Haven't visited here for a few days, but everyone is having a wonderful time! I do love taking part in all this, when you think how far apart we all are and how much joy and friendship we can bring to each other at this time of year, helping people who are unhappy, teasing and just having fun together. And all the cats are loving it too.

Have they received their gift yet? It is not a complete list, only a list of those who have posted their gift has arrived so far.

I'm still trying to figure out who my Secret Santa could be
I have it narrowed down to a few potential suspects, but I'm hoping I get more clues when I open the box on Christmas!

I've been having a few computer difficulties so these are late, but here we go -

First the inspector came to checkthe box



This doesn't smell like it is for me



Oh yeah, now we're talking!



We were thoroughly spoiled by Tracy.


Here is Abby's loot -



She received greenies, a catnip reindeer, catnip mice and most importantly, tissue paper.
The reindeer toy keeps disappearing and reappearing. She has been running around the house with it in her mouth, much to our amusement.

Here's what I got:







A really cute snowman container full of Hershey's Kisses. The caramel ones are really good.
A set of 4 Yankee Candle Christmas votives with a really cute snowman ornament on top.
I'm going to break into those soon.
A set of three body washes in Chocolate raspberry, Cinnamon apple strudel and creme brulee. They smell fantastic.
Two snowman ornaments - one that says Aaron, one that says Karen. I have a tiny tree that is all snowman ornaments, so these are perfect.
A pawprint ornament kit. It's really cute. I haven't been brave enough to try it yet, but I will. A beautiful Willow Tree angel holding a cat. I have the standing one already, so this is perfect.
A really pretty silver photo album.
There was also a cute Secret Santa card inside.

Thank you so much Tracy for being such a great Secret Santa. Abby and I love everything.

That's so sweet.

I got Lindor Truffles, mmmmm!! Comfy socks; a pedicure kit (must have researched the fact that I have awful feet ); three nail polishes, in red (one has hearts in it!); a personalized mouse pad with Spot's pictures ; the book Mutt's Shelter Stories autographed.
Spot got Crab flavored Whisker Lickin's which he has scarfed down; a catnip banana; fur mice; a Santa catnip toy.


The note on the side of the package:



Nosy rosey finding his gifts:


Spot literally tearing into his present; at this point I didn't know it was his:


This is my clue that should tell me who my SS is:


The plethera of gifts:


Spot's been asking for a catnip banana; he almost took my hand off:


Eating the banana:


Spot checking out the other loot:


The haul:


The autographed book which I absolutely cherish:


Thank you soooooo very much, Secret Santa! You did a great job and I am thrilled with the effort you've put into our gifts!
Those are great gifts.
Spot really seems to love the banana!

Thank you so so so so much Santa!!!!!

This is what was inside - a black tea sampler:



Nom nom nom!!! I've already had a cup of the Golden Monkey tea. It was absolutely divine! I think I may be visiting that website again to order more...
This is the description of that tea:



I LOVE black teas, and have a great little 1 cup infuser, so will have a fabulous time working my way through these
I'm so excited...


There was no clues whatsoever though... hmmmmm!!!!!
Those sound really cool.

Heaven forbid an SS package come for Abby without tissue paper!


One day I plan to get a couple of bananas for my two nipheads.

And that's a problem how?


Mine did the same. They just rolled in the catnip they scattered until I vacuumed that room, then played with the dead banana for the next few years.
