Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 05 Feb 10 - 10:04 AM I was watching it after having a back-channel conversation with Micca about one of his previous santees. :) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Bat Goddess Date: 05 Feb 10 - 09:04 AM Is ANYBODY (besides Liz) paying any attention to this thread? Just curious... Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Bat Goddess Date: 03 Feb 10 - 04:55 PM Mary, are YOU my SS?!? Linn |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Firecat-claws Date: 03 Feb 10 - 02:48 PM Glad to hear it arrived and was acceptable. The Designated Elf even took a picture of the figurines with Torchwood tower in the background but a) she took them on her mobile phone and can't figure out how to get them 'elsewhere' and b) you can't actually see the tower, just a blazing white light which would be particularly cool if it was UFO related but actually the sun was coming in at a low angle ... ! And you KNOW we don't identify ourselves! bugs & bunnies, Firecat-claws |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009/Fireclaws From: Tig Date: 02 Feb 10 - 03:27 PM Firecat was so overcome with her pressie we haven't been able to get any sense out of her since :-) She was also very distressed that she couldn't work out who the wonderful person who KNEW she lived for Dr Who has actually BEEN to the exhibition to choose her present - AND sent her the bag it came in!!! I suggested she should post to you just as her SS and thought she had done but knowing her ...... Please accept my thanks and appreciation you gave to my hopeless case of a daughter. Identify yourself and I'll make sure she says Thank You herself. Love and hugs xxxx |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: jacqui.c Date: 02 Feb 10 - 02:41 PM Still nothing here either. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Bat Goddess Date: 02 Feb 10 - 10:35 AM Haven't heard from my Secret Santa since he/she mentioned a delivery date of the day pre-Christmas when I was not going to be home. Santa? Still out there, Santa? Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Hawkers Hopelessly Hinvisible Santa Date: 02 Feb 10 - 08:02 AM Hi Hawker Has your pressie arrived yet? If it hasn't it should have by now. Santa |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 14 Jan 10 - 06:43 AM Barb'ry - more apologies... the GPS (Great Polar Signpost) got trashed and all sorts of things have happened... you will get something, but I'd really recommend not holding your breath until it gets there!

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Firecat-claws Date: 13 Jan 10 - 06:50 AM O.Kaaayyyyyyy ... it was posted well before Christmas and on 'home turf' soooooo ... has it arrived, Firecat? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Hawkers Hopelessly Hinvisible Santa Date: 12 Jan 10 - 07:47 PM The reindeer are packed and the sleigh is on its way, could be with you late this week or next. Sorry it is late, I had to wait until I went into town for some of the items. Enjoy |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Alison's Blatant Santa Date: 24 Dec 09 - 01:33 PM Alison, there will be no mystery whatsoever when your pressies finally arrive, I fear. Santa is being ecological this year (Yeah, that's it - ecological) and saving the world from wrapping paper. Oh all right - I confess. Santa was a wee bit rushed. Not nearly rushed enough, or Christmas wouldn't be late. For Customs reasons, Santa also had to include his or her real name on the outside of the package. Apparently they wouldn't even let the reindeer in the country without a responsible adult. Fortunately, Santa had them fooled on both counts! Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Anne Lister's ssecretssantass Date: 24 Dec 09 - 01:19 PM Anne Lister, Anne Lister, patience, but no fear, is called for at this time... Santa and the elves have magically assembled your pressies, but being caught in a vortex of moving the workshop to new digs, instead of flying by sleigh, the Gifts will instead be coming by slow camel, as is traditional in these parts, and should be there by In the meantime, we wish you the very best of Christmas and for the New Year! ~ yr ever faithful SS crew |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 24 Dec 09 - 11:31 AM I hear the package I sent missed hitting the house. Good. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: CET Date: 23 Dec 09 - 06:55 PM Well, it's here exactly as promised - a very interesting looking parcel from the U.K. with NO return address. Can't think how that got through Canada Customs. I can hardly wait. I can definitely see a promotion to Santa Claus first class in your future. Edmund |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Eye Lander Date: 23 Dec 09 - 12:32 PM Dear Secret Santa I haven't looked at all, Andy has peeped inside the envelope to see if I could unwrap any further but I was advised not to. Am now very excited about Christmas Day, (how quick can I eat my lunch, wash up and get a cuppa) Oh God I love the excitement!!!!! I may even wait til Boxing Day to make it last longer, mmm Maybe that's a bit silly. Tra SS Have yourself a lovely. xx |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Becca72 Date: 23 Dec 09 - 11:34 AM Anne, pull up a chair and have some hot cocoa. I'm in the same Santaless boat... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Anne Lister Date: 23 Dec 09 - 11:13 AM Still nothing from you, Santa. Not a message, not a card, nothing. I hope you're all right. We have some snow here but the postman has been managing to get here each day .... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Bat Goddess Date: 22 Dec 09 - 08:53 PM Tomorrow, Wednesday, the 23rd is definitely out -- Tom's off for more tests, I've got errands all over the place. Not sure when I'll be home or out. Probably more out than home. And then I have to actually get some pre-Christmas stuff done, too, which I have NOT had a chance to do. Sorry, Santa! I have so little time these days that's not taken up with work, Tom's medical stuff or trying to get done the day-to-day stuff that needs to get done around the house (not that my house looks like ANYTHING has been done to it for months!). Hmmm...Chez Sinsull can be dangerous all by itself! (But do I have to be as afraid as she should be at the threat of the glorious find that lies in HER future?!?) chortle. Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Greg Stephen's Geriatric, Grotty Santa Date: 22 Dec 09 - 03:40 PM Hi Greg Fret not that your gift hasn't turned up yet. Due to life, the universe and everything I have got confused. Who altered the dates of the year??? You SHOULD get your pressie by the Old Christmas if the elves have not gone on strike by then or the mental amnesia completely set in. Have a great New Christmas. It's good to make it last. Love and hugs xxx |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,BaTTY'S DELIVERY ELF (dAMN CAPsLOCK!) Date: 22 Dec 09 - 12:54 PM I was thinking more along the lines of Wed the 23rd, but if that doesn't work, maybe it will be waiting for you at SINSULL's instead. Be afraid, be VERY afraid! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Bat Goddess Date: 22 Dec 09 - 09:41 AM Wednesday, Dec. 30th will work -- how about a hint as to time? (So I can find a chair under all the piles o' stuff...) Warm beverage will be available. Linn |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Joybell Date: 22 Dec 09 - 04:08 AM Great!! No worries, Santa. So many trees here it's bound to land in branches. I'll have a tame Eagle bring it on down for me. Or maybe a Mudlark, Magpie, Tiger Snake, whatever. Horray. Thank you. Cheers, Joy |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Eyelander's Secret Santa Date: 22 Dec 09 - 01:14 AM Ah, sweet Eyelander, it's good to know That your pressie arrived, through the ice and the snow The gift's small in size, I hope you won't mind But the present therein, I hope proves a gem of a find Your Secret Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,BaTTY'S DELIVERY ELF (dAMN CAPLOCK!) Date: 21 Dec 09 - 07:43 PM If Tuesday doesn't work, how about Wednesday? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Bat Goddess Date: 21 Dec 09 - 07:32 PM If "BB(NL)BS's personal delivery elf" pertains to Bat Goddess (and someone seems to think it does) -- No, alas, both Tom and I will be working on Tuesday. (He works 8-4; I work noon-8.) The driveway is currently navigable in MY car (Subaru) but not in Tom's (Saturn) and, since no one will be home there will be no treats of any temperature (unless you knock off an icicle) available.

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Secret Santa to Wyrd Sister Date: 21 Dec 09 - 10:37 AM Oh Dear Me, Oh Dear Me! Santa's helpers have been unwell and not been able to get to the the sky trolley out.. Have no fear I think they'll be well enough by tomorrow to head for the skies. The parcel shall be marked EXTRA first class and we'll keep our fingers crossed. Have a lovely Christmas and all celebrations you may have. SSTWS with sincere apologies |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Anne Lister Date: 21 Dec 09 - 10:30 AM Dear Santa I have been good, honestly - but you've been so quiet and as yet there's no sign of anything arriving. Has something gone wrong? Are you OK? Should I be worried or is it all in hand? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: artbrooks Date: 21 Dec 09 - 09:45 AM Dear Santa, glad to hear that you are still out there. We are going out of town tomorrow (who the hell goes to Pittsburgh in December, voluntarily!), so there will be no harm done if it doesn't arrive before THE DAY. Just remember, the elves ain't got no union, so make the little buggers work some free overtime. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,artbrooks Evil Santa Date: 21 Dec 09 - 09:38 AM There has been a major problem with recalcitrant Elves but things are progressing , though sadly delayed |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Barb'ry Date: 21 Dec 09 - 05:26 AM Thanks Liz. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 Dec 09 - 11:28 PM BARB'RY - got a message from your barmy benefactor to say "sorry, life has gotten in the way and your gift will be an 'Old Christmas' present"... do not fear, you have not been forgotten, just misplaced. I'm off to sing Christmas carols at the Ritz Hotel later... just thought I'd mention that! :D SECSY LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: alison Date: 20 Dec 09 - 11:13 PM thanks Santa I am happy to wait alison |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Cats Date: 20 Dec 09 - 07:05 PM Dear Secret Santa, I promise not to open it until 25th. Can't wait. I have been a very good girl...... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,BB(NL)BS's personal delivery elf Date: 20 Dec 09 - 06:56 PM Inquiring minds want to know if: 1. You will be at home on Tuesday the next? 2. Your driveway is navigable? 3. Will there be a warm beverage available? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Bat Goddess Date: 20 Dec 09 - 10:33 AM "Personal delivery"...uh oh. That sounds dangerous. (Well...there was "personal delivery" involved last year, too -- definitely not dangerous.) A-waiting... Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: artbrooks Date: 20 Dec 09 - 08:54 AM Santa? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 20 Dec 09 - 01:43 AM add to that the current postal strike ... sandra (who just might be delivering the last few local cards!) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Alison's Hopeful Santa Date: 19 Dec 09 - 04:52 PM Alison, your package is on its way, but the reindeer cannot promise to be there in time. These new animal protection are such a hassle - apparently 24 hours of hoofing it in a row is just too much for the NPSPCA. Your present should arrive just before Christmas if we're lucky and soon after if we're not. HO HO HO! Santa |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Secret Santa of a Cornish Cat Date: 18 Dec 09 - 11:21 AM The reindeer are galloping, galloping, the elves are scurrying, scurrying, and other seasonal thingies are doing other things ending with -ing. With luck your parcel will be with you in time for Christmas. You may open the outer covering and investigate, but on no account open the rest before December 25th! It might turn into something nasty! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Wolfhounds Secret Santa Date: 17 Dec 09 - 07:04 PM Well the parcel of goodies destined for you had been loaded onto the sleigh and sent off in a northerly direction. Hopefully the snow wont impedethe journey too much and your Gifts will arrive before Christmas Day. Have a Jolly time Santa x |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Batty's Batty,No Longer Baffled Santa (AKA B Date: 17 Dec 09 - 05:43 PM Dear Batty, The nisser, tomter, elves, brownies and other assorted wee folk have been hauling all kinds of assorted bits 'n pieces back from wherever. I don't inquire too closely as to where or how they acquire some of these things, though. Deniability can be a good thing... Anyway, mthe package is being assembled and will be winging its way to you soon. There may even be a personal delivery involved, elves can be so handy sometimes... |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Vectis's Very Virtuous Santa Date: 17 Dec 09 - 04:35 PM Greetings to you now enjoying summer near the bottom of the world. Most of your pressie will soon be in the hands of one of Santa's favourite helpers, who has promised to deliver the package directly to you, thus cutting out the postman. There was a little problem in completing part of your gift and that will follow on as soon as possible after the yuletide break. With luck it may be with you upon your return to the UK. In the meantime, enjoy your Christmas with your family down there in the nether regions. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Becca72 Date: 17 Dec 09 - 08:16 AM Here we are just a week away and no word from Santa for me. :-( Are you out there, Santa? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Dan Schatz'z pleazed and dazed Zanta Date: 17 Dec 09 - 12:50 AM Dan, big package iz en route. Wrapped prezzie(z) inzide. Safe to open carton. Enjoy! Ho ho ho! Zanta P.Z. Dratted zticky keyz! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Joybell's apologetic elf Date: 17 Dec 09 - 12:48 AM Joy, If I had the gift of confab like some of our Mudcatters, I'd turn this into a song. But here's the long and short of it: Those reindeer, the ones that hang around behind the Mudcat Tavern, they're the third string group hired by a contractor who works for me out of necessity (too many places to visit on my own any more). That group is a little hung over right now and they refused to head to your side of the planet. Something about the essence of permafrost in their veins will boil at your current temperatures. So we've devised a little plan. This group of reindeer may be lushes, but they're fairly creative when they're Yours truly, Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Alison's Distracted Santa Date: 16 Dec 09 - 04:16 PM Oh Alison, your Santa must apologize. He got soused with eggnog and didn't have his act together - the reindeer will take off tomorrow, but I fear from the North Pole to Australia will take them more than a week. Rest assured, gifties are on the way! Old Christmas is January 6. Does that count? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Sandra in Sydney's gobsmacked SS Date: 16 Dec 09 - 09:54 AM Patient, virtuous AND discreet?!? I'll get the paperwork started on your sainthood. (ed note: one of the examples of St Nicholas' sanithood was smacking somebody during the Council of Nicea. This was held as proof of his sainthood because the Emperor Constantine did not have him executed for committing a violent act in the emperor's presence. The petty detail that Constantine agreed with Nicholas had nothing to do with it. Really.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: GUEST,Sarah's Shipment-Shape Santa Date: 15 Dec 09 - 10:27 PM Sarah, Don't get a ticket for double porking. Ahhhh, The glory that is Grease! Chopped up pigmeat for Christmas? Will there be Auld Lang Swine for New Years and Hogamany? I'm told that in America, they don't grind up their hogs until Groundhog Day itself. So go enjoy your pork, but know that when we meat again with everything at steak, all shall be re-vealed. I'm glad to see you have no fear of Christmas. After having a few shots tonight, you will be totally immune to Santa-Claustrophobia, Noel Cowardice and North Polio. Nothing will perish beyond your Ken, but as we've already established, poor Kenny's on his own. So, your unarrived parcel, being still in the delivery system can be considered as "pre" even while it's still classified as "post", but I assure you that your present will be passed to you in the near future. So are you OK with the present "time-space continue-'em"? Our favorite flutist deserves to be gifted as well as talented. You can tell me tomorrow what tunes were played with me in mind. Rest Ye Even Merrier, Santa |
