My Sonta chose to remain anonymous, but I think I may know who it is. Thank you so much, you!



1. Legion of Undead Zombie Finger Puppets.

2. CHOCOLATE! Theo Candy Bars (Brandi & I ate half of the Curry & Chocolate bar...FANTASTIC.)

3. Package. "It's the Alabammy Comet!"

4. Cowgirl Drink Coasters.

5. "What's that, Mike?" shirt. My Sonta said they had received this last year but thought "only a quality caller should wear it" so thanks to who ever gave it to them.

Not pictured: A book about dirt called "DIRT" (which Sonta assures me "isn't boring"), a mix MP3 CD, WFMU sticker and nice card.

BONUS POINTS: Was packed in a BABY GAP Box with a red elephant on it (Roll Tide!)

my package is going out today, I was waiting for a few things to finish off the treats...so apologies in advance to my Santee.
Can I use the "F-word", Tom?

Well, as expected, I cracked and opened my giftbox before Christmas. Here it is:



1. This is what I've been staring at for the past two days

2. To quote Jason, CHOCOLATE! Seven bags (make that six now) of Pretzel M&Ms (not available in the UK). Very tasty they are too.

3. Stickers and a postcard. The postcard has a lovely note from my Sonta (who I don't know if they want to remain anonymous or not so I won't name) and the Wacky Packages cards are fantastic! I haven't opened the Space Jam stickers yet, I can't decide whether I want to break the seal or not.

4. A truth-telling button/badge which is destined for my new camera bag when I get around to buying it.

Thanks so much Sonta!

And THAT'S why we in America had our Revolution: the right to have pretzels in our M&Ms.

I'm glad everyone is having a good time with this so far. Happy Christmas!
Here's some Boney M for you. Enjoy the humming.

I'll post pictures later, but I got an awesome TedLeoRX poster, some stickers (my cats hate them) and an earwolf gift certificate.

Also, I'm a terrible Santa, but I'll contact my secret santee to let her know that the gift is in the mail.

Thank you so much to Pregnant Pause for my AMAZING present. I received it Christmas Eve morning (thank you for delivering on a Saturday, Canada Post), and was so thrilled.



The theme of my present was FOT Book Club Fun Pack. I am especially excited to finally own Daddy's Boy after wanting it for a long time.



A letter and great Holiday mix CD, which has been in heavy rotation around here.

And, maybe most exciting for this Canadian, from a REAL WAWA...



Note that both boxes are open. One is empty. I enjoyed nem kakes in a big way. Thank you so much, Sonta!!

My Secret Santee's stuff was shipped out today. Should make it by Friday, I hope.

My package went out, and I received a package in Milwuakee about a week ago.  Pretty sure it's from my secret santee and I will post the details once i'm home.  Thanks all, I can't wait!
Sounds like someone was working as a conduit for nature's natural vengeance.  Just like Jesus.  And some of the others.

I just received my awesome gift from the awesome Martin in Sweden! I got several packages of weird Swedish candy (this will be fun because I'm not 100% sure what I'll be eating), a funny book (it says it's a kittenpants anthology, and I hope I'm not revealing a gigantic hole in my comedy knowledge when I say that I've never heard of this, but I do look forward to reading), and best of all, a DVD of Martin's film Filmen Jag Inte Pratar Om Langre, which I have wanted to see ever since he first started posting about it on the FOT board!

Thanks for the great gift Martin, especially since I know there was added expense due to overseas postage. I really appreciate the gift and I look forward to experiencing all of it.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Alright! Glad you liked it! Keep me posted re: what you think of the candy. Bilar and Dumle should be fine for anyone, but the Djungelvrål and the Salmiakki chocolate bar might be challenging if you don't like salt licorice.

But who doesn't! We are still savoring ours; we have about 95% of it still.

I tweeted yesterday asking for updates re: mailing/receiving. Please let me know if you think there is an issue.

Hooray! No need for anonymity--I'm that Sonta! I'm glad you like the package and I hope the M&Ms are delicious! They're my second-favorite M&M varietal after Peanut. :D
