What about the Elves that are fighting for Elven rights world wide - E.L.F. the Elven Liberation Front. I've had to double the pay of my elves and they get Hallowe'en off as a religious holiday (what, didn't you know that many elves are Pagan?)


And I'm still waiting to here if my secret santa is alive or got run over by a reindeer...

Actually I work for the INTERNATIONAL ELF SERVICE. We have memhers all over the world. The far-flung elves are supposed to be helping me, but you know how it is following up on so many workers scattered all over the world, it's a big job, but somebody's got to do it!

I told you I had radar about postings.

No penguins. After I sent that one after the sleigh, it had a rather nasty encounter with the bears and refused to go back, so, sorry, no penguins.

No trouble, by the way. Elves live to be abused. Yeah, I'm with you -- hurry up, Christmas!!

hello, Santa

Sorry I haven't been on line for a while - too many late nights/early mornings. Friday I got to bed around 3 after a long night making a bear for a friend's 60th birthday - last night I handed it over & we had a great party. Dunno what the neighbours thought with all the singing till all hours! (ps. the bear was appreciated & has gone to a good home with several other bears.)

I can't thank you & the elves enough for all the trouble you are taking.

Hurry up Christmas, I can't wait to see my pressie!! Any penguins in the box (or a separate box?)

bye for now Sandra

Okay! So, I sent a fast-flying penguin (what do you MEAN penguins don't fly -- that one did after I booted it a good one) to catch the elves, to bring them back so I could stick some bear stories in the cage, but when I did, the bears woke up, then all hell broke loose.

Elves is kinda brickle. We lost one of 'em, but sent t'other one back home to regenerate (good thing about elves -- even if they's broke up considerable, long's they ain't dead, they'll grow back). Got a couple of fresh ones (younger ones that ain't quite so fragile), and tranq'ed the bears enough so's they'll stay out till after you get the whole package (I hope). But, just in case, you might want to have a sharp stick to poke 'em back, if they try to get out when you pull off the wrapper.

You ought to have an interesting Christmas, at least.

Come on Santa! Give me a break here. Everybody else (mostly) has gotten several useful hints, and all I get is some old cartoon dialog. I've given my Santee enough that she/he should be able to guess everything except my hat size (5 1/4, by the way).

Well, Mr. Brooks, I thought the whole point was that this was a Secret Santa game, and so I'm upholding my end... Besides, if I give away too many hints, I fear you'll not only guess who I am, but what you'll be getting...


Ooops! Now I've done it... I'll have to hire some operatives to throw some red herrings into your path...

Just one question: You say in your hints list that you like space opera. Do you prefer Verdi, Wagner, Rossini, or Gilbert and Sullivan?

Dear Santa!!

The mystery package arrived!! I love the card -- they look like my kinda drinkin' buddies (except, since they're a buncha fictitious Scots I am sure any one of them could drink me under the table by 9 o'clock!).

But I am being good and not opening the package -- I am just entertaining myself guessing what KIND of yacht it is... :>))

Thank you!!

No, I wasn't waiting for you, just have that Santa Radar that tells me when you post, so I can respond.

Bear stories? Now you want bear stories? Sheesh! Well, okay, I'll see what I can do about that, but if those bears wake up while I'm writing ... . I guess I can send more elves, but your pressie may be late. Just remember, it's your own fault.

Thankyou Santa - maybe in the new year you can add your bear stories. Or maybe you can write them down & pop them in wth my pressie. Then there would be even more bears in my place (I've only got 800 or so)

I notice you posted minutes after I did - it was near midnight here (it is again)- were you waiting for me to pop my head out of my cave?   I hope you haven't been waiting long but I got home from a concert far too late to log on last night.

Dear Santa:

Roger that, good buddy -=- the boys down at Lindbergh field will be looking for you, but the want you to know they usually stock JP fuel, not alfalfa hay or bermuda neither. So hard to say what they'll be able to come up with. If you prefer, feel free to land those suckers in my back yard (flaps on hard, it isn't very long!) and they can mow the lawn for me -- I'll leave it growing special!!

Thanks for the grins, mate!!

Dear Nathan,

Annanias and Hezekiah are very excited and having lots of fun looking for a present for you. They are seriously considering something to do with this area. Sadly, they missed the Folklore Society Festival on Saturday. They had planned to look for a present there, but alas, circumstances did not permit. Progress has been slow. They are a little cold at the moment, being natives not of the North Pole but of California. They miss the sunny skies and the flowers that bloom until December. But they are coping nicely, and soon will become accustomed to the colder climate. It is so hard recruting people from elsewhere. But it must be done. It's so hard to get good help these days.

Sincerely,
Santa Claus

Nice try!

Yes, I've followed the thread with great interest, wondering if you could resist it. So, I have not posted to it, despite a couple of close encounters of my own that were burning to be told.

By the way, me and my varmit dogs finally got the nasty beasts crated and sedated. Hope that stuff doesn't wear off until after you open the cage, er, box.

Thoughts of a lovely Christmas, City Gal, don't let it worry you that your Santa might be just a bit deranged. Never fear that you might get real beasties, snarling, growling, slashing, trying to gnaw off your ... .

Sorry, sorry, sorry for not speaking up earlier, but Santa's awfully busy at this time of year. I just got the Hallowe'en decorations down and am honoring the daily fasting of Ramadan.

I could give you hints, but Santa isn't truly known for his subtlty now, is he...

Let me just say:

I live in a foreign land
The white surrounding me is not snow
I live in a big city
I like folk music
I use a computer
I have not heard from my Secret Santa either
