    So much pressure, what if my reciever thinks their presents suck :(

    Notice presents is plural, I've decided to spoil my reciever just in case one or two of the gifts do suck in their opinion.....I can barely take the pressure. Just wrapping and sending and hoping for the best!


    It is Christmas, no presents can suck. I just added that in there incase somebody wants to burst a bubble. ;)

    I don't think my receiver from last year knows who sent their stuff to them. Unless the cheated and asked Helen.

    Aww...I know, when I was buying the gifts I kept wondering "we'll my person think this is lame??" I liked it though. :p Like you I bought a few different things hoping at least one will be a winner! :D

    It's ok, if they think it sucks, they'll pretend to like it anyway :)

    hmm... not that I can recall :o

    Yep, I'm getting a few things too, I've also decided that since I've found out my receiver and I have one or two things in common, I'm just gonna get things that I like and hope the receiver also likes them :)

    I've just finished wrapping everything. Now I only need someone who's going to the post office for me, as I'm stuck in school all day tomorrow.. :o

    Oh, I love doing things like that :)

    Got the last piece today. Will ship on Monday. My sister loves the fact that we're doing this. She desperatly tries to get me into some kind of Christmas spirit every year and this year I was the one dragging her out to buy the first gift :D

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Oooooh I hope he is sending it to me! :p

    The UPS store is open on Sundays thankfully, so mine is going out tomorrow! :D I really really hope the person likes what I bought. But then again, if they don't like it, they won't know it was me! :D Just kidding. I really hope they like it!

    I already received my secret santa prezzie!!!!! How am I going to wait a WHOLE month before opening it? It's calling to me.. saying 'open me.. open me!'.

    I guess I should at least wait until the month of december to open it, shouldn't I?

    Well... shouldn't I? Hmmm... no response.. maybe that means I can open it now!!!


    BTW.. Mine being sent Wednesday.

    Haven't opened it yet (and it HAS been several hours!)! :D Last year we had the goody two shoes people who waited until Christmas Day to open their prezzie :rolleyes:. Others opened as they got them. Some even tried to resist temptation and waited a bit but were overcome with curiosity and excitement and could wait no longer.....

    HAHA!! I know, I'm a very instant gratification type person, so the waiting would drive me mad! :p But if we all decided to wait, I would. :)

    I know I'm not VV but............

    I ordered a prezzie a month ago and the thing I ordered is back ordered. I called on the weekend and the deadline for their delivery is Dec. 10. Don't you worry my SS receiver, YOU WILL HAVE IT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BEFORE X-MAS. I guarantee that!

    impressive!
    1. that you already got your gift, means someone shipped EAR_LEEE!
    2. that you thus far resisted temptation.


    i don't think a general consensus had been reached in regars to open all at once or open as you like. i have a feeling the 'open as you like' wins tho. i was the one to suggest this year one massive opening/posting frenzy :D...and while i still like the idea, i do guess it's pretty impractical given we're all over the world.

    so perhaps you red should be the one to start the "AET secret santa received" thread....since it seems you ARE the first to get your gift, and good *excuse* to dive right in and open that sucker up! :D


    man, i thought i was *good* getting mine shipped out on saturday. i just hope my person actually gets it. :o there was a mix up on the postage at first b/c i was buying a lot of stamps, sending out a couple packages, etc. it did get all straightened away, i think, and hope...hahaha....will know soon i guess! *fingers crossed*


    and man, i got killed with postage again this year....hahaha. thought i would do better, and it was actually worse this year! ha. eh well. good thing the postage is on top of the $20, b/c otherwise what a shite gift it would be...:p
    Stay with me...
