I got my last clue from SS!  But I'm not going to share until I've opened my goodies.  I was planning on opening the package about 1 minute after Thanksgiving 
 but I'm kind of having fun with the anticipation....think I may wait another week or two.  Maybe.  We'll see how I feel by this weekend.  Patience has never been my strong suit.

I think you should wait until Christmas morning.  That's when Santa comes after all.

Well.....I waited as long as I possibly could....I had permission from my SS to open the package after Thanksgiving and I waited clear until December 1!

Look at all this--people treats, kitty treats....the box on the right that says "cattitude" is a set of black and white photo books.

And look at this adorable Beanie Baby--he looks like Rico.

***Just a reminder that there are now 22 days left until Christmas and even less shopping time for those participating in the TCS Secret Santa. The days just seem to be flying by.   The shipping deadlines for some of the US Postal Services can be found here. Please note; shipping dates do not include time to clear customs!!  If you are outside the US; I would suggest checking with the postal service you will be using for their information.

 

If you have any questions about who you are buying for or need a reminder of their address, you can reply to this email or PM MoochNNoodles. If you are at a loss what to buy, you can always PM a Snooping Santa to get some hints.

 

If at some point it becomes apparent that you will be unable to fulfill your Secret Santa obligation, please reply to this email or PM MoochNNoodles. We would prefer to be notified sooner rather than later so other arrangements can be made.

Have fun and happy shopping!***

Received a package today, was informed via a snooper that it is "part 3" and should be opened last. Got it. Come on parts 1 and 2! Anxiety is building :D

Oh I love it.  So maybe you'll get part 2 in another week and part 1 won't arrive until Christmas.  Sneaky SS!

I've got it!  A partridge in crab tree!   Your Santa owns a partridge in a crab tree!   Oh, wait...I'm not playing...am I still allowed to guess?

It came it came!!!!!!! (I am a definite dark sider, considering I had 2 huge boxes in my living room . (it was a space and safety issue, really :D That is what story I am sticking to. So the fur baby and I opened everything and we are so blessed!

A hand drawing of my Xena in all her gloriness, a straw cat toy thing (I think it has to have catnip, because she LOVES it), some maple leaf candies, an awesome fuzzy throw in my favorite color, Sherpa!!!, hot cocoa mix, and a Da-Bird-esque toy for Xena :)

Box 1: The COcoa Mix & Throw

Second box: Sherpa throw

 Third package:

I am going to frame the drawing, it is amazing (though it does reveal who my SS is!!)

Xena loves the box too... LOL She had to help unbox the things:

Thanks Santa!

By the way, are we revealing WHO our Santa is? I noticed betsy did not reveal... not sure if I should or not, yet?

@Nebula; it's up to you...but with a small group this year I suppose we could wait a bit to make it harder for everyone to guess!  
 
 


Xena looks like one happy kitty!  I love the drawing!  That's really special!
