BS: Rescue Santas. Thank you so much

I just got the most wonderful parcel. The note told me it was from several Substitute Santas.
Thank you so very much. With Winter coming on I can't wait to wear my lovely hand-made shawl -- my favourite colour and all -- and so soft and beautiful. I've already eaten half of the peanut butter cups -- yummy. The book of postcards from Maine are great too. I love that sort of present. Also the badge from Colorado (?) True-Love tells me that's where it comes from.
The post-office lady is quite excited too -- So many trips I've made to her thinking my present had come -- when it hadn't.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. My wonderful Rescue Santas.
Love and Peace with and from Joy

It's nice to know there are people who can step into the breach when it occurs. This year it was all I could do to get one set of Secret Santa stuff out (and that recipient apparently hasn't made the connection yet. Liz, are you going to post a who's who list?)

There are some not-so-secret santas doing other good works through the year. If Mudcat ever becomes something more than a computer in Max's basement it would be nice to see an organized support program for various musical causes.

You're most welcome. Couldn't see you go two years in a row now, could we?

It was so good of you RSS. Actually there was a year in between where I got a present. It's quite true, though, that this would have been my second year in 5 without a present.

Just polished off the last of the chocolates. Wore my lovely shawl last night when it got coolish, looked over the postcards again.
What a wonderful place this is.
Cheers, Joy

So is there still anyone without a Secret Santa present?

Sian of Wales? She was my SS and put me through hoops with clues and misdirections. HMMMMM. Karma?
Although she did send me lovely gifts.

Yep, I'm still waiting but I'm with ranger1 on this. I don't mind.

Clues and misdirections are supposed to be the name of the game, eh, Sinsull????
