Ok, I need valium....and chocolate!

That is how I feel. I can't wait until my SS gets her package and I really hope she likes it because I had so much fun putting it together. I am just wanting to see her reaction!

Well i hope you guys are my SS! Cause i'm dyyyyyyying to get my gift!!!

So funny. All these packages winging their ways to all the corners of the globe. But who is sending what to who???? And does that 'who' know who they are??

I love reading this thread.

I'm so busy these last few days. I've had 5 packages go out to relatives and now I'm sending Heidi a package (that was supposed to go out in July....eeek!....yes, way late) so my fingers are tired!

I got my package and took pics.
I love everything and will upload the pics soon.
The cookies are very food.

Ok, this really stinks! I went Christmas shopping over the weekend and kept finding things that my recipent would have loved! Problem is, I mailed the package on Friday.

I found more presents for my SS than I did for my family! I really gotta get out of the "cat" mind frame (but, I do have ideas for next year!)

Just a reminder:

If at any point you realize you will not be able to honor your SS commitment, please let either myself, Chester&Piper or clixpix know. It's better for everyone that we find out sooner rather than later.


Thanks.

Also, I just came from the Post Office and it is taking at least two weeks for some Parcel Post packages delivered. Please keep this in mind when shipping your packages.

Yup - I mailed a package on the 3rd that just arrived this morning (13 days). So if you are waiting until the last minute to mail out your presents, you might need to consider Priority Mail right now. I doubt that Parcel Post will make it in time for Christmas.

Mine may not be mailed.
I am trying to decide weather to take it to the person or mail it.

I shipped mine priority and it got there in 3 days and the cost wasn't bad at all... under $10.

I sent mine priority mail and they said it should be delivered yesterday or today at the latest. The price difference was only about $5.00 for my package (I was suprised!) so it is worth it.

Ok, is that a hint, or are you just being a tease??

How did you get such a close secret recipient? That is soooo cool! I would be speechless, probably tear up if my Secret Santa came to visit me!

Aw that's so cute! I think that would be amazing to meet your Secret Santa!

 

[mews2much]

If you want to pm me I will tell you who I got.

 

[AbbysMom]

Well will you look at that.

Your item arrived at the delivery Post Office in XXXXXX at 8:46 AM on December 17, 2008.

 

[rapunzel47]

So I guess I can expect my parcel tomorrow then, or at least the delivery notice.

 

[cheylink]

I am stupid excited to get my gift! Everyone here and Maia are who I'm spending Christmas with! I can't even find someone to go to the movies on Christmas day with me, I want to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
SO excited to receive our gift and to hear when our gift is received!

Sorry Fran, but my recipient has confirmed receipt of the package.

Right country, but a little to the East.
