Here it is...the 15th. How quickly it came and thank goodness because I don't know about all the other secret santas out there but I have been so excited to share what I have received and to give a proper thank you...not only to my Secret Santa but to everyone who participated in spreading the Persephone cheer. You all have been wonderful and I no longer wish you a grey Christmas but a very merry one as well as many blessings in the new year.Here are all the Secret Santas:
Ana @ things mean a lot
Astrid (Mrs. B) @ The Literary Stew
Claire @ kiss a cloud
Claire @ Paperback Reader
Danielle @ Leaning Toward the Sun
Frances @ Nonsuch Book
Jodie @ Book Gazing

Meredith @ dolce bellezza
Miranda @ skirmishofwit
Nadia @ A Bookish Way of Life
Nat @ In Spring it is the Dawn
Sarah @ what we have here is a failure to communicate
Simon @ Stuck In A Book
Sophie @ An Embarrassment of Frivolities

Thank you stacy for organising such a wonderful gift exchange! I love my Secret Santa present. We'll definitely have to do this again next year!
Hi Stacy - thank you so much for organising this - I have really enjoyed being a part of it. Here is the link to my post: http://bookbath.blogspot.com/2009/12/persephone-secret-santa.html
Thanks so much for organising this, Stacy! My most recent post is about it...
My post is up at http://www.thingsmeanalot.com/2009/12/persephone-under-my-tree.html
Thank you again! I can't wait to read everyone's posts when I get home from work :)
Thank you so much for hosting this, Stacy! I have had a wonderful time and looking forward to my grey Christmas.
Wonderful! Very envious of all of the Persephone giving.
Sounds like a lot of fun and great reading involved! Merry Christmas
Thank you so much for hosting this; I had a lovely time reading the posts that I could find, and getting vicarious pleasure from the recipient's joy. It is also so nice to be acquainted with my gift giver, Marie from Boston Bibliophile. I wouldn't have known her had you not put us together. Perhaps we can do this again next year? Please? :)
Stacy you're the best! Thanks for coming up with this. Such fun. Here's my post about it:

I vote for doing it again next year too! :)
I was so jealous of everyone participating in this challenge. I so want to take part if it's done again next year :-)

Thank you SO MUCH for doing this- I had such a blast giving and receiving. Will definitely sign up if we do it again next year! :-)
I'm so irritated with myself for missing the sign-up for this wonderful Secret Santa gift exchange. If it happens again next year you can be sure I won't miss it!
Enjoy your Persephone and the goodies that came along with it! Have a very Happy Holiday!
I was so thrilled to find out you were my Secret Santa! As I say in my post, thank you so much!

StuckInABook - I truly enjoyed your post...complete with poem:)
Nymeth - I hope you enjoy reading all the posts. It has been fun to see all the titles chosen and how some have been the same.
Paperback Reader - Well it wouldn't have worked half as well without your great help. Merry Grey Christmas:)
verity - I am wondering if I should put a hold on reading mine...a little birdie told me something about something that may be coming up in the new year;)
Sharon - Merry Christmas to you:)
dolcebellezza - Yes...that perfectly describes it...vicarious pleasure from the joy of others...lots of smiling today:) Yes I do hope to do this again next year. It would be fun to see what other Persephones may have been read in 2010. That has definitely been a great part of the exchange...getting to know new-to-me bloggers.

Frances - I agree...gift exchanges are fun and I truly enjoyed organizing this one and now seeing all the titles that have been exchanged. Have a very happy holiday!
