I did the same thing!
(Only I have to take my mind off the one I am sending to my Santee.) But you do have a tremendous wait if you aren't going to open until Christmas. You're a braver soul than I....

I want to be a lightsider this year. I just have an unusual lack of willpower. Something will take over when that box arrives and the next thing I know I'll be sitting in a sea of torn wrapping paper.

I know how you feel, its like some dirty, guilty secret
An obsession almost, you feel like a child thats been caught doing something wrong
I will stay on the lightside, I promise

I describe them this way: chocolate creme in between chocolate biscuits (cookie wafers), covered in chocolate. I can go through a whole package in one sitting if I'm not careful.

ME TOO! Though, I do pretty good, and try to only eat 4 in a sitting! And I've hid them from myself somewhat too!

I know it couldn't have been me, I was sleeping! Gnomes! I swear!

I used to like them, but then one year ate so many I just got sick of them
I could see that happening, you have to pace yourself! (Hard to do sometimes!)

Makes me want to go home and have some tonight... ohhh, I should probably have dinner first though...
maybe not!!!

Well, I thought I was all set. I put everything in the box to make sure it would fit (it did), then I took it all out again to start wrapping presents. Then while I was getting the Christmas paper out, Merlin ate the feathers off one of the cat toys. He told me he was innocent, but he still had feathers stuck in his teeth when I caught him.


Anyway, now I have to go buy at least one more thing for my Santee's furkid(s) before I can finish packing it up. Sorry, Santee, you're not going to have as much time to be a darksider as I intended.

Dear Secret Santee,

I finished shopping, packing and wrapping, but when will I send it? And does it have chocolate in there for you?

OK, so the consensus is for me to wait until after Thanksgiving to send my SS gift!

So, if you're my Santee, tough luck if you wanted it early! Blame all the other women here...

don't be sad, I'm sure it will keep going until the last gift arrives.... so January? Then the new antipation thread can start soon after!.... maybe a support group in between for SS withdrawal.

Aww, thanks!
I can remember the year I joined TCS and saw the SS gift thread. "What is this???" I thought. "This looks fun." I had no idea at the time. Maybe we do need a support group....
