2014 Secret Santa received thread

Yes!  A country name that does not start with the letter A, B, C, D, or E.  But the clue is from the Disney movie Lady and the Tramp:  "We are ____ if you please; we are ___  if you don't please."

So that's gotta be 'Siamese'.  Is that the kind of cat my SS has?  Or is s/he from Thailand?!  Or lives in Thailand?  Or likes Thai food or......   LOL   

Japan does not start with those letters.

[parsleysage]

You guys are hilarious! It's barely October and not time for Christmas yet, but now I feel like a slacker! Betsygee's SS is an overachiever, that's for sure!

Zanzibar isn't a country. It's a State of Tanzania. It has semi-autonomous status, but technically remains part of Tanzania.

 

[nebula]

Ah okay! ! And it is never too early to think about and discuss Secret Santa

 

[sivyaleah]

I try to ignore it until inspiration hits me!

 

[betsygee]

The package has already arrived from my SS! But I'm supposed to wait until after Thanksgiving to open it!!

That makes me wonder....could your SS be Canadian?  A Russian Canadian who likes blue?  Or are they just a sneaky one trying to pull something! 

And just think....I know all the match-ups!

You do, yes. What awesome powers you have!!

 

[betsygee]

Well, I obviously wasn't getting anywhere with the country names so my SS had to help me along with another clue!  When I get home from work, I'll post and enlist your help figuring it out!  

 

[betsygee]

Okay, here we are--SS helpfully sent me some currency from the mystery country.  S/he says the name of the currency starts with the same letter as the name of the country.  Looks like Russian roubles!  http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Soviet_Union-1961-Bill-5-Obverse.jpg
