So I've finally taken possession of my second secret Santa gift, but the late receipt was no fault of my Santa! I missed an email from late December which included an Amazon gift card (thanks Amazon for sending a reminder email!) and the delivery person hid the accompanying book so well that it went unnoticed until today.
So Santa, I'm very sorry for the late post, buy thank you for the gift card and the book on cold case crimes from Vancouver! It looks very interesting and I cannot wait to dive into it!

@MissChele thank you for all of the presents! We picked them up today, and the dogs about mauled us when we got home because they wanted the one box and all of the treats! Schultz won't stop bothering me because he wants them! I'm not sure if the shotgun shell socks were meant for me or for Mr. Kipper, but I've confiscated them if they were for him. 
The beer syrup is definitely interesting, and he'll enjoy cooking with that and the Beer Kitchen cookbook. Mr. Kipper has confiscated the Penguins calendar for his office.

Head Santa Update,
I am still missing information from many individuals.
As I indicated in my last notes:
1. If I sent you a message to confirm all gifts received and you did not answer me.... then I am assuming you received all gifts.
2. If I sent you a message to confirm shipping of all gifts received and you did not answer me... then I am getting ready to suspend you from Flyertalk.
I hate to go to these extreme steps... but enough is enough.

You are welcome! I thought a fellow MA reader might be intrigued about the Flood. @kipper, there was a local presentation at the Old South Meeting House, and that's how I found out about it. The book is a fascinating melange of Boston politics, the growth of the immigrant community and a good old fashioned suspense novel. Strongly recommend it. The candle came from my home state of Ohio and I thought the foam roller might be beneficial if you are training for another marathon while on the road. Funny story, I actually had a massage stick confiscated from my rollaboard once, so a mini foam roller now travels with me. Hope you and yours had a very merry Xmas....as well as all the folks on FT
And Happy Boxing day to our Commonwealth friends.

The Secret Santa gift I received was so good, I had to post my thanks again.
Just got around to trying out the huge box of k-cups, and it was close to perfect! The 40-count sampler had no duplicates, so I get to try many blends/brands of real coffee (not flavored which is not my fav).
My staff suspects I will demolish the lot in short order, and be on a very happy caffeinated buzz for the rest of the week!
Santa -- you ROCK!

After some complications, my second and final Secret Santa gift was opened today. Tons of unicorn stuff plus an awesome champagne flute called a Corkikle. Sadly l left Sweden before its arrival but Le Boyfriend was good enough to video chat with me so I could check out the goodies. I'll be picking them up next month. And be all cosy with my tea and unicorn onesie as well. Bwahaha.

For those who were interested in the Boston Molasses Flood, here's an interesting article. It discusses the book mentioned above.
