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: 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 |

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. Linn |

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: 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: 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: 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: 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,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: 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: 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!

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: jacqui.c Date: 16 Dec 10 - 12:11 PM St Swithin's Day. Hmmmnnnn. I can be patient, sort of. I'll have to wait until December 28th, at least, as that is when I get back from the UK. BTW, Sarah The Flute's SAnta, she has been VERY good - we had a lovely lunch together the other day - a delightful lady! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Severn Date: 16 Dec 10 - 06:35 PM My family is so spread out these days that it takes a long time to take care of all the Christmas giving and gifts. I won't use the term "scattershot" as it is one that squirrels tend not to like for some reason. Don't worry. 'Tisn't THAT season! But anyway, I always keep the SS present around until the first thing on the morning of Christmas itself to make sure I've something most special to open on the actual day. Then I'll get to daughters, sisters, relatives and friends as I can and just hang around with Molly The Cat until then. I know that slowly, but squirrelly the bounty shall arrive. The house brownies Hash and McGhee who are guardians over my townshack usually are more on the lookout foe other wee folk to party with when they visit and don't pay much attention to the bushy-tailed folk, as there are are lots of local ones around all year, but they will make sure that special food gets laid out. Acornish Hen and maybe Hickory daquiris out on the dock to wash it down with. We'll see how it all goes down with them to see the local birds trying to steal THEIR food for a change. I bought an old VHS copy of Walt Disney's "Perri" to watch to learn more of your squirrelish ways. It is snowing as we speak here in Laurel, but it shall most likely all be cleared by the time of your arrival. Eagerly awaiting your arrival with a hot cup of Santee-Freeze to keep warm while you're staying a-nest-thetized in your nest until leaving time, Severn |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Jacqui's Elfine Enigma Date: 16 Dec 10 - 08:02 PM Well, package consigned to the post. However, the winged feet of Mercury probably have frostbite, so it is likely that you will return to North Muckluck before it arrives. Please check all packing material carefully to ensure that you don't discard small stuff. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: GUEST,Sara's Endipitous Santa Date: 17 Dec 10 - 04:56 AM Sorry I've not written my favorite fluter But I've had some problems with my damned computer. "A germ of excitement", said your last polemic, But it turns out that you'll get a whole epidemic! I'd told you some time ago that I had mailed Your gifts, but alas it seems that fates prevailed. Mailing had to be delayed by aquisition Of a special last-minute new-minted addition. A follow-up to something quite dear to you That contains your Santa in a cameo, too. Huzzah! It is finally well on its way And will reach you without too much further delay. It will come to you in a plain box, nothing fancy You can open it early, if you're feeling antsy. Enjoy all in Spirit of Holiday Season For Your Santa considers you well worth the teasin'. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: jacqui.c Date: 17 Dec 10 - 10:40 AM Wonderful! My prezzie's on its way! Something to look forward to in the New Year, if I beat it home. I will examine every inch of packaging to make sure \i don't miss anything. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Severn Date: 17 Dec 10 - 03:41 PM O squirreldly-wise Santa, I recieved a box in the mail today from a San Jose address that sounded like it was full of nuts when I shook it. I take it that this is indeed and in word the very Box (it had no handle, so it can't be a nut-case) that I'll get to Fanta-Santasize over until I wake up on Christmas morn. It just rattled when I shook it. I was half expecting to hear The Chipmunks doing the Nutcracker Suite or something else from the Squirreled Music section of the library, but I'm sure that Bushy-Tailed Secret Santa, You'll go down in Hickory.... ...Or get a McAdda-Mia Award or something. (Acorny joke, I know) Or some of Mrs. Margerine's Filberts.... I'm just trying to think of Folk-related things that squirrels might do, besides maybe fill oaks..... But thank you, and Merry Christmas (unless you're Jewish and attend a Squirrely Temple) I'll try not to overdo it with the nuts, as I tend to get Planter's Wart..... Your pleading "In" Santee, Severn |

Subject: RE: BS: 2010 Secret Santas tormenting Santees! From: Joybell Date: 17 Dec 10 - 04:38 PM Oh Oh Oh Oh. Ho Ho. A package arrived yesterday. It's "Royal Mail". Lucky me to have the Queen as my Santa. Or possibly you know that I am actually Queen material. Anyway thank you so much Santa. It's heavy and all padded up so squeezing and shaking it doesn't tell me anything. I'm keeping it intact until Christmas Day. Oh Happiness and Cheer. Joy |
