I show you received your gifts... so I am confused on that.

In addition, both your santas have confirmed receiving their gifts you told me you sent.

Checked my last package that was due for delivery on the 24th. Tracking hasn't updated in over a week so courier is assuming the worst.

Just sent you a PM regarding it Wharvey!

Santa has sent out messages to those who have still not confirmed shipping/plans to ship their gifts.

As you all know, you committed to ship to have gifts arrive before December 25th.

As of next week, I will begin suspending members who did not follow through on their commitments. I am not going to wait several months as I have in the past.

To my second Santa, if the package was sent via USPS and too large for a post box, it may be at my apartment office. Unfortunately, it seems like they only work like 12 hours a week, so I won't be able to check until the 30th if something's there.

Woohoo! No PM, so I must've been a good little elf this year.

Talking Thank you santa!!!!

I've never been motivated to post a picture so I don't know how. Sad, I know.

My SANTA sent my package very early but I wait until Christmas Morning...like all right-thinking people.

It's as if I sat on Santa's knee and rattled off a list of travel goodies I could use. Something tells me SANTA is a she.

Thank you for the wonderful Sholdit, Bubmcase, and two books on solo travel that will be read before the end of January.

Even the wrapping was lovely, hence my wish to learn a new technical trick: adding photos to FT posts.

Amazingly, I made it to Christmas this year before opening all my gifts. As I unwrapped my second amenity kit from my Secret Santa, I couldn't help laughing. ONLY a Flyertalker could appreciate and love an amenity kit as a Christmas present. Thank you to my Secret Santa for gifting me the items I asked for: Delta and British Airways amenity kits, a grater (I love to collect kitchen gadgets), an EWR shirt, and coins from Turkey and Costa Rica. And thank you for the local goodie - smoked salmon! Good thing it doesn't have to be refrigerated until opened! Would have made for a smelly Christmas morning otherwise.

Kipper, we all know about your little habit.

Ripping open the packages before the UPS driver gets back to his truck, not so good.

However, sending your packages out on time keeps you from going to "coal in the stocking" list.

Ho Ho Ho.

(Somebody with graphic arts talent really needs to make us a smilie in a Santa hat before next year's Secret Santa program)

At least I bring them inside first!

I received a very sweet note from one of my recipients! Thank you, AZinAZ, and you are very welcome!

Well I'm still missing one gift. All 6 of mine seemed to receive that I've read on here.
If I get shafted another time (it happened 3 years ago too) I won't be happy!!!! This year cost me a fortune in postage so fair is fair if you sign up to this.
