    i was worried that mine would be late as well...but 30 minutes before leaving work on Christmas Eve, the front desk called to tell me I had a package. (i have everything delivered to work). woo hoo!!!! customs seems to have opened it, so hopefully everything is there.

    thank you Tommy Guitar!!!

    inside was an Irish 2011 calendar, a can of Guinness, a can of Murphy's, a can of tangerine soda, a cadbury candy bar, and some orange hard candies with chocolate filling.

    this is my favorite part of christmas- exchanging gifts with people from every corner of the globe.

    merry christmas every one!

  • Finally a chance to say Thanks for all the wicked stuff I got.

    A Big HUGE thanks to JZP for my awesome Christmas gift. First time ever the gift has made it until Christmas morning, which is not a testament to my will power/self control but due to the fact that mostly it was hidden from me! :)

    If I ever figure out how to post pictures, I'll do so, for now, a description.....

    Two awesome beers from JZP's city, homemade tea (which I can't wait to try), homemade bug spray, a PJ bouncy ball (which is so awesome), PJ stickers, a mixed cd of PJ tunes and a Toblerone!!

    So very awesome! All of it! Thanks so much!

    Again, another great year of giving and receiving! Thanks Helen for organizing!

    OK,
    After, again, bugging unlostdogs and several posts here expressing my dismay of not receiving a SS gift, I really thought I wasn't getting anything. The expression of gratitude that Black Diamond showed after receiving my gift was plenty for me. We went out to lunch and do some last minute shopping. When we got back home hustling and bustling my son said "Dad there's a tube on the porch...I think its yours" Truly, like a child at his first Christmas My eyes got wide, WHAT?? WHERE?? REALLY?? LET ME SEE!!!! YEAH!!!

    I got it and on Christmas Eve no less!! And I feel I should apologize to RTW for having little faith. I am sorry. I thank you so very much for everything.

    My first Ames Bros Poster from the 2006 Toronto show, The set of PEARL JAM Magnets and pins, which are already on my guitar gig bag :D , The bottle of Maple Syrup and Maple syrup spread, quilted coasters and I think beer cozies, and, AND, A BOTTLE OF Tankhouse Ale from the Mill Street Brewery!!
    THANK YOU ! THANK YOU ! THANK YOU!

    Once I figure out how to post pics on to a thread here I will post them But, RTW/JODY Thank you so much, Thank you for making my day and my Christmas so much Brighter!!

    You're welcome. So glad it got there and so glad you like it. The "forgotten item" will be shipped out to you as soon as the post office re-opens.
    Hope your Christmas was awesome!
    Oh, and the beer cozies are actually supposed to be for hot drinks. You know like the cardboard sleeve you get at Starbucks to keep your hand from burning from the super hot drink?? But a cozie for a beer would also be perfectly acceptable! :)

    Wow! I love everything! My fav of course is the PJ coffee mug! It is now my daily smile....how did you know I love my morning coffee? And, what better way to start the day than with PJ? But, along with the mug, is coffee, and Bailey's Irish Cream! What a way to either start or finish the day....Also, a very cool bookmark, which lets me know my SS read my likes! It's a very cool peace sign too! But there's more! Cinnamon Hot Chocolate! Plus, a very cool cd of Sons on Sylvia and a very sweet note. I had to Google them and you're spot on, I really like them a lot! Also, loved your wife's license card, mine is Leash! Will try to post pics, our battery is dead at the moment, but thanks soooo much! :)
    I don't know who you are but please pm me. I'd love to meet you or thank you! :)

    Hey Wolfbear I am glad you liked your gift, putting it together for you was fun but I also admit, Pandora, my lovely wife helped me get it together.
    I hope your holiday season is awesome and that Santa filled your stocking with all your dreams.
    Last night our wish came true for a White Christmas in Atlanta.
    Peace on Earth to all

    That what you fear the most could meet you halfway
  • ok so my SS gift was sooo awesome!!! I don't know how to explain myself in this area, but I am very eclectic, and love to own things that came from somewhere I've never been! My SS was Tinkerbell, who is from NZ. So she sent me a magnet of a traditional woven basket, a Christams decoration that I just LOVE!! Cause the Pukeko happens to be one of my favorite species of bird because they're sooo unique and have such ememnse character. ( Steve Irwin had one that ran free at his zoo in AU, not sure if it's still alive since the show is no longer..but let's just say many episodes turned out VERY interestingly cause of that bird!) I got a NZ calendar, which is gorgeous!! I'm jealous aas hell that you get those views, and I just get to look at flat assed old Kansas, LOL. But the coolest thing was... an album that her friend had made.It is absolutely gorgeous, and such talent!! I was extremely happy, and the Pukeko will go on my tree every year now, and everytime I go to get a beer out of my fridge, I'll see a little piece of NZ staring back at me, to remind I need to go see it. Thank you Wendy I now have treasures from NZ and that is the best part. Maybe I'll get even luckier and be able to write down some PJ concert dates in my lovely new calendar!!! :D:D:D:D
  • Awww... just wanna say thank you all who participated... I've had so much fun following this thread and it's more than made up for me not taking part. I also want to thank those of you who sent me cards :) they were much appreciated and brightened up our hall!

    Hope you all had a brilliant brilliant christmas and got everything you wanted. Those of you who have yet to receive your SS gift, I'm sure it's on its way and it's in the middle of a great little adventure at the mo! Hang in there!

    Had I not found this love with you

    Thanks again! Woke up excited to use my new mug! :lol:
    We had a wonderful day though not a white one like you. I'm sure we'll get some this winter. :)
    Off to Canada to have another PJ Christmas with friends on Tuesday! Love this group!
    Hope to meet you both at a show or shows in 2011!

    I agree. Helen works so hard - tell us what you'd like, Helen. Oranges from LA?

    (Coach Chris - still waiting on your black socks... I'm sure the 10C will be delivering them any day now.)

    I'll be away now until after the New Year so, if my parcel comes in between, I won't be able to let you guys know until the 23rd!

    I do have a house/cat sitter but she won't know if it's Secret Santa or not!

    Something to look forward to in the new year :mrgreen:
