While I agree that it is more courteous (and one of the rules) for recipients to post when they receive their gifts, this is after all a forum for people who travel. It is entirely possible that your recipients are not home at the moment! Or may be slammed with a heavy year-end workload or family situation and not able to post immediately after they receive the package.

Sure hope we can give everyone the benefit of the doubt and keep posts on this thread positive in the spirit of the season!
