Thank you Santa. It’s a cold rainy day so I’m cozy in my new Whalers hoodie! I’m also excited to wear it to Whalers Night at the Dec 19th Canes game!

From the Office of HeadElf53.
If you receive a PM from the screen name posted on the left, please answer it. I realize some of you may be away on business or vacation; but if you want to drive the person that asked me to get involved and getting additional info from you, your tardiness will postpone a timely gift. Just sayin.
Santa wharvey, I noticed that not everyone on the list has posted to the thread announcing their participation. The Elves perceive this in a SMH way??
Have a nice Thanksgiving everyone. This year I'm treating the Elves to a nice glass of mull wine and eggnog.

I received an envelope from a Santa today. Said Santa included a very sweet card, along with a generous gift card to a brewery near me. Since I recently moved, and then have spent the last six weeks unable to drive, I've not been able to check out any breweries near me. Now that I'm cleared to drive again, I'm looking forward to checking out said brewery! They also indicated I should expect another gift to arrive in December.
Thank you, Santa from Washington!

Yay, got my first secret santa gift today. Arriving from The Philippines. Super excited, yet will wait to bring it for under the Christmas tree when I go back to Denmark. Thank you in advance, and a picture with the content to follow when it is time to open Xmas gifts.
PS, It was also the day that I got my first gift sent out. Almost ready to send two more, and fighting a bit with a website for the 4th and final one.

Incredible gifts
Just got my gift from PandaSopink, who got me an incredible bottle of wine and whisky.
The Marques de Riscal Rioja is such a great bottle, and I cannot wait to try it, whilst the Glenfiddich 12 is also an amazing selection
Thanks so much!

Got two more Santa gifts shipped today only one to go.
It is not spreading a lot of Xmas joy on the sender side. Even UPS does not offer shipping from Japan to destination country. So, 300 USD shipment costs, or 1 hour trek in each direction for drop off at a more reasonably priced option.
I hope the gifts are well received on the other side
