mailed you secret santa gift yet?

I have all my presents bought and ready to mail. I can't decide when to mail them. I want my receiever to open them for xmas.. Now some people can wait and open them then ..But! I know some people just can't wait to open them
What kind of person are you?
1. Patient and will wait to open them on xmas?

2. Won't open the 1st day you recieve them. Will wait a few days then curiousity gets the best of you and after few days and will open the presents?

3.Will wait untill xmas Eve and open them then?

4. Will at least wait till sometime in december to open them.
5. Or the package arrives and you can't get in the door fast enough and tear the package open as soon as you get it!

Me I will wait till my birthday which is dec 22nd then probably open it then. I alwats get cheated on my b-day as its so close to xmas..So i feel justified in opening it then.

This would be me! I would push the mailman out of the way!!!

I think when you ship depends on where the person is in location to you. If it is someone overseas, you will have to ship within the next few weeks unless you ship it Express Mail.

If it's the US, it also depends on if you are shipping regular or priority mail. I just received a pamphlet in the mail from the Post office with suggested shipping dates. They have the same information listed on their website.

I plan on following their guideliens and ship my package accordingly.

I'm not really a # 5 but close. I will be very excited. I will sit and gloat that oowww I have a SS to my kids. I will rub the package and gather my kitties around me so we can open it up together. Thats what I did last year.

No, I am still waiting for some of it to reach my house!!!

I'm probably a 3, although the supsense kills me When the gift arrives from my SS I am going to put it away so that I don't have to look at it every day... that way I won't be tempted

I haven't posted anything yes, but I hope to do it tomorrow... I'll be posting overseas and I think it'll take 2-3 weeks... having said that my sister (in Ireland) got a postcard yesterday that I sent her when I was in Hawaii.. in August!!!!!

Note to the person for whom I am SS: I'll do everything to get the gift to you in time for Christmas

Mine is readly to go & will be sent next week. It has a loooog trip ahead.
PS...I am a full blown #5.

you're sending it to Switzerland aren't you?

I'll be sending mine out next week also! To my SS: keep your eyes peeled open for your gift! Now, everyone is gonna do it--I'm so evil!! hehe...I hope you like it to!

I'll never tell.

Still waiting to see whether Plan A materializes in time. There's time. And if need be I'll use a fast method of shipping. Because I really would like Plan A to materialize. But soon I guess I'll need to consider Plan B, just in case. And whichever it is, I will be aiming to have my parcel arrive during the week before Christmas. Now...is that enough non-information?

I'm not going to mail mine till the first week of December. It will get there in plenty of time to leave my SS just begging to open it!

I haven't bought mine yet. I'm going on a trip soon, and hope to find something great while I'm there. I'll probably mail the first week in December.

And my hubby will make me be patient and wait until either Christmas eve, when we celebrate with his family, or Christmas day, when we celebrate with mine.

I'm following USPS guidelines and mailing by when they say to.
And yes, I am a 5 as well (what can I say, I'm weak.)

You have to be on this site. There are some pretty clever people here.

I am going to try and be patient enough for this option.

Will mail the package to my SS no later than December 10th.

I'm still thinking of what else to buy. I need to mail around the middle of this month. I have some of it but I want to get more but I'm not sure what else. I have ideas but I just can't choose!!!

Nope, still working on my gifts.

Another #5 here. One of the few things I do quickly. Sometimes my mother takes so long I help her rip the paper from hers!

I am #2 - but to my SS - please know that unfortunatly for me he makes me a #1 as he always hides the presents and cards until the day he did that last year at christmas and on my birthdays so I wont get tempted. Last Christmas he pulled out some parcels that i didnt even know had arrived

I'll probably be too excited to wait!

I just got my SS's gifts today too!
