Secret Santa 2009!
Gift received, and opened.
I couldn't wait. I'm that way. It's December, already! http://blackstormhawk.com/cellar/san...%20AM_0075.jpg Not a lot of clues from the box itself ... an address in a town I know quite well, but I don't know any Dwellars FROM there, even though I find reason to hang out near that particular post office fairly often. Yes, I tried to peel off that address label, but the one underneath is also addressed to me. Drat. http://blackstormhawk.com/cellar/san...%20AM_0076.jpg No clues from the envelope ... but what about the card? http://blackstormhawk.com/cellar/san...%20AM_0078.jpg Pretty butterflies!! http://blackstormhawk.com/cellar/san...%20AM_0079.jpg Could there be a clue in this? What Dwellar wouldn't be as fluid writing an offering of Christmas greetings ... http://blackstormhawk.com/cellar/san...%20AM_0080.jpg Very pretty flowers, but, frankly, not Christmas-y, per se. I have a suspicion ... http://blackstormhawk.com/cellar/san...%20AM_0081.jpg Awesome cool! A roll of Cowgirl tape! I can put this to good use. Much more fashionable than plain old duct tape for trussing up people who annoy me. It's a pretty large roll too. You know my needs, Cellar Santa! http://blackstormhawk.com/cellar/san...%20AM_0082.jpg Now what might this be? A tiny little crate to hide tiny little bodies in? Just what I needed!! http://blackstormhawk.com/cellar/san...%20AM_0083.jpg No, that's not it. But ... hey, I know that logo! Most of the stuff these guys make you can't ship through the mail, thanks to a certain Mr. Oswald ... http://blackstormhawk.com/cellar/san...%20AM_0084.jpg Wow, Cellar Santa, you did great! That's a sweet find! :D Watch, Compass, and an LED flashlight! Super cool. I love clip watches! J'Accuse ... richlevy, because of the non-denominational wrapping paper and card, the excellent sense of style, and the whimsy represented by the tape. And I think he gets near that post office from time to time ... |
very cool! LOVE the cowgirl tape!!!
|
Awesome, wolf!

Hanukkah start next week, right?

thnaks, that's what I had remembered, but it's not in my calendar.
|
Is it rude for a gentile to wish you a Happy Hanukkah, even though s/he doesn't share your beliefs and probably even has no idea what they are?

In my opinion, you are wishing someone happiness in the celebration of their holiday. If I knew someone who enjoyed swimming in lime jello every August 4th, and I ran into them on August 3rd, I'd wish them a Happy Lime Jello Swimming Day because that's what makes them happy. If someone wishes me a Merry Christmas, I prefer to focus on the fact that they are wishing me happiness rather than the fact that they assumed I was a Christian. They would, after all, have a %76 chance of being correct. |
yay It's so fun to watch you open your gifts! Thanks for sharing.
lol literally |
Well then, Happy Hanukkah!
|
Wow...cool gifts! :D

Think of paste more like peanut butter in terms of application. Perhaps described as a cheap & cheerful form of pate. Hope you enjoy the haul Zips. This is by no means the best the UK has to offer, but I tried to include things that have been discussed in the Cellar, that you probably haven't had before and that fit the budget. Phew! Paste Selection pack Christmas Pudding Mince pies (except they are no longer made with meat here, as discussed elsewhere Spotted Dick - loads of posts, really! Tea Merry Christmas! |
I liked that article SteveDallas.
The subject of Saying Merry Christmas in the times of political correctness would make a great thread for debate. |
Merry Christmas SteveDallas

Merry Chrismakwanzakkah to all!

Woo! A present for me from Arkansas!! In a boot box, so you know it's authentic. But what's this? I'm sensing a theme here...

I debated for quite awhile over whether the "cereal" killing was an intentional pun on the death of gluten in my house, or just a classic Zippy spelling. Still not sure. But nonetheless, I examined the first piece of evidence in this unsolved murder...

Multiple edged weapons indeed! A set of Paula Deen kitchen knives with lovely wooden handles. Thank you very much, zippy!! But wait, there's more evidence in my custody...

Bloody rags--and not just rags, but cock rags! Lovely. And after I'm done cleaning up the blood from my vicious crime, just in case I nicked a finger or two... :) An awesome gift in a very entertaining layout. Thanks again, zip! Merry Christmas!

Believe it or Not , i actualy looked up the spelling to get it right ( Anti gluten thus Cereal killer, see ) Glad you liked the goody's , i had fun putting the whole thing togather . Merry Xmas |

You're lucky I wasn't your Santa, LJ, or you would have gotten this, assuming I could have found two bottles.

With some prompting from the Secret Santa Administrator I HAD to go to the mailbox. It was packed with bills, junk mail and one lovely box of goodies....
A beautiful card, some fun bracelets and erasers, an eagles helmet, a gorilla ornament and three, yes three pounds of HASH! Woo Hoo! Ok it was better than hash - its homemade fudge! Mmm nom nom nom - no I'm not sharing any of it - Its mine all mine! Thank you so much Secret Santa! |
Sorry about the pic quality - best I could do was my cell phone.
|
J&J. Glad you kinda liked it.
@ Jim. Was looking around for the Gold Coin rubber that every teen my age carried around till worn out. Guess that is a thing of past? |
ne'ermind

I was going to wait for x-mas but of course I had to open the box just to make sure :right: It looks so beautiful! :D
|
Ooh, Classic - looks like a good haul :)
(I guess you provide the hash for the consumption of fudge thereafter?) 'Vana! I think you should have warned us that you are A Person With Self Control! I have opened everything I've received through the post as yet - I have been very lucky this year. And no doubt I'll do the same when my Secret Santa gift arrives too. It's just such a delicious experience. |

Since I am probably on the naughty list now for opening this, I feared there were perishables!!! I had to open it immediately! ;)
What a perfect assortment of gifts from my wonderful Secret Santa. I can bathe, lotion up and get ready for the sausage [to eat, dirty minds :eyebrow:] and then have a little candy dessert! Thank you so much Secret Santa! Happy Holidays! |
No No No self control! ;)

Damn, here I am all titillated and I have to go to work. :(

And today it was my turn for a SECRET SANTA parcel ...
I'm afraid I read the box, carefully, so I know it came from the LJ/Jinx household. Goodness knows what the postage cost was! I couldn't resist opening it ... and rifling the contents ... alien food! Strange things to try!! Two types of pancake mix, maple syrup (yum!), harvest soup mix, a bag of nonpareils, the "cracker" contained some BACON salad dressing (:eek:), a T shirt ... I tried to resist the little festive packages but couldn't! They contained personalised thingies, a notepad, a Pennsylvania numberplate and a little flashing tag (solar powered!) ... all with my name on. A truly marvellous haul - thanks a lot, guys!!! I'm looking forward to trying it all! |
No, wait, we really were your secret santa! Merry Xmas limey!
|
Oh crikey! This is so confusing! Anyways, thank you all very much!!!
|
Cherry Hill Nissan!!!
|
. . .The friendly Nissan GIANT!
Where is MY shirt Jim? I'd definitely wear one. |
