Is your Secret Santa the strong silent type, strangely seclusive and .....................well secretive?

Do you sense you are a spurned or snubbed Santee?

If you are also an alliteration addict this thread may be for YOU!

SANTA WHERE ART THOU?

I'd like to join that support group, Emma, I'm feeling a bit Santa-less myself.. :-)

"We're the Santa Seekers, come from everywhere
Singin' out this wee tune to see if you are there
Hoping that you will hear our prayer
And not just leave us in despair
Alone without a Santa, and playing solitaire."
(to the tune of D-Day Dodgers / Lili Marlene)

I'll get me coat.. :o))

Best wishes,

Bente

Alas alack, alone a lass
All she does ask is Santa's task
A word, a deed, fulfil her need
A clue, a cry, a curse, a seed
Of hope, of soap, on a rope, she could cope
With a box, of chocs, or lots and lots
Of things, to her that really matter
Or a lovely CD, by some Mudcatter !

Hello. My name is sian, and I'm santa-less.

There. I've said it. The healing begins.

What's worse is that my Santee is being a Silent Sheila as well! I can't win!

We could make a pact and send each other prezzies if (gasp!) worse comes to worst!

Oh thank you Santa, those were warming words indeed on a day when the first snow of the season hit Denmark - and the wind-chill factor keeps us just about frozen stiff :-))

I'm being SO GOOD, Santa Dear !!!

Yeah, but Becca, we've got at least one strike against us: we've been hanging out with SINSULL. I think she bribed her Santa with Bourbon Balls, and that's the only reason she's got one herself.

I've heard from my Santa, so I'm not eligible to join this group, but I'd like to offer the following as a mild distraction for group therapy:

a film for you to watch.

Poke around the site (lower right hand side) and you'll find part 2. Be warned, it's very frank in its presentation!

You know Emma I think its kinda cruel to sign up to this and not play the game. I was in your position two years ago and it was kind of sad, the only joy that balanced it out was that I had such good fun with my santee. Chin up love, maybe your Santa will appear soon.

Oh dear. I haven't heard from my Santa at all, and now that I understand the rules, I'm very worried. Could the Santa in the film have been mine? But, honest, I've ALWAYS put out wine and cheese for Santa--ever since I was a little kid--and he never went feral before...

Quietly, forlornly, she turns and slips between the whispering trees, as the leaves fall like tears.

T'was two months before Christmas and all through the 'cat
Potential Santees at computer screens sat;
Clicking their mouses and posting their jive,
Waiting for their handles in "Clues and Nudges" to arrive.
Day after day, they waited and watched,
But their innocent wish now appeared to be botched.
"Nobody loves me in virtual space.
I'm a loser at Christmas, I'm out of the race!
I've been attentive to my own Santee.
But my Santa's gone missing; where can he/she be?"

So to the support group I offer these musings,
In the spirit of a sage's attachment to few things:

'Tis better to give than to receive: This thought shall guide me.
Through Mudcat as through life, with music and merriment inside me.

Now Becca, don't you fret one little bit. You have a very busy Santa, who has been searching high and low for something special for you. Trying to get as much as possible done before the madness is upon me. Keep being good, oh and dear...language... Your Secret Santa

SIGH! Becca gets a santa, Bente gets a santa, me, I got nuthin'! And I've never even put a puking flamingo in someone's garden! Well, OK, so there was the inflatable moose head, but that was a thoughtful gift, there's an identical one in some fancy home decorating magazine. I was doing Sinsull a favor, really!
