Sorry you feel that way.
Made my point. Given my history w/ SS, I actually AM ok having said that these gifts were thoughtless.

I'll go with Grinch You guys are super early this year .... I haven't finalized the gift yet, much less bought it, wrapped it and mailed it. Guess I need to get moving. I do have part in hand, but need to finish it off.

I'm in the same boat - making progress, but not all components purchased and wrapped. It is only December 4, and I am moving. "Plenty of time!"

WOW, I think my secret santa wins the award for speediest delivery! I was part of the "wave 2" names which were distributed on Wednesday, so hadn't really expected anything for a couple more weeks. I arrived home today to find a package on my doorstep with a literal tower of goodies inside. Chocolates and cookies and all manner of yummy awesomeness in a decorative gift box set.
To whoever my secret santa is: well done, and well executed! I'll be enjoying this gift for weeks!
And to my giftee, even though you don't know who you are: I'm working on it. I may not be quite as fast, but I hope you like it all the same.

Well I'm hoping Santa's elves (ie, Fedex, UPS, etc) will be doing double-duty. I've been called out of town unexpectedly to help w/ elderly godmother who had eye surgery & am 'up north' (no, not that far north) w/ no i-net at her house, so having to drive 'to town' to even access i-net at a local coffee house that isn't always open. It's a small town, so no joy on getting my SS recipients gifts here. Will be back briefly at home for a few days & hope to get it done there, otherwise I'll be depending on Fedex to come through on 12/24 as I'll be up north most of this month. Cheers.

I received my package from my Colorado Springs Secret Santa today! I am debating whether I should try to be "good" and wait until Christmas to open. Meanwhile, I'm shaking the box and guessing.
