Hello Santa. Aquarius - like Lewis Carrol and several other weird types. And well, I'm stuck in the 19th century really but I like the pretty things, and the fun things, the New-age has come up with. Tables? Like the round sort King Arthur had? Mathematical ones?
This is such fun. Thank you for your message. I do like a playful Santa.

Off to look for the rare dark green, beaded armadillo + crate for posting. Or was that bearded? No! it's beaded alright. Just the thing. Maybe I'll throw in a book or two - "The Mystery of the Dark Green Beaded Armadillo". "101 Ways to Cook Dark Green Beaded Armadillos". "Knit Yourself a Dark Green Beaded Armadillo". This is going to be such fun. You'll be glad I'm you Secret Santa, jennbrooks.

I am the very model of a goofy mudcat Santa Claus
I want to send you prezzies, cards and stuff that will not make you cross
To do so tell me what you like because in that realm you're the boss
Art, music, books and videos—or maybe some spaghetti sauce?

I can send you rap or bluegrass, madrigals or ballads, blues or bop,
Celtic harp or classical, or jazz or perhaps some hip-hop?
Dylan, Rolling Stones, Kate Rusby, John Renbourne or Beethoven.
All you have to do is ask: Ho ho ho—let the games begin!

To my dear Secret Santa,

I am, I am glad you're my secret Santa! For obviously you understand the importance of armadillos in my humdrum daily life! At the risk of sounding selfish and self centered, though, may I say what I forgot to say, which is that songbooks are also always welcome. As well as being easier to ship. Usually.

I tired lemon juice and holding a match up to the computer screen, but I couldn't make the invisible ink show up. Still, I do look forward to hearing from you.

Oooooooooh! I have a Santa. Yes the hints are pretty much as per 2005. Alas I am no longer working in a library (having succumbed to the great lets make librarians redundant fiasco) so I'm flogging library software instead!!!!!! heh heh heh.

Still have a book allergy unless it's the sort with dots in or alternatively with footprints in (dance notation for the confused).

I will now do my best to BE GOOD but I'm not that hopeful since it appears I will be spending 2 work related weeks in Scotland! Hic Hic Hic

About the present - "Sad Sweet Songs of the Armadillo in Love" should be just the thing. Now! Where to find a copy? Might have to write it myself. Failing that a local songbook? Ah! ha! a trick! a trick! I'm not going to tell you what "local" is. Not even if you cover me with lemon juice and hold a match to me.
But seriously now - a local songbook?
