If you have not received your Secret Santa gift, please PM me even if you know it's coming. I'll follow up on it and make sure there aren't any problems. Also let me know if you've never heard from your Secret Santa. OK? Elf Karen |

13 Dec 01 - 03:43 PM (#609179) Subject: RE: NO SECRET SANTA GIFT??? PM Me!!! From: Bat Goddess No packages from Santa Squid received yet. It doesn't feel like the Christmas season yet, prolly cuz the landscape is unseasonally the same color as a brown paper grocery bag. But when I get the package and rip it open, I'm sure to get in a festive mood! Bat Goddess |

In Ohio, we generally have less snow than you guys, but Christmas is often white and it is at least COLD.......Not that I really love the cold, but for gawdsake, this is ridiculous! We have day lilies coming back up!!! Spaw |

I was hoping for spring all winter. But looks like the 40s's next week. No it doesn't feel like Christmas; I haven't overspent yet. Happy Santa, All. Especially Psuedolous, who secreted my santa stuff so well. Season's Greeetings, Frank, uh, Harry, uh,Bob, uh, Louella Mae. Whomever. cheers and mistletoe, Fortunato |

13 Dec 01 - 05:06 PM (#609231) Subject: RE: NO SECRET SANTA GIFT??? PM Me!!! From: Bat Goddess It was 70 a week or so ago, then we woke up to 4" of snow on Sunday -- didn't last long, as the temps went back up to 50-ish. Today is foggy, rainy, and now, of course, dark. Not December in New Hampshire weather. Landscape still the color of above said grocery bag. Whole world looks dirty and in need of a good scrubbing, despite the rain. Looks like March, but it's warmer. Go figure. Not complaining, really, about lack of snow and cold though. Looks pretty, but I really hate driving in the stuff. And the firewood pile is maintaining well. Actually I have fond memories of walking on the beach in Kennebunkport. ME in the rain on Christmas Day 1979, only person in sight, singing my head off scaring the gulls, trying to keep the rain from washing my contacts out. Despite Thanksgiving having shown up right on schedule, it just doesn't seem like it should be Christmas yet. (Spent the day trying to get into the mood by listening to Nowell Sing We Clear CDs and tapes and Maddy Prior's seasonal CD. I'm not sure if it's worked or not.) Linn |

13 Dec 01 - 06:14 PM (#609285) Subject: RE: NO SECRET SANTA GIFT??? PM Me!!! From: SINSULL Nuthin'...just nuthin' But it looks as if my apartment is sold and I may have a temporary home in Portland lined up. And I started Christmas shopping today. So all is well. I witnessed an average of one fight per store. Nothing physical just nasty screaming. Is this just a New York thing or do people celebrate the holidays oddly all over the world? The best was when a woman paid for an item and the clerk dropped it. It shattered into a million pieces and the clerk claimed that since it could not be returned in working order, she would not issue a credit. HEE HEE HEE! The fifty people waiting on line to pay weren't nearly as amused as I was. |

Belsnikkle (Big Mick's Yule Elf Liason Big Mick should be receiving his gift shortly -- at least, by Epiphany, in all liklihood, via FedEx. Unfortunately, we at the Workshop have been dealing with several technical diffeculties, which has led to delays, but everything seems to be running smoothly at the moment (Off the record, the machinery is being held together by duct tape and pixie dust... We'll have to shut down for a week after New Year's Day to get everything running properly) |

14 Dec 01 - 12:43 AM (#609473) Subject: RE: NO SECRET SANTA GIFT??? PM Me!!! From: Blackcatter THANKS SANTA! (and you're not bad!) I shouldn't expect it until a full week from now or later anyhow. It sounds like it might come in time for Solstice - if so - I'll open it at my church's big Solstice celebrate (in which I'm in charge of the spiral dance and the bonfire). I really expected (by the info the U.S. post office gave me that Alison's gift wouldn't get to her until about this time (4 to 6 weeks after I sent it) and she received it in little over a week. Go figure. Clearly, my package fit the last little hole on the nonstop jet from Orlando to Sidney (hell, I could have handed it to a tourist flying back, but the airport keeps having these announcements saying NOT to do that...) Anyway, I'm blithering, because I'm excited. Thanks again Santa! pax yall

I expect I'll get it around New Year, or a little after that. I'm sure it will be worth the wait - and the silver lining is that I won't have to wait to open it after I get it. I'm terrible at being patient, so I'll have an excuse to open it as soon as I get it. Helen |

I've done it, I've managed to get to the post office, I've beaten off the hungry lunch time hoards in my fair city to post it to you... Please be expecting, no not that... Expecting a parcel to land on your doorstep, possibly tomorrow, or Friday. I hoping certain bits remain intact, but if not it's function changes and you have a rather interesting puzzle to do. Have also put a little something in for Phoebe. Have a lovely Christmas, and enjoy your gift I hope it's to your liking. Regards LTSSS x |

18 Dec 01 - 11:43 PM (#612867) Subject: RE: NO SECRET SANTA GIFT??? PM Me!!! From: Blackcatter mzkitty - I don't think you can get in on this - the deadline was 2 months ago, but go ahead and try - you'll probably have to find someone else to be your secret santa - though that would kind of ruin the "secret" part. By the way - we've spawned around 10 threads considering the ancillary threads (such as this one). pax yall |
