Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,A Shimmeringly Secretive Santa for Sharon D Date: 05 Dec 12 - 09:22 AM It's also the place I remind Sharon Day (and all other dilettante Santees) that without hints and suggestions the elves are likely to send a Parcel of Rogues for Christmas! You Have Been Warned ! Post gift suggestions here, please! |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Severn Date: 06 Dec 12 - 09:44 AM Santa, Good to finally hear from you! My house brownies, Hash and McGhee, as usual will be waiting in the courtyard out back of my townshack with provisions for you, your elves and your reindeer. I'll be home this year, fate willing, rather than in a horse-spittle and will look forward to opening up your package first thing. I always enjoy learning about my Santa's home area (I must be an expert on Polar folksongs by now) and have always been pleased with my gifts all these years. Let the mystery begin! |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: SINSULL Date: 06 Dec 12 - 02:07 PM Dear Santa, Just in case: I own thirty five assorted inflatable and/or battery operated Santas, lobsters (one is 4' tall), tiny nuns by the hundreds, an inflatable moose head, assorted and mostly deformed flamingos, religious musical water fountains, flyable broomsticks, and just plain copious crap. I've been good. Maybe you could be too?????? SINS |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Barbry's Bodacious Bringer of Ballast Date: 06 Dec 12 - 03:49 PM Ahoy, there, Barb'ry! This is yer Santa speakin'! I been scourin' the Seven Seas for the perfect booty for your stockin' this year, and been feedin' the reindeer extra goodies for the trip. They are planning for early take-off sometime this weekend, so swab yer decks and keep an eye on the crow's nest, for an air drop sometime later in the month! What with the shrinkin' ice floes and the unsettled seas, it'll be a rough voyage but we've seen dirtier weather, so hang tight to yer sheets and make ready fer our arrival! |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Rapparee Date: 06 Dec 12 - 05:12 PM I've noticed in past years that when Santa feeds the reindeer extra goodies his annual run turns into the annual runs. |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Joybell's Joyous Sleighbells Ringeth! Date: 07 Dec 12 - 06:11 AM Yes, O Joybell of the Awesome Possum, you DO have a Santa. Sorry I'm late in getting in touch and I hope I haven't put you through the ringer while waiting. I have an elf assigned to you that you will hear from soon, as I sent him in advance to do research on your likes, dislikes and numerous acts of goodness. As it is his first assignment Down Under, he may be doing some serious adjusting to his new surroundings, but expect a report soon. His prescence will determine your presents, but all I've heard so far is that a Rapparee-style hat is out of the question. His prior knowledge of the holidays there was based on watching an old Chips Rafferty movie a few times, but I'm sure he's acclimated by now. Just in a St. Nick of time! My Best Regards, Santa Claus |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Joybell Date: 07 Dec 12 - 06:29 PM Oh. Thank you Santa. So good to hear from you. An elf? Do I need to know a password or something? Or maybe the answer to a cryptic question? I love secrets. And secret presents and secret prescences. Best regards and Joyous thoughts. Joy |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: SINSULL Date: 07 Dec 12 - 07:02 PM oh Santa! You shouldn't have! No I really mean it. I wish you hadn't. I feel like Scrooge. "Are these the shadows of the things that will be, or are they shadows of things that may be, only?" Sighhhhhh So I will dutifully thank you for the bag of creches past and display them lovingly lest I anger you and get even worse. Those really are the tackiest angels I have seen since the arrival of the singing circling animals from hell with angels fountain. The twelve days of Christmas promise to be more like the 42 days of Lent. Not Easter surprises too? I am begging you - no Easter surprises!!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: SINSULL Date: 08 Dec 12 - 09:27 AM Oh dear! I just discovered that the creche in the bottom of the bag isn't. Fortunately the batteries are dead. What does it play? The House of the Rising Son? The whole lovely display is in the bathroom where I am hoping I can count on Fred to decrease the population. Thank you Santa. I know you searched far and wide for this treasure. SINS |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Jennbrook's jubilant jovial Santa Date: 08 Dec 12 - 10:26 AM You've been very quiet, my little friend, but worry not - a package of assorted goodies is now just awaiting a helpful postal elf. Then it's all down to the trade winds and the tides. Merry Christmas! Ho ho ho! |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Anne Lister Date: 08 Dec 12 - 10:33 AM Santa? Are you out there? I haven't heard a thing so far! And I am being good, honestly - the stuff that got tipped on the floor was knocked over by the kitten. Feeling a bit neglected here ... |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,The ART-ful Dodger Date: 08 Dec 12 - 10:40 AM Things are progressing nicely, Mr brooks. A local gem in the belly of a beast will have to do. heh heh |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,, Hollowfox's Stealth Santa Date: 10 Dec 12 - 02:19 PM Things have been a bit frantic here at Santa Headquarters. The elves are on some kind of work to rule slow down and, though the presents have been wrapped for several weeks (I did that), and a suitable box for shipment located last week (I did that), I've had my hands full with enough minor annoyances to fill an interesting novel (which I'm composing in my head even as I type). The reindeer refuse to deliver anything until Christmas Eve and the backup team of cats... (Oops. Did I say "team" of cats?!?) Oh, well. (Oh, hell...) I'll deliver the package myself to the post office this very afternoon...on my way to pick up more eggnog...LOTS more eggnog. Just wanted you to be reassured that you do indeed HAVE a Secret Santa and that Santa is actually on the job and working on sending you some holiday cheer. SS |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Nancy King Date: 11 Dec 12 - 03:20 PM Having been somewhat busier than usual this year, I never did get around to posting any hints. If it turns out I get coal and gruel, well, so be it. Hints I might have posted, had I been more on the ball, would have been virtually identical to those posted in previous years, so if my Santa -- who did send me a most mysterious postcard -- is industrious and enterprising, things should be fine. And of course coal and gruel can always be re-gifted... |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Anne Lister Date: 11 Dec 12 - 03:59 PM Santa? Yoohooo? |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Chanteyranger's Chanta -- er, Santa... Date: 11 Dec 12 - 07:35 PM Just letting you know that your pressie is on its way! |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Santa calling Sarah of the Flute Date: 12 Dec 12 - 08:25 AM Just to let you know that one of my Christmas Fairies has delivered your parcel today. It should be tucked around near the ivy on your front step, perhaps you could check? Ho Ho Ho! |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Greg Stephens' Seasonal Elf Date: 12 Dec 12 - 03:16 PM The trebuchet rolled into the yard early this morning, all counterweights were put in place and calculations calculated. The It should travel in a large graceful arc, and the reindeer will keep an eye out, giving it an airborne assist if it appears to lose altitude too soon. Yr devoted Santa |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Severn's smugly efficient Santa Date: 12 Dec 12 - 05:33 PM Damn elves are useless - they were ordered to tell you that your parcel was winging its way to you but you just can't get the staff these days! Fingers crossed it will be with you by the correct date - blame the reindeer if it's a bit late. Santa xxx |

|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: jacqui.c Date: 13 Dec 12 - 03:02 AM We seem to have one or two silent Santas. If any of you guys are having problems please let me know, then we can try and make alternative arrangements to avoid disappointment for any Santees. |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Severn Date: 13 Dec 12 - 09:08 AM .Thank you, Santa! Sorry about your Staff. Infection. The house brownies, Hash & McGhee will alter their yearly catering to provide for you and your reindeer only. Any extra food will be shared with any other and travelling wee folk and other neighborhood critters who drop by, minus MollyKitty, who is no longer with us. (Check past years' teased threads for accounts of the revelries). I'll be eagerly waiting, as the Secret Santa gift is always the first to be opened on Xmas morn. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Barb'ry Date: 13 Dec 12 - 09:30 AM Decks are swabbed and ready for you, Santa! I have a drop of Nelson's Blood ready and waiting (there's a rather nice red if you prefer!) and plenty of mince pies and reindeer treats. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 13 Dec 12 - 09:32 AM Wow! I never thought about bribing Santa. I'll have a plate of spritz cookies and a jigger of single malt scotch (do they go together? I'll have to test. . . ) SRS |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: SINSULL Date: 13 Dec 12 - 11:02 AM My Santa has been very busy. Another beautiful bag. This time with a stuffed lobster. Fabric not food. I love him, Santa. Thank you. Mary |

Otherwise, you just may receive goodies for which you have no use. Shake a leg, pluck a dulcimer or a duck, send some hints, please. Time's a-wasting! A Chagrined Shimmeringly Secretive Santa for Sharon D |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST Date: 15 Dec 12 - 11:19 AM Anne Lister, you have not been forgotten. I have travelled far and wide and in and out of time to get you things you'll enjoy. I have decided not to travel 500 miles to deliver them to you while you are in New York City (that's a hint as to who I might be), but I plan to get them to the post office on Monday. now if I can get this $#@1 computer to let me fill in the "from" bit. (*&^%...)your Loving Secret Santa. Another (useless) hint - we've met, but there was no time to visit. Love, SS |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST Date: 15 Dec 12 - 04:48 PM CB there was a hiccup on the sleigh but it will be getting airborne on Monday. Hoping it will be with you before too long. You just can't rely on these reindeer anymore ! A very ashamed Santa that didn't get their act together soon enough and now is blaming animals Look skyward Jingle jingle |

Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Sarah the flute Date: 15 Dec 12 - 05:03 PM MY PRESENT HAS ARRIVED. i FOUND IT ROUND THE CORNER AS DESCRIBED. I am now really puzzled Ho Ho Ho Santa. It had no postmark and looked like it was delivered in person. Our decorator saw nothing so it must have been a very secret fairy Santa Ho Ho Ho. The puzzling bit was that we have been doing a secret friend at school too and all the wrapping paper on my gifts this week said Ho Ho Ho so I was thinking it was to do with that. I can't get to Mudcat from school (blocked for too many swear words). but thank you. I havn't opened it yet- thought I'd save it for the big day. Happy christmas Ho Ho Ho Santa STF |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 15 Dec 12 - 08:15 PM Packages are arriving, yet some of us haven't even heard from our Santas. Sniff. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Rapparee Date: 15 Dec 12 - 09:35 PM Chin up, Stilly! Your Santa will come through or face...The Wrath Of Jacqui!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 15 Dec 12 - 11:11 PM thank you santa! |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Anne Lister Date: 16 Dec 12 - 12:07 PM Thank you, Santa - it was clearly wrong of me to doubt your existence! I shall watch with interest to see when the goodies arrive, but thank you anyway. I shall continue to wonder about your identity ... |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Bat Goddess Date: 16 Dec 12 - 05:55 PM I got a message on this thread and a postcard...hope Santa lets me know here when it might be in the post. I've sent a package (last week, I think) to my Santee. Hope she'll let me know when it arrives. I'll probably not open mine until Christmas morning (should it arrive beforehand). Things to open will be rather thin on the ground this year. (But, believe me, we're rich in the important stuff -- friends, each other, love and all that schmaltzy stuff.) Linn |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: jacqui.c Date: 17 Dec 12 - 04:41 AM Never fear Stilly - I have every confidence in your Santa, who may be so busy choosing suitable gifts that there is no time to add to this thread. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Batty Santa Date: 17 Dec 12 - 09:33 AM Actually, it was consigned to the competent hands of the post toward the end of last week, and should be arriving any month now. Since Santa is entirely non-denominational, the contents may be opened at any time, but do let me know when it appears. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Gnancy's Gnome Date: 17 Dec 12 - 09:38 AM Well, Santa's spouse got your package sent off, and it should be arriving in time for whatever Solstice holiday you celebrate. I am concerned that it was packed with due diligence (I suspect not), so keep me informed, please. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Becca72 Date: 17 Dec 12 - 09:39 AM My present has arrived! Came in the post on Saturday from far far away! 8 more days til it's time to open...I'll try not to cheat. :-) |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 17 Dec 12 - 11:52 AM Thanks, Jacqui! |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Rapparee Date: 17 Dec 12 - 10:10 PM I told you: your SS would face The Wrath Of Jacqui. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Hollowfox Date: 17 Dec 12 - 11:18 PM Thank you, Bat Goddess! We're getting the tree tomorrow, so the box will go under it then. When I went to pick it up at the post office, the (nice) guy behind the desk asked "What kind of crowd are you hanging out with?!?" I gave him the honest answer innstead of telling him we were a bunch of spelunkers. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Rapparee Date: 17 Dec 12 - 11:22 PM Hollowfox, I've spelunked. Yes, it was in my misspent youth, but I've done it and I'll shout it out for all to hear! There, I'm out of the closet. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Anne Lister's Secret Santa Date: 17 Dec 12 - 11:23 PM It's Away!! (Sorry, small Star Wars moment). I got your package to the post office today, and told them not to spare the reindeer. It should get to you by the solstice, much less Christmas. My main goal wes to get it to you before you left for your trip to the USA, but if Murphy's Law rears its ugly head, don't worry. Nothing in the package has a short shelf life. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Nancy King Date: 18 Dec 12 - 09:21 AM A package -- with no return address -- has arrived, and been placed under the tree to be opened on The Day. Woo hoo! Thank you, Santa! |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: GUEST,Gnancy's Gnome Date: 18 Dec 12 - 09:28 AM Ah, good. There are actually several wrapped goodies inside, as well as a musical instrument (of sorts) upon which to play "Hark - The Herald Tribune Sings" at the appropriate time. The latter was carefully chosen to express your colour preferences. |
|
Subject: RE: Secret Santa - Santee teasers - 2012 From: Bat Goddess Date: 18 Dec 12 - 11:32 AM Glad you got it in a timely fashion, Hollowfox! So...you just explained you hang out with crazy folk musicians rather than the fact we used to have an unfunded wildlife refuge that included a nursery colony of Little Brown Bats in the ceiling? Linn |
