Thanks...nervous that some folks have already received their gifts, but then again, I came late to the game, just squeaking in under the deadline.

It's waaaaaay early for gifts to arrive.

I mean it's bad enough when they arrive mid December and you have to find the willpower to wait until the 25th, but having to wait almost 2 months to open them?

Sheer torture!

In my case, I'm celebrating Christmas out of country. I'll post my apologies ahead of time to my Secret Santa if I open the present a few days late.

One of my neighbours has their outdoor christmas tree up already - full lighting and all. That is soooo wrong.

Santa Update:

All assignments have been private messaged to each participant. Over 300 assignments have been made as of today.

Please verify that you got all the assignments you were expecting and let me know ASAP of any issues.

As I indicated, I will be away on my anniversary roughly from Nov 13 - Dec 2. If you need any help from me in getting more info, please ask before then.... or it will most likely not get answered until we return from Australia.

Over 25 gifts have been shipped already; I hope the rest of you do me proud and get your gifts out in time. REMEMBER, you committed to ensure that gifts are received by December 25th OF THIS YEAR! One reason I no longer personally exchange gifts is that I spend so much time tracking down people who are not fulfilling their commitments. I would like one year where everyone followed through on time!

Remember, send me messages with DETAILS when you ship; I need to know what you shipped to whom. Also, let me know via PM when you receive your gift. As a courtesy to your Santas, I suggest you also post words and pictures in this thread when you receive your gift.

Got my assignments. Whoever asked for airline stuff, I hope you like WestJet as I know someone that can get me stuff in their livery for a local flare.

Oh wharvey, you are like one of those made for tv movies where Santa gets discouraged, but rallies in time to make Christmas special, as always

Woohoo...got my assignment. Quick question, order already placed for this person (knew exactly what he wanted). I'm shipping directly to his home, but unfortunately, there is no note I can place in it. Is that perfectly acceptable? I'm shipping out of country, so wanted to save the double shipping costs on my end.

Yes, it is acceptable... if you want me to send a "warning" without outing you... I am happy to do that... just let me know via PM.

Yaaaaay! Thank you wharvey for taking the time to coordinate this. It is much appreciated.

And now I get to enjoy a santa underneath my handle.
