Secret Santa 2021 is there a thread?

Okay, I just gotta say, this made me smile and also a little bit… verklempt. What a nice gift!

Very much. My mom passed away last month, so I especially appreciated the kindness.

OMG, so many people are so on the ball this year. I’ve not been one of them.

I’m feeling more guilty than inspired! Haha!

Oh, I’m inspired. Completely inspired, I tell ya’. But I’m also friggin’ frustrated with the length of time it’s taking to ship something from Santa’s Workshop. :angry:

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, @Lcsd114! Got to go shopping for you yesterday and i think I hit the jackpot! Still working on a few little things to tuck in, but please check your PMs for a different delivery option idea.

@Callista17

I got an email saying the second gift arrived. Hope it did!

Hmm…I haven’t found it yet, but will check soon😊
EDIT- I found the package- a beautiful ornament. Thank you very much!

I can relate! My gift, which is I think the perfect gift, is on a 2-week backorder. I went with it because I think it is a perfect gift. Well, at least my giftee can’t open it so far before Christmas! :rofl:

I never open my COTH gifts before Christmas (many others don’t also unless their husband thinks they received a suspicious package) so the timing may not be that terrible. :grin:

MunchingonHay, yes! The socks are the right size and go with the top I have on today. The pad looks nice. Thank you!

I’ll be mailing my giftee’s gift once a key piece reaches me, hopefully this weekend.

YEAH! I am so glad the socks matched (bonus points) and the saddle pad will work.

Happy Holidays!!

Leighbo009 Santa needs to know what is on your list this year! He spilled coffee on it once then wine and it completely illegible! And if you care to share sizes and things you like and don’t like as gifts SPELL it out for this left brain elf!!!

Leighbo009 This is your elf trying to get the list you want Santa to see!! My second attempt! Poor Santa needs suggestions! He spilled coffee then wine on a list that he had so let me know sizes and things you might like!

Today I received notice that Tack Shack of Ocala has shipped a little something to a southern state. I hope the recipient enjoys it. Christmas card following via snail mail.

You say your flag containing blue
Lies much closer than I knew

USA will be my next thought
Might not be right, but it’s what I’ve got

Lying about rain, you have nothing to gain
So I will toss my hat and guess again

Pacific Northwest is my regional guess
Washington State’s rain can be a mess

My Elf you tease
Reward me please

If I am wrong
Continue to sing your song

I will then just guess once again
The fun of this game is what we gain

Islgrl I’m here to say
Your elf is working night and day!
For you and Odin and Willa, too,
I hear you like pink and the color blue.
So off I go to the store of tack,
For a fun shopping spree before heading back
To my island Town across Mass Bay,
Where I’ll knit and wrap and hope you’ll say,
What a perfect gift on Christmas Day!
Happy Holidays Islgir!

Teacher me: “A+ for you!”

My goodness, my elf has been busy! On Friday I received a nice big box of chocolates. Yum! Those were marked “perishable” so got opened right away. Yesterday another mystery box arrived. I’m holding out until at least December (tomorrow!). It’s doubtful I’ll last until Christmas. But then, just a few minutes ago, Santa’s Little Helper delivered another box. Give me strength to not perk!

Big thank you to my elf! Still not sure what my elf’s COTH name is (unless revealed in one of the unopened packages).

Hello, Luvmyhackney!

The sleigh doesn’t move so fast with no snow around! Not to mention, the reindeer have contractual clauses that they don’t have to start running until the 8 not-tiny turkeys clear the runway!

But have no fear, your gifts are here and being carried to you by the USPS. They should reach you in a few days.

You said bring on the color? Message received!

@ParadoxFarm - From your Secret Santa

The shopping has been completed. It was so fun. The last item has finally shipped (to me).
As soon as it arrives your things will be gathered, packaged, and shipped off to you.
