@chai - And thank you! Once I got my gifts in the mail I opened my package. What an amazing box! You are a talented knitter and potter. The hat goes 100% with my coat and scarf, its glorious… and the bowl, you are so very talented… All the other things, the beautiful necklace, the hook and of course the chocolate. Willa and Odin enjoyed their treat as well! What a lovely lovely surprise
I just want to give a big shout out and thank you to J-Lu. Thank you for putting this together for us this year. It was so much fun!
Thank you!!! I loved doing this to keep the tradition alive! And you really need to thank @islgrl, who like a few others, offered to match with latecomers as well as earlycomers so everyone could be included this year. That’s pretty amazing. This whole community stepped up to the plate to point out my errors (I made some) and make this all happen.
I think this was the latest Secret Santa to start and the earliest delivery of gifts in a long time!!!
Dear Elf, I will not open my gifts until Christmas and other elves, many others may not also! Please note that the PO is freakishly slow in many locations this year.
I love how this all came together!
Oh, we also have volunteer de-grinchers but I don’t believe anyone will be grinched this year. This was so fun!
I think I’ve been duped!! I got a box from my Secret Santa today! I think I might wait until Christmas to open though. Now I have to figure out where the cozy Jammie’s and socks came from. They were both shipped directly from a store so I’m stumped!
@FjordBCRF, we still want to see the cozy jammies and socks. Come on, we like photos!
@ParadoxFarm from your secret santa - Success! The reindeer have left the stable with your package in tow. Keep an eye out for a boring box with random strange duct tape taping it shut.
Maybe you have a secret admirer who’s into sleepwear?
No kidding! Just dropped off a small Priority Mail package this morning (Monday). The delivery date, to go a few states over, is Friday.
And I’ve been tracking the package from my Secret Santa (thanks for the number!). It’s still finding its way west.
must be using walk-trot
this year.
Hahahahaha! Christmas at the PO is Dressage Intro level this year!!!
Hey, as long as everything eventually ends up at “X” we’re okay, right?
@trubandloki you are great at handling elf communications. You should have your own elf hat and a nifty pair of pointy-toed elf shoes.
Pictures! A friend just gave me cozie jammies as a Christmas present so I want to see yours!
Cozie socks are worth 10X their weight in gold. I have so many pairs because of this reality. I get very cold in low temps and love love love any warm weather sleep wear. In fact, my fingers and toes will get white due to lack of blood flow. I lived all over the US and when in cold or now even moderate weather states, I’m all about the warm jammies and socks. I wear warm jammies even when I’m not sleeping.
Maye she does?
Yes please! Elf hat and nifty pointy toed shoes…< swoon >
I need to work on that.
This secret santa has been so much fun for me.
I totally understand!! Not a problem. Thanks!!
How about something like this? Although I suggest you don’t make a late night visit to your local mini-mart in this outfit.
Thankfully I am not prone to late night visits to the local mini-mart so all is safe.
Does it come with the red and green hair wig too? That really makes the outfit.
Hmmm… Not sure. But I hear that at Walmart you can get some spray-on hair color in just those colors! Wouldn’t you look grand managing all these elves in that outfit?
My package arrived Sunday and was opened immediately. No way would I be able to wait till Christmas!
Thank you so much! The playing cards are so cute! Can’t wait to try out the brush on my girl, but from the sounds of the Haas brush thread it may stay home for the cat! The horses will appreciate the Stud Muffins since I never get them the good treats (poor abused creatures that they are) and I’m excited to try the bath bomb.
Now I can’t wait for the second arrival (!) to learn the identity of my drunken yet thoughtful elf!
My box came today! Thank you, Secret Santa!
I won’t open it until Christmas Eve… If I can stand the mystery…
