    Sad Emo, you got a goat? Do you have a farm or something? Is it a milk goat? How the hell do you giftwrap a goat?

    I did my first Secret Santa all wrong. Waited too long to send it, didn't wrap it first, and it's not exactly what I wanted to send but I ran out of time because what I really wanted to find is rare and I just couldn't! I won't know if he got it unless he posts here either.


    OH! Looks like he posted on the page prior! Yay!


    St. Ann, were YOU my Secret Santa? Somehow I suspect you were, based on your card and what you posted here! THANK YOU!! I started a thread earlier that got buried, so I'll say it again, I LOVE IT!!!!!

    No animals were harmed during this SS session You'll be relieved to hear that the live one is on its way to a recipient in Africa. I got a small model goat to keep!

    Halcyon,

    Yes, I'm your SS. I thought I put "To Halcyon from StAnn" on the gift tag. Apparently, I didn't, but I've been a bit distracted lately! The holidays really bring out my ADD side!

    Yes, I love that CD, and thought I'd never find another copy of it. I'm very glad that you like it.

    Happy New Year, too!

    Sad Emo, is your goat to Africa sort of like Heifer International? I used to make a donation every year to Heifer International to buy heifers for families in Africa. I like "practical" gifts like that.

    I haven't heard of that one but yes, it sounds the same. My SS, Dagney sent the charity a donation and the charity will arrange the livestock for Africa and has sent me a letter and model goat. You can send allsorts these days - beehives, goats, chickens, camels etc. as well as things like equipment to improve/set up water supplies and sanitation.

    Like you, I agree that practical gifts are great - especially if it helps to get a needy family or community set up for life. Its like the saying goes - give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, give him a rod and you feed him for life

    Troubled Mind,

    Please pm me your home address and I will send you a gift

    I think your return address was on the box your gift came in but is now has probably been taken to the burn pile.

    I want to do that, please.
