I didn't recognize the last name on the box I received from Portland, OR today, but THANKS SANTA!!!! Since only one of the many packages that came in said box was marked "Do not open til Xmas" ... I opened the rest!! (I'm all about instant gratification 
)

To my Secret Santas:
THANKS for your gifts!! I am not opening mine until Christmas morning but wanted to say thanks and let all of my Santa's know that I have received their gifts!
To my gift recepients:
Your presents were shipped out today so be on the lookout for them to arrive right before Christmas (assuming the reindeer dont run late)

Thank you so much Secret Santa geogirl for both the Justgive.org gift certificate as well as the amazon.co.uk gift certificate - I usually use amazon.co.uk to get all my European pop goodies, so this will come in *quite* useful 
And to my Secret Santa that sent me an Angel Flight E-card... that was incredibly thoughtful of you as well.

To my Chicago-based Secret Santa:
Thank you for the Crane's stationary. Lined envelopes are a particular weakness of mine, so I'm pretty excited to correspond using the pretty stuff you sent! I love dragonflies and butterflies (in theory, not in practice, oddly) and the colors are also very "me." Thanks!!!

thanks to my colorado secret santa...guess the snowstorm didn't keep my treats from arriving. i actually put the package under the tree for about five minutes before realizing i could NOT wait until christmas to open this package. thanks for the groovy leg gel (it's so cool and had i seen it i'd have wanted it but wouldn't have bought it for myself) and i can't wait to try the thai red bull--will keep me merry throughout the holidays!
all that plus i get to go shopping at circuit city without guilt--thank you and a very merry christmas to you!
ditto to santa's elf for all his organizing, wharvey

Yummy. . .Secret Santa #2 sent a box of the handmade Williams-Sonoma marshmallows. Thanks Santa!
I have to say, it has been fun having packages and envelopes arrive this week filled with wonderful things -- it sure is making the grey and the rain seem manageable Thanks again Santas!

Thanks Santas.
Elf Dan delivered one in FLL
Another box just came from Santa in Las Vegas (I can't believe FedEx let that go through as a return address of wonderful stuff that won't last a week
And the other package is on it's way.
I do a lot of these secret santa things, and about a third the time I'm totally stiffed in them, that's never hapended here, and everything is stuff I can actually use, and love.
