Got mine 10 minutes ago!! I'm soooo excited!
I need to wait about 10 hours until I can open it.. 10 awful long hours^^
Can't imagine how people could stand this for more than 2 weeks.. I want to open it NOW.

Ok I promised pictures and I finally took the time to take them today.
Here is what I got from my SS. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/mindid/DCP11613.jpg
The candle holder, with a yummy cinnamon scented candle(I have been burning this at night in my room),the towel(a big yummy fluffy towel. I won't share this with anyone, all of our other towels are $1.50 ones from WM. This is MINE!), and the cosmetic bag(Oilily brand too :O) that had the lotion and shower gel in it. My kids love the lotion because it is shimmering and they like to be sparkley LOL!!
Sort of better shot of the candle holder.It is sooo pretty and when it is lit at night it sparkles all over my room since it has the holes all in it. I was going to take a picture of the candle but it is almost melted :( http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/mindid/DCP11614.jpg
Anyway I absolutely LOVE everything! My kids even fought over the bags the stuff came in!!
I read my card and my secret Santa was Linda!!! She really really outdid herself!!!! Thank you sooo much for really making my holiday.
And of course I sent mine late and I know it won't be there before Christmas, but it is on its way. I know it will get held up in customs probably :( I am sorry I sucked at my ss job.
Mindi, you deserve it!!!!!! i hope you have a great christmas.....:):)
It's like bizaro world this year. People are claiming to have the X-mas vinyl and the SS presents will get to their destination around Easter.
Oh I'm not expecting to ever see the Xmas vinyl. I mean I'd LOVE if I actually got it, but I've only received my "welcome to the 10 club" letter so far and I reckon I'll just be blown away if I get anything else. My first Xmas vinyl is just too much to comprehend so I'm working on the premise that it's not coming. That way I can't be disappointed.
My secret santa on the other hand I just know is coming AND I'm really looking forward to it, so I don't mind waiting at all.
I just wish that MY Secret Santa that I sent would bloody arrive already!
I sent it nearly 4 weeks ago! And I'm peeved it hasn't arrived. I wanna know what she/he thinks of it!
Although now that you mention it even, maybe we should have a secret easter bunny? haha!
Haha, not so much self control as hubby control. He's in one on another board and he's waiting so I kind of felt like I should too. Plus, we were planning a trip right after Christmas to visit relatives and so told them not to mail any presents, so without these it would be bleak on Christmas Day!
"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."

Well I'm well impressed! Because I know when mine gets here, EVEN if it had got here BEFORE today, I'd have been ripping into it! I'm BUSTING to know!
I got nothing yet either. I'm a little dissapointed to be honest, but i'm sure i'll get it at some point. Just hope it doesn't take TOO long or i'll be off from this place again and won't see it til Easter.

No worries. Don't worry too much about it. Even if ya send it the next working day, it won't be here before I bugger off back to uni, so i'll have a lovely Easter present waiting for me when I come back.

Ok, I just opened mine. Not quite Christmas but Christmas eve! I LOVE IT!
Whoever you are you totally got me! I received the most beautiful photograph of arctic wolves taken at the Toronto Zoo, and not only that, but framed beautifully as well. Just incredible. It most definitely has a special place in our home, along with many, many friends! You don't know how perfectly it fits in; just like you'd see our house. I also received a really cool lava night light that reminds me of old times! It kind of goes with our SpongeBob one - haha. I'll try to take some pics and post later. Thank you very much Secret Santa, but I sure wish I knew who you are. I guess I'll have to do some more "research". lol Merry Christmas!!

I got a "Mr. Construction" 2008 calendar with many many attractive guys in it.. hahaha.. I love it
Then I got a funny book called "OVERHEARD IN DUBLIN AGAIN", I already glanced through it and found this:
Bono speaks:
At the U2 concert in Croke Park, Bono asks the audience for some quiet. Then in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands. Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone, "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."
A voice from near the front of the audience pierces the silence: "Fookin' stop doin' it, then!"
hilarious!
And I got this WHOMP IT! "hammer".. the instant solution to any problem
I tested it on my brother yesterday.. and it really works!
And thanks for the sweet card
I love my presents!! Thanks sooo much, Secret Santa! (and thanks for the clues.. haha.. I'll have a Heineken on you )
I love my book already been scareing the kids reading parts to them hehehehe crazy stuff we are all enjoying it , and my wonderful decoration I've put it on the mantle piece next to Buddha thank you and Merry Christmas xxxxx

Hey everyone!! finally back at work after a lovely 5 days off....
and i am happy to report that my S.S. prezzie arrived, perfectly timed, on Christmas Eve Day!!
thank you soooooo much to my Secret Santa for the fun package, all the way from Australia!!! (i was so excited).... I know i didn't give you any hints at all, but a "sampler" from my Secret Santa's homeland is exactly what I wanted...
I haven't had a chance to listen to the CD yet, but the tracklist looks great!
All the snacks are almost gone!! Caramello Koala and the Tim Tam were the BEST!! admitedly, i haven't tried the Vegemite yet, but it's such a damn cute packet, i don't want to ruin it! i might save it...
And the book of poetry is lovely! it is very reminicent of my absolute favorite children's poet named Shel Silverstein, who i grew up reading...
So, before bed on christmas eve, i curled up with a hot chocoloate and baileys, my christmas lights, the poetry book, and some Aussie treats... thank you so much!!

Mindi, you deserve it!!!!!! i hope you have a great christmas.....:):)
Damn postal service!!
Yea I'm so bummed mine didn't arrive in time. :(
Don't be love.
I'm quite sure that whoever you sent to will be excited at the prospect of getting something in the New Year like I am.
There's something sad about all your presents being opened and over with in one day. I bet it's something they can look forward to.
