Actually, there are probably a few "boys" around here who still have white, sparkly, kitty porn balls, so really, you were just making an observation!

I did hear that I can find a kitters' stocking in my box, so I may let the kids investigate that. After all, I should not inflict my personal preferences on my kids - I shall let them make their own decisions!

That sounds like a reasonable compromise.

FYI...I will not cross over to the dark side

so don't you be sending me trick messages telling me that "it's okay to open the present early...I am wise to these tricks,

and will not fall for them!

Cosmo, you cutie... There are goodies for you and the sisters in that box meowmy got....

Did you say where the postmark was from?

 

[valanhb]

At the rate I'm going, my SS package will be overnighted on December 23rd.

But it WILL be sent, I promise!!

Great prezzies so far! I think if I let my kids make the decision, they would just open everything.

They may not care what's inside, but I do have two paper shredders and at least one who is obsessed with ribbons and bows. I don't think the poor package would stand a chance - especially if 'nip were involved anywhere in the package!

Jeez, I saw this thread and couldn't believe someone already received their SS gift in September. Needless to say, I am late again this year! Is it too early to sign up for next year?

Kitters??? But her's is hanging where I've had it all year!? Better check that no one stole it and sent it off!

Ok, and now finally the pics I promised.. Been really busy but got a little time now!



Here is the gift being inspected by border partol.

My camera ate the two pics I had of everything wrapped all pretty and the one of the chocolate up close but, here's one with the last unopened gift that Kitters was trying to keep from me!

You can see all the goodies in this one except the Sudoku book still wrapped.
From left to right: On the purple box (which is my box of greeting cards) is the chocolate!!

The brown smaller one is a Godiva dark chocolate with extra dark ganache, the green bag is Russel Stover german black forest truffle

(I had some of those already!) Behind Kitters you can just see the top of the folding mirror with the Korean scene on it. It's really cute, wish it showed better. Then you see, partially, Kitters 5 pack of colored mice, then her four pack of colored pom pom balls. Then there is the green kitty ornament and the pack of cinnamon tea light candles from Yankee Candle. They smelll so good! And of course under Kitters is the Easy Sudoku book! That thing is fun! Behind Kitters bootie is her three plastic jingle bell balls, you'll see then in another pic.



Kitters still keeping my last present but knocking down the pom pom balls to try and get them out!


Here is me taking a picture of the super cute kitty ornament and Kitters taking the ornament!

Here's all of Kitters new toys! 4 pom pom balls, 5 colored mice and 3 plastic balls with jingles inside!


My mouse mom!!

So those are the pics I promised guys! I love it all and Kitters does too! I use that book almost every night and Kitters hasn't even lost one ball yet, she's had all four pom poms out since, I put her other toys except one mouse in her toy box so she has something later to play with too!

Thanks again Beth!

I just got the mail and there is a package for pickup at the post office for me I am sooooo excited!! I already had a post from one of the snooping santas that I was alloed to open my package, but I would feel too guilty opening it before I send out my SS's gift.

I am picking up the package after work tomorow *grin* I'll take pictures

 

[karmasmom]

All these gifts are really getting me in the spirit. They look great.

To my SS I will be sending out your gift in a couple of weeks. Don't worry you will get it in time. Just be patient.

 

[AbbysMom]

Great gifts so far everyone!

I will most more at length later and tell folks things I recieved. Bradley is going to be waking up soon for his diaper change and a feeding and DH and I still haven't had dinner (8pm here).

But THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

C'mon!!! Where are the details?

We want details!

It did help that I left it home over the holidays.

Maybe tonight.....


There is also the guilt factor. I haven't sent my gift out yet. I don't want it to arrive too early.

OPEN OPEN OPEN

I, of course, hate them because there's little sparkly fibers all over my house and I'm constantly having to vacuum (even more often than usual for three long haired cats) to get them up!!!

I agree with what the others said about Wal-Mart. Abby loves those things. The ones in Wal-Mart are made a bit better and the sparkly fibers don't fall out as much.

So Tari, tell us more about your workplace. It sounds a bit interesting.

You've still got plenty of time. It's not even December yet.

 

[frisk]

Everyone is receiving such nice gifts!!

OPEN OPEN OPEN!

 

[trouts mom]

DANG, I am kicking myself that I didn't enter this year... And what did I miss it for!!? NOTHING!

I'll be signing up next year..I can't wait!

 

[taurus77]

I stepped out of my door heading to work this morning and I had a package on my doorstep!!

I got soooo excited, ran back in with it only to find out that it was something I had ordered and had forgotten about.

Dang!! Thought my SS gift had arrived.

But its okay--I'm not on the dark side, so it really wouldn't have mattered. I will wait to open it anyway.

Yeah...right!!!

Spot and Poops won't let you wait, and they always get their way!!

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Well I just got a clue via PM saying that my present was on it's way from "Santa's grotto"!!!

Oh and just so you know my Dear Secret Santa, I am firmly planted on the dark side and thoroughly excited!

 

[sibohan2005]

I recived my package last night and I am being very good at not opening anything until I figure out the clues.

My SS lives in Texas, Near Fort Bragg and According to the BOLD letters in my clues I am being wished a "Merry Christmas From Lexi" Who is a beautiful calico.

I have sent a message to the person I suspect I'll let you know if it pans out!

I'm leaning toward the dark side...... but I can't open anything until I get home tonight I will take pictures!
