SECRET SANTA!!! - Let the thanks begin!!!

Hello Abbie.S !

Never fear, you do have an elf on the job. I will not be posting much for the next few days because I will be out SHOPPING. Surprises await!

I have not heard from my Giftee nor my Elf :-(.

He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

Reeeeefy, Santa also knows if you open your gifts early … Just sayin’ …[/QUOTE]

I swear I’m being good!!! FOR NOW. That is my mantra and I’m sticking to it :slight_smile:

Thank you Elfetta!!! I am so so so excited!!! (Does happy dance)

I apparently have a stealth elf, too. On the other hand, I gave several details in the sign-up, so hopefully the elf just has enough to go on without messages.

Some things coming to me in the mail,
don’t you fret, I am not being a snail.

I am going to drop everything in the post
I want the box filled up with the most!

So the second week in December for you
Its closer to Christmas that way too!

So don’t you worry when December first comes and goes
Santa has you covered, this elf knows!

And I may have gone a little over budget! :winkgrin:

Here is a hint, hint about your presents. I will try to ship them this week so that they will make in time.

Half the shopping is done.
Now the wrapping has begun.

To ship the presents to your door.
Your jaw will drop to the floor,

When you see all the stuff,
to protect you from the rough
and bitter cold!!

I’m here - I was having some issues at the North Pole workshop, but I’m now ready to start checking the list. Not to worry, Tug and Kane are also on it. I am a delinquent elf so your gifts will be relayed via a secondory outlet (bet you didn’t know Santa shops online!!). Meanwhile, happy holidays!

I am a stealth elf so for those of you worrying you have been forgotten, never fear. Your elf is near!

Murphy’s Mom, Murphy’s Mom!

Your first small gift is on it’s way.
It’s not a lot, but I hope it will help
in all of the farm/ranch ways!

The next gift is started.
It will get departed,
and be there long before Christmas Day!

PS. Look for a riddle when your first gift comes.

  • Your Elf

It looks like I might have a quiet elf… Hope they read this thread, my circumstances gave changed since I signed up and I am no longer horseless![/QUOTE]

Your elf has been delayed but now on the case! I am glad you have your horse back. Tell Santa what would you like for Chip? Does he like horse treats (peppermints, etc?) You will be receiving gifts from multiple sources just so you know.

Oh Doodlebugg!!!

Your Elf has been quite busy and has had lots of fun … next is the wrapping and then all will be done!

Shipping will not happen till after Turkey Day … I cannot send Christmas before that, NO WAY.

Hope you like your gifts and all of the treats … there will be lots to open and of course there will be SWEETS!!!

From,

DoodlebuggElf

Dear TurtleBayou,

I’m sorry that I’m not a rhyming elf, but I’m working on shopping for you! Though your description was so open ended…how about some help? :slight_smile:

Do you like tea?
Or things related to tea?
How about scarves, or something to keep you warm?
Favorite color(s)?
Barn colors?
Do you like plaid?
Books to read, or more silly books?
Make-up, nail polish, beauty-related items?
If you had 1 surprise gift, what would you want it to be?![/QUOTE]

Hello Elf!!
I am sorry, work has kept me away from the forums!
I have replied to your PM, thank you! :slight_smile:

I have answered your pm elf, too much nose to the grindstone here. :frowning: I am sure I will love everything!

[QUOTE=farfrozenelf;7856406]
But a box is about to depart for your door! I do hope it brings a little color while not giving your instructor the vapors! Provided s/he doesn’t peep in your grooming box, that is. Why stop at one shocking color, after all? And you can have a little fun while keeping your feet warm, too.[/QUOTE]

My lovely Elf! I received my box today and I couldn’t wait to open it :o THANK YOU SO MUCH! The socks are adorable, as is the hoofpick. The filly will love the treats. And the bag! The bag is very me :slight_smile: I actually have a brown and orange Equine Couture saddle pad that matches it - will be perfect for horse shows. Thank you so very much, you brightened up my very drab and very cold Monday :slight_smile: I only wish I knew your COTH identity. Seasons greetings to you and your menagerie!

It seems my elf wants to be anonymous :). A Christmas scented candle arrived in the mail and is helping to put me in the holiday mood:). Thank you for the early gift - I opened it thinking it was something I ordered for my giftee!

Dear Senszuri,

I received notice that my elfmates are sending over one of your presents to me soon! I just need to add my elf touches to it before sending it to you!!!

The other elfmates sent notice that though they are working hard on your gifts, it may take them a little longer to get it to me…so don’t despair! It will come in time for Christmas no doubt!

Yay! Hi elf! He is not very picky when it comes to treats!

Can’t believe how much into this I’m getting, but I’m excited over a BOX. Not a box with gifts for me, nor (yet) with gifts for my giftee. Just a plain box. I was just last night worrying about finding an appropriate box for my giftee, as one of the presents will be an odd size, longer than a priority box but thin. I was worrying about finding a good box that wouldn’t have a mile of extra space to hit oversize shipping penalties and even considering the possibilities of cutting a larger box down.

Then today, I received my new ergonomic keyboard from Amazon, which was expected. I’m high mileage on keyboards due to my job and must replace fairly regularly. I looked at that box, and the light dawned. It’s PERFECT!!! I even fought the cats for it.

Yippeee!!! I have found the perfect . . . shipping box. Hot dog!!!
