Thank you!! 
Thank you! (And some days are better than others!! 
)
Ho! Ho! Ho!
@HereComesZach, Dasher came to my workplace to deliver a message for you from your elf. THe stationery is beautiful!
It says:
A Christmas note to HereComesZach,
A package here I’ve yet to pack.
I’m waiting on store to send,
Hoping it’s around the bend.
When it finds its way to me,
I’ll send it off for you to see.
It may be something you would not pick,
But let’s hope it fits and does the trick.
I can picture it with your group of three,
Once it’s out from under the tree.
For you, a gift is in there, too,
A very Merry Christmas from me, to you!
(Poet, I am not!)
Ho! Ho! Ho!

Dasher came and visited me after work. He gave me a note, again - the elves have such nice stationery!! I feed the rabbits and something at night horse feed - Dasher had a nice snack before returning home.
Will you please ask @SharonA if a package had been received. The tracking number says that it was delivered to the side door.
It is safe to open; everything is wrapped.
signed your SS
Ho! Ho! Ho!!!
Waiting waiting, Uggh.
Specialty elves are quite slow.
Maybe they kept it! 
They say reindeer left.
Maybe reindeer’s in bad shape?
Explains the delay.
Just letting you know-
don’t watch the mail too closely
at this point in time.

Hey @alternatesideparking… It came! Your “teaser gift” arrived today! It is so special: an ornament made of a laser cut image of my sweet young horse. I know you had to do some sleuthing to find that photo. 
It’s extra special because a couple of weeks ago, at our first big Paint show down at Westworld, he won the all-around high point title in both of my amateur divisions! So the ornament is a wonderful way to commemorate a great first year.

Squee!
I’m so glad you got it.
I found the photo here on COTH, in the Beautiful Horses thread - strictly rec league sleuthing!
You have another “teaser” gift arriving ~ the 17th, and then a final one right before Christmas!
PS - it helps that he’s freakin’ adorable!

Prancer came into my work cafeteria when I was eating lunch. How do they know where I am all the time? The Executive Chef (yes, we have one) prepared an amazing lunch for Prancer from his amazing salad bar and I’m sure that’ll show up in our “Insider” page this week. Prancer delivered an envelope to me before munching down. People took selfies with him. Geez, what is with the stationery of elves? Again, so creative and beautiful! Where do they get their stationery from?
Your Elf says:
Just want to let you know that Santa will be sending your package via Reindeer Express tomorrow (Tuesday). You can open the box because the elves have wrapped each item inside.
Ho Ho Ho!!!

Ho ho ho, @McGurk!
Package number 1 is on its way via the USPS Reindeer! I’m still gathering the rest and will send another package either later this week or early next week. This elf has a horse show this weekend that is interfering with elf duties.

I haven’t heard anything from my elf yet, but I noted this morning on checking my packages en route to me (I am a certified trackaholic) that I have a package heading this direction soon that I can’t identify. Could this be from COTH?
And to my giftee, who hasn’t heard anything from me, either, because life has been nuts, your final present came in, and I will mail the box tomorrow. So watch for your own Unidentified Package.
@ParadoxFarm, I hope to get your box on its way tomorrow. I must apologize, life cancelled my planned shopping trip, so some of the things might not be as pony-centric as originally intended. I hope they will all be useful substitutes, though.

I have not heard anything from my giftee. The tracking says it arrived safely last week. Did you see it at the side door ???
Thank you, Elf!
I have been busy and have not yet finished my shopping nor been to the post office…
Thanks, ElfMagic! I’ll keep my eyes. out. Take your time, I’ll be leaving on a cruise tomorrow and back on the 18th!
Maybe I should wait a few days, then? I’d hate for it to get swiped or rained on while you are away. I will be off a half day Monday and can ship it then if you don’t mind the risk that it may be late.
Your second teaser gift (from the great elf helper, Mr. Amazon) should be in your mailbox today!
The rest of your SS goodies are currently at my home, where the elves are on strike for better working conditions. Once that package is 1.) packed and 2.) sent, I will let you know!

Blitzen pressed his nose on my home office window tonight. He had an envelope for me. I fed him grated carrots and other vegetables that he pointed out as he assessed my refrigerator. He liked the horse pellets I keep for the rabbits mixed in. They are the one thing that no other creature around here eats.
Naturally, the stationery and the envelope were stunning.
@HereComesZach, your elf needing more time on one item and is leaving for a cruise tomorrow. OMG, I can’t think of a better excuse not to finish making your gift!!! I want to go on a cruise! Your elf will be back on the 18th and can hopefully send your items on the 19th but don’t be attached because there is post-cruise syndrome (says me, not your SS).
