I'm starting this thread because Guests or people in guest disguise technically aren't supposed to start BS threads. But from here on out, if you want to REALLY tease your Santee with clues, be sure that you LOG OUT FIRST! (Top of page, drop down menu, select "log out" and reverse to log back in.) Also, along the same lines, when you're in Guest Santa mode, remember not to accidentally sign your name. :)

Enjoy! And once again, thank you Liz for doing this for us!

Let the games begin!

"Like as the 'Art desireth the waterbrook, so longeth my soul after," a heck of a lot better hints that what I've got to work on so far!!!!

C'mon, boy! You can do better than that! At this rate, you're gonna end up with jalapeno chocolate moisturizing cream for those knobbly knees!

More hints! ... or you'll leave me to my own devices, and then I'll only be reigned in by the paranoias of the postal service.

Date: 06 Oct 08 - 11:40 AM

How did THAT happen? Last thing I need is wretched elves hitting the "submit" button before I finish typing ....drat, drat, drat ... and now a reindeer seems to have forgotten his manners and is barging into me as I'm trying to - look, just behave yourself, will you?
Pointless. Can't read. Might be able to map-read but can't read.

Anyway, Barb'ry, my dear, have you left your Santa any useful hints? Because it's not exactly an easy year, what with the elves all going hyper ADHD on me with those bowls of credit crunch and the reindeer getting silly about blue tongues when they will insist on eating too many M&Ms and then looking in the mirror. So a few hints might be useful.

Oh, and don't worry about me. We won't be expecting mince pies or sherry given the current worries about the sub prime market and all of that stuff. No, no - a nice cup of tea and a crust of stale bread will be fine, and the reindeer can manage perfectly well on carrots.

Your Yule Tide Friend.

Aha! This year, Hollowfox, you will be baffled by the absolute absence of teases, postcards and hints! But I'M ON THE CASE! Be afraid! Be VERY afraid!!!!! (OK, five exclamation marks might just be an extremely obscure clue. So obscure I'm not even sure it works in my head. But you sound so similar to me - there, I've said it! - that you might just have fun ferreting...)

Gooooooood Mornnnnnin' Albeekirkeeeeeeeee!

Yes indeedie, you diddee, diddums - just not very useful ones! So you're a senior who wants for gender, preferably in green, and you like books but don't want any, and like CDs but don't want any, and you don't want any DVDs either. Or jewelry.

OK - so I know your shirt size but ... T-shirt? I need something more challenging that that!

And I don't think I'll get a small block of gold for under $20. Or a bike.

Mind you - I'd be quite happy to send you a voucher worth 3 hours of ignoring yard work. I'll sit in my own and ignore it on your behalf. I will not, however, harass a barista for you; might happily flutter at a baristo though.

OK - there might be some mileage in the folk dancing and Renaissance Faire bits ... but we might get back into CD/book territory again.

BUT I WILL PERSEVERE! That is my pledge to you! From hither I shall thither myself thence in search of All Manner of Delights.

I shall keep thee, Arthur, and Thy Faire Guenivere posted ...

Well, aren't you the lucky one.

My elves have already put their thinking caps on to produce a suitable care package for your Battyness. We've heard that flamingos and squid are suitable items for your delectation. Now, it may be a bit of a problem getting them to you, as you live up in the wild country of New Hampshire and flamingos in particular prefer the warmer climes in the winter, not that I blame them!

Watch this space for updates.

The vet keeps saying that when she stops growing, Isolde is going to be a big cat! 'They really big 'uns' have been seen in the vicinity and are regularly seen on the farm at the bottom of the lane and in the wood   a mile away, but they promise to be good and not eat Santa, although one of my pussies did eat a Santa's Christmas robin last year!! Beware of your sleigh and the milk tankers in them there lanes. If you meet one in the lane you'll have to fly over the top, no way can two vehicles pass!

Hullo, Santa -- I've just now posted my hints. Sorry that I took so long. I've just returned from visits to far-off-lands, namely Portsmouth (New Hampshire), Portland (Maine), and Maryland (for the Getaway), so I have been away from my computer for more than two weeks.

But if you've given up on hearing from me and have gone collecting already, the wrong thing will do, too...no worries!

Ohhhhh, Limpit.......

Are you being good?

My elves are watching you and taking copious notes. I might therefore get an idea of what you want for Christmas from my crack(ed) research team, but then again I might benefit from more precise instructions. They do get things jumbled sometimes. Not the brightest bulbs on the string, you know. It says in their notes that you like pink, and kittens, and the Bay City Rollers. That alone gives me some very interesting ideas -- but is there anyhing else I should know?

Cheers,
Your Very Own Santa
