From: GUEST,Joybell's Joyful Bell jingler Date: 07 Dec 07 - 08:03 PM Joybell, ma dahlink, if December 25th arrives before your package, keep up your hope. You ARE remembered... I just sent my flying reindeer out to gather various and sundry for your pressie package, and they got a bit lost. So your gift may be late. But it will still be coming... Rest assured. |

But yer obviously a man of taste ... Yer stuff is all packed off now and is in the hands of the postal elves. Don't go stalking the post office for a while, tho.

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: Snuffy Date: 22 Nov 07 - 12:56 PM I hope it is the goodies and not the elves that are wrapped up and ready to send. Gathered goodies go down great, but preferably not with elvish fingers in them. I shall keep on being as good as I usually am - I don't get better than that! |

I'm just checking in to make sure you are still being a good boy. My elves 'ave been busy and have gathered goodies for you. Just need 'em to pull their little elvish fingers out and get them wrapped up and ready to send. December is just round the corner and Yule is galloping up fast behind. Keep being a good boy Santa |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Pla From: Rapparee Date: 22 Nov 07 - 12:09 PM Dang, Santa, I'd think that the reindeer would know the route by heart by now. Tell ya what: I'll leave out some Redbreast and you can tipple or not as you see fit. Unless you'd rather have some 16 year old Bushmill's single malt.... |

It's cold up in that jet stream. Nice bowl of chilli and garlic bread would be a welcome sight. Or maybe some bar-b-q (to go). No alcohol cuz I'm drivin. CaRS |

I was good yesterday and did not peek at the Mudcat all day. Today Sandra in Sydney tipped me off about this first word from the giant elf. Good 'ol Sandra. SO, Santa HELLO! I do like tea, we have tea in our office and chat in the afternoons -- I have a good boss, that way--. Scents I don't do so well with, some bother my tummy. I do like and use an assortment of citrus-y scents though. My favorite is orange-blossom. So, Santa please write again! What sort of treat should I leave for you and the crew at my building's front desk? (you have to be buzzed in to access any chimneys). Please note that they have a rubber mat so you all can wipe your 34 (38?) assorted feet. Mind the terrazzo, it's slippery for snowy hooves. Sudden chilling thought...Oh, dear. Now that I have a Santa, I really DO have to be good. I was planning otherwise.... Linda |

Them colleens get such a good price for their homespun from the yankee tourists, they literally sell the shirts from their own backs. You can tell there was a nip in the air the day that snap was ... errr ... snapped. So, you were in Canada and didn't call in to the North Pole to swap howdies? Won't hold it against ya. Ireland was a li'l shopping expedition (stocking up on the poteen for the older girls 'n' boys on m' list). Next trip out, I've promised the reindeer gals that I'll go to the stock sale down the Yukon and bring them home a stud. Work hard, play hard - that's their motto!

Perhaps My santa works for a planning department - now we all KNOW that they take forever to do anything! Got any clues for me santa? Have you become a trappist monk and taken a vow of silence? Tease me a little, you know you want to! Cheers, Lucy |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: GUEST,Silenus Charm, Dave'sWife's Santa's CRE Date: 21 Nov 07 - 12:26 PM Hullo Dave'sWife, I was wondering, did you get Santa's postcard? I hope so. He was passing through the Tarheel State recently and thought you might like a recipe souvenir. Santa loves to cook, much like you -- and like you, he believes that old family recipes are the best. He'll see what he can do in that regard. You wouldn't believe how old his family is! Santa hopes that you will have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and he also rather selfishly hopes that you will post your dinner menu somewhere in Mudcat, assuming you're cooking -- your brilliant food writing always whets his appetite for his next meal. Alas, as we approach Christmas that next meal is often a quick mug of soup, or at best grilled cheese... Yours in haste, Silenus Charm, Crack Research Elf |

You have probably convinced yourself by now (with some justification) that your Secret Santa is a real rotter or a sad loser, and/or that he or she has forgotten you or is ignoring you. Well, nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, your Santa has been expending what little energy he or she has left over from actually working for a living on gathering an assortment of goodies for you. And the assortment is almost complete! Your pressie will be winging its way to Scotland very soon, so rest easy! Your harried-but-faithful Secret Santa |

We have been busy preparing the rest of your cornucopia of giftness, not to be opened, of course, until the day. Watch the post now........ |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: Megan L Date: 20 Nov 07 - 05:39 PM Dear Santa well according to the lass in the resturant there was a rogue elf seen getting drunk in Bejing when he was arrested he asked them if they had seen his friend Jack. after much searching the police officer was able to tell him the troublemaker was causing earthquakes in Iceland. I knew Skarpi should never have let Jack and the trolls get a boom box and brenavin. Anyway said elf has now been released from police custody and escorted to the airport with a gentle advice on not returning to Bejing in the near future and definately never to bring Jack with him. Last seen boarding plane to Iceland clutching two number 26 a number 59 and a side order of 102. so the reindeers should be able to intercept him before he reaches the party. Yours truthfully Meg |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: bfdk Date: 20 Nov 07 - 03:36 PM Esteemed BOSS Santa, Thank you ever so much for the update, I'm very much looking forward to your communications. I'm also relieved to hear that no elves were harmed in the process :-) I wouldn't mind, though, if one or two elves were indeed stuck to the parcel, you never know when a couple of replacement elves might come in handy. Already we've heard stories of elves getting lost in China and some that may be on the verge of perishing off the Maine coast. Who knows, it might happen to some of mine, too, when the time to deliver comes.. Hot glue gun taken away, you say? Health and Safety do tend to have a dampening effect on all sort of revelries, these days, don't they? I mean, what's the harm in letting a few harmless elves have some fun with a hot glue gun..? Authorities, indeed!! Your instructions regarding the whens, wheres and whys have been duly noted and taken ad notam. Things shall be carried out according to your instructions, oh esteemed BOSS, and to the letter. There's a dog leaning heavily on me here, tail wagging, ears pricked - insofar as dacshhund ears can at all be pricked - and tongue lolling. He wants to know if he may consider himeself "a person" in this respect? Or do only two-leggers qualify for that description by your standards? He would like to make it clear that he has all of 12 years of practice and experience in opening his own christmas presents, so opening one would pose no problem whatsoever.. He also wanted to sign himself "hopefully yours", but I told him I'll have none of that, as I consider him "hopefully mine". Hopefully, you don't mind, Esteemed BOSS Santa. Reverent and expectant greetings from Denmark, Bente |

To late however to do anything about that now since the parcel has been handed to my alternative delivery source. The reindeers refuse to do a thing before christmas eve. Please inform your furry friends that any furry creature seen in the water in the vicinity of Maine is NOT i repeat NOT food. the number of parcels that have gone astray because cats cannot control their urge to consume anything furry:( Now it may take a little while to arrive because the gulf stream plays up a bit at this time of year and my alternative delivery source does not like getting to cold. Take care my dear and inform your dear papa that he is being watched so keep doing the exercises or i will be forced to forward a parcel of Ruddolph droppings. Your sincerely Insanity clause |
