We're still waiting to hear back from 4 people that I sent messages to.

Here at the North Pole, we recognize the fact that Flyertalkers may be out of communication when on a business/pleasure trip.

It's a regular airplane. But it's one of those things that I've been interested in and just never done anything about it. There's an RC field about two blocks from where I live, so it all just fits together so well.

Santa Update.... Santa is getting in the holiday spirit... I left Georgia on Friday... arrived in Rochester NY for a week to help out an elderly friend. It was 71 degrees on Friday and Saturday.... and today we have over a foot of snow as I look out her windows onto Lake Ontario!

FYI: I will be doing one final set of assignments late next week. If you want in, you must have me your information no later than 5 pm on Friday, December 2nd. NO EXCEPTIONS.

If you are already participating and want additional assignments, please resubmit your information and tell me how many more assignments you want.

NOTE TO FIRST TIME PARTICIPANTS: You can only get an additional assignment IF your original recipient has confirmed receipt of their gift.

Such fun to see pics of this received gift! My nephew is a retired FA and thx to this sharing of gift pic I am no longer in a quandary as to what to give him this year. He's definitely getting airplane wine stoppers and airplane corkscrew! Thx for the inspiration.

My Santas have been busy! BXIAN sent me this yummy cookbook, which touches on my love of cooking and my love of beer! Up for this weekend: figuring out what recipes I'm cooking on Saturday and Sunday, after my in-laws leave. I should probably note that Mr. Kipper leaves to go hunting on Sunday, so he may not sample much.

Then, Strawbearlyjamms sent me a PM indicating that I'll be receiving a few packages!

Aren't you supposed to wait until Christmas to open presents?

Has this ever happened to you. You send a PM (private message), and the person you're sending the message to doesn't accept PM's??

If you're one of those posters here that don't have PM's set up, please do so. I couldn't contact someone (BeautifulEva) to let them know there gift was on the way (unwrapped). Be on the lookout. This is the message that your Secret Santa wanted to send. Other details have been left out of the above.
This means you BeautifulEva and sandratravels. The elves have questions for you; so if you don't want coal, please send me a PM so I can forward your message.

Our front desk person (yes, this is Flyertalk, so we have someone at the front desk) reminds anyone sending me a PM to include your Santees screen name. I can't forward your message without knowing who to send it to. Please don't make us make additional inquiries.

Since the workshop is all caught up, the elves are taking Thanksgiving off.

HE53.

Enjoy the cookbook, Kipper! While I sent gift #1 out early, I figured that this would be a good long weekend for trying new recipes. Santa is not done with your gifting-more on the way

Shopping is all done for me and my two gifts will be sent out when I make a trip down to the US this Friday.

Hopefully they will get them early next week and enjoy them!

What if the recipient isn't communicative? Can we provide tracking info in lieu of that? It would suck to miss out because your Santee is on vacation, business travel, or otherwise just not responding.
