Well, having sent stuff ive sold on eBay to France and Belgium, and had point to point tracking, i'm a bit disapointed that the packages ive sent to Germany and Finland seem to have gone into a black hole (in terms of online tracking). I hope they arrive safely.

I was told another package arrived for me. This one is from Hoosier Hill Farms, in an Amazon box.

Oh do! It is so convenient to be able to put snacks and a phone in your back pocket on the jersey. I also have a Cookie Monster jersey that I love.

All the shipping is finally done! My Santees should be receiving their presents very soon

I also picked up a package from Germany on Sunday, and received notifications of other two on their way. Saving everything to be opened on Xmas eve.

Many thanks to my SS who sent 5 Boston area food gifts including Fluff, Bread, Beans and Chocolate. And a gift certificate for Boston Market, conveniently located in the next town over. Very thoughtful gifts, thanks again!

Everything for my three Secret Santas went out. Two people had their packages go out via USPS today, and the other had a number of gifts shipped from Amazon. Several arrived today, and the others are coming in scattered lots. And I sent all tracking numbers to William so I can be known as a good Santa and not a bad one!

I don't know much about Canadian postal system, but my package has been "in transit" since Monday. The last location was Montreal and its destination is Toronto, does it take that long to get there???

Thank you Luitje! I received a wrapped package and card yesterday along with a mysterious email. I'm planning on saving the opening for Christmas but the email has me intrigued. I will post photos when the package is opened.

Yes they came from Zingerman's in Ann Arbor. I live about 45 minutes south of there and always have to make a trip there every time I go to A2. They sell this raw milk stilton I love that is made at Neal's Dairy yard in London, and I go to Neal's every time I go to London and mentioned to the person that took my order that I buy it all the time at a Deli in the US and he asked me if it was Zingerman's LOL. He has relatives in Detroit and makes a special trip to A2 every time he is in Detroit just to go there.

If you like Zingerman's and go to Vegas the Saginaw's Deli that recently opened up on Fremont Street in the Circa casino is owned by the same person and has a lot of Zingerman's sandwich's.

It didn't affect the taste in the least, though-and they are all gone now!
