I must have missed that post!
I'm really tired. I better head off to bed so I get at least a few hours sleep. Thanks for letting me know!

My recipient still hasn't figured out that I'm her SS, and I've given her several clues already.


I got sooooo excited
when the mailman delivered a package today b/c I thought it was from my Secret Santa, but it wasn't.
It looks as if she/he is really gonna make me wait till Christmas - it's only three days away now!


I guess I won't be turning to the darkside this year!

How do you sign up for the SS. I love doing SS's and I guess I joined too late to participate this year.

next year [usually in August] you'll see a thread that has the info you'll need.

I got my package today and only opened up the box. Koko found the bag with the treats in it immediately so that bag was opened. Cats live on the dark side. I think I just figured out who my SS is, but I'm not opening up any presents until I get confirmation.

Just to reassure my SS, I had a PM from Karen the other day that my parcel should arrive before Christmas, so I'm on the lookout. However -- given Mother Nature's snow activities around here lately (hardly even noticable compared to other parts of the country, but nonetheless significant here) I'm not counting on deliveries to be happening "as expected". So, if I don't post receipt and delight as soon as you expect, there's probably nothing to worry about -- it's just that things aren't running quite normally -- and I'll just be anticipating a little longer.

I haven't heard anything from my secret santa this year.

No, it's on the way or anything that I have noticed.

Am I missing something??

are you saying you know who yours is?
several people posted that the things they shipped should arrive today, i remember reading them. but until your gift arrives, the identity of your SS is supposed to be an unknown...

My package to _________ should have been delivered, but all of this snow is making me worried it could be late. They're getting the same storms we are.

I actually mailed a package out yesterday about noon. I was going to go priority mail, when the clerk told me that parcel post is running the same amount of time (2 days) as priority right now. Unless I overnighted it, they couldn't guarantee a Christmas delivery. Sorry, I wasn't going to spend $25 for shipping a $10 present.

So barring any bad weather (which half the country is suffering from), the US mail service is back on track.

Maybe we should ask everyone to stop wishing for a white Christmas right now?!?!?

to whoever my SS is!
I want you to know technically I recieved the package...... however the post office won't let my SO pick it up, even though his license and mail shows we share an address...... I'm very sad about this as he is coming to my parents tomorrow for christmas eve (I left yesterday to visit my parents for a week).
I told him to tell me to atleast hold it!! I hope they don't send it back because I'm at my parents for a week! So don't expect any pictures etc. until the new year!

sorry
It's killllllllllllllllllling me!

On the eleventh day of Christmas my SS gave to me....

I reckon I never should have said that I wanted to wait till Christmas to open my gifts!


No dark side for me this year.
Do I still get a cookie?
