Package went out this morning. Apologies to the recipient if it is late. None of my previous 4 were on time. Shipping from South Africa just takes some time!

Got mine sent out on Saturday. That international shipping is expensive! It should make it there well before Christmas.

Thank you Outlaw, The Cobbler and Lassen Forge for all your effort, so many of us appreciate it, and I know it is a lot of work.

My gift went out today - should arrive by Thursday 12/8!

This year has really gotten away from me.
If it's not too late, I'd really like to participate again this year!!

OK, it's out.

Those flat rate boxes are awesome, you can fit a lot of coal in there for one low rate.:lol:

Can we start a sticky for showing the gifts received .. it would be nice to know the Giftee received the items and they weren't stolen . lost etc. I realize people still may not post they received a gift but a lot would .

This thread is already sticky, and:

5. When you get your package, post a pic of it by the tree, upside down tree, menorah or what have you...

So please post them here when you receive them!

I loaded my gift onto a moose and sent it south. Damn guy is expensive. He promised delivery before Christmas, but I made him provide a tracking number to keep an eye on him!

I received mine. Had the wife open it to see if it was wrapped inside the shipping box. It was not. I'll have a photo this evening

Reminder to all that 5. When you get your package, post a pic of it by the tree, upside down tree, menorah or what have you...

This serves two purposes:
  • we are "sharing" the gift of giving, and
  • it assures your SS that you did receive it (Yes there is delivery confirmation, BUT that means they dropped it SOMEWHERE -It could be the wrong address or it could have been stolen before you came home to it.. (Hopefully this won't happen..):

So please post them here when you receive them!

OK so I got a few people posting and PM'ing that they wanted to participate if at all possible; even if only as a backup for someone that backed out (so far, none!)

So in spite of it being past the deadline, and ONLY because I could "Keep it secret" (we really try to keep from two people having direct exchange) I did a first set of three (so we could keep it "secret") and then after that a second set of three (finished sending those out just now)

So we are up to 128 Secret Santas! (pending final receipt confirmation from two of the last three - that was fast...)

The six additions are (in no particular order):

4 FN 27

twertsy

I don't think we can do any more late applicants, as the time is now just too short. (it took several days to put together the last three due to needing addresses and confirmations.. we would also want at least 3..) Sorry!
