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

Oh! What a interesting cookbook- and it combines two awesome things: cooking and craft beer. I'm guessing recipes inside must call for a specific type of beer rather than a particular brand?

Let us know what you cook!

Wait, after tomorrow you still *want* to cook?!? LOL

Thank you, Jordan (jcrew7384?), for the gift. I can guarantee you I'll use all these items :cool:

How cool!

I wish I could think of creative gifts like that! LOL

Send me all your info if you wish to participate again... Santa will figure things out.... he usually does! :)

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.

Santa Check In:

1. Do not assume when you get one gift that it is all you will receive. I have already received a few complaints that the gift received did not meet the minimum spend. In both cases, they had only received a portion of their gift in a first shipment.

2. Remember, you have to message me personally and detail what you shipped and received. Posting in this thread is NOT sufficient.

3. Send me a message with your information if you wish to participate when I do one final assignment.

Another box arrived today. :D It contained dog toys for each of the three kibblers, but Schultz stole all three. It also contained a 6-pack of Cape May Coastal Evacuation. All arrived unscathed, but one didn't survive through dinner. :D

It calls for a type of beer.

For the first time in years, I'm not cooking tomorrow. So, yes, I'll still want to cook.

I'm glad that the beer arrived intact and that one bottle has already been enjoyed :) Our dog loves toys that squeak and make scratchy noises. I hope that your other pups get a turn playing with them.
One more box is on its way to you.......

Schultz has already chewed the ropes off of the one and pulled out some of the scratchy stuff out of the same one. :D

Gifts received the other day and we'll wait until Christmas to open them up. The kids are pressuring me to open them now, but am teaching them delayed gratification. :)

Hey, noticed a photo of a certain coffee in your photo stream- Death Wish- DH gave that to me earlier this year from a business trip. Did you enjoy it?

HeadElf53 Nov 25, 2016 3:13 pm

I'm still waiting to hear back from kauppias. Are you around? It's been 10 days since my PM.

N.B. to Santa > they're killing us here in the workshop.

compubit's packages have been mailed. I hope the each recipient enjoys their goodie box!

Hint: if you live in France, Germany or Finland, you have a package on the way - please open the outer box - the goodies inside are individually wrapped, but there is a time-sensitive unwrapped food goodie for immediate consumption (it's a kitschy treat we get only once a year...)

How's that working? :D

kipper Nov 26, 2016 6:32 am

I came home from Black Friday shopping to find a box from Freeport, NY. Inside were two huge, glass beer steins that read Steelers. One had my first name, one had Mr. Kipper's first name. :D I love them! Thank you, BXIAN!

sperkins921 Nov 26, 2016 2:27 pm

The other half of my package was shipped yesterday and completes my Santee's gifts. One direct from Amazon- the other from home. Santa, expect a detailed report from this 'elf' via PM's!

Enjoy the weekend all!
