This is by far the hardest SS I've ever participated in!! My guy's posts run the gamut of whatzits to fixing a gutter to welding advise. I'm at a loss but I have a big box packed and I hope I hit at least one mark!

Got my Secret santa gift EARLY. Kudos to whoever got me, and thank you. I'll have to get a pic of the unopened package under the tree next to my Wera advent calendar. Can't wait to open it.

Been BURIED at work, but got the package out for my victim today. It'll be there by the 23rd! I'll keep tabs on the tracking until it delivers. Sorry for the slow ship, but I KNOW it'll be worth it. Nothing like buying gifts and you get that "I wish I ordered a second for ME" feeling!

So two things
1) I apparently had my address wrong, GJSS contacted me about it and I have resubmitted. I imagine this is a pain for my SS so my apologizes.

2) Got my package out today 2nd Day Air to San Fransisco. Merry Christmas victim.

Mine finally arrived. Unfortunately my SS chose obscurity. I don't have a tree myself as we will be skiing with family on Christmas but here it is with the other packages that will be going.

Ventured out onto the icy sidewalks this morning to drop mine off at the the post office. Happy to say it's on its way and should be there on the 23rd. Unfortunately I forgot to include the letter I had written so I'll have to PM my SS after they open it up.

Got my SS gift yesterday actually (sorry been busy helping the wife with things). There is a hole in the side my new postal lady apologized for, so I really hope nothing fell out, but it looks more like the post office had another box hit it with the corner.

Sent mine off, yesterday. It doesn't have to far to go so it will be there in time. I hope he likes it.

Mailed mine out to my GJSS victim yesterday - later than I wanted to but it's being shipped Priority from VA to WV, so I don't think it will take longer than a few days. Hope he enjoys it!

That is funny. How do you get your own address wrong?:lol:

Anyway, I sent mine out to my victim ( I mean recipient) and I too forgot to put the note I wrote him. I'll PM after X-mas.

I haven't received anything yet, but we still have all next week.

Here is mine under the tree. Excuse my crappie tree but my 4 month old kitten has run a muck on it.

Looks like 6MocoA was my secret santa. Thank you sir!!

I'm a tad worried, sent my package USPS a week ago, followed the tracking to the point it was out for delivery, now the tracking just shows Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS, USPS Awaiting Item

Victim has yet to announce received, and has posted in other threads so I know he's been online.

Apologies to my Secret Santa, my packaged arrived but my better half already placed it by the tree. Pulled it out to take the picture. Just wanted to let them know.

I sent mine out today. Luckily my SS is not too far down the road!

So the GJSS is REALLY "checking it twice"! Official status of what has been reported:

39 have reported receipt of their package!

82 reported shipped (or received, therefore shipped... - about a dozen people didn't report their shipment to their recipient)

So we are doing well I think!

Victims package "has arrived in a foreign country". Was supposed to be delivered on the 15th. I love Canada post...

Have not received anything yet, but received a tracking number and it says it's on its way :)
