Clap! Friday's Official Secret Santa Game Thread

Said Santa Worm to all of the elves,
Do you know what I know?
Who gave you the gifts, little elves?
Do you know what I know?
It's time, it's time to guess and to reveal
who your Santa was (for real)!


Well, the final day of our game is here!
I must say that it's been so much fun being SantaWorm this week. I'm delighted with all of the really creative and thoughtful gifts you found for each other! Thank you all for making this such a treat for me!!!
Some of you sent Friday gifts through me - they've been delivered already. If you got one already, post it here.
Everyone should make their final guess as to who their santa is. Once your guess is posted, your Santa can deliver the last gift his/her self (here in this post) and thereby reveal his/her identity.

Wishing everyone at EA a happy holidays, and hoping that 2003 is a year of peace, health and real happiness for all of you!!!

SantaWorm !santa

Okay, here's my guess (for pretty much no apparent reason because I'm totally fishing): jsgoddess

I believe my final guess will be MJ. I will post my gift later. I was guessing Drmomentum all the way up until my last gift. But now I am pretty sure it's MJ.

One day I'll learn how to read instructions.

My guess? susanwhipple.

And that's my final answer.

My original guess was MJ. Then it shifted to Lynnzop.

Now it's back to MJ.

That's who I'm going with. MJ is my Secret Santa. I think.

So we reveal ourselves in this thread, right? Once our giftee has made their guess?

So I can do this now? Really?

Ok, here I go.

MJ, (I can't believe you thought I was Redlass! )

This time lunch is on me.

I'm sending you to Osteria al Doge.

See the railing up at the top center of the picture? That is where the "seat of the Pope" is. You can look down on the other diners and the street below.

A special restaurant, and a special seat, for a special lady.

That's my gift to you.

Your Secret Santa,

Margaret

My giftee guessed already. And she guessed right. And I tried so hard not to give it away. Do you know how hard it was not to use my favorite just in case you noticed?

So here you go Sara... Something else besides a book to snuggle up with. Who says you can't get the same thing from Santa that you got as a birthday gift? I get books every year don't I?







enjoy

Crap. I forgot to guess. Won't get my last present if I don't guess.

I have no ideas. We played this at work and had our party yesterday. I was completely clueless there, too.

I'm going to stick with my earlier guess of jsgodess.

Here is Fridays gift and final hint. And yes! It's MJ. It took the final day for me to guess right.

Quote:
Well you've been guessing almost all week,
but didn't find the name you seek.
The shortbread's from the British Isle,
and my ancestors lived in Scotland a while.
I enjoy an occasional video game,
with Whatword! being my claim to fame.
'Twas bad I goofed in attaching pics
Since I'm a Director of MIS.
Cointreau goes with beef or pork
And goes in Cosmos - tres New York.
A New York link for songs of wrens -
I thought for sure you'd guess me then.
Today's gift looks scary, but please don't panic
It's designed to help you make things ceramic:



You've got one more chance for a right guess
But if you're wrong, please don't stress -
'Cause even if you don't guess my name
I'll wish you Merry Christmas just the same!

from your secret !santa
This has been such fun and look forward to next year's secret Santa. So much fun!

Aud

Hey Thinkerlady - I'm not sure, but I think that you just guessed me. I didn't participate in the game - I just delivered all of the goodies, so - I'll let you have another guess before someone reveals all! I liked your worms, too, though!

MARGARET!!!! OMG, how funny. I did have a brief glimmer of suspicion this morning, but I hadn't had my coffee yet when I guessed. Thank you for the wonderful presents! and where in the WORLD did you find a dress made of Mary Jane wrappers?!

I'm guessing that my secret Santa was hadassahchana. Between the twisted Nurse humor and the comfy $400 pillow - made in Canada - I think I've got that right.

Or maybe not.

OK - I am at work, so my links are sparse today until I get home. My secret Santa sent me a Thursday gift of a Christmas song CD by Phoenix - a group named after me - how cool.

Today? a gorgeous statue of lovers embracing. Even cooler.

I have literally NO CLUE who it is. I thought maybe Slick, for texas or jenninca, but I don't think they are playing! I'll try another guess later.

Aha! You've not yet gotten everything!

Until now.


If you don't care for everything, feel free to exchange it for one of these.

Love,

Hint: You'll notice your everything was sliced with a knife
A bagel. A Judith Lieber bag. A stay at the Edna St. Vincent Millay mansion. A Christine Lavin song. A (one-eyed) monocle.

Someone knows me pretty well. Hmmmm.....

Just a shot in the dark here, but I'll guess DrMomentum.

Hey Sis,
I won't comment on your guess work, but as far as your gift alternatives - I'd keep the everything bagel. The other might give you a hairball!
