I know I thanked my SS and sent my gifts, just wanted to remind that a lot of people are having a hard time now financially. It seems like businesses are closing and people are losing their jobs fast... with that said, if there is someone that still needs a surprise as they did not receive their gift - I will be happy to try and fill in for at least one!

Times here are tough but it was so fun sending and receiving I am game for one more shopping spree!!!

The mailwoman delivered a package this morning. Baby HelsinkiFlyer likes the doll and Mrs. likes the nuts (I´m allergic) and we´re both trying the coffee tomorrow morning. Looking forward to American coffee after a long time. Thank you secret Santa.

Well.... Santa is at a loss for words... and the people who know me will realize how astonishing that is....

I just got my last Santa gift.... and color me confused.... one of the items is a bicycle tire.... just the actual rubber portion.

I sent a message to my gifter.... do not get the connection to me.

Ah, sounds like you've been signed up for Bike-Part-of-the-Month Club. Every month you get another part and then you put it together yourself!

Just received my gift from my Secret Santa in Connecticut. I received a luggage scale, which is something that will be super useful to me as I continue to shuttle my massive bags between the US and Southeast Asia.

I also received huge amounts of Hershey and Ghiradelli Chocolates, The finest from the US. Really hope I can pace myself on those chocolates!

Thanks so much!

Back from the Holidays with 3 Santas!

Last year one of my Santas didn't come through and this year all 3 came through with flying colors!

Cheese from Vermont and Smiley Cookies both sent to my holiday address (already eaten so I don't have more specifics)

Gift box with various items from Arizona: Prickley Pear Marmalade, natural soap, lip balm, chocolate toffee pecans, Arizona Syrah wine, fudge sauce, mexican lime olive oil, Mohave mango salsa, prickley pear bbq sauce, red chili honey mustard, cactus salsa all beautifully gift wrapped and then wrapped in lovely gift bags within the gift! This will take a year to enjoy!

Delivery from Neiman Marcus!!! This box has 3 different containers of chocolate covered potato chips and 4 different liqueur cakes!

Thank you so much to my secret santas!!!

Got back from SIN DO and was cleaning out the last of the
Christmas stuff and found, amid the packing, something else
from one of my Secret Santas, making a fine gift into a most
awesome one. Thanks again!

Gang,

I want to thank everyone who participated in Secret Santa this year.

There are only a few people I have not been able to get closure with at the current time.

I hope you all enjoyed participating.... and look forward to the next one!

William

Finally got to deliver, in person, the gift I had for my Secret Santa. He surprised me by also giving me a gift, several pairs of First Class jammies and some Biz bags. How sweet! Thanks, Kiwi Flyer! Had a great dinner with him, too. What a class act.

Thanks again!! Hoping that "closure" is confirmation of receipt and not of shipping, but reality does intrude.

Enjoy your seasons off!
