I'm shopping for presents, and have narrowed it down for my SS recipients. Mr. Kipper is even getting into it this year, having found a present for both!

I don't know how Santa guessed my size....Good work!
I happened to be in L.A. this weekend & also got my gift personally delivered by Santa himself. That was pretty cool!

OK... Santa just got out all the final assignments.

I hope that everyone has as much fun as the people in the past have had in this event.

Santa just got through his USPS mail from being away for the two weeks.

He wants to thank his NY Secret Santa.

I know it had to be difficult for a NY Yankees to actually BUY anything that says RED SOX on it.....

Santa enjoyed doing some personal deliveries.... and hearing about others who have received their gifts and their excitement over what they received.

Thank you Santa! I received a luggage scale (which I am constantly saying -- the night before a trip when it is too late to get one -- that I need) and a comfort grip handle extender. These gifts will make upcoming travel more tolerable and pleasant. Thank you!

Actually, I can attest that Santa has gone out of his way not to out his direct reports. In fact, a few of his sub-Santas (who shall remain nameless) received stern lectures for getting sloppy about concealing their identities.

My Santa Rules!!

Well, my Santa sent me 2 packages...and what wonderful timing! I had just finished a grueling day of testing for a therapy dog disaster relief team with my greyhound...we passed! And when I got home Santa had delivered the most beautiful sweatshirt with a greyhound right on the front and I love love love it!! And then, Santa left me a very big and very beautiful book all about my favorite vehicle (Porshe!) and my husband was so impressed he even woke me up to find out where I got it (Santa, of course) and I couldn't be more thankful for such wonderful presents - SS you're the best!!!!
Thanks!! Merry Christmas!!

You got that right....

I did send a note to try and get a proper street address, as of this morning, that person has still not read the message 3 days later.
