Listen, SS, I don't know what you have in mind, but if you print me out some more of your poetry and send it I'd consider it a blessing. Just remember, my grandkids come to visit and at least 2 of them are ALREADY READING!!!!!! By-the-by, all you frozen-north suspectin' santees, I have it on the authority of a snail-mail envelope that Santa is in Santa Barbara. Wouldn't that be in California? Tw |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Crystal Date: 27 Oct 05 - 07:52 AM My sister, when aged 5, told her whole class there was no santa, the day after mum had carefully explained that, no, santa didn't really exist. No wonder she wants to go into politics! |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,jacqui.c's SS Date: 27 Oct 05 - 08:12 PM Never fear little one. Santa has been battling with the dreaded lurgy but is now back on task, even if I do hear that you're moving, just to confuse me. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Nancy King Date: 28 Oct 05 - 02:23 PM Dear Patient (I hope...) Krissie Kringle: Yikes! I hope I haven't missed the sleigh! I just remembered you need a clue, But my creativity's gone away So this little list will have to do! Age & gender - over 60 (barely...), female. Favorite colors - earth tones other than orange. Favorite type of book - historical fiction, thrillers (but I work in a library, so have access to whatever books I want). Favorite type of music - most types of folk music, especially good harmony singing. No particular CD's currently on my list. I'll pass on the videos and T-shirts, thanks anyhow. Collect anything? Just dust bunnies and miscellaneous paper, but I already have plenty of those. Hobbies - gardening, puzzles, needlework, and of course, folk music. Prefer gold-tone jewelry. I'll be pleased to get whatever my Secret Santa sends my way! Something from his/her home area, or his/her favorite music, would be great! Thanks -- and I'll try to be good! Nancy |

But I have thrown in a few veiled references to where I live. Have you worked that out yet? Your Secret Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: freda underhill Date: 29 Oct 05 - 02:16 AM my secret santa is a nature lover and very informed for someone who hangs out with reindeer. S/he has sent a postcard of the very rare the western jackalope , a species which looks like a cross between a groundhog, a rabbit, and a deer (it has huge antlers). Postcode blurred but could be Albe...que?? I promise you santa, I will not have toooo much fun... and if a western jackalope delivers my christmas treat, with you on the sleigh(t), i will be very surpised and pleased!! freda (trying to be good) |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Tannywheeeler's Sweet & Secret Santa Date: 29 Oct 05 - 04:01 AM I want to give you something, my child, for we are drifting in the stream of the world. Our lives will be carried apart, and our love forgotten. But I am not so foolish as to hope that I could buy your heart with my gifts. Young is your life, your path long, and you drink the love we bring you at one draught and turn and run away from us. You have your play and your playmates. What harm is there if you have no time or thought for us. We, indeed, have leisure enough in old age to count the days that are past, to cherish in our hearts what our hands have lost for ever. The river runs swift with a song, breaking through all barriers. But the mountain stays and remembers, and follows her with his love. (Rabindranath Tagore) Dear Tannywheeler A tiny pressie is in the post From Hull, Hawaii or the Holy Ghost Music will sing to you From a special place Not all JUNK is trash (with a smile on my face) In time you will understand What the Loved Ones bring With a thrill up your spine When they sing sing sing Not for a grandchild This special treasure But for YOU, Tannywheeler forever to treasure! heh heh heh.... your Secret Santa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: My guru always said Date: 29 Oct 05 - 05:41 AM Dearest Secret Santa: Veiled references is it? Are you a lost soul trapped within the Littlewoods catalogue? (Pratchett would have created a good story on that line methinks!) Or is this the 7 veils & are you a member of the Belly Dancers of the UK? Location? Your avid reading of the Littlewoods catalogue combined with your 'Dougalness' points me to the UK., Northern possibly - but I'm probably way off-base *grin* |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,The SS of My Guru Always Said Date: 29 Oct 05 - 08:09 AM I think that it'd be safe to say that you couldn't be more wrong in your guess at my geographic location. And that's a hint. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: SINSULL Date: 29 Oct 05 - 11:35 AM So sorry, Santa. I have had to fight for computer time. All those Mudcat addicted house guests! I was, as you may have heard, the "Voice of Reason" at the Getaway. The only normal one in a sea of demented tooth fairies and bumble bees. The pictures tell it all. Please don't hold me responsible for the Jacqui inspired madness. Thank you for the chocolates. I have them hidden away and will open them on a cold night with a cup of cocoa. Much love (I'm no fool) SINS |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,SharonA's Starting to Stress Santa Date: 30 Oct 05 - 02:52 PM Still nothing from Sharon! If anybody knows Sharon, or knows what she might like, please let me know. I'm starting to get really worried now because I can't find stuff for her unless I know what she might like!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: GUEST,Freda's Careless Claus Date: 30 Oct 05 - 03:07 PM Only one card? The post must be slow this week.... The site that you pointed to is incorrect in one significant fact. The jackalope (which is not any relation to the antilabbit) is actually a juvenile form of the north pole reindeer. The latter, in turn, really is a separate species from the northern European reindeer, in that they are able to fly. The jackalope, which one can easily see is related to the deer, practices flying by taking prodigious long jumps...up to fifteen metres. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: My guru always said Date: 30 Oct 05 - 06:08 PM So, my Dear Secret Santa, you know so much about me but I know so little of you - broader hints please for this Stoopid Santee.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Charmion Date: 30 Oct 05 - 06:29 PM Oh, Father (Mother?) Christmas, could it be that you are *threatening* me? Dead mouse and smelly sock, and not even Hallowe'en yet! But you've given me a good hint to your identity -- you've got to be at least partly feline, with such tid-bits at your disposal. But since you ask ... I am 51 years old and I play the guitar and the mandolin. I have just acquired a tenor banjo. My favourite colour is green. I like CDs with mixed songs and tunes, preferably traditional. Something from your home area would be nice, just so long as the soloists do not meow. An all-instrumental CD that I could listen to while working would be great; I think I'm wearing out my copy of "Old Hearth" by Robin Huw Bowen. I like history, memoirs and biography (but not the gossipy film-star kind), and novels, especially Terry Pratchett and good detective stories such as those by Minette Walters, John Brady and Peter Robinson. I like song books and tune collections. I read dots & tadpoles, but struggle with tabulature. No t-shirts, thank-you very much; I have one that says "Eat More Possum" and therefore need no others. I don't collect stuff, at least not on purpose. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: Pseudolus Date: 31 Oct 05 - 12:32 PM To my Gorgeous secret santa, More about myself? Hmmmm, I'm married to an amazing woman and I'm the father of two teen-aged girls (14 and 16) and father to twin boys (just turned 2!). The amazing woman provided the twins! I've been lurking around the mudcat for about 5 years or so and I probably hold the record for the longest mudcat tenure while meeting the fewest mudcatters face to face! I play the guitar and sing, and at my church I am the Contemporary Praise Team leader along with my wife. In that group I play the drums which is an old bad habit I picked up in high school. I'm 47 years young and one of my favorite activities is coaching my daughters in a variety of sports. I think that about covers it! Frank |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santa Signals - 2005 From: MMario Date: 31 Oct 05 - 12:47 PM Dear SSecret SSAnta: Sorry I didn't see your note when first your posted - but I was Chocolate? yes. Yummy. Not particular, though I *appreciate* good chocolate I always give chocolate a chance. Diets don't effect chocolate consumption!~ SSilly SSanta! Chocolate is exempt from diets! Bourbon no, Scotch normally only if a single malt, coffee and tea but not decaf! "City Dude" and "sophisticated" I don't think have ever been used to describe me. And as far as guessing - I suspect you are on the right hand of the pond - but that could just be trying to throw me off. MMario |
