A package is on its way to you,
A long journey it will be,
I hope you enjoy it and Cassius too,
To possibly put under your tree.
Happy holidays! 
Heads up to my stealthelf…
FYI, due to work schedules I will not be reaching Virginia until January. Let me know somehow when you ship and from what state, and I’ll have my family let me know when your package arrives so that I can let you know.
If you don’t want to make an elfalter, I’m sure the Chief Elf or one of the other elfalters would be happy to relay a PM or a post.
Spotted Pony!
I hope it’s okay that I didn’t wait. We don’t even have a tree up yet and I needed a pick me up, so I opened the box you sent as soon as it arrived. :lol:
I love everything! Thank you so much!
I have the biggest grin on my face ever since I pulled out the browband. I’m going to the barn tonight and I will try it on him then. 
I have been needing more saddle soap and the Sugar and Spice scent of the HSLC soap is to die for!
The dressage court necklace is going to become my new everyday jewelry, I think. :o It’s the perfect, subtle way to show off my inner dressage queen.
And of course, the cookies are going to be a huge hit!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You put a really bright spot in a somewhat abysmal week. :o

Murphy’s Mom,
My final gift is awaiting pick up. The big red man says it could still be two to six more days, before I can get my elfy hands on it. Fear not, It should be sent out with plenty of time for Christmas!

Not a problem elf! I like to wait until Christmas Day to open my Secret Santa gift. Presents that arrive too early cause me much anxiety.
Thank you Good Elf!
Yo Abbie!
The Reindeer Relay Race has started. Your package should reach Reindeer Central on Monday and be delivered within a week. Enjoy!

So happy you like everything I am terrible at delayed gratification also so no prob you didn’t wait to open the box. I am trying to do all Small Business shopping this year and was really pleased with the gifts I ordered. I was hoping to make some treats for the horses but time got away from me so I had to settle for store bought - but I don’t think your guy will mind, mine didn’t
Have be a great holiday season! Hope this is a good start.

Apollo definitely didn’t mind–he seems to have fallen madly in love with these cookies. I haven’t seen him react like this to a treat in a long time! I will have to invest in more. :yes:
Thank you again! I hope your holidays are wonderful; you have given me a great start indeed.
Secret Elf - thank you, thank you, thank you! I have no willpower and opened both boxes. The scarf and gloves are lovely and the blue in the scarf will match my coat perfectly. Winnie and Scooter snarfed down one treat each and I refrigerated the rest to parcel out. I was tempted to try them myself, they smelled so good. And the horse treats were a big hit with the boys. I wish I had video of Ziggy - he’s never had a treat quite like those before and the look on his face cracked me up but by the time he was done chewing he was ready for another.
You did great! Thank you and Merry Christmas, whoever you are!
I had a mysterious box show up at my house on Friday or Saturday (can’t remember which, its been a long weekend). I’m being good and haven’t opened it yet!
Hope my person got their package. Tried to send them a PM with questions about a few things before sending it off but their PM box was full

Oh, Zevida…
[B]My fellow elves have been working,
And I? I’ve been lurking
While fighting the Northern Ick.
But your gifts are all waiting
For wrapping and taping
[/B]And the envelope to lick (with a sponge, don’t worry).
[B]By this weekend they’ll fly
And by Priority they’ll arrive
Via the USPS Reindeer chick.
So one more electronic book
In your email when you look
Hoping to hold you, 'til delivery, will do the trick…
[/B]Merry Christmas, Zevida!
Chocomare, could you please see if my special surprise giftee received her package???
Thank you!!

My secret helper elf has one of your presents completed and will be mailing it directly to you (I think it was going out from the workshop today). The second box will hopefully be mailed tomorrow, as long as I remember to get up early enough to make it to the post office before work. They kind of go together, but not really, so you can wait and open them together, or open them as they come. Or even wait until Christmas, whichever you prefer.
Merry Christmas!!

I was just coming to say thanks for the book and saw this - hooray! I will keep an eye out for a box next week. How exciting!

You are very welcome! I am glad everything arrived in a timely manner.
I knew (
) Scooter and Winnebago would like their treats. ;). They came from another CoTHer The horse cookies just looked too delicious!
So happy to hear the color on the scarf matches your jacket! That was totally lucky on my part and I hope the gloves fit. I was thinking about the kind of work you do and if you used a touchscreen for work. It can be cold out there in the barns and I would hate to have to keep taking off my gloves to use a tablet or iPad/smartphone/device. I hope they fit. If not, let’s try to get the right size. I was very practical this year.
I will ‘out’ myself in a PM later.
[QUOTE=Elf_FlashWhitelock;7894363]
Another quick message - one package is going direct to you.
I forgot it was something I wanted to look for and I think I found something that will suit you fine!
Ho ho ho,
Your Elf[/QUOTE]
One package has arrived! Ooooh, I’m going to have to sit on my hands to keep from opening it until Christmas. We’ll see if I actually have the willpower.
thank you for some real pleasure. The anticipation is everything!!

Oh elf, you are the bomb.com!
I keep telling myself I will wait until Christmas, but I probably won’t. :lol:
Thank you, Elf
[QUOTE=Natalie A;7899110]
Anything perishable that I should open the box for?
And thank you!![/QUOTE]
Nope You are good to go! All presents are wrapped…but one:(
Oh, JB…
[QUOTE=JBCool;7826817]
Have fun, everybody! I love secret santa, but finances are a little tight this year (too many visits from our favorite vet), so I thought I should probably sit out this time. I’ll try to be back next year![/QUOTE]
[B]Santa just can’t let you go without,
So you need to give me a shout
To assure you’re still in the same place.
Chief Elf gave me directions
To send my Christmas selections,
But not on a wild goose chase!
Merry Christmas!
