Secret Santa 2015 - Share your stories & Thank your elf!

LadyNeon01/southern elf, you are AWESOME! My horses will be so spoiled with those treats that Ill never be able to buy the generic kind again (I’m tempted to try one myself, they smell so good). All the dogs will have a wonderful treat too, and the handmade plates…what can I say…they are very special and unique! An ornament for my tree, some soap for my shower…and garden bulbs that I’ll see in the spring! I cannot thank you enough…Merry Christmas!!

I just got a bag of chocolate from Amazon. I’m not sure if this is part of my SS loot or not, but chocolate is always welcome at this farm. :slight_smile:

Received a lovely box today! Seems my giftee and I were each other’s elves! Loved everything! All the treats will get me through my upcoming finals week! The gloves will be perfect once the cold weather shows up, I’ve been needing some new winter gloves! Thanks so much!

Dear elf,

I received the cookbook, I’ve gotten the Bella Vista Farm goodies and the R&R Orchard package…but I still don’t know who you are!

I’ve already broke into all the Bella Vista goodies, they are marvelous!

I’m not sure what to do with the R&R butters, any tips?

Subira - thank you so much for your lovely box of goodies. Unfortunately I didn’t think that the customs folks would allow me across the border with wrapped packages so yours needed to travel naked!!

I cannot wait to try that fabulous coat conditioner - smells like it may be a new favourite! I had to laugh that we seemed to have shared each other’s favourites, as I also included coat conditioner in my package! Lol. The puppy is super thrilled with her chew toys (teething away!!).

Thanks again and have a very merry holiday season ?? Maybe we will get a chance to sample some bourbon together when I make the trek to Rolex in April!!

Woot! Managed to finish my SS shopping today. Just have to pick up one thing and pack and should be able to send it out by the end of the week.

No word from my own elf so hopefully I gave enough detail.

To Polydor,

Your package left the U.S.A.
To Canada, already on its way!
Several treats for you are in the sleigh,
A few little somethings to brighten your day,

Signed, your Elf.

Yay! Will let you know when it arrives!

P.

Hello, Elf! Just wanted to check with you and see if you knew when the knew delivery date was? I still have not seen packages at the house…not trying to be impatient, just want to make sure it hasn’t sprouted legs and wandered off to the neighbor’s house. :wink:

Oh, cuse…

Ahem, well…I mean, uh…ok, cuse,
I’m gonna have to beg for you to excuse
That the mess in my workshop made me late
On the promise of today’s delivery date…

Yes, I could’ve mailed your present mid-week
As that plan of which I previously did speak,
But, cuse, I just couldn’t toss it unwrapped
In a box with a label just carelessly slapped :frowning:

So, with some carols and the weekend in sight,
I decorated and wrapped your box tonight!
It’s ready for the morning speedy sleigh-mail,
For arrival this week, this time a no-fail!

Merry Christmas, cuse!!!
(Sorry for the delay…Santa has been completely overwhelmed this week).

As best I know, the UPS elves had told me Tuesday. I can research the tracking to find out how many states away it is, in the UPS sleigh, of course.

My package arrived and I couldnt wait to open it!! My elf went above and beyond, the package was perfect!!

It was my first year doing COTH SS and I look forward to doing it again! Maybe next year I wont forget to include the card haha:(

Another anonymous Amazon box today with two catnip mice and three pair of cat socks. The socks are adorable, and Pharaoh is happily tossing a mouse as I type.

I have 3 boxes from Amazon and a bark box that I haven’t opened up yet from my person. I did get two new adult coloring books (Yes I color) and a recycled tB sticker for my truck. I am waiting until Christmas to open the rest so I have things to open. It is tempting though!

Thank you elf

I came home and found a huge box. As soon as I brought it in the goats attacked me for their treats <g>. My son loved the thin mints and we both loved the cookies and chocolate. I am already using the cup. Thank you Elf.

Ho! Ho! Ho! (and a bottle o’ rum!)

J-Lu, the sleigh almost departed with your gifts galore today. But then this spazzy elf remembered that she forgot part of your gift. So. :uhoh:

The sleigh will be departing from…the sunny South tomorrow! Hint hint.

Another hint. Your sleigh will most likely be departing from my office, so don’t be alarmed if you see an odd shipping label. I will include COTH in the address so you know it’s not a bomb. Can I say that? Did that just get me on a list somewhere? Oh well. This elf likes to live on the edge.[/QUOTE]

Yay yay yay!

Your package came yesterday!!

What it is, I can’t say!

Because I’m waiting until Christmas to open it.

PS. I assumed it wasn’t a bomb because I shook it and I’m still here to write this email.

PPS. I’m looking at it right now. It tempts me.

Talkofthetown-
Your gift is on it’s way to you,
You should have it by the time today is through.
At three,
It left Tallahassee,
Running early it is,
Even with them delivering gifts for many kids!
Enjoy, or save

Yippee! Thanks Elf! I realized over the weekend that I might have misunderstood, and maybe you meant this coming Tuesday (tomorrow). So excited that it’s on the way! Woo hoo!

Yes, it shipped last Wednesday :frowning:

Patiently waiting word from my elf to see when I should be looking for a package!!!

I know the feeling, J-Lu. My own box is tempting me as well. The wait is killing me!
