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: 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: 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: alison Date: 20 Dec 09 - 11:13 PM thanks Santa I am happy to wait alison |
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: Barb'ry Date: 21 Dec 09 - 05:26 AM Thanks Liz. |
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: 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: 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: 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: 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. Linn |
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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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,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,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: 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! SECSY LTS |
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: 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: jacqui.c Date: 02 Feb 10 - 02:41 PM Still nothing here either. |
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: 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 From: Bat Goddess Date: 03 Feb 10 - 04:55 PM Mary, are YOU my SS?!? Linn |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa messages 2009 From: Bat Goddess Date: 04 Feb 10 - 10:54 AM Actually, I've been suspecting Ranger1. Linn |
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: 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. :) |
