Good Morning,
All my Santee packages have been shipped and shown as delivered. I have had 1 of 3 post their gifts.
As for me, I have received 2 of 3 gifts. Thank you to my Santee for the Hyatt gift card this will go to good use for me and my family.
Samosa,
Thank you for the gift. I received it yesterday. My daughter was excited to open it. She loves the plane crayon. I love the Austin ornament, I have already found a spot to place it on our tree. Plus, all the other assorted gifts. Thank you so much for taking the time to put thought into your gifts to us. I would post a picture, but I am not very techie.
Have a great holiday this season and thank you once again.
FYI- I have had to hide gifts I received from Amazon, so my daughter does not see them. If a gift is in thier I may not know until I wrap her gifts this week or next. If I do find a gift, I will post.

The generosity of some in this forum is staggering. And I don't just mean money, but also time! It's a nice feeling to imagine that my neighbour on my next flight might also be a Santa lurking about here.
It was my first time participating, so I went close to the defined budget. Next time I might play it a little more loosely. That said, if anyone is missing a Santa I'd be glad to volunteer (for practical shipping reasons, preferably US, Sri Lanka or Singapore-based addresses!).

And one arrived even sooner! Received a package this weekend from Secret Santa Redhead with a selection of delicious-sounding teas from Le Palais des Thes and a festive Christmas candle holder. Thank you, can't wait to try these! That plum and quince tea sounds amazing.
And to echo a comment I made in an earlier post, one of the things I am enjoying the most is discovering new sources/brands that I had not heard of before, but are favorites of my Secret Santas.

All of my gifts have shipped and two people have posted. 3 more awaiting to post (I know some gifts are due to arrive by the 19th).
I have received 3 of 5 from my Santas. Looking forward to the next two.
In the almost 10 years I've been doing this, I've had one bad santa (but many recipients not post
). Hoping the good luck continues.

Just an fyi to those that might be my secret santa, let me know if any issues arrise. We have had some crazy weather and everything that comes to my town goes through Salt Lake first, I have seen lots of delays and lost packages this year. We do have cameras as well at our house and have not seen any mischief this year or crazy ups football players going long with any packages..... :P
Hope everyone is enjoying that holidays!

For those who think recipients aren't posting, I've been expecting a non-Santa package. I finally looked at tracking, and UPS SmartPost or SurePost, or whatever they call it where they give it to USPS at the end failed. UPS delivered it to the USPS location. It's never been scanned in my USPS, and after a week, still shows as they've received electronic notification to expect it. Sometimes, packages, even when scheduled for delivery, don't always arrive...

Received my first ever secret Santa gift today; a Fujifilm instax mini 8 instant camera (the kids are already enjoying popping the bubble wrap).
I'm sure we'll put this to good use in the holiday season this Dec.
Thank you Secret Santa!

Chief Santa Message!
We are less than two weeks from Christmas.... and Santa has way too many blanks in his spreadsheet! He hopes that people will not be on the naughty list this year!
Please work to get your gifts out as soon as possible so that your giftees have their gifts PRIOR to Christmas Day!
Also, remember you MUST message me when you send and receive your gifts!
I do hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday season. I will actually be in NYC from Dec 22 until Dec 29 so wanting to make sure that everything is taken care of in advance!

I just returned home from traveling for the past 2 weeks and I did not have any packages waiting for me. Also, in looking through the thread I do not see that my recipient has indicated that they have received their package either and it should have been delivered several day ago but because it is international the post office said I could not get tracking info. I hope it has made it there safely!!
