2019 Secret Santa Exchange Festival of Fossils

All this stuff about naughty and nice is just a myth (although snolly did get sticks and pine cones in his stocking one year). The proof - snolly received a package this PM that he believes is from a Secret Santa. So, if snolly can get a gift, even the ultra-naughty are eligible! That is, unless the shipping box contains sticks and pine cones?!?!?

Unless it's from the UK in which case it would be ashes and orange peel.

Mmm, ashes and orange peel in a bowl with a bit of fermented Yak milk and a drizzle of pine pitch just sounds so delicious!  :drool:

Unfortunately, schoolwork has gotten in my way and I have not gotten the opportunity to ship my package out yet. I'm aiming to get it shipped out this week! ;)

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

The burning question on each Forum denizen's mind - "Did snolly possess the strength of character, the abject maturity, the worldly sophistication, to avoid opening his Secret Santa gift before Christmas?" 

 

Hmmmm...well...strong packing box with a securely taped opening...the snollywife not present to administer baleful glare...impulse control of a toddler...suffice to say...

Yes. 

Anyway, I think it's more rebellious and unusual to actually be on the Good List. 

The naughty list seems rather de rigueur and mundane.;)

You and I are not comforting and staying true to our convictions. My gift is unopened and will be until Christmas Day. :SlapHands:

Hmmmm. 

There's a thought. 

Perhaps Tidgy should be given custody of the parcel.

Us naughty listers have convictions too (at least until our records are expunged).

Yours went out the same day, it should be to you before the week is over.
