Please remember to PM wharvey both when you ship your gifts (with contents and tracking for each recipient) and when you receive your gifts (with contents and a name for your santa if possible)!

Posting photos:
Alternatively: Upload your image to somewhere on the internet (a list can be found in the wiki here, and I also can recommend imgur). Once the image is uploaded, right click on the image (control-click or click with two fingers for those of you with macs), click on "copy image URL". Then in your post in this thread, paste the image URL that you previously copied between two image tags, so the result looks like:
[img]your URL here[/img]

There is no "gifts sent" part this time around-PM your sent gifts to wharvey! (though feel free to post it in the thread)

Gifts Received
Please please please PM wharvey when you have received/opened your gifts!
Include pictures if you can-and please only link to posts once you have unwrapped your gifts!

Getting excited! Got two more parcels today - one at the door from Indigo (I was actually home to answer it?!) and 90 minutes later got a notice to head to the post office for another one from Amazon!

As mentioned above, I'll be hanging on to them all for Friday morning, but regardless of what's in them, thank you to my Santas - this year simply receiving the parcels counts for a lot.

And a shout out to a Super Secret Santa who saw a previous post of mine and sent a gift without even being a part of the official FTSS this year. That was very touching and I thank you.

Sorry for the delay in posting, but I got another comedy book in the mail a few days ago: "Here's the Kicker." I'm assuming it's from the same anonymous Santa who sent me "Poking a Dead Frog." Both of the look like great reads!
And to whichever Santa sent me the Chinese food gift card: it's already being put to great use! Thanks!

I received 2 packages in the mail today from SS andersonlutt. One was via USPS Priority Mail and the other from Amazon. Looking forward to opening and sharing them on Friday!

Overall, this has been a really fun experience, thank you!

UPS delivered a package from EBags to my front porch on Sunday. It's confirmed it was in fact from my very secret Santa. Inside was a Osprey flapjack day pack. What was amazing was it's the same color as two of my other Osprey travel bags. Which is why I initially thought it had to be from someone I knew. Thank you secret Santa. It's perfect.

And I also received my final gift yesterday. I just can't wait to open these! This one was from my secret Santa in PA. I received a beer jigsaw puzzle. Which I can't wait to start. With all the rain we've been getting it sounds like the perfect rainy day activity. Also a Budapest city guide, I'm going next October and some Bath and Body works products. Love everything. Thank you secret Santa.



Also, Thank you Wharvey. Great fun and great gifts this year.

Thank you eunduklee!

Thank you very much eunduklee for the awesome gift basket and hand written card. I'm looking forward to taking you up on the offer for Korean BBQ since we're basically neighbors; thank you again!

I hope you (and everyone on FT) have a great holiday!

Thank you Montreal SS

Arrived home from the office to find two packages.

The only package opened yesterday were the amazon bags my daughter wanted to use as a purse. They contained a kids travel story and coloring book that was perfect match for my 2 & 4 year old.

The other box was filled with fun and anticipation. A set of legit Christmas poppers suprises included and what appears to be a book. But opening will have to wait for Xmas Day.

Thank you SS!

You're welcome and I hope you have a great Christmas and New Year. If you're ever passing through my part of Switzerland there are plenty more whiskies to try

Frohe Weihnachten!
