Secret Santa 2023!

I just got my final item in the mail for my giftee – so it will go out in tomorrow’s mail! I think it should get there in time. :crossed_fingers::blush::christmas_tree:

My SS package is here!!! I am poking and shaking the unrattly packages wondering what they can be, but I’m waiting until Christmas!

@Lcsd114! Your package went out yesterday and it should arrive today if Santa does his work via the USPS! Be on the lookout! Ho ho ho!

@applelover, just checking to see if your package arrived safely like the magic number says it did :crossed_fingers:

@SharonA1 Your package is on its way! It is on Santa’s fastest sleigh and should arrive by Saturday at the latest! Whew, those reindeer were hard to catch this year :sweat_smile:

It did indeed! I didn’t open it yet, but it looks like everything arrived in good shape! I can’t wait to see what’s inside! :star_struck:

To help keep track, I am attempting to follow posts and check off who has gotten their packages, so please drop a line here when you get yours. Thanks!

It looks like it’s overnighting in Milwaukee. That’s ok, tomorrow works.

I’m crushed to report that your gift will not get there by the Magic day. :sob: I packed things in such a way to keep things happy. That meant that getting it to you by Monday was :astonished: :flushed: :grimacing: and overnight was :skull_and_crossbones:. I had no idea. I am so sorry!!

Your gifts will arrive happy but not by the magic day. Bringing happy things into your home is better than trying to welcome unhappy things. I thought.

@YourElf oh do not fret! Something merry arriving somewhere in the abyss of xmas and new years is just fine! I appreciate the thoughts and work you’ve done. Busy elves and reindeer !

The package will be your fate❤
I hope you like, and it’s not a bike.

Home to find my box. This is wonderful! Warm socks filled with peppermints. Tea. Cat toys. The new book on Black Gold I’ve been eyeing. Thanks, elf!

Plus a great box.

@Lcsd114! Did your package arrive? Please notify your Elf, as she will have to go and shake some bells down at USPS if it hasn’t.

You may have to shake some bells. It’s now spending the night in Dulles. At least it’s in the right state! It’s funny how the tracking still says it’ll arrive yesterday, though!

Thank you for updating!

:christmas_tree:Dear Painting Elf,

This is an awkward question, but… is the sleigh on its way?

Have to ask because I live in a rural area, and yesterday I found a box on my porch that actually belonged to the family that lives 1/2 mile down the road. So I just want to be sure I don’t need to go door-to-door, Secret Santa Hunting.

Sincerely,

Paint Party :christmas_tree:

@Lcsd114, I did some tracking down on my end and according to what I found out, your package was delivered yesterday and signed for by a D. Middlesworth! Is this your hubby or a neighbor, perhaps?

I sent you a message.

Can my SS reveal themselves? I was joking…you don’t have to be my bestie​:cry:…I just really loved the gifts :heart:
