Thank you Santa!

BTW, there really is a North Pole NY. But there's a branch in White Plains too!

I finally got to open the box that's been teasing me for a couple weeks now... and the beautiful embossed leather travel wallet couldn't have come at a better time, as my old one is really falling apart!

Thanks, Santa, for the very nice ray of Sunshine!

A thankyou also to my Secret Santa. It was such a treat!

I was so excited this morning when I collected the e-parcel from my local post office.

Nigella Lawson's "Feast". What a wonderful guilty pleasure!!

Whooo-hooo!

SS came today and really started my holidays off in a great way! A combo of real-life help and entertainment. I haven't stopped smiling since it arrived.

Even better since I had the chance to meet my SS (unbeknownst to me) on a recent trip.

Thanks Santa, and a big thanks to William the Elf!

Then again... mail from HNL does take what...? 4 months by canoe... So expect your gift by April!

You are fantastic! You truly turned a freezing cold day in Chicago into a warm, happy one! A thousand mahalos!

dmfriedman: How did you know????

I searched for your posts for clues, but almost all of them were moderator related so all I knew was that you travel a lot. Hope it's a good gift.
I found a computer in my room at the Alladin so I was able to get to Flyertalk. I AM LOSING MY SHIRT IF ANYONE CARES. I made donations at every hotel so far.

First of all I want to say for those of you who are still waiting for your SS gift. I just sent mine out today. It should be there by early next week.

I want to thank my SS for the Goodman Theater gift certificate! It was very thoughtful!

Funny story- I recieved a postcard of Graceland with a SFO postmark. It said Greetings from your flyertalk Secret Santa! I just thought to myself huh? How strange. As I was going through my mail I had the Goodman Theater envelope in the junk mail pile ready to throw away!

I figured I would open it and see if anything good was going on there. Low and behold it was a gift certificate to the Theater! WOO HOO! Thank you Secret Santa! I really have no idea who my SS is but it someone who knows Chicago and theater!

Thank you!
