Today I got a totally unexpected package in the mail. It was from the Cellar Secret Santa in Houston! Hmmm... Now who could that be? I have my suspicions. Inside the package was a darling little Scottie dog clock / scotch tape dispensor. Its the cutest thing. I wish I had a camera, so I could include a pic. I am truely surprised because I wasn't going to do the secret Santa thing this year.

Thank you very much cellar Santa in Houston for a cute and clever gift! Merry Christmas!

If we could only see the return address a little clearer . . .

I am not too concerned really.
Unless someone was specifically looking for me under this name it's not a problem; as for attracting potential unwanted attention: my name and address is a matter of public record anyway. My only concern would be someone connecting my rl persona with my Cellar id;P And the likelihood of anyone over here coming seeking me in the Cellar is not high

But someone seeing your picture, you know which one, might be interested in your address.

Looks like I'm way behind here, because I don't open my gifts until Xmas! My parents trained me too well.

I got delicious minty brownies...which I got a hint about ahead of time, and are now long gone. And...sparkly sweet pea body lotion, one of the few scents I love (how did SS know?). Plus...comfy soft pink gloves and matching scarf.

If my camera was working, maybe I'd take a pic wearing only my gifts.

(well alright, maybe not)

Oh, and because I was also way behind with my Secret Santa-ing, someone here is going to get an after-the-holidays gift.

Secret Santa Strikes Twice!

Yesterday evening when I got home (the postman must be keeping strange hours), I discovered a package in my mailbox. What was this? Why it was a parcel from Secret Santa in Phila, PA. Could this be Wolf? I wish I had a camera so I could show you all my loot! I got a Ferrara candy bar, a pretty green and pink covered blank journal, a cute emory board, and two cat shaped objects which are for cuticle care, I think?

Thank you so much Secret Santa in Philly(/Wolf?)!

Clodfobble, I know it seems like I'm not fulfilling my promise. :p How about I post up a youtube of me playing something else, and I'll get to one of the songs from the songbook before the next Christmas? Unfortunately, I didn't show enough of my uke in this video.

So . . . has everyone guessed who their Santas are? Huh? LOL

I don't think my recipient cares who sent it
