My mom got me a purse that I absolutely hate. She said it was "unique" so she KNEW I would just go crazy for it, and she's right, it is definitely driving me crazy. But it's my mom, so I have to wear it.I love the inside of it (very roomy, lots of compartments) rather than the outside.
Oh, and Petra, I've been meaning to ask you - Where do the letters to Santa go???
Everybody knows they go to the North Pole.
I just bought some stuff today with Christmas money!I bought The Hunger Games, some cool sharpie pens, oh, and 100pk of Blank CDs for 14 dollars at Office Depot, so if you need some, holla
So when my mom gives me the rest of my Christmas money on Friday, I'm totally ordering this:

England has the best pasties.
I couldn't find English, but these here look Irish...[image error]
If you untie the bow tie do they fall off?
They're pasties. Aren't they held on with paste? :)

Or maybe this is a different story. I remember a newspaper article about it and an item on Gawker titled "Santa is a gay couple living in Chelsea":

Anyway, it was a nice story. I don't think anyone ever figured out why the letters ended up there, though.

But some people feel like they want to give me something more personal and enclose a gift card, a scarf, gloves, hand warmers, bags of coffee, way too many boxes of candy. Some people obviously regift me, but I just smile and write a little thank you note, because I appreciate the fact that they thought of me at all. This year I received two cards that were made on the computer and personalized to me and my particular relationship with that customer. Those are nice. Also, I LOVE my surrogate dogs and several of them left me gifts of dog treats since I carry treats for my four legged friends. very sweet. some of my customers even have my cell number in case they need anything. :)

Oh, and Petra, I've been meaning to ask you - Where do the letters to Santa go??? they go to the dead letter office and eventually are shredded. However, if I get one from a sweet babe, I take it back to the office and postmark it for the parent and then return it to them undercover. It is kind of dorky, I know. But, as a parent, it is a sweet memento to have.

"Dan should take a lesson from you. He's terrified of Bo, and Bo hates him because of that. We've had to put the mailbox outside the fence. Bo has a thing in general about people bringing things to the house. I think some dogs are Herders, and he's a Hoarder, or an anti-Hoarder, to precise.
"Go away, UPS! We don't need what you're bringing!" If someone leaves a package and he finds it before I do, he'll attack it. He doesn't chew anything else, but if someone leaves a package, it usually gets a bite or two.
Bo is afraid you've ordered him some crummy diet dog chow.

My wife got this for me and I'm not sure why, but it's not bad so far.
I never caught one episode of "McGyver" during its original run, but based on Disc 1 alone, apparently there's not much you can't do - up to and including splitting atoms - with a Swiss army knife and a roll of duct tape.

Ms. Petra, how do your customers give you gifts? I ask because I've never left my mailman (Mailman Dan) anything since I don't know how. Is that terrible? Should I give seven years' worth of presents? How does he know it's for him?
