Well, the thought occurred to me that maybe some great member here saw my interest in Peanuts and even though they weren't my SS, they sent me this stuff just out of kindness. If so, they had no way of knowing if my "real" SS had sent my package yet or not.

Ah, I love warm conspiracy theories on a cold morning!

It looks like someone really took the time to get to know you, Mike!
That is really neat! I guess you will have to wait and see about package 2 of 2.

I love the scrapbook. Someone took a lot of care with that.

yeah, wish my PO would send things for free!


Mike, those are great gifts, and your Secret Santa did a wonderful job making them so personalized.

I've had 2 gifts and still don't know who my SS is, so I definitely can't figure out who Mike's SS is

I really appreciate the work someone put into these gifts. I never expected anything so labor-intensive or personalized.

For what it's worth, between my roommate and I in college in 1971, we had every Peanuts book that had ever been printed.

Here... or There... Hmmm
Mike... I have two theorys.

1. Person lives near you and dropped it off

2. Person lives far from you and shipped it to someone near you and had them drop it off.

My hubby did some searching and from the "one" clue you gave (or hint) we found one person it could be (not saying which theory it goes with) but there is one person. I'm not saying, want to see what you come up with and so forth!! But that is soo cool the amount of care and time that went into that! Good Going SS!!!

I got my present today! I got my present!


There's a suspicious note with it that says "open now more to come later". Hmmmm.... is this true, or is this just a wicked ruse to lure me over to the darkside?
Oh the confusion! Oh the temptation! And just what kind of cookies do you have over there?

I haven't received my gift yet, but I can guarantee that I'll rip it open before I even have my coat off!
