I deserve the worst participant of the year. Wingless sent me a beautiful vintage bottle of champagne which we enjoyed sipping before Christmas dinner today. Thank you so very much Cheri!
And in answer to Marysunshine, it's amazing what you disclose in your Flyertalk postings. I can only tell you that I was going to include some salsa & chips and also some ambien. I figured the chips wouldn't travel well, and, well, ambien's a prescription, I found out.
Merry Christmas all you Santas.

Santa has finally recovered....
For those of you who did not get your gift yet, be patient... I am hoping some Secret Santas were just a bit slow this year... especially for those of you who had "out of country" Secret Santas...
BTW... even Santa has not received his gift yet...
Feel free to send Santa an email if you have still not gotten your gift and he will send some emails to follow up for you!
I want everyone to be happy with this experience.

WELL... Santa just got his delivery from the USPS!!!
Thanks to my SONY California Secret Santa...
The Brookstone masager is nice... I will have to use it discretely so that Mr. Santa Hubby does not think he is replaced...
The two gay-themed DVDs were perfect as well... one of my favorites and one I have not yet seen. YIPPEE!!!
Thanks again,
Santa

I waited until the 6th day of Chanukah to begin enjoying my gift. To my Santa: The chocolate is divine, and the coffee is out of this world. THANK YOU!!!

I opened my gift from my secret Santa last night (7th night of Channukah). Perfect gift for me - Barnes & Noble Gift Card.
Here is the funniest part of this entire thing. . .I thought all along that my Secret Santa was AJ (due to all of the Christmas e-cards from Scotland online). . .tonight, in chat, I learned that my secret santa was wharvey. I only learned it since I was telling him that I had my thank you card in the to be mailed pile for Monday. . .we are wondering how long it would have taken AJ to say "wth?"
Wharvey - you did a GREAT job all the way around! Thank you!

I want to thank my secret santa, who is from the UK. I arrived back from Christmas in Maine to find a BA 747 and Concorde model. They are now featured prominently with my Herpa and Schabak airplane models in my bookcase in the living room.
(mom and dad got me a USAirways 767, 500 scale)
Hopefully my secret santa person in the UK get's his soon. It was definitely mailed.

Just wanted to say thanks to my Secret Santa - sorry I went out of town again on 12/23 and your package arrived 12/24!! So I wasn't able to pick it up until this evening.
Thanks for the Malaria Capers -- I was just about it buy it a few weeks ago, glad I didn't! And, the treeled, well, being a single guy, it'll be my Christmas tree for years to come!

Still no word... I'm going to have my assistant track the Fed Ex tomorrow. I'm really worried it didn't arrive now.

Techgirl,
The person who you sent a gift to posted on this thread that they received their gift...
and I just talked to your Secret Santa via email. Turns out an emergency took him/her out of the country... but he/she has not forgotten you.
