Getting nervous, mine should have been there by now. :(. But my post office stinks. I have a PO Box and you would think I would get mail before others but not so. I get things like two to three days after every one I know. Makes no sense at all.
Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you
Those are the two coolest presents! I don't know how to express just HOW cool they both are
(for everyone who doesn't have a clue whats going on - some kick-ass mini speakers which are currently drowing out the TV, and an intriguing truth/dare/shots game which means no-one I know will be able to look each other in the eye over Christmas - Yes that means you too Helen... again)
Thakn you sooooo much, they are both fantastic!
:eek: I'm not playin!
The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
Verona??? it's all surmountable
Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
I haven't got mine but haven't sent mine either.
Some people have a little end of semester cramming i'm sure... or maybe that's just me?
Since i work at a post office i'm not to worried about getting it done.
What a great way to close out the work week! (I get my packages delivered to work because my mailman is an idiot and would just leave it on the stoop for anyone walking by to grab.)
Thank you so much Emmi!!!!!!!!!!!! I love my present!!!
the first thing i saw was all the candy! soooo good. people in my office are like vultures when anything sweet is around. i managed to save most of it by shoving the candy in my desk while i looked at everything else.
-there is a calendar with kittens and all the writing in Finnish.
-there are two christmas art cards that are gorgeous.
-there is a tiny knitted glove that will go on my tree (with a finnish pin to be attached to it)
-there is a refrigerator magnet with a ship on it (i love this thing. so pretty. good job)---i collect foreign magnets so this was awesome to receive
-there are 3 little scented christmas candles. cute.
-and probably the coolest....coasters made out of laminated postcards with neat little comments about the pictures hand written on the back of each. this was so clever. the added personal touch means so much.
the people at work who saw me opening this were so envious that i was able to sign up for this. "that is a cool idea"! i love this. it is my favorite part of the season.

I'm ever so happy you like it. you're most welcome!!
"Don't be faint-hearted, I have a solution! We shall go and commandeer some small craft, then drift at leisure until we happen upon another ideal place for our waterside supper with riparian entertainments."
last friday, at work ( i always get my packages delivered at work, for the same reason as mensane ) i opened them with a co-worker breathing down my neck, and while she was shouting “how exciting, how exciting”, i was pleasantly surprised to see what my ss send me…
heartshaped chocolate’s rolled out of the first package i opened, they where gone in like 2 seconds
i got a very beautiful artwork poster, really really like it!!!!
4 cd’s from the camden and dublin show which are my ss’s favourite show’s, a PJ sticker, and a very nice letter…..
Irish Al, my secret santa!!!! thanks dude, I really love the poster, have to get it framed, and than it will get a prominent spot in my new home!!!

Yay I got it
Thank you so much! Not only did Sprunkn7 give me some amazing gifts, but she also gave me a stocking with some toys and a portable water bowl for my dog Nikita. I also got
- a beautiful coffee table book called the Nature of Wisdom
- some picture frames with pictures taken by Sprunkn7 (amazing shots of NYC)
- a yankee balsam cedar candle
- some socks
- a canvas purse with a snowman motif
- and an audio boot of a very special concert
This is the first time I have participated in the AET Secret Santa. It has been an amazing experience. Thank you to Helen and Sian for organising the festivities and a special thank you to Sprunkn7, I am overwhelmed by your kindness and thoughtfullness.
Merry Christmas!
"What the CANUCK happened?!? - Esquimalt Barber Shop
- An awesome reusable shopping bag - used it today - and then my dogs wouldn't leave it alone!
- a hilarious magnet that I can't keep up at work
- a dream catching aparatus - says to hang it in my sleep area, so it's on my cubicle wall
- a Peruvian/Guatemalan worry doll (which is funny because we have a commercial on TV here about a couple needing bigger dolls because they worry so much about their "investmentitos" - and it always makes me laugh for some reason...so the worry doll will stay with me in my bag cuz it makes me smile!)
And crud - I can't remember the pit name of the person who sent it - but I was very impressed and amused, PO!! Thanks so much!!
This was so much fun!! Now, I better get my prezzie to my giftee going very soon!

Oh wow I'm glad you got it on time! I thought that the Irish Postal Service were lying when they said it'd be in Canada in under a week! Merry Christmas!!

if by this you mean you haven't sent it yet then hell YES! :eek:

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.
I am sooo behind!!! I am sending mine out on Monday, making sure it will get there in time! I took my time finding all the little things, so I hope she likes it!
Nothing here on my end yet, but waiting is (almost) half the fun!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful December.
I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.
Got my prezzie in the mail on Friday...and wow am I humbled.
PJ Pixie has set the bar high for generosity with her time and effort into this gift, and I will be forever grateful. A HANDMADE customized Pearl Jam scarf (I only own one scarf and live in New England!) and some RUM for me EGG NOG!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!
A thousand thanks for such an awesome gift...and maybe the PJ gods will allow us to meet in person so I can appropriately thank you.
Thanks again T, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!

Oh man that sounds sweet...I'm still waiting!!
Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!
I got mine today. Audiodave, thank you soooo much! It was a seriously awesome gift and I love it! I was impressed with the pretty wrapping alone! It contained:
-An awesome little snowman that I love to death! (yes, it survived the journey across the pond!) It was actually described as from a 'quaint little shop' which is how I picture things in Coventry and makes me love it even more!
-Little wreath candles that I probably won't burn because they're so cute.
-A jar of marmite and a book on different uses for it. This scares me and I haven't tried it yet.
-Soap from Lush which made the whole package smell great!
-A bag of reindeer poop chocolate.
-A postcard desribing Coventry and a pretty cross pin to go with it.
-A card with nice explanations of all my gifts.

Yes, Audiodave was my first secret santa and I was impressed. Very thoughtful gifts.
"I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."
I received mine today! I won't be opening it until Christmas but thought I'd let the sender know it arrived safe and sound. I'll post back and let him/her know how much I love it, because I'm sure I will. Posted this in the pit but thought I'd post it here too. If it transfers over at some point oh well...Not sure how that is working?

I received my present from SOLAT 13 a couple of days ago, but had to have the 10c fix my user account . I guess something had to be done to my username or something to get me to be able to post agian. I havent been able to post for about 1 1/2 weeks now. Anyway TY Joe , i couldnt think of a more fitting end to the christmas AET secret santa then to have had you as mine. Isnt that ironic??? Anyway heres what I received BTW:
A pint of rum stright from the Phillipines from Joe's venture out there a couple of months ago..
A baggie full of Phillipine Mango Tamarind Candy ( SO DELICIOUS )
A copy of the 2008 philadelphia phillies world series dvd
Thank you so much Joe ( Solat 13 )

I opened my present this morning, and it is too cute! I would like my Secret Santa to know that my 8-year old son actually collects the jelly bean animals and was totally psyched to see the reindeer! We already have a cow, a pig, an elephant, and a bunny! They are hilarious!
AND...we are big UGLY DOLL fans! I used to sell the large ones in my children's store, but have never seen the small ones! We are going to use him as a Christmas ornament next year. My son asked if we can name him "Eddie". There's way too much "Ed" talk around here, I suppose!
Thank you also for the lovely card...hope the dog enjoyed whatever it was!
Happy Christmas!!!

It's from the man i sent to last year no less, Steve Dunne. Thanks Steve, it's an awesome gift and i'm really pleased it was from you
I got:
- A PJ piano tribute CD, strange as Steve got something not too dissimilar last year
- Three, yes three, christmas CD's. Only had a chance to listen to one so far but it was awesome!
- A huge bottle of some dinosaur bbq sauce that I will be trying when it's not so bloody cold.
- A yankee candle
- A Connecticut Huskies shot glass
- Something else
Thanks again Steve.

I am not going to open it until Christmas, but I will post then to say how much I love it, as I know I will.
