Have a great time on your safari.

Got a box of goodies from southern Ontario & a couple travel gadgets from Santa today, will try & post pics later when on better technology. Thanks Santa!

Got something from Amazon about 2 weeks ago. Also sent my two presents out. Should have technically arrived, I think. No picture, I won't open it until Christmas!

Go to one of the wineries and see what they pay. Probably will be the least expensive route.

I pulled out of my garage today and there was an unassuming box that has been quietly delivered sometime recently. I wasn't expecting anything, but I also didn't think it was a gift from my Santa because it
had a local return address on it. Lo and behold, my Santa lives close to me (!), and got me an amazing gift just in time for Hanukkah - a trio of Spanish wines (in preparation for a trip to Spain I will be taking in a couple of months), a gift card to a wonderful local wine and cheese shop, and an adorable and so appropriate card! [MENTION=841434]gpy[/MENTION] - Thank you - thank you - thank you! This was a super fun gift - can't wait to try the wine and use the GC. You're the first FTer I've known in my local area - we should meet at Tusk & Cup for some coffee!!

So glad you liked it! I was surprised to see we are so close - would love to meet up at Tusk & Cup! Happy Hanukkah :)

So I come back home to find a package on my doorstep. ?? Wonder what that is... haven't ordered anything that should be coming today. Lo and behold - my secret Santa has delivered! What a wonderful treat on a chilly, rainy day.

It is a neat gift - an Asian snack box, full of all sorts of unique Asian treats. I travel a lot, I don't recognize any of them but then again, the writing is in Korean and Japanese. Also were some deep fried peanuts - you eat them shells and all - very unique, never heard of them but a nice taste. My kids wouldn't try them, but me and wife with thought they weren't bad.

As the sender was anonymous, here's a big Thanks to you!

Thank you PandaSoPink. I've been meaning to try the "holiday" limited edition Froot Loops, and will do tomorrow for breakfast :p I also am flying SW this week for the second time this year :sigh:, so will try to use the cocktail kit as well... https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...164c794f2c.jpg

Nothing new yet, but I got into the Xmas spirit secretly this morning as I drank my morning coffee from last years secret santa gift mug :D still in daily use

send it as a liquid yeast sample... thats what ive done for beer and wine in the US for years. UPS clerk i work with gets a giggle, but never had one returned or failure to deliver. just pack it real good so there no chance of breaking or leaking.

HeadElf53 reminds everyone to send their packages sooner, rather than later. The Elves don't appreciate when santa gets perturbed. ;)

Hope you're ok santa wharvey.

FYI, since the workshop is up to date :D, we're taking a few days off starting this Saturday - Thursday 12/9 - 12/13. If you need assistance with your Santee, now is the time to ask.

Thanks.
