Received a package from miko2a! It appears that it was delivered a couple of days ago but ended up in the mail room instead of being delivered from the freight side. Package contained a Bespoke Post Relax men's grooming kit, Pandemic, and a bar of chocolate (which may or may not still be there...)! Thank you!

I received my first gift today, my (by now not so) secret santa stopped by the office to deliver my gift.

I got three books by Singaporean authors, and three beers. Something to read and something to enjoy while reading.

Again thank you for the gift, I look forward to get started on the books.

Pandemic is a VERY cool game! Play this all the time, your Secret Santa did well if you're into interesting, strategic board games!

Got home from an 11 hour work day to find a package from Secret Santa #2!

Thug Kitchen is so awesome! And I can't wait to start plotting my springtime gardening strategy with the Container Bible

Thank you Santa!!!!

You're welcome. We love Pandemic in our house and when I read you liked board games there was no question that was the one I wanted to gift.

Package received!!

I received my Secret Santa package & I have been trying to post a picture but I'm rushed and haven't had the time to figure it out.....so....
Thank you so much, Kolican

My items were not wrapped so I can reveal them to you. I received a box of yummy Sees candy, a $25.00 gift card to Starbucks, a travel candle, two ornaments...one of London and one of NYC...my two favorite cities in the world, and last but not least.....a pair of Reindeer glasses

All appreciated and they will be enjoyed soon

I will post a picture as soon as I have a moment to figure it out I'm sure it is not that hard

I'm excited to play it again-I've only played it once about 6 years ago

Received two packages. I'll post pictures when I can.

First one from thehowieee was a great assortment of things from Savannah including: Perc's Coffee Holiday Blend, Savannah Bee Company honey sampler, Byrd's Georgia Peach Cookies and a Byrd's cookie jar, and The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook. Love all of them and will be enjoying the coffee and cookies tomorrow morning. My wife has claimed the honey or use in her many cups of tea.

The second one from GSegal contained a Delta travel bag and a United special edition amenity kit featuring HNL on the cover.

Thanks to both of my Secret Santas.

Hope you enjoyed the coffee this morning!
Part 3 is on the way. There was a problem with the delivery attempt earlier this week, but we worked things out today.

Edited: Spoke too soon. Delivery of your third gift was attempted again yesterday, but the building was closed?

Maybe a comment on your tendency to open gifts a bit early?
