OK... Santa is still a bit tired...

Techgirl, the person you sent your gift to has been out of the country on an emergency... so they have probably not seen your gift yet.

Alanw, that same person had not shipped your gift before they left the country... I have been assured they will be back this weekend and will get it to you.

My sincerest apologies!

Santa

I just emailed with my Secret Santa, and little Daydream was daydreaming while she wrote email to Wharvey... I mixed my old and new street, which resulted in an "undeliverable".
Please excuse me for a moment while I go outside and hit my head against something hard...

Just getting to my gift now due to vacation.

WOW! my Secret Santa nailed a gift for me.

some secret sauces and a book that describes signature dishes and ingredients of almost every country/region. Traveling and food, what a combo!

Thanks, Happy New Year.

I'd like to echo that. This fun program could not have happened without the hard work of mjm and wharvey. Thanks for pulling this together for us!!!

Izzik and Alanw,

I am going to send another message to your Secret Santas... I am so sorry the two of you have not received gifts...

One of the Secret Santas told me they mailed a while ago... and I know the other had not due to an emergency trip.

Again, my apologies.

William

OK I guess I shouldn't criticize the post office! No Secret Santa gift but they did manage to get me a very nice thank-you card from my designated giftee (who's name I shall now reveal since we both know who we're talking about), MatthewClement.

OK.... I have been informed that the last gift has been shipped. Santa is very disappointed it has taken this long for the gift to be mailed... especially after being told several times it was going to be mailed the next day.

Hopefully Alan will get his gift quickly.

My public apology for the delay... that was not deserved.

I hope everyone else enjoyed the Secret Santa experience this year. I really apprecaited my helper MJM. Thanks!

If any of you have any feedback you believe would improve the experience, please feel free to post here or send me a private email.

Thanks again for all everyone did to make this a wonderful holiday season.

HO HO HO,

Santa
