Secret Santa Opening Thread!

Well, it looks like I may have to find my receipt and tracking slip and hit the UPS store to see what might have happened if the prezzie I sent hasn't arrived yet. I asked last year about arrival times and stuff since it was going overseas, but I didn't ask this year since it was just going across the border.

(And I'm still worrying that maybe they're not comic geeky enough to like what I sent, but we'll see...:eek:)


:cool:
 
I had another parcel sitting on top of my letterbox when I got back from last minute shopping.

The kids were most interested in the large box of chockies for me and hubby. We had to beat them off with a stick!
And "Ooo, bagpipes!" - yes, my 8 year old is a little strange. I love the earrings!

Hey Slyc.

I posted earlier in this thread about the book that you sent me. Just wanted to be sure you didn't miss it and think you overlooked.

Thanks again my friend.

I did miss it. Sorry. This thread has been going pretty fast.

It was funny. I didn't know what to get, and i was wandering in and out of stores until I saw the humor shelf at Borders. Ding! Lightbulb moment.

Glad you liked it, buddy.

The postman knocked...

And brought me another present!

It smelt so christmassy as I opened it, I could smell Christmas trees and when I got into it it had a candle holder with three lovely scented candles in it -one of them being a fir tree one. I've got spices for mulling (Gonna do some cider later) and various filled santas and some idaho spuds. I have a gorgeous scarf and a bookmark and the cutest jingling christmas teddy bear and some beautiful postcards.

Thank you so, so, so much Mckenna! :heart:
 
Sadly, it'll be after Christmas before my gift arrives to Jen. The gift was returned and has to be sent again. If not for that glitch, it'd have been there on time. :(
 
Hey, Kendo...

Thank you so much. You know, sometimes providence is right on top of things. I attend a lot of meetings, and I always need something that I can slip in my pocket to take to them to record notes. I was just thinking a day or two ago that I needed a new notepad for the coming year, and today my Secret Santa gift arrived.

For all you lovely nosy people;) who like to read other people's mail, it's a very neat bound 4x6 notepad with a closing flap that locks with a magnetic click. Perfect.

Yay it arrived! :D


How 'bout them apples? And just in the (Saint) nick of time. (I know - crappy joke).

The package said it was mailed via Royal Post. Does that mean the Queen paid the postage? (I know- another crappy joke).

Argh!

In the furore of swapping presents at my parents, the bag with my SS present in is still at my folks >.<

So instead I present my early present from Mark, who is now officially a dead man - we agreed not to do presents this year. Its a Luis Royo print, with special cover so its hologram-like in that the background moves - hence the laser strip >.<

Just more time for me to be excited about it :D

My mom's Christmas parcel hasn't arrived yet either, so I'll just arrange another christmassy gift opening session when they both arrive. :)
