10th ANNUAL G.J. SECRET SANTA

[gipraw]

Tracking shows my victim’s was delivered today.

 

[toomanytoyzz]

Got mine today!!

Mine was "supposed" to arrive today, but I gave my recipient tracking info to ease his mind.

 

[racingtadpole]

Just catching up, the pictures show my parcel under a tree, and my SS has delivered (can’t post a picture though, but that will make more sense when we start revealing).

 

[drsung]

Tracking shows mine delivered today... UPS says it was left on the porch so hopefully it makes it inside safely.

Merry Christmas. I can't wait so see everyone's pictures Christmas morning.

I think that's the best part of this! Every year I look forward to seeing the opened pics! Haha

 

[SuperCat]

Just received a box marked GJSS! It has been approved by the real SuperCat.
Thank You, Secret Santa, can't wait to open the mystery package:

 

[PECVD2]

Dang GJSS do we really have to wait until Christmas Day?

You ask such a question?

 

[bluebolt]

USPS showed my recipient got his present on the 19th. Hope pirates didn't get it!

Porch Pirates got a package from someone local to me but left their house keys behind. Karma!

 

[Monte]

I received mine yesterday.
Mine is still on the way ... "The item is currently in transit to the destination." ....

 

[turnpikecrusier]

No package yet.

 

[cweidert03]

I just checked my tracking and it shows that it was delivered on 12/21 at 1:32 so my victim just has not confirmed here...

Got mine! Thanks GJSS!

 

[GJSS]

REPORTING STATUS!

And please! if you have shipped, and not reported it; please do so! - 3 have not reported in!


98% say they have shipped (or have been received) Only three are unaccounted for as shipped - I have pinged SS's for status (and all but those three responded) Still waiting for more responses, but we are nearly there! Several that are in transit are cross borders, so that is almost certainly a factor.;

82% either Delivered (13 - SS says so), Received (19 - Victim Says) or Posted Pics! (73)

At least 32 have not posted their pics of the box received!

Don't forget Our friends at KCtool have another gift for ONE randomly selected participant, but to qualify, YOU MUST POST A PIC UNDER THE TREE, (or equivalent) AND THE OPENED GIFT (XMAS DAY)

Details here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6862262&postcount=207

Today is SUNDAY, so not sure how much shipping is still happening today. I know I sometimes get Sunday deliveries, but I'm not sure that is universal in all areas...) I know as many as 24 may not have yet received their package, but almost certainly some have simply not reported receipt... PLEASE REPORT IF YOU HAVE YOURS!, IT's ALMOST HARDER ON THE SS TO NOT KNOW THE GIFT WAS RECEIVED! (Or worse possibly stolen off a porch)

 

[Ray-CA]

Nothing here yet, but it's still early in the day.

Regardless, wishing all my Garage Journal family a very Merry Christmas.

[Outlander]

We don't get weekend deliveries here in the great white north. Dog sleds stay in their garages and the dogs rest by the fireplace. Canada Post won't leave it on the porch so I'm not too worried (Amazon courier does leave the boxes on the porch).

If my perpetrator wishes to drop me a message on Christmas Day, I'll be happy to wait (although anticipation is killing me). As previously posted, package will probably arrive next week and Mrs Outlander can deliver it to the cabin on New Year's day where I will be holed up on vacation! No vacation for her!

 

[Lassen Forge]

You ask such a question?

Sir, before I leave for vacation, shall I load up the coal launch-o-matic?

 

[zktk01]

Thanks to GJSS, this is alot of stuff to keep up with.
I can't wait until tomorrow morning, err midnight I mean.
Merry Christmas to everyone.

 

[split150]

Much to my surprise for a Sunday, my sent package just updated to Delivered! Hopefully USPS isn't playing a cruel trick on me after it went MIA for 2 days.

 

[Jbullfrog]

Our local Post Office rocks Sunday deliveries!

 

[Fredartic]

This is an updated. Tracking shows that my package is still in transit and the delivery is planned on 27th before 8 pm. Sorry for my victim but just want to say to my anonymous victim "don't worry, it's on the way!"

I still wait for mine, either not before 27th and that's fine; I share your fun to discover what everyone has received, so post your pics; it's the part of the gift!

Merry Christmas to every GJ members! Have fun... and tools!

 

[Benw455]

Here mine!!! Can't wait to open it.

 

[GJSS]

Hmmm, Hmmmmm.


Lock and Load!

 

[The Cobbler]

sure wish my recipient would post he got a parcel !

 

[Romanova]

Same here.

 

[racingtadpole]

So... In my time zone its currently 0830 on Christmas morning...

The astute amongst you will notice that there are no tools in the picture. The short back story to this is that Ive done SS here a couple of times previous and been grinched each time. I figured because I'm in Australia the shipping was the issue. This year I wanted to play but suggested through GJSS that maybe a small donation to a charity was a better idea than shipping a box of tools across the drink.
I am truly humbled by the generosity shown by Don (PECVD2), I certainly never expected anything of this magnitude. So in this public forum, I offer my thanks on Christmas day to Don and his family for their graciousness and generosity.

Thank you Don.

That! Is! classy!

Nicely done!

Adam (racing tadpole),

First of all, I am sorry to hear you have been grinched in the past.

Secondly my wife and I want to thank you for your request that your SS be a donation. Since visiting with Jewel of Haven House we have decided to continue to help them out any way we can from here on out.

My family has been affected by domestic violence and have personally seen how it can destroy a family and its effects unfortunately get passed on ...

The local Haven House has 8 units but really and unfortunately could fill 30 units with families fleeing from an abusive situation.

My wife hosted a family get together yesterday and after all had left we sat and thought about those families holed up in a secured facility,during this very special time of year because an abuser is out (most on the run from the law). We are so thankful and blessed and also committed to continue our support.

Thank you again Adam,

Don

[Lone Star Blaze]

That is a very generous donation

 

[KSB]

Hats off to you Don. Great cause and generous donation.
