William,
I would be happy to be a substitute Santa for someone. Just send me the info.

Thank you Santa!
 
A package from Santa (the one with elves in Montana) was received at my office on the 2nd. I was just now able to get in to pick it up.

Thank you for the assortment of chocolates, a "kippie bag" (not the true ziplock variety) full of all sorts of travel toiletries, CD of christmas carols, and some other interesting 'not exactly liquids, and not quite gels' that I intend to use on a regular basis. Lest I forget, also, the hard-to-find Ricolas!!!

Thanks again for your thoughtfulness, and please excuse my late response.

You know I am available! I don't want any of Santa's Elves to go without!

To my secret santa from Poland:
Wow - the wines, cheese, and chocolates that you brought back were amazing. Thanks for the explanation that accompanied them.

To my secret santa who sent the Harry and David Sympathy Basket :
Thank you for sending this to me, but am I really in need of a sympathy basket? As a reference point for future years as I assume that you are a new santa: a little bit of thought and customization would be a nice touch for your future recipients. The pears and cheese were tasty.

I'm sorry, but: :rolleyes:

Do you really respond to folks in real life this way? If you receive a present from a friend or a co-worker, do you give them "tips" on how to be better at gift-giving?

Thank-you .....
 
Thank you for the assortment of chocolates, travel toiletries, Christmas spray scent, CD of christmas carols, and the Ricolas! The carols are really good and I am sure I'll get lotsa play time out of it next Christmas.

Thanks-again and Cheers,
SC

Can I ask that everyone let Santa deal with any "non-responsive" elves...?

This thread should be about the great gifts received... and what joy you received as well.

If you are unhappy, I am personally sorry... but you may just want to let me know privately and I will share it with your giver...

Trying to keep the holiday spirit going a bit longer..... Santa was out doing some shopping today for Christmas 2008. :)

Word up, Santa! I'd like to say that I puffy heart love my Secret Santas this year. I got some killer travel books that are going to keep me busy for quite a long time with fascinating tales of faraway places, a very cool agate photo frame, and the superb and NEW National Geographic book, "Journeys of a Lifetime : 500 of the World's Greatest Trips," which is getting so much attention in my house, it's ridiculous. :)

And I'm kind of excited that I'm already thinking about next year and what kind of mischief I can get into for my Santas. :D

You don't have to be organized- just keep your eyes open for cool stuff and good deals. :)

I was out shopping today and quite frankly, kept seeing things that would be perfect if I were still shopping for my Secret Sant..ee :D

^ I like that! I've never known what to call the person I am sending a gift to. From now on, they are a Secret Santee.
