Jill loves to figure these out.

My SS santee already found me out...my clues were too easy!

 

[alleygirl]

My only clue is a return address of Houston, TX

I couldn't see any kitty fur in the package, so can't track them down my color

Well, that's embarrassing. Especially since I lived in Texas for 5 years.

I was born a dark sider, so it was probably never more than a rhetorical question, but I was at least pondering it. Tiny had no such reservations and began chewing the wrapping paper off right after I posted:


Here's my human loot:


The gifts are:

• The Texas Rangers hat shown earlier
• A Dallas Mavericks T-Shirt
• A cute cat wall calendar by Gary Patterson
• The book "Homer's Odyssey", which is about a blind cat. Very cool, because 1) I haven't read it yet and 2) I have a nearly blind cat.
• A giant Hershey's chocolate bar which I'm sitting here NOMing on right now.

The cats enjoyed my presents, too. Tiny played with the wrapping paper for a while...


... then got bored and lay on the box for a while ...


... and Thufir took her place on the wrapping paper.


Last (and probably least), here I am with the hat and the T-Shirt on. Sorry if I look like a serial killer in the photo, but it's hard to hold the camera in one hand and get a good self-portrait.


Many thanks to you for all the great presents, mrblanche. Mine were great and the kitties loved just about everything - the box, the wrapping paper, and even the actual kitty presents.

Such excellent gifts!

I think it is great that Tiny was so willing to encourage you to be a Darksider

great gifts everyone!!!!

I still haven't gotten mine

I have a feeling this is a diabolical plan to make me crazy coming from the higher-ups

I don't doubt it!

My Secret Santa is very sneaky!

Kass (Russian Blue) came for a visit today with a package from my SS!

It included a cute recordable teddy bear, treats for the kitties (and me too) and a bird feeder shaped like a Christmas wreath. We back into the woods so I'm sure the birds here will love it!

I tried to get Kass to reveal your identity but she wouldn't budge! I will find you out SS!!

 

[sillyjilly]

Ohhh sneaky!!!
So, do we get pics of the stuff and the meet?


And with the Houston, TX clue, I have two people in mind... HMMMM... we'll see if I was right in the end!

I'll take some pics of the goodies later on tonight or tomorrow. Kass did however bring her camera

 

[sillyjilly]

Ohh.. another question.... Is is possible that Kass was your SS and just trying to throw you off her trail? Some people here are so sneaky, or maybe, she really isn't but your SS wants you to suspect her? Oh gosh, maybe it was shipped to her from someone else who got it from someone else yet, and she doesn't even know who your SS is!!???

I just wish I knew when they shipped mine or if they even have shipped it. DH is getting antsy thinking I won't get anything. You know how men are... LOL, he did that last year too.

That's awesome! How very sneaky!

Now, just when I thought I couldn't get spoiled enough, ANOTHER package came in the mail!

This time it was a box of Endangered Species Organic Chocolate - milk and dark chocolate. DH and I have already scoffed one bar down, and it was so delicious. There is nothing better than good quality chocolate, and we've had a busy weekend - came home exhausted and had the chocolate with the cup of the English Breakfast tea Helen previously sent and it was heaven

I'd show a pic, but the chocolate didn't last long enough before I ripped it apart and started eating it

 

[jack31]

I am getting worried mine is coming either...I get so paranoid sometimes.

Ha! I don't doubt it! Those higher-ups make everyone a little crazy.

Jill, you're making me dizzy! You kill me!

Tracy's SS wanted me to deliver the present so no shipping clues could help her. But, I had no problem with that....I needed an Ava fix!

I will give one clue to Tracy - your SS is female! No more clues for you!

.........

And to my SS, sorry I haven't shipped anything to you. But, not to worry. I am so against the darkside and the 'lightsiders' really needs some support this year. Plus, we have a whole 12 days before Christmas.....plenty of time!

Oh, dear! I am so ensconced in the Darkside that 12 days seems like a really long time. Consider this: Draco Malfoy was my favorite character in Harry Potter. Draco Malfoy fan = Darkside = I want my pressie!!!

I promise I'll be good. I won't open it...that's right...I won't open it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
