Me Too! Unless the girls get to it firstOriginally Posted by KittenKrazy
I just wanted to drop in and let my Secret Santa know one minor detail about me? I am very firmly rooted on the DARK SIDE and will open my gift as soon as it arrives !
I'm a definite member of the dark side, but since money is tight this year and DH and I aren't buying for eachother this year, I may save my SS presents to have something to open on Christmas morningOriginally Posted by KittenKrazy

I can sympathize. Amazing what you can do with tissue paper and a piece of ribbon.Originally Posted by nurseangel
My wrapping turned out terrible! My idea of putting things in gift bags and then boxing just didn't work due to space issues. I am so afraid my SS may be disappointed when he or she recieves the non-wrapped gifts. I want my SS to know I really did put a lot of thought into the gifts, I just have severe packing issues.
Don't fret. Some of my things are so big that you can't wrap them. We can start a club for people that don't wrap their SS gifts.Originally Posted by nurseangel

Not to worry!! It may be a bit of a clichÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] by now, but it's still true that it's the thought that counts. And having been in the position of not wrapping (I love to wrap, so that was hard) I know it's hard to remind yourself of that. I'll love everything, even if it's not wrapped!Originally Posted by nurseangel

I'm ok with tree boxes, that may make the holiday that much better... Open one a day!!Originally Posted by Crazyforinfo
OK the post office really needs to rethink what they call a LARGE box. LMAO
SS looks like you are getting 3 boxes. I am sure you won't mind. I might just have to spread the shippings out too.
Some of us will be ok with that, cuz even the lighsiders on here want to see their gifts get opened by a darksider FAST!!!!Originally Posted by capt_jordi
I would just like my SS to know that there is no chance of me being a lightsider. Sorry! I can barely keep a secret! Much less stare at a box that may have chocolate in it!
Nop, cuz I'll open them too!!Originally Posted by Snake_Lady
Glad to hear it....then my cookies won't go to waste.
or will they?
Uggh, yeah,... that's right, right to MY waist! My cookies Jan!Originally Posted by gemlady
No, those cookies will go to "waist"!
Thats ok with me!Originally Posted by AlleyGirl
Well I just finished wrapping all the presents and all I can say is... I'm gonna need a bigger box!
Hey now... she's sending it to me!Originally Posted by Momofmany
A bigger box is not a bad thing. When shall I expect it to arrive?
That's ok, you can mail it to me in a day or two, but not any longer than that!Originally Posted by nurseangel
I'm excited about three boxes!
Maybe, after much squishing and squashing, I mailed a box today...or maybe I didn't.
Ok, I guess I can wait that long.... But only becuase Thanksgiving will give me a little break of thoughts of Christmas!Originally Posted by AlleyGirl
I might be mailing the week after Thanksgiving
Woohoo!!!Originally Posted by rapunzel47
Just thought I should mention that the Secret Santa wrapping shop is about to open. Back in a couple of hours.
Yay!!!Originally Posted by mews2much
I bought a lot of stuff for my ss last week and will be going shopping again tomorrow.
I'll wait for it! And have a little cutter ready to open!Originally Posted by rapunzel47
Wrapped, boxed, packed, addressed, taped within an inch of its life. Ready to ship. Tomorrow? Who knows?
That's ok, Kitters will love the cat hair, claim the bit of sweater as her own and rip the tissue paper to shreds and then call it home for a few hours!!Originally Posted by pushylady
Phew Fran, that was efficient! I had to abandon my "operation gift wrapping" tonight due to my over-enthusiastic little helpers. To my SS: I apoligize for the random cat hair, bit of my sweater, and ripped tissue paper. Also, I rediscovered that I couldn't wrap a gift nicely to save my life.
I'll take them early!Originally Posted by sarahp
OMG I was at the coolest shop today in wine country, and I got the most awesomely fantastic presents for my Santee - they PERFECTLY suit the things she likes and I'm so ridiculously excited about my find that I think I might send the present off early
Good!!Originally Posted by KittenKrazy

Me and DH never really buy eachother anything FOR christmas, but we are actully going to have a tree this year so, I am not sure what side I will be on, I guess it depends on when it arrives!!!Originally Posted by AlleyGirl

I will pretend I don't know it's your present when I get it even if I know right away!Originally Posted by Momofmany

Oops - did I give a hint here?
Maybe I should send them to my SS as well, since I found them AGAIN in one of our stores!!!Originally Posted by Februa
Now that Ive purchased the Tim Tams (regular and caramel) my local store sells, Ive completed my SS shopping Ill wrap and pack up by the end of the week, and ship off, in plenty of time for a Christmas arrival, despite having to travel more than one timezone to the east!
(thats the only hint Ill give bwa hahahaha)
Me too! Kitters like the boxes more anyways!Originally Posted by rapunzel47
