    Huh, so I've had this postal card that stated signature required since monday. Made plans to drive to the post office after work to get the package associated with this card. :clap: As it turned out , I'm getting off work 2 1/2 hours AFTER :twisted: my scheduled time to clock out. :problem: :problem: :think: :think: :think: So I changed my plan.
    Wait in line on my lunch hour(in the midst of a challenging day!!!) And wait and wait :x , finally get to the counter. Hand the guy the card and he goes to the back. I can see him poking around , checking boxes , searching for my name and address on the package, then he goes out of eyesight. When he comes back to the counter he's carrying a poster mailing tube!!! All the way from Edmonton,Alberta, Canada!!

    I'm still waiting, but that's ok.. I'm just happy that I had enough money to do this, this year.I've wanted to do this for a few years now. So it's made my year just to get to participate, and I'll be happy with my gift whenever it decides to get here. I'm beginning to think it may have taken a pit stop somewhere...lol :-) I love to see all the gifts.. and when mine gets here, I promise, to learn to upload the photos to show you all..;-)

    I think with customs getting more and more paranoid every year and the bad weather in parts of the world, a lot of Santas will be delayed this year. I haven't received anything yet and the gift I sent out has not been delivered either, so I have more time to hope my SS likes their gift and to look forward to getting mail smiley60.gif

    Just to let me SS sender know that I head off today until after the New Year ... so won't be here to receive the package.

    The postman still hasn't been today so there is still one last chance for me to receive it before x-mas :mrgreen: :P

    Thank you SS!
    Opened my gifts last night. A cool peace bracelet (pretty pretty!) and a wall hanging for my apartment! :)
    Along with my taffy, chocolate and post cards I thank Shortgirl00 for going along with my hints and giving gifts from her hometown. Just so you know, I'm a Devils fan too, so it was fate!

    Merry Christmas to all!!

    Thank you so much Rafie for the wonderful presents! :D

    I will be sure to enjoy those beers and snacks from Isreal over the holiday weekend while listening to the PJ CD and Isreali music, which is quite good just wish I could understand the words :lol:

    Happy Holidays Rafie!
    Wish you the best for 2011 :D

    So glad it finally arrived! And in time for the holidays too!! It was stuck in customs for nearly 2 weeks after it arrived in Canada. Hope they kept the wrapping paper in tact...

    Enjoy the snacks :mrgreen:

    Sonja, my gift arrived today! What a wonderful surprise!

    Here's what I saw when I opened the box:

    DSC06904.jpg

    A beautiful tin tied with ribbon.
    When I opened it, there were all kinds of wonderful things:

    DSC06906.jpg

    A nifty tote bag from Vienna
    Chocolates that are DIVINE. They are so good I don't even have the words to describe them.
    A beautiful frosted glass Christmas ornament. I apologize for this pic, my photography skills are not the best:

    DSC06912.jpg

    I love everything about my pressies, even the tin! Sonja, you had no way of knowing that I have a collection of Christmas tins. The tote bag will be great for my job. My co-workers will think I've been to Vienna! :lol:8-) The chocolates are SO good. I'm going to have to ration them so that I can enjoy them for as long as possible. Yum!

    Sonja, vielen Dank und frohe Weihnachten!

    I got a lovely grey package from Feilding NZ today!!! AND I was having such a crazy day, such a horrible "leave me alone day" I hate having to go to work on days like that..But when I finally survived the 30 minute commute home, through what looks to be turning into an ice storm, I see it sticking out, ever so slightly,from my ice-glittered mailbox..And suddenly, my frown was crushed, as I ran out of my van to see if it was "IT". So happy it got here, and RIGHT on time..LMAO Sometimes, being one month, one day late, is just perfect timing! I love that it was mailed ( I'm assuming; according to the sticker from NZ post ) on Nov.22, and just got here to me today!!Your postal service must be worse than ours!! Any how It's here Wendy, there's no username on it, so..you know which Wendy you are.LOL NOW, hopefully I don't get stranded at the hotel over-night tomorrow night, so I can be home to open it Christmas morning!! And again I will learn to upload pics..OK, now off the the Doggie Thread with me!!

    Yay, it reached you before Christmas - the nativity ornament wouldn't have been of much use later ;) I'm really glad you like it, hope you have great holidays and enjoy the chocolates! Frohe Weihnachten! smiley61.gif
