Perhaps my Santee is traveling and not at home to receive mail. SS mailed it a week ago and it was supposed to arrive last Friday. <sigh> Sure hope all went as planned from the USPS.

We just came back from holiday and I found a gift from santa at home. Thank you for my secret santa for nice gifts! My husband told me Seroogy's chocolate is pretty good and cannot wait to eat them tomorrow! I will use other travel items for next trip!

Dear Santa's,

I arrived home today and look forward to opening gifts on Christmas Eve...although the ( I am guessing wine and chocolates) may not make it :)

I'll post my goodies- to all thank you in advance!

To my other Santa - I have received your gifts via Amazon and will open and post on Christmas Day. These were clearly perishable and needed to be popped in the freezer. Hope you understand!

Girodano's...........that's one awesome gift!!! We were flying through Chicago a couple of years ago coming back from Mexico and staying at the Westin... We were told prior to arriving to check this place out - The wifey and I love pizza!! Long story short; It was late, we were in Mexico for 2 weeks so mucho Cerveza and it was super cold!!! We could see the sign from the Westin ( I hope I am thinking about the same place ) but were so darn tired that we just couldn't do it!!! Don't get to Chicago much and have always thought about that place!! Enjoy!! :D

Our friends (Chaicago ex-pats) used to store their order of a dozen pizzas each year in our downstairs freezer.

Good evening,
I wanted to follow up that I have received an ecard for the Alamo Drafthouse from SteveHK. As an Austinite, we like to refer to the movie theater as the Drafthouse. I look forward to part taking to see many new movies in the new year with this ecard.

Happy Holidays Y'all,
Sandra

Received a nice toiletry travel bag and cool pair of 3d virtual googles today. My Santa was kind enough to have them gift wrapped but since I am leaving to go out of town tomorrow for the holidays I was bad an unwrapped them. Looking forward to using the googles.

Just recently got a gear vr and love it. Just remember to clean it occasionally (which at points can be a tad tough), otherwise it just gets covered in filth and dirt and ruins the experience.

Hope you like them! (Despite me not even being the santa :p :D)

..Oh, and some people don't know this but you can even stream PC games to them too, which is even more insane.

I am delighted with the unwrapped presents - pistachios are my absolute favourite nuts, the globe ornament is getting a special place home and the chocolate Santa might or might not still be there - and I'm exercising some restraint as to the wrapped packages, saving them for Xmas. The card was a beautiful extra, and especially touching.

Thank you so much, Laguna1, for your gifts. I will post back after Xmas with the rest.

Yeah! I'm so happy the presents arrived safe and sound:) Hope you have a great Christmas:)

Follow up for miko2a - haha, I was debating whether it was meant as a scarf or a blanket!! Thanks for clarifying. :)

And thanks to my second Santa in New Jersey - got one of those spiky looking head massagers and a very nice smelling Arbonne hair masque.

I can see that one of my giftees has received 2 parcels with one mentioned here and third one due to arrive Thursday. The other giftee, well, the main gift is part way to where it needs to go, but my hands are tied and the giftee seem to have gone AWOL (not responding to emails), so not much I can do at the moment. 2nd "token" gift seems to have hit a customs hiccup and will be arriving one or two days after Christmas now - even with insane last minute delivery charges. :rolleyes:

So yeah, that's about it for me, I'll keep watching the thread for updates, but I think at this point it's just pretty much Merry Christmas everyone!! :)

2. Box of Angelina chocolates
3. A box by Amanda Epe ..”A Fly Girl Travel Tales of a Erotic BA Cabin Crew
