Yesterday I received a package filled with a perfect arrangement of presents from my Seattle Secret Santa. Only one of the presents was wrapped, so that went under the tree. I loved EVERYTHING in my package. It was almost as if I had decided to send a package of presents to myself. Perfect.

I then had the additional present of spending 40 minutes figuring out the identity of my Seattle based Secret Santa. That was a fun puzzle bonus!

In conclusion, Thank You!

Thank you Santa's Helper and thank you SS for helping me identify the blues singers on the cd you gave me as part of my gift. Even my husband who is a long time blues afficionado had difficulty identifying some of the songs! (Good thing I downloaded to my iPod as the cd seems to have disappeared from my desk!). By the way, I have wanted to travel to Bangkok for a while and the travel guide will come in useful in the near future. Sandy

I have gotten some great gifts so far! including several gift certificates (one to a local gift shop that I LOVE shopping at!), a fun olive oil can (think Wizard of Oz), a culinary herb calendar, and a very intriguing looking cooking rub/glaze.

I also sent out my gifts this weekend - will PM ya wharvey!

Thank you SS for the grilling supplies! ^ They will be put to good use - very soon!

That is as soon as I chop off the ice from the weekend storm from my back porch - I did shovel the snow from around the grill after last week's storm. Now the ice from this weekend! :mad:

Hey! If Santa's not to busy, :confused: He must have lots of experience with snow and ice up at the North Pole - and that will give him a nice flat place to land! :D (I would not want him to fall off an icy roof! :p)

Got it! Nice!
 

I have received my (first-ever FT! ) Secret Santa gift! :-::-::-:
It hit the spot since I love Native American Tribal Art! It's a World Guide of all of the different ones, with detailed explanations of each! And I have to say that since I'm from Seattle, but over here in Seoul, Korea most of the time, I really loved the "Northwest Coast" chapter! Now I'm homesick! ;)

Thanks so much Secret Santa!! :)^

PS: Apparently I received the package about two weeks ago, but I have been traveling and didn't pick up my mail much on the military base! I'm sorry it took me so long to get the grateful "thank you! " on here!

Thank You!
 

Thanks for the cufflinks and the desk toy. I will be wearing the cufflinks soon, I'll just need to wait on the executive desk to display the toy (hopefully that won't be too long)!

I think it arrived over a week ago but I just got home last night, sorry for the late response!

Merry Christmas! :D

SANTA REQUEST:

I have a last second request for someone who would like to participate... even though gifts would not arrive until after Christmas.

If anyone would like to participate.... let me know in the next 24 hours.... Santa wants to make everyone happy! You can participate again if you want!!!!!

Santa just sent notices out to everyone who I do not have private messages from indicating they have shipped. Remember, I need a private message when you mail and receive your gifts....

Santa needs to keep his good and naughty list up to date!

Well... Santa just got a nice gift... not sure how I will explain it to my partner who is even MORE of a fan than I.... :)

Here is what I got.... :)

100 points = 1 Free Ticket to a New England Patriots Home Game (Gillette Stadium Foxborough) with your Secret Santa. Plus Beer and Food.

Sent my gift off today. My friend was not due back in the country until today

Chris

My Secret Santa gifted me with an upgrade to use for my trip to Europe next year (well, the US portion of it)...and since I am flying across from Seattle to the East Coast...that's a good-sized gift!

Love you, Santa! I am even MORE looking forward to planning my holiday than I was before!

Wow! Very nice! Happy Holidays!

Just received my 3rd SS gift.. they smell so nice that I want to freshen my linen closet (and not use them!). :) Thanks!

I just got my SS gift! Thankyou SS in Hong Kong!!! The 3CD set of St Germain Jazz is great - its fitting my mood perfectly at the moment. I havent ever seen the Micheal Crichton book you sent - I'm going to try to save it until AFTER I have finished getting the house ready for the visitors...DOUBT that is going to happen though!

Last One Out
 

Just air mailed out the last gift. All done now.

Cheers,
SC
