FOT Not So Secret Santa.

[Sarah]

Me, too, finally (I was indisposed yesterday and so couldn't get to the post office).  And, Jason, sorry for blowing my cover, but my return address is a dead giveaway anyway.  How many FOT live in Lubec, after all?  If there's another, I think we'd have found each other by now.

[Laurie]

I'm sending it Friday.

Postscript: And I did. Enjoy, my little elf.

[Andy]

mine went out at like 11:30 Thursday night.  I love the 24 hour USPS centers.

I hope my little elf enjoys his or her Tom Waits Orphans box set!

1) My secret santa gift was personally delivered, which is either super cool or slightly creepy. Two hot rockin' rock magazines and a large welded fish. I find fish hilarious so it is a great gift.

2) I sent mine out today at long last.

[Jason]

Mine went out today, it was a lot harder shopping for a stranger than I imagined.

[Sarah]

I find fish hilarious

Really?  Why?

[Laurie]

I got my Secret Santa gift, which is very nicely wrapped and has ribbon and everything. I can't put it under the tree, as my little Sidney cat eats paper when he's frustrated. On Christmas day, he opens his own presents if it's a catnip toy. Soooo cute. Zowie also opens her own presents. Awww.

I didn't realise you had to put a return address on packages in the US whence the anonymity confusion.
This law severely hinders the Secret Santa industry, no wonder the American economy is in the shitter.

[Laurie]

Oooooh shit, I think I might have put my name on the packaging. Oops.

1) I'm not sure, but fish are funny. Somehow the presence of fish add 25% to the liklihood something is funny.

2) I forgot to put the cool Edward Gorey card in the envolope with my gift. To the recipient, so sorry.

Secret Santas are terrorists, you see.  Foreigner.

This reminds me to complain about how by 2009 I'm going to need a passport to go across the bridge to Campobello.

I got a present from my secret santa!

I got my present from my secret santa as well. I'm being a good little boy, though, and not making note of the return address, and I won't open it until Christmas morn. See Santa, I'm being good!

[Jason]

I think any notion of secrecy has gone out of the window.
I'm terrified that this won't work and someone will break the chain of FOT love.
