snolly50 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Once again the myth of the "naughty list" has been dispelled! snolly in spite of almost an entire year's worth of misbehavior and general mischievousness has once again received a handsome gift from a generous, anonymous donor. Surely, the age-old societal narrative holding sway requires revision. It is not the absence of untoward behavior that is rewarded by wonderful gifts. No, the gifts are the result of grace and the goodness in the giver. The true holiday miracle is not a person's worthiness. Rather it is the thoughtful, undeserved gift from the person who has discovered the truth. Selfless giving, true charity, is a blessing and a most precious gift to the giver. What wonders emerged from the box into snolly's rapacious hands? What treasures elicited an avaricious chortle? Check it out! Please note the careful catalog info accompanying the items. Well done, secret one! Teefs, everybody likes them! More teefs, yes! McRibs! tasty! Turtle parts, with one honkin' big one! Who doesn't appreciate a vert for their shelf? The fossils are truly appreciated. My thanks to the Secret Santa. However, beyond the fossils which can be held, there is something intangible, but infinitely more profound. This yearly exercise on the Forum serves as a noble example of (almost) blindly casting goodwill. In snolly's estimation, one of the few finer attributes/capabilities of Humankind. 7 1 Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
