Thank you to SDQBound for even more reading materials (perfect for gray OH winters) and a Talking Heads CD.
Many many laughs and thanks to jsds for more books and 2 kongs for Pumpkin. I literally could not put the box under the tree because he kept pawing it!
I will find Pumpkin gifts. The nose always knows!
Love my Kongs

Actually, I gave you that cookbook last year. I never made anything from there that wasn't great! The white chocolate macadamia nut cookies are to die for, and the chocolate mousse pie is the fastest dessert to impress dinner guests or bring to a party, especially if you don't bake a crust. But I always do.

It's so funny...I knew we had been SSs in the past, and I thought that you may have given me that cookbook...but I thought, nah, could not be possible. Too many co-inc-ki-dinks. Guess I should have another glass of eggnog...since my radar is completely shot 
Thank you for both gifts....too bad we never met before I moved. Perhaps on a distant DO

I'm SO sorry SDQ, I thought I might have mixed up a gift (I admitted as much to wharvey when PMing him my gifts)....please know there was no ill intent....just a crazy awful stressful month. Thank you, though, my Bose headphones are in desperate need of a midlife freshening up...and your gift will do just the trick. Thanks again

I didn't get a picture but my daughter opened her art kit on Xmas morning and squealed. She loves it! She is so excited to have "grown up paint!" and I'm looking forward to her works of art

Big thank you to cwkc for the slim wallet and the HD webcam. Will definitely come in handy on my very first video call in Jan! Looking forward to not having to use my laptop's integrated webcam

Not very many people posted received gifts this year. A pity.
its a big thing for many.
I received 3 out of 5 santa shipments this year, hopefully the rest are on their way and not just lazy santas 😀 Had that happen before.
A big thank you to my three ontime santas and a big thank you to Wharvey for all the hard work you put into this great tradition

Hope everyone is having a lovely holiday time!
I need to apologise to my Santas for being a bad Santee. I have been away travelling, and manage to receive two of my presents (from Dark Blue and a mystery Secret Santa) before leaving. In the meantime the others might have arrived, but I have not received any notification - the post will usually call me, even instead of just ringing the doorbell.
I’ll be back next Monday, will be able to see what was delivered and will post ASAP to thank my Santas

But I did receive 2 bottles of wine! Can't wait to get to taste them, some Chocolates and hot chocolate mix, and another gift of chocolate with some t-shirts and a portable fan!

I love posting pictures of my gifts. But I have really bad slow internet, so I am beset by technical and speed issues. I love seeing pictures of everyone's gifts!
