Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Jacqui's Elfine Enigma Date: 15 Dec 10 - 11:47 PM I have great hopes for present preparation in the near future. How do you feel about St. Swithen's Day? |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,MGAS's diabolically taunting Santa Date: 15 Dec 10 - 05:18 PM Good morning medear I have quested an elf to arrange delivery of a little soupcon to wet your appetite for the main course. It will be trusted to the mail and, hopefully, will reach you come rain or snow, before Xmas. You may open the package and then open the contents as a little starter. Enjoy. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Becca72 Date: 15 Dec 10 - 12:53 PM Sorry, Santa - I temporarily lost track of this thread; I've been really busy what with work and neighbor cats falling through the ceiling... I will watch the mailbox with great anticipation for the arrival of said goodies. Thank you, thank you, thank you! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: ClaireBear Date: 15 Dec 10 - 12:40 PM Santa, I am still being ever so good, though it's hard with all those heaps of salmon and berries around. Not to mention the wine. Your devoted Claire |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Anne Lister Date: 12 Dec 10 - 05:48 PM A package has arrived! Confusingly bearing UK stamps but a US return address - but I'm sure this mystery will be revealed in due course. Thank you, Santa! I will curb my instinct to rip open the packaging and wait for the right day to see what's inside. Yours, somewhat impatiently, Anne |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Severn's Singularly Squirrely Santa Date: 10 Dec 10 - 06:07 PM Oh, I am a contented, though still singularly squirrely, Santa! Severn's nuts have been gathered, wrapped, packed, and consigned to the tender ministrations of my local Village Postmistress. Soon (within a week or so) his parcel should have completed its perilous journey to Severn's neck of the woods. Will he wait 'til Christmas to unwrap it, I wonder, or will the intriguing odours of the nuts pervade his being until he simply must open his parcel? No matter: Even if he does, he will still have a layer of wrapping paper and string to get through before the nature of his gift is revealed. As to when he opens it, Severn may wait until his chosen Midwinter Holiday or not, as far as I'm concerned. I am a squirrel, after all, and we are not troubled by such details -- though I myself would certainly never open any gift sent to ME before its appointed time. One word of caution, though: If-- (As it turns out, one word of caution is rather less than adequate, isn't it? One SENTENCE of caution, then:) If Severn doesn't wish to know what manner of thing lurks inside the wrapping paper, he should not only not open the wrapped gift before his chosen Midwinter Holiday, but he should in addition not read the accompanying note until The Day has dawned. Whenever and however he chooses to unwrap it, it is my fondest hope that he will enjoy his gift at least half as much as I have enjoyed being his own, his very own Singularly Squirrely Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Artbrooks' unimaginative but conscientious S Date: 10 Dec 10 - 12:02 AM Hi Art! Sorry I haven't been here to torment you! Somehow it just hasn't happened. Maybe I'm just not creative enough. Do you suppose that's a clue in itself? I hope not.... Anyhow, rest assured that at least some of the time I might have spent thinking up clever clues has instead been spent acquiring, assembling, packing and mailing your PRESENT! It is now officially on its way, complete with a "Do not open till Christmas" sticker. You can ignore that if you like, of course, but that would be the easy way, not the Cowboy Way. In any case, I hope you'll like it! Have a wonderful holiday! -- Your unimaginative but conscientious Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Tinker's totally tinsellated Santa Date: 09 Dec 10 - 04:09 AM ....has instructed a transcontinental elf, with strict directions to deliver in time for the GREAT DAY - or else! Enjoy! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Becca's busy but befuddled Santa Date: 08 Dec 10 - 06:06 PM Near disaster averted, you'll be relieved to hear. Two of the reindeer suffering from frostbitten antlers after doing some errands in Scotland, two more with hypothermia after visiting Yorkshire. You'd think they'd be used to cold weather, living here in the North Pole, but the UK seems to have beaten all records recently for shivering temperatures. But all is not lost - your package has been entrusted to the mail services, who seem confident of making a delivery (with any luck before December 25th), so you won't need to leave out refreshments in the traditional way but you should be assured of your goodies. It goes without saying, my dear, that if your package should arrive well in advance of the right date you must wait patiently before opening it, or all might turn to dust and ashes as you watch. Have a most merry and jolly Christmas tide! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: artbrooks Date: 08 Dec 10 - 05:57 PM Dear Jenn's Santa - package received, and waiting for the tree to go up so it has a place to be under. May be a while yet. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Joybell Date: 08 Dec 10 - 02:53 PM Thank you Santa. You may need to make a watery landing. We're not flooded out yet but it's a long way from a sunburnt country here just now. Makes a nice change from drought. Your co-pilot will be treated well, senior moments are common place in out household. Hmmm so you have a "Ye Olde Poste Office". Sounds like Ye Olde England. Maybe not though. Also bilzzards are happening here in Aus too this year. Have to be patient. Looking forward to your sleigh arrival. Joy with Joy |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Joybell's ding dong Santa Date: 08 Dec 10 - 07:31 AM Well Joybell the sleigh is well and truly underway you will be pleased to hear. There were a few hiccups due to some blizzards and co-pilot Santa having a senior moment at Ye Olde Poste Office but all should be well. Hope the turbo charged reindeer make it in time!!! Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Bat Goddess in Boston Date: 07 Dec 10 - 08:22 AM Ah! Knowing it's coming is a relief ('tho I haven't had a lot of time to think about such things). Shortly after Christmas is fine...just remember, I work on Sundays (but not on Saturdays or Wednesdays). Hmmm...that means I'll throw some red and green tartan tarps over everything except Tom, the tree and the cats, see that there's a chair without a pile of books and papers, and make space for single malt and Russian tea cakes and Berlinerkranzer.

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Bat Goddess' SS Date: 06 Dec 10 - 06:18 PM Dear Bat Goddess, I hope you don't mind but your present from me will be arriving just a short while after Christmas. Mrs Claus has persauded me to deliver it in person [ish] to you just after Christmas. One of my elves is coming your way and has offered to hand it to you personally. So, please don't be disappointed if your parcel is not with you for Christmas Day, it will be with you just as soon after as is possible. Respectfully yours Santa |

It's St. Nicholas Day, so thank you very kindly, St. Nick! I don't know whether I can wait for the Big 25th, or whether I will give in and open it earlier. I'll let you know when I do! Thanks again! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Nancy's Santa Date: 05 Dec 10 - 06:38 PM who is soooo exhausted that submit got pressed a tad too quickly! Well, Nancy, although I haven't heard from you reports have it that you have behaved in a reasonable fashion so your pressie is now winging its way to you. Remember to behave and not to peep before Christmas Day. Enjoy xx |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Barb'ry Date: 05 Dec 10 - 06:34 PM Does that mean I have to keep the kettle on the boil ready for your visit, Santa, or will those nice folks from the gpo be helping out? Whichever it is, I'm rather excited xx |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Joybell Date: 04 Dec 10 - 06:49 PM That's OK Maggie. Just a little thank you gift. Cheers, Joy |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Dan's Santa Date: 04 Dec 10 - 11:22 AM Fret not Dan. Your prezzie is still under construction but due to the fact I have spent the last week building igloos, stables and small shelters for the dwarves it hasn't got any further. I KNOW I am supposed to know all the words for snow but I've been here 27 years and never had it so deep - about 15" by my bird table! Trying to keep them fed is difficult enough.There is no post around here at the moment either. Please remember I use the OLD Christmas for my celebrations - and don't give up on me yet. Warm hugs from a chilly place. xxxxxxxxxxxx |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: My guru always said Date: 04 Dec 10 - 08:44 AM There will be a warm welcome for any Elves who make it through to Old Keepers. Port & Brandy is very warming and there are always nice things to eat here *grin* Many thanks for watching out for me, Santa Dear! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,MGAS's diabolically taunting Santa Date: 04 Dec 10 - 08:33 AM G'day my little chickadee! Looking at the weather I am hoping that the number one elf makes it through. It's a determined little bugger so I reckon there's a good chance, especially if there's a nice reward at the end of its journey. anyway, all that nasty white stuff might have cleared by the time it sets off. Let us hope that is the case. I have been giving a lot of thought to your gift selection. Maybe something for the summer, to match what you have for colder times. I've taken account of one, at least, of your hobbies, just a little something for you to work on. Something spicy and something sweet. Something to listen to as well. It's all in the bag and ready to go. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: My guru always said Date: 04 Dec 10 - 05:51 AM Hmmm, lots of water in the vicinity eh? Well we had a few days on the Norfolk Broads recently and last year we crossed the pond. Curiouser & curiouser *grin* Hoping that your number one elf doesn't get stuck in the snow and that you are safe and warm! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Santa's overworked elf Date: 01 Dec 10 - 07:27 PM Allo. I'm one of Santa's elves and I look like being well overworked this year. Not one, not two, not three, but four packages to deliver in time for you lot to pull 'em out from under that tree on Christmas morning. I tell yer - that Santa gets all the credit but who do you think does all the work? Yours truly of course. And do I get to enjoy a mince pie and a glass of sherry? Not on your nelly mate. I have to stay off the stuff to watch me figure and Rudolph's the only one allowed to have a red nose this time of year. I can tell yer - I am well looking forward to Boxing Day when I can put me feet up and 'ave a nice glass of plonk, although I think that there might still be stuff to deliver after that. Ah well, life's a wotsit, ain't it? |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Severn's Singularly Squirrely Santa Date: 01 Dec 10 - 07:26 PM Down in yond forest free One evening you could see A squirrely Santa digging Underneath the Christmas tree, and singing... "Oh, I've got a lovely bunch of ho-ho-nuts. There they are all lying in a heap. Big ones, small ones, done in paper and string. Give 'em away, no need to delay," so did that squirrel sing. "Oi! I've got a lovely bunch of ho-ho-nuts. I've dug 'em up from all around the woods. Wrap 'em, tag 'em, seal 'em up in a crate Then ship the lot to Severn's cot, for Santa can't be late!" ... My goodness, but squirrels are daft! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 01 Dec 10 - 05:54 PM Something arrived in MY mailbox today. From Oz. Thank you, Joy! I'll stick it in the basket for gifts! :) SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Sandra in Sydney's Sly and Secretive Santa Date: 01 Dec 10 - 03:36 PM *HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF* The elves have done it again! Every year I worry about whether they'll get the sleigh packed in time, and most years they manage it in the nick (get it? Nick!) of time. This year the Down Under Express has pulled out of the North Pole in good time, I hope! Expect it when you see it, but a package is winging its way to you right now! Ho ho ho! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,wolfhound persons secret santa Date: 27 Nov 10 - 07:12 PM Down! Don't drool on my elves, or they will be too soggy to to deliver your package. It should be there before xmas, all being well. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 27 Nov 10 - 08:10 AM Oh, how exciting!!! I've been so extra good till I've been blue in the face (or is it just the cold?) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Animaterra's Animated Elf Date: 26 Nov 10 - 06:43 PM The sleigh has left and there are no parcels left behind on the cold cold ground, that's a good sign......in a while or so an elf should be trudging through the snow to your mail box with a package. You may open it before The Big Day if you so choose, or put it under the tree (any tree will do) for as long as you can wait. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST, JennBrooks' Secretest Santa Date: 26 Nov 10 - 12:19 PM Well, I was aiming for Wednesday, but it's going to be today -- the Great Traditional Handoff from Secret Santa to Trusted Postal Elves. Despite what some of the wrapping paper says, you have my Official and Public Permission to open any and all before Christmas Day. Hope you enjoy! JB's SS |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Ranger Steve's SS Date: 23 Nov 10 - 10:02 PM You like cooking, so are there any ingredients you're yearning for? Or a particular recipe? Throw me a (soup) bone, man! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,MGAS's diabolically taunting Santa Date: 23 Nov 10 - 07:33 AM Hmmmnnnnnnn....... You being such a clever lass I don't want to give too many clues to my holiday home. Suffice to say that you have visited the area, with your lovely Richard, and there is a fair amount of water in the vicinity. The package is almost ready for its journey and my number one elf has volunteered for delivery duty, in time for the big day. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: jacqui.c Date: 22 Nov 10 - 07:18 PM Oh dear Santa - sorry to be so contrary as far as treats are concerned. My Sweetie DOES like chocolate and would, I am sure, be willing to take any off my hands. Now, my granddaughter has a hula hoop, but I think it's a bit too energetic for me these days. Never could get the things to stay up, even when I was a kid. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Jacqui's Elfine Enigma Date: 22 Nov 10 - 07:03 PM I had all loaded up with chocolate for your surprise package, when one of my co-elves reminded me that you didn't eat chocolate. Well. All the better for me, then. Yarn, is it? I thought that you lived with the champion yarner...or is that yawner? More thought required, then. A hula hoop, perhaps? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Animaterra's Animated Elf Date: 22 Nov 10 - 06:33 PM Just checking in to see how you are behaving, and the reports I have so far are encouraging. You have been kind to animals and small children, and are helping little old ladies to cross the road, all of which is good. But reports about a break-in at a chocolate shop, in which eye-witnesses reported a person running away who looked somewhat like your good self....not so sure about that. Before the sleigh is loaded do you have anything to say in your defence? Perhaps someone else was the guilty party, and you were trying to catch them before any more mischief was perpetrated? Because, you know, we wouldn't want to see the sleigh drive off and then notice one forlorn package left behind in the snow........that would be very sad....... |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,_JennBrooks'SecretestSanta Date: 21 Nov 10 - 10:35 AM It's okay, it's okay...just because I haven't had the time to be playing guessing games with you doesn't mean I haven't been busy assembling a package full of goodies...which just may (I'm making no promises...), MAY be put into the hands of the New Nighted Snakes Postal Disservice sometime this very week. It could happen... I stole a little time to let you know you haven't been forgotten. Hope you have a perfect Thanksgiving! JB's SS |
