    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:

    Merci du fond du coeur. Vous etes incroyables.

    wouhouuuuuuu thats cool! I'M glad you like it! I saw gifts that other user sent ad I was thinkg: OMG i'm so not original! :o :shock:

    Like I said, i'm very proud of those and its not unique, since I have give a few for Montreal & Ontario's fundraiser, but i'm very happy you like it! :D

    and translation is perfect. ;)


    MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

    Just back from the post office. They assured me it would get to its destination in the next few days.

    I hope I included enough Purina Ferret Chow... :?

    8 lbs. should be enough :)

  • I received a treasure trove from my Secret Santa!

    010.jpg
      A calendar of London A Christmas doorhanger A Who magnet A toy for my doggies Chocolates (I ate all the toffee ones in record time :oops: ) No less than 14 CDs A Beatles mug

    I mentioned in my wish list that I have to spend a lot of time in my car and always like to have new music to listen to, so a copy of a fave CD would be nice. But wow! 14 CDs and they are all new to me:

    011.jpg

    I'm so excited about listening to all my new music!

    And the item that my prince and I will probably fight over: :lol:

    015.jpg

    This came with the message "I hope you don't dislike the Beatles!" As Boomers, we are absolute Beatle fans! Especially my prince, who still has the battered Lennon-McCartney songbook that his mom bought him when he was 14 and just learning to play guitar. :lol:

    Thank you, chime! What a lovely assortment of goodies and I'm delighted with every one of them! And thank you for including my fur-kids. Penny and I have been playing tug of war with their new toy. :mrgreen:

    Thank you, chime!

    I am so glad it arrived on time! Because of the weight I had to send it surface rather than air mail so was worried you may be waiting until the new year :oops:

    Glad you liked everything. With the cds I figured if I sent an eccletic collection there may be one or two that may make it to a second listen :lol: ... and with the mug I bought it to go in a British theme and then saw the thread on the Porch about 'the Beetles and the rolling stone' and had a sudden panic that although a Who fan you may be among the Beatles haters :shock:

    I hope you are feeling better and wish you and yours a wonderful x-mas :mrgreen:
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

  • My Secret Santa gift arrived today! It was a very pleasant surprise after a shitty day at work. And it came from the native land of Santa himself - Finland :D
    I received a box of deliciously looking Finnish sweets - marmeladikonvehteja - a sweet little candle holder (this is going to be my only christmas decoration, it will get a special place :) ), a package of cloves to make wonderfully smelling decorations with oranges (yup, I know that custom, too!) and a beautiful card from Helsinki.
    Paljon kiitoksia, Emmi :wave:

    I spend a study term in your wonderful country and happened to be in the fantastic town of Helsinki for two days before christmas in 2002. Your package reminded me of that time :D

    Hyvää joulua ja onnellista uutta vuotta!
  • Emmi got u???awesome!!she is great!!!and still i have the strangest foto ever with her!!!! :lol:
