Unfortunately, that is now scheduled for 12/23.

On the the good stuff.

I have a Secret Santa that is extraordinary.

First there was a wonderfully wrapped box. The postman said it looked like a Christmas gift.



Cute little address labels.


Inside were little bags for the kitties and one big Santa size bag for me.



Each one received a treat bag.



Carly and Lucy were curious but Carly said "stay back".



Inside the Santa bag were all sorts of beautifully wrapped gifts.



While I was unwrapping, Carly decided she wanted help.



The Santa bag contents:

Some beautiful post cards from the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. A Tar Heels Pez dispenser and gum. The cutest kitty socks with the label Princess. A darling little cat pin, some matching notepaper and pads, a cat calendar, some catnip spray for the girls, gingerbread cookies, some yarn and a crochet hook.

There is one last gift that is still wrapped. My SS was so thoughtful to include something for DH and he will open it when he comes home.

And my Secret Santa has confirmed: Taurus77 and Spot. Thank you very, very much for the time and effort you put into this special gift.

Sorry to hear about your root canal, Jana, good luck with that, right before Christmas, too

Really nice things.


This pic is great

Nuh uh...might give me away!
I GOT IT! I GOT IT! But, I'm not 100% on who it's from....I know they're from Canada and their fave NHL team is the Maple Leafs...

But, the gifts were great!!! I'll post pictures soon...gotta find my card reader...:/

Speaking of secret santa's........I would just like to point out that your location says your not telling, yet you claim to be a Bears fan in Colt's territory. Where might Colt territory be, eh?

Ok, hopped onto my laptop, which has a built-in SD card reader,


Unopened package, ready to be...well, opened of course!!!



Oscar investigating...


Scotty joining in...


The haul...


The opened haul...


Scotty, staking his claim,




A BIG thank you to my SS! The scarf is soft and warm (in fact, I'm wearing it right now). The kitty statue/candle holder is adorable. Scotty loved the treats (Oscar...well, he's weird). Oscar has already taken the tails off the toy mice and is begging to play fetch. The hot chocolate will come in handy this cold winter. My husband begged for the Toblerones, and I'm keeping the Lindor's all to myself. The tapered candles that drip green wax are interesting, and I'm hoping to get tapered holders for them. And as soon as I get a chance, I'm going to open up the Toronto Maple Leafs ornament and place it on our tree.
I hope I got everything, and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!!

You are quite welcome!! I'm glad to see that the beds made it OK. I had to fold them up and stuff them into a bag to get them to fit the box. I was worried most about them.

And Moose Munch is about my all time favorite snack! I was so happy to hear you like crunchy chocolate covered things.

Btw - that big bag of starbursts came from Costco. When I hefted it off the shelf, I laughed and decided you needed it.

And I did stop myself from sending you some bath products!

Wow! Lots more great presents!


Katie, if your kitties love their new beds half as much as JinJin loves the one she got a couple of years ago, they're going to get plenty of use!

I got a prezzie!!!

OK, and
BAD Hubby! He didn't even tell me that I had a package waiting for me until we got home from going out to dinner.
He'd been home and talking to me via IM for an hour and didn't say anything when I asked if he wanted to meet me at the car to go out to dinner.

Anyway, Mojo wanted to help me unpack it.



The note says: "Happy Holidays from your SS! There is a clue in the box to who I am. This is only one, more will follow! Can you guess who I am?"

Inside was a boatload of bubble-wrap, and this cuter than cute little ceramic hanging kitty in green tissue paper!



Since the kitties didn't get any presents (yet) they made their presents out of the wrapping!

Trent and Ginger checking out the box and bubble wrap:


Mojo liked the tissue paper:


I have an idea on who my SS might be...but I'm going to wait and see if there are clues in the "more will follow". But THANK YOU SS!!

Toooo funny!! The things they do when we're not looking!

Carly looks like she is back up to snuff.
