This year's Secret Santa was a big challenge for me. Not so much because I wasn't sure what to get for my person. But about 3 weeks ago I became very sick with vertigo. I've never felt like this before and it's been awful! :crazy:
The worst part was that I couldn't drive a car. So I've been working from home and relying on other people to take me places, when I felt up to going out.
But I couldn't go shopping for my Secret Santa! Aagh! So much for all my brilliant ideas of what to get for them. I had to do everything online or by phone. I thought I would never get everything together. But my package is finally ready to ship and will go out tomorrow. It's such a hodgepodge of things, I hope my person likes it. :think: :shifty: :problem:
Well what a surprise I got today when I had to go to the post office to pick up a package!!!
It turns out that the previous post about my present arriving was not actually my SS but just a very very generous PJ fan sending me something :oops:
So I got my ACTUAL SS present today...... :shock: holy shit....complete and utter awesomeness encapsulated...
Thank you so much to giventolukinkp....your generosity absolutely stunned me....
I hope I dont forget anything...I got:
A bushleaguer 7' (which I dont have!!!!!!)
PJ stickers
PJ20 badges & sticker set
A chicago fridge magnet
a rudolph pez
Popping candy (which I loved as a kid)
A MASSIVE chocolate chip cookie
A cool light up rudolph nose
Some handmade chocolates
...and the piece de resistance....
a homemade 'Irish Al' mini xmas stocking!!!!
Kelly you were over and above in your generosity...thank you so much...I cannot put into words my gratitude so I just hope you know that you kicked my xmas spirit into overdrive!!

I'm so glad you liked it I freaked out when I saw your post from before, thinking I had somehow screwed up (since this was my first year doing this).
I'm really glad you don't have that 7 inch---I heard you were a vinyl fan from a few people here who assisted me. The rest was just a bunch of silliness, but I'm glad you liked it
Merry Xmas to you, friend!

Me too :? I sent mine over three weeks ago via priority post. They told me 7-10 days. My SS recipient doesn't post often, so I'm hoping that's the reason I haven't heard anything.

HAHAHAHa Fuzzy Dice for the truck! I'm digging the PJ license plate too. I had thought of having something like a stickman made for the grill. May still do that. But the plate will have a place of prominence on the dash.
Been a longtime since I had those gummy bears. When I was a teen I lived near Zweibrucken in a little town called Dellfeld. Use to get these froom the little grocery they had.
NOW I simply must get a record player. Will be interesting to hear those one day.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks Again.

I am pretty sure you are supposed to reveal your name.
I wonder why the person didn't sign it then? :geek:
well, im new to this SS and I thought it was SECRET santa so i didnt signed my username, just my real name. But ive been waiting to hear how was my gift and i hope shes happy with it so.....

Like said, it's up to the sender. I normally sign with my username as well as my own name, as they are *ta-dah* the same thing. And I think I've always been the only participant in Finland, so it's not like my packages are a mystery anyway.

I can't seem to find the tracking number for the package I sent :-( I checked a week or so ago and it had arrived to the designated country. Hope it gets there soon.
Still no package here.
Still can't believe I met Mike Mccready at the Guggenheim and got a pic with him!!!!!

My Secret Santa sent me a sweet package today but signed it "From Secret Santa".
Is that what we're supposed to do? Not reveal our real names even when we send the package?
(I guess it's a good thing the gift I'm sending is still sitting on my desk!) :? :P
No real deep thought behind this, Just signed SS and mailed like the little elf we are all suppose to be right now.
Glad it got there, hope you liked your presents.
Sprukn7 - what are you doing up so late reading posts!! LOL

Awesome! I'm glad it made it safely and you like it Good luck for everything that you have planned!
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
Anick, you are a fabulous Secret Santa and yes I figured out who you are - not many Secret Santa people from Montreal. Your gift is fabulous and you were such a great spy reading about me working from home and knowing what I like. Your pictures are fabulous - the photo I'm posting doesn't do them justice. I can't decide if I should put them on the wall or clear some space on my counter (that would involve me cleaning - yuck).
PJ fans are the best, let's face it. Thank you again and I almost tried to say that in my high school French but I went to Google translate instead:

Last year I didn't look at the card until I thought I knew who had sent it, and I was soooo wrong!
No real deep thought behind this, Just signed SS and mailed like the little elf we are all suppose to be right now.
Glad it got there, hope you liked your presents.
Sprukn7 - what are you doing up so late reading posts!! LOL
Yes, there's nothing like a Snuggie with cross stitching details by Green Circle! He's especially good at bunnies, lollipops and fluffy clouds.
I hope Santa doesn't read this post and count it against me... :?
Awesome! I'm glad it made it safely and you like it
I hope I included enough Purina Ferret Chow... :?
Did you leave airholes?
PJ fans are the best, let's face it. Thank you again and I almost tried to say that in my high school French but I went to Google translate instead:
Merci du fond du coeur. Vous etes incroyables.
Exciting!! Thank you !!!
JB and I will be opening when his arrives ... we'll have an SS party
I love Christmas and I love Secret Santas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
