Seems a few of us may not have adhered to the mailing deadline.
haha....ya think?
i'm glad my santa person got their gift...and my extra santa got hers too. i did get my exchange with earthy.....beautiful, although sadly one part was broken. :( however, still a beautiful gift!
still waiting on my *real* secret santa...but sure, keeps the suspense/surprise going!
I got mine today! I've only opened the box not the presents. Yet. It would appear so far at least that my Secret Santa wants to stay secret. I say that because on the box it came from S. Santa. There is a card, as yet unopened as well, so I'm not totally sure that is the case. I do know it's from Canada, and it says North Pole, Ontario, so I've got some googling to do as I'm not sure there is such a place. lol Also, there aren't that many Canadians on the list so...:D Anyhow, THANK YOU very much and I'll be sure to post when I open them.

I just wanted to post and say I got the most awesome, I mean awesome, package(actually HUGE box) from my secret Santa!!
My box went out, late, but it has been sent. I kept waiting to send it hoping I'd find some super spectacular thing, and never did :( so I sent what I had.
I'll have to take pics of what I got. I feel very very spoiled!!
ETA I haven't read my card yet so I don't know who sent me the most awesome swap presents ever, but I will and post again with my pictures!!! But for now I want to say THANK YOU sooo much!!!

I was talking trash about my neighbours, I've heard stories about packages being stolen in my bulding, and last friday a note was left on my door, I could pick up with them something that the mailman tried to delivered but he couldn't find me.
So, I have nothing else to say but:
Thanks to my SS, my present is so fucking great, I love it :cool:
So, I just hope to have a nice frame to put it in my room.
You rock Foxy Mop, thanks so much again and have a nice time this holiday season!!
I feel very close to you all now; so close I could almost... loan you money. Really. it goes that deep.

well i received my santa gift today, and i think there may be a mistake? it looks like i was meant to get 2 $10 giftcards to michaels crafts? there is a 'receipt' in the envelope that says as much, and has some guys name/addy on the top as the purchaser. then, there are 2 different store cards with the giftcards inside each. one has a message preprinted to me and also '$10'....however, the other card has a message to someone named kathy, with a brief message and love l*****..and it says '$50'.....so i would assume this is meant to be someone else's gift?
now, it says that the 'secret' is out in my card, but there really are no 'clues' as to who my santa is. i have a guys real name, and a girls first name in the other card, but don't recognize either....nor any usernames included, so i am at a loss. none the less, santa, whoever you are....let me know b/c i think you may want the $50 gift card back to give to whomever it was intended? let me know. i would've PMed, but as i don't know who you are...i hope you see this.

You're welcome! I'm glad it made it in time, as I know international mail can sometimes get lost or take f o r e v e r!
My gift isn't as elaborate as some of the others, but I chose it based on the links to the websites of the things you liked (and that shipping other stuff with it would've threatened the integrity of the gift). As soon as I saw the sites, I figured the little green monster guy would be right up your alley -and- with the added bonus of it being a Pearl Jam related gift! If you have it already, you can always trade it!
Well, I had a nice surprise waiting for me when I got home this evening.
Had my hands not been full, it would have been opened before the door closed.
Chocolate and liquor?? Two of my faves. The pictures are very cool. The waterglobe is adorable.
I love the explanation of why you included each item. I am glad that you decided to do something relating to where you are from,
it is fun learning about new places.

Well I was kinda freaked out about it BUT I sent a whole bunch to the same country on the same day and NONE of them have arrived yet. So I'd say that country has a crap postal service! Or it could be OUR crap postal service! The guy told me seven days by air mail. That was 2 weeks ago.

hmmm... maybe he meant 7 working days... or maybe he then sent it the slower way... on a boat! Or put it in a big bottle and threw it into the sea?

Oh those are ace!!! My grandma always had them on her tree, and I was wondering why we (=the kids) weren't allowed to have those sweets.
they're quite the tradition here too... although we were allowed eat them probably explains a lot, lol.

Haha, mainly my dad was always strict against kids just getting close to alcohol and my grandma always put them up and gave it to us secretly.
Oh and I'm still waiting for someone's package to arrive too. (I'm actually not able to imagine why it shouldn't be there yet cause that one was in Europe, and the one to the US has already arrived...)
Kids! Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your own home.
I sent a package on the 10th ,Priority, from IL to PA and it still isn't there!
I hope my SS package makes it thru customs, I can never remember what I can and can't send. :(

Mine is still in customs. I've been tracking it everyday. I hope it gets to the person I sent it to in time.

don't knock it... carrier pigeons are officially faster than US mail.
bedface, there doesn't seem to be any logic to the way this bloody post is going at all.

Me either. Although more importantly to me (coz I keep forgetting that I'm getting one) is that the one I sent hasn't arrived at its destination yet.
I don't think you're alone Sian. There's quite a few that have said that they haven't received theirs yet. It'll come.

ooh!! Good point pat!
Our customs guys are completely anally retentive these days!! :rolleyes:
I wonder if that's why the stuff I sent hasn't arrived at its destination yet?
There was a lot of stuff for them to fossick through. A customs nightmare really!
