    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!

    Yay, I'm glad it got to you safe and sound. :) And I'm glad you like it! Glad and relieved. :lol:

    Oikein hyvää joulua ja iloista uutta vuotta!

    thank you sooooo much!!

    yay!! i'm so glad you received it okay and that you liked everything!!

    this was my first year doing this, so was kinda clueless (course i'm kinda clueless anyway, so that didn't help :lol: )

    hope you like the yummy goodies...it was real hard not eating them all myself ;) when i saw that you liked chocolate, i thought "now she's come to the right person!" :D

    It's secret because no one knows who has who until the end. And, if the sender chooses not to tell who they are it is secret, but usually they do...or at least most figure it out. I do remember a few years back when I had a hell of a time figuring out who it was, but finally did or else they finally said. :)

    The pressies this year are wonderful!

    Hope mine both got there ok! I did not like sending 2 pkgs for fear of the USPS. They have been sucking as of late. I sent my rent check Dec. 2 and they have not gotten it yet! And it goes one town over....Yikes!
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    Haven't been on the forum is over a weekish (I think), but I had to come in here and have a peek.

    What fantastic pressies!!

    I have to report that most of the edibles are nearly all gone :D I have no restraint.
