS! You mean there's MORE?!? Last week or so (last week and this week were, uh, totally nutzoid) I received the WONDERFUL calendar of English traditional customs and dates -- and the bookmark with lovely seahorses (not exactly mythical hippocampuses, but they are very, very rare) -- in my colors, too! (Did you do the cross-stitch?) I really apologise for not acknowledging this sooner (and maybe leading to worry as to whether the postal elves were doing their share), but I haven't had a lot of Mudcat time. I really have been good -- just not communicative. Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,SharonA's Swearing at Stupid Elves Santa Date: 07 Dec 05 - 04:00 PM Sorry about the delay in getting your package delivered. My IDIOT Delivery Elf had allowed the reindeer to sit on his goggles!! Result - smashed elf goggles, elf losing temper with reindeer and Santa getting angry with elf for being so stupid in the fist place. I have told the elf to buy his own replacement goggles and the package SHOULD be on it's way to you in the next couple of days. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Sarah the Flute's SS Date: 07 Dec 05 - 09:56 AM Sarah, Now, picture this; an ancient farm It's timber framed, with quiet charm The flow'ring elder shades the door My safe retreat in days of yore The waving flag in red and white Rides the wind with gentle pride And, ere I go - for you a riddle My homeland is so very little Though, granted, if you count it all Then it's no longer all that small. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,freda's guardian angel Date: 07 Dec 05 - 05:16 AM dear Santa I am observing freda as she reads these threads and furrows her brow. She has a list. witty good with maps (shanty singer?) north by north west? capable of knitting plots and weaving words dry sense of humour? a wonderful rhymer and riddler. hmm. seven letters - the seven deadly sins? she is confused, but in admiration. yours, freda's guardian angel (and i must say, it's damn hard work, keeping her out of trouble, I wish she'd give me a break!) |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Helen Date: 07 Dec 05 - 03:40 AM Hell, Secret Santa, I went to the Post Office box today and your postcard was there. Thank you! Oddly enough I have been drawn to various Buddha figures in shops in the last couple of weeks, and especially the ones just like the one in your postcard. Tricky Santa, I'm not much good at guessing games but I wonder if your clues point to longitude & latitude, i.e where Greenwich meridian meets the equator? No that's in the middle of the ocean near Africa. I give up! Helen |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Helen!

Well .. it's south of north and east of west Depending of course, where you are There now, I've given it my very best You have to work out the near or far As you wait for your Secret Santa present I just hope its a wonderful surprise Only a day or two before THE DAY Is when I've planned for it to arrive. |

Sorry it's a little old and worn around the edges - but then after all which of us is not?

Please note the instructions on the outside. DO NOT OPEN BEFORE CHRISTMAS! Remember Santa knows if you follow instructions, and package might just self destruct if opened before the day!! Have yoursel;f a merry little Christmas, [I was tempted to type Xmas just to annoy CH he he] MAPS |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Freda's Santa...Running Late Date: 06 Dec 05 - 09:54 AM well, your package is on its way - 8120 miles, or 13068 km, or 7056 nautical miles (whatever you prefer) as the sandhill crane flies. Of course, neither Santa's jackalopes nor any more mundane method necessarily goes in a straight line. Amazingly, in an unusual fit of governmental efficiency (or lies), it seems that the faster methods of mailing a package that distance are also the least expensive. Please do not open until the Solstice Holiday of your choice...or before you get it, if you are the impatient sort. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,The Rab_Noolas Clueless Foolish Santa Date: 05 Dec 05 - 05:53 PM Oh dear, silly me, I've lost both the address and the wish-list of my poor Santee, Rab_Noolas, and precious time is running out. Could you please post your list again and make sure Liz gives out your right address again, so that I can avoid shortchanging you, Dear Rab? Thanks and apologies, RNCFS |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Limpet's Loopy Elf Date: 04 Dec 05 - 11:16 PM Hello, Dear Limpet! I know I haven't posted any new hints in a long time, but there have been some technical diffeculties here at Secret Santa Central that made posting rather diffecult. I hope, however, to get your package in the post to you before the week is out. In the meantime, I thought you'd like to see what Spethan, the Typo Gremlin looks like. He's the one agreed to help me wrap your pressies, and get them in the mail. If you click here, you can see a picture of him. As you can see, he has very long fingers, and an extra pinky on each hand. That extra pinky is his "pixie pinky" and it's a magic finger. He uses it to change letters in the words you type, and he can sometimes change things he touches, too. He assures me, however, that he will be very careful when wrapping your pressies, and where magic-proof gloves. I sure hope they're heavy-duty, because I wouldn't want you to get the wrong pressie! Keep your fingers crossed! Yours, with fond regards, L.E. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Micca's secret santa Date: 04 Dec 05 - 10:04 PM No, Micca, I didn't post way back when. I sent a PM to Liz to alert her to the situation. She assures me that this other person is not another "official" secret santa. So, it looks like you're a popular man and have two santas. Your pressie is due to arrive at your doorstep around the middle of December, if it hasn't already. It's from the USA. Your secret Santa. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,ShadyLady's Secretive (yet apologetic) Santa Date: 04 Dec 05 - 09:53 PM ShadyLady, I apologise profusely for having gone missing for so long; this time of year is the worst for becoming ill, especially if you have people expecting things of you... So long as you aren't offended by creatures of the feline persuasion, I think I know just what to send you. ;) Any last-minute suggestions would be helpful, however. It appears you're into the gothic style... is there any specific element or variety you prefer? >^@_@^< (ShadyLady's secretive and apologetically ill santa-type person) |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: SINSULL Date: 04 Dec 05 - 11:22 AM Dear Santa, Thank you for not allowing that idiot elf who was probably part of last year's conspiracy to send me a moth eaten moose head. The blow up one is trouble enough. For that, I will be a good girl and stop shaking the package, soaking it in water to see if it floats, etc. Only 21 more days to go. SINSULL, on her best behavior |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Sinsull's SS Date: 04 Dec 05 - 09:39 AM You're up and around bright and early this morning my helpful elf. Perhaps you had better just get on with your work and stop teasing Sinsull. Just remember I do have to find a home for that moose head. Mary, whatever makes you think that I can get music outta my banjo? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Sinsull's Santa's (A)ssistant Date: 04 Dec 05 - 08:03 AM Oh Actually, you're right with your guess - your Santa does indeed I've been reading last year's threads (part of me job description, innit?) and I see you were jumping to conclusions about your Santa then, too. (sings): When will they ever learn? When will they eeeeever learn? hee hee hee SS(A)S |
