Consider yourself elf-ized (like deputized).

I was going to suggest that you save some of that IPA, but I did not want to spoil the last surprise

LOL, I did save a few, and even kept Mr. Kipper from taking them hunting with him!

Just got a visit from corporate security... the gift box my SS sent set off the security xray alarm indicating a nefarious object was in the box. So I had to open two of the carefully wrapped presents for training reasons. Turns out the bluetooth speaker set off the alarm.

Anyways, thank you my SS for all the many presents. It looks like you definitely went over the minimum limit! I will take it home today and leave the unwrapping to my two boys

Good morning,
I have completed my Secret Santa shopping for this season. It was a lot of fun. Hope my Santees like the gifts I have picked out for him.

Wharvey,
I have sent you an individual PM for each Santee. Please let me know if you need further information from me. Thank you once again for coordinating another fun year of Secret Santa for us.

HeadElf,
I have sent you an individual PM to follow up on your request for more information from me. I wanted to let you know I have not received any PMs from anyone other than Wharvey for my Secret Santa assignments. If you still need to reach me, please send me a PM.

Happy Holidays & Cyber Shopping everyone.

Sandra

sandratravels, my last PM from you was several days ago.

According to my records, I'm all caught up with my PM's. If anyone hasn't heard back from me, please contact us up here in the North Pole.

Thank you Secret Santa!

This is my first year participating in Secret Santa, but long-time FT'er. I just received notification of my gift from my secret santa! The gift email had a real name on it, so I edited it out in case my Santa doesn't want to be outed. It's a 6-month subscription to Birchbox! I'll get to open Christmas presents once a month for the next 6 months! I'm soooo excited and can't wait to get my first box! Thank you!!! ^ ^ ^

Oops! I was trying to give it anonymously but I forgot that since I have my own subscription it would do that. I'm so glad you will enjoy.
Be on the lookout for a couple other items.

Hahahaha!!

Judging by all the clever gifting that has gone on- your elves needed all the help they could get. Some busy work going on up in the North Pole this year for sure

Shopping done and PMs sent to Wharvey as requested. I think this is by far the earliest I've ever completed my assignments

The contents of the SS parcel I got yesterday.

Wonderful gifts, no card or sign of my SS though. So thank you much, dear SS! ^
