    I successfully opened the package... wearing oven mitts, a skiing helmet and goggles, and a surgical mask.

    Good thing _ as it actually did contain poo. AND it appears that the package had been opened at some point, perhaps by customs? But they didn't confisciate the poo. Details follow.

    Apologies as I cannot get these ^%$#@ photos to situate correctly on this page...

    First thing: Bones for the unlost dogs! (They say HOHOHO if you hold them the right way, IOIOIO the way they appear in this photo, and OHOHOH upside down:

    th_xmashohoho.jpg

    Second thing: To set the proper context, you'd have to resurrect the late, lamented The Person Above Me Sucks Big Time thread, July 13, 2010, 12:36 p.m. when I responded to someone's comment about liking Marmite... I wrote "tpamsbt for eating plastic. (Marmite, with a name like that, whatever it is must be nonorganic material.)"

    th_xmasmarmite.jpg

    Third thing: Reindeer poo. Enough said. I completely LOVE IT!!!!

    th_xmasreindeerpoo.jpg

    Final thing: And this is what I really, really love: A calendar filled with PJ20 images, including the museum, Alpine shots, and photos of many of those who are near and dear to me!

    Nice work, theserialthrilla! You got me good, Kevin!

    Smooch to you, my Marmite-eating, PJ toasting, reindeer pooing friend!

    very lovely unlost! :clap:
    and :o :shock: thrilla! nice job on the gifts! (you sure you didn't have Mrs. Thrilla shop for you? ;) )

    ALL the gifts so far are so creative and wonderful! Hopefully I will have a job soon, and can participate next year!
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

  • Got a card from my SS last week (which advised me to wait until I receive the red box before I open the card :)). I received the red box a few days ago and have put both card and gift under the Christmas tree thinking that I'll have enough will power to wait until the 25th. I don't think I will make it to Christmas before I open it though. :D Thank you ever so much Secret Santa!!! I will post again when I finally give into the call to open it. :lol:

    Merry Christmas!! Thanks again! :)

    I was wondering if they arrived safely. As they were sent together, I was hoping that they would probably get there together. (oh USPS... :cry:)

    You should know better than that! ;):lol:
    I do- I do :oops: :) I was praying to the postal gods.

    I've got two on the way as well. The post office said they would reach destination well before Christmas. Hopefully and hopefully both packages together as well!

    Seen as I wouldn't be able to take my SS pressie with me over x-mas (I usually wait to open them on x-mas day) I caved and opened it to alleviate some of the ticket buying angst ... I apologise as I don't currently have a camera ... my SS had clearly had done their research as I received:

    Klausen Soundgarden poster from the Showbox show (currently being flattened so it can go in the portfolio) - no I didn't already have it :mrgreen:
    The book/handout that was given out at some showings of PJ20 (but none in Europe ;) )
    A sticker and t-shirt from Easy Street Records ... more research as it was the right size!
    .... and what everyone always loves to receive ... CHOCOLATE :P

    ... an all round Seattle theme.

    So thank you Mensane for your kindness and genorosity and I wish you and yours a most wonderful holiday season :D
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?
  • Was Just informed by my injured wife that I have a package at the house that just arrived from Ireland
    approx 8"x8"x6" :D:D I am not sure I will be able to withhold from opening it until Dec 25th. :shock:

    I will be sending out my present this week. Again, I apologize for not sending it sooner. I do promise its
    on its way.

    One more sticker to add to my laptop :D

    Thanks so much MFC2006! You must have really did your research on me...either that or your psychic because I don't ever remember talking on here about my love for game shows, or my love for uncle Jesse for that matter :lol: Merry Christmas and the very best to you in 2012!! :D:D:D

    I know...you are the only one from Israel so not sooo secret! haha And, we weren't home when it was delivered so had to go to the post office to pick it up. It did actually arrive a few days earlier. Thank you again and can't wait to open! :)
