I guess this is my lucky Santa weekend-got home from lunch with friends to find this lovely Amazon package from Santa Sandra. The teas look great, and the Be Merry will be keeping me warm during my commute to work Tomorrow morning! Thanks very much!

I fully intend to let my Secret Santa (and the rest of the board) know when I receive my gift, but I do not plan to open anything until December 24.
PS - Is there a tutorial on how to attach an image? I'd love to include some photo of my gift when I receive it, but I have never attached photos on the board here before.

Well, Head Santa got some very disturbing private messages over the past week. I was called "RUDE" for requesting twice that the person complete the registration properly. He refused twice to provide an email address and mailing address. Guess he wanted to be a truly SECRET Santa.
Have to admit, it was the first time I have been so insulted..... one of the reasons I question doing this year after year.
And another reason I have chosen to not personally participate each year... even though I have sent out two gifts for delinquent Santas for the last 11 years.

Some of us love you!

You’re very welcome! Part 2 should be there on Tuesday via USPS. I didn’t have time to wrap them, so you can put the whole box under the tree to avoid any spoilers.

I plan to use an iPhone and a Mac, but if there's already a tutorial I can just go read it. I'm just not sure where to find it, but I'll start searching!

Head Santa Update.
I just sent out the final assignments for the stragglers.... and trying to correct an issue of someone sending to someone they were not assigned.
Please check your messages and get onto your assignments if you have not started. I know from past experiences that this gets away from people and then I have people who do not receive their gifts by the deadline.
Please remember that you MUST send me a private message on what you ship and receive. Posting in this thread is not sufficient.
NOW.... off to see if there is any way to find reasonably priced HAMILTON NYC tickets for Dec 20 - 24. Anyone have any secrets on how to make this happen other than the impossible lottery?

I apologize for anyone's bad behavior @wharvey -- you've made it quite fun and easy as a newbie to the event. And I loved it and hoped it continued.
I see my package is finally going to be delivered today, it was supposed to be last Wednesday. They eliminated a USPS distribution center near me and we've just had all kinds of problems since. I should have done FedEx Ground -- cheaper and quicker at this rate. Sorry giftee -- but at least you can see when I sent it.
If there are any last minute needs for another, I can jump in but if not one was enough (and fun) for me this year.

The wiki is not an official list maintained by wharvey. The official list is whatever his personal spreadsheet shows. The wiki is an unofficial list maintained by me (it says it right there at the top) with a list of gifts that have been opened and posted in the thread at the discretion of the recipients. I have no knowledge of who has shipped what to whom and who has received gifts.
