Big Hugs to my Secret Santa! Yes, I should have waited to open them, but I could not resist.
I love love love my digital photo frame and the scarf and hat! I wore them today because it is so dang cold here.
Thanks so much SS and I wish you, your family, and all a wonderl holiday and Merry Christmas!

This is so much fun!
Got a pkg from Santa!
According to Santa, he/she is still shopping, but sent me a FAA luggage tag in the meantime - wow! Love it, of course. Also, there was a disclaimer that the tag could garner respect or I might never see my bag again! Is my SS a lawyer? The other clue is that my pkg was sent from Halladay, UT. But, that could be a trick. Hmmm, a tricky lawyer ...
Anyway, I have sent out one of my pkgs, so I will be looking to see if the recipient gets it soon. Hope they like their gift as well
Note for my SS - I am probably the one who someone wanted to switch from. I gave almost no info on what I wanted beyond maybe an upgrade (and don't we all want that). But actually, I will be happy with anything. I think this is just so exciting and fun. I have had a great, delightful time buying and getting stuff!

All Secret Santa boxes have now been sent. Hoping that the USPS and other mailing entities involved help speed them on their way to their rightful owner.
Thanks, Wharvey, for the chance to participate in this. I really had a great time trying to find the perfect gifts for my giftees!

I'm waiting to receive some of the gifts I ordered. I had them sent here so I could add them to what I bought here, and will then ship from here. They'll arrive in time for Xmas, and yes William I will PM you when I ship them to my SS recipient.
Cheers.
Cheers.

My poor Secret Santa.
It occurs to me that I didn't help give him/her much help by saying I would be happy with anything. I received much satisfaction figuring out a specific present for my giftee, given all the suggestions provided.
So, if there is still time, know that I love wine! Love white and red zins. I buy alot on amazon and they just came out with giftcards. I love shopping for my 4 year old. I like chillin at Barnes & Noble (to get away from my 4 year old), but I don't have time for books (again the 4 year old), so I buy mostly magazines (Star, In Style, Archealogy Today, Gems & Minerals, ...) and eating in their cafe. Oh yeah, I LOVE food. Especially sweets. My fav being Sees, Lindt and Godiva. Anything chocolate with nuts
In fact, I have to go to dinner right now! Hope this is enough. Thanks, Lisa

She made me stop at a White Castle on the Brooklyn Tour several years ago. She took a couple of bites, but the damage was done. That van smelled of burgers and onions after that.

Received another package today from one of my Secret Santas, called Sock Patterns for the Traveling Knitter. Cute patterns; will be studying it tonight while curled up with my cats because that's what crazy cat ladies do!
Thanks, Santa
Thanks, Santa

OOOHHH Santa!
Got a certificate today saying that Santa was loading on his sleigh a new travel backpack for me! Santa mailed his certificate from Santa Clarita, CA, but that could, of course, be a red herring. Am sooooo looking forward to having a new backpack which doesn't just slosh all of my stuff together in one big pocket. Thanks in advance, Santa. I'll let you know when the backpack arrives.^
