A big thank you for my elf for Mr. Coriander's bonus Starbuck's card. We both really appreciate it. He has decided he will reveal her identity on gift opening day. I have the most generous elf, who has sent me many boxes and amused my other half greatly with the multiple boxes to inspect and documents to classify. I think he has enjoyed it nearly as much as I, no doubt in part as he's relishing the rare event of knowing something that I want to know but don't. And we are both very appreciative of her generosity- since he did say she's a she.I'd like to nominate my elf as best TOC Secret Santa Elf ever. |

Hey, Spice Girl, not sure if we're going to do a Best Ever category. Maybe Best of 2008? Edited by Reynard Ridge, Dec 15 2008, 01:26 AM.

To my wonderful Secret Santa, I posted this a few days ago on your special message to me, but I don't think you saw it, so I'm trying here too, and maybe even a private message, just to make sure you get it: You must think me some sort of ungrateful wretch! I haven't been here in a week or so, up to my (long) ears in work, cows, and a shortage of time. Feeling more than slightly guilty that I've deprived you of all the fun in being a Secret Santa by asking for something so easy to do. And you gave me exactly what I wanted. As a matter of fact, Mark Meyers from Peaceful Valley was here for several days and told me he'd received your check (but I told him he was not to tell me who you are). My humble apologies along with my deepest thanks to you, Secret Santa! You are the best! This is for you! T’was the night before Christmas, and all ‘cross the land, The donkeys weren’t stirring, sound asleep in the sand; The stockings were hung by the hay ring with care, In hopes that Mark Meyers soon would be there; The foal was nestled all snug near its mom, Her breath whispered softly, “Be still, all is calm.” When out in the desert there arose such a clatter, The foal leaped right up to see what was the matter. His mother, she struggled to get to her feet Still weary from living with so little to eat. When, what to their wondering eyes should appear, But a hay-laden cart drawn by eight sturdy longears. With a tall bearded driver, alone in the dark, They knew by his step, it had to be Mark! Much slower than reindeer, his donkeys they came, He whistled and whispered, and called them by name; Now, Muddy! Now, Tempest! Now, Liebchen and Dicey! On, Josie! On, Merlin! On, Rambo and Annie! To the top of the run-in! To the top of the stall! Now mosey on over, some ass we must haul! As tumbleweeds that before a dust storm must fly And blow in the desert, so hot and so dry, On up to the barn top the donkeys they flew, With a cart full of hay -- and dewormers too! And ‘midst all the braying, the foal heard on the roof, The clipping and clopping of each donkey’s hoof. He pricked up his ears and was turning around And looked toward the loft where Mark could be found. Mark’s clothes were all tattered, from cactus and sand, His eyes ever gentle, as he lowered his hand, To the foal and its mother, so softly he said, “Have no fear, you are safe, no more tears shall you shed.” “I’ve been out in the desert, saving donks ‘cross the land, It’s a difficult task, but I’ve taken a stand.” “There are donkeys a’plenty, so many in need, We’ll save all the donkeys, by word and by deed. Mark filled all the stockings with dewormers and treats, And promised the donkeys there’d be plenty to eat. With help from good people who do what they can, Peaceful Valley exists; it’s the work of this man! With a twist of his head and a wink of his eye, He sprang to his cart, longears ready to fly. Away they all moseyed like the donkeys they are, Toward Peaceful Valley by the light of a star. But I heard him exclaim as they ambled out of sight, Happy Christmas, my donkeys, and to all a good night! |

I'm your Secret Santa! I was wondering what happened to you. I was beginning to get worried. I thought something might have happened to you. I still have a little gift for you, but somehow it hasn't gotten mailed yet. I'm a slacker on the mailing thing, so I was glad I could use Pay Pal for your gift to the donkeys. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas. Give all the long ears a kiss for me. In fact, kiss them on their long ears for me. |

AHA, Witchy! I would never have guessed! How clever of RR to match the person with the longest ears to the person with such very short (but incredibly cute) ears. Many thanks to you, from all of the donks at Peaceful Valley and its branches. |

Pssst SMS..... Rumor around the barn is the Big Guy is heading east with something in tow. I heard it from Ms. Mini, who heard it from Spurs the QH, who heard it from Omar the Arab, who heard it from Gunther the WB, who heard it Sprinter the TB, who heard it from Precious the pony, who got it first hoof from Kitty the barn cat. So it must be true!! |
