    I got my SS gift this morning from S Claus in Canada!
    I've not opened it yet, trying to decide if to leave it until Christmas, but thank you to whomever you are.

    (My SS will know istantly who there SS is as the Post Office made me put my name on the packet refusing to let it be santa!)

    I know I'm late, but I'm going run to the post office tomorrow and express it across the pond! I was hoping I'd find something fun to add to the package on my business trip to Amsterdam, but no such luck :cry:
    Those blasted post offices over here open when I'm already at work and close before I get back. Maybe I should get a job at a state-run 'business' too....

    I'm pretty sure mine hasn't arrived yet because puppies have to be 8 weeks old before you take them away from their mother.

    Either that, or it's taken longer than SS anticipated for them to swap out the wheel covers for the Porshce for the really fancy ones.

    I'm happily anticipating.

    My outgoing SS gift is complete. It is, like me, eclectic. (Others may say "odd" or "unusual.") Definitely not boring. Now, I have to find a post office close by work so I can mail it tomorrow.

    ;)

    They reckoned that the country receiving the gift could be pretty funny about parcels, everything had to be itemised on the CN22 as well :cry:

    The only reason I would accept a present is because I know someone wants me to open it...
