Ooooh boy! Looks like the fun should be picking up soon!
I'm a darksider.I've got a trip planned the first two weeks in December. I'll be shipping a package off to my SS this weekend for an early delivery date. Or maybe I'll wait until I get home so it gets there just in time for Christmas.Which shall I do? wonder if my santee is a lightsider or darksider.
Okay, I'm new to this. A darksider is one who opens their package before Christmas, right? In that case....oh, yeah, I'm a DARKSIDER! My package will be opened within five seconds of receiving it.

Yep! So glad you are "one of us!"
It really is fun to see what people give each other!
So I find a good box, put all the stuff in to make sure it will fit. Then I start wrapping everything and realize I'm going to have to get a bigger box. You wouldn't think wrapping paper would make so much difference. :scratch:
We need more Lightsiders! It drives the Darksiders crazy lol!
Good to know. So if I'm your SS I can wait until I get home to send your package, right?I've got a trip planned the first two weeks in December.

I'm a darksider.
I'm going to TRY and be a lightsider
Depends on when my SS sends the package... if I have to stare at it for more than three weeks I might not be able to hold out!
Ah, but I've already received my package.Good to know. So if I'm your SS I can wait until I get home to send your package, right?

It IS lonely! The poor poor thing! It needs to be put out of it's misery. It's the right thing to do. Say it with me; the riiight thing to do.
Ah, but I've already received my package.I am just waiting on a camera, which DH and I ordered today. One minor glitch is that the guy at the store told me it comes with a USB cable. (The camera was out of stock, so he had to do a special order.) I've read online reviews for the same camera in which people complain that it does not come with the USB cable. I need this camera complete with everything it necessary to post pictures ASAP, for Secret Santa purposes. My Secret Santa box looks lonely in the closet, all unopened and everything.
Drat! Guess I'll have to find another darksider to torment.Good to know. So if I'm your SS I can wait until I get home to send your package, right?

There are a lot a darksiders around. We give cookies to those who join our ranks.
You know, I think when you were my wonderful Santa, DH kept me on the lightside. He kept telling me it would be more fun to open on Christmas Day. I opened before Christmas, but it wasn't much sooner.
Well, even without ANY help (thanks to MoochNNoodles desire to play by the rules and not spam everyone
) I am on a total SS ROLL!!!!! I swear it's like it all came to me in a dream, and now my credit card is suffering from over-swiping. No matter, as I am super excited to buy the last few items on my list (and for a couple to arrive via Amazon) so I can get these boxed up and off to my lucky recipients!
NOW it's starting to feel like Christmas!!!!!!!

I'm so close to being ready to ship. Wrapping and some assembling needs to be done for the multiple exchanges I've signed myself up for this year. I want to do all my shipping at once. The post office location I usually use I can get to when it's not busy usually; but it's still a stroller worthy errand.
I had no hints to go by. I am hoping, my SS likes what I picked for them. I had a moment of inspiration while out shopping and kind of put together a semi-theme gift, right down to the colors of everything and the box it's in. And again, hoping that one item makes it all the way to them without making a sticky mess
(EDIT: Well, I had hints, but none from the hints thread!)

Well ... l have to laugh, and l hope my Secret Santee does as well
l diligently wrapped each gift and went to put them in the box l though was big enough. Yeah, not so much. So, l loaded everything in and kept one end open, then wrapped the whole thing in ugly brown paper. THEN thank god for hockey tape!!! The tape is what's holding everything together, lol. lt's such an embarrassingly ugly parcel that l'm sending DS to the post office to see if they'll actually mail it like that
So my deepest most sincere apologies to my recipient. l swear the insides are nicer than the outside.

Hey, I never judge a book by it's cover, or a box by it wrapping! Besides, the wrapping doesn't stay on very long here anyway. I'm sure your Santee will love everything!

Oops...didn't quite make that deadline! But it IS packed now and going to the post office tomorrow a.m. And you will all be shocked to hear--I think there's CAT hair in the wrapping tape!
