Is there a separate thread for posting received SS ? Mine came in yesterday , took some pictures but don't want to clutter up the wrong thread. If my SS is reading this He is from ID .

Post in this thread, this is the only thread for the actual gift exchange

So I went to the post office yesterday to ship my package out( it’s on it way) and the post office had a package for me.

My SS definitely has me curious as what’s inside as it won’t exactly fit under my tree. So here is a picture of it beside it. :)

Thanks SS!

^^^ Lol. Too funny. ^^^^

A BB gun would actually be useful. Lots of critters in the yard this year. ;)

If so I promise not to shoot my eye out.

The USPS dropped off my package yesterday. It looks like it had a rough trip from Oregon but hopefully the contents will be fine. Now I am looking forward to christmas morning like a giddy schoolkid. :)

Need to pick up one more item and then I'll be sending mine out the end of this week most likely.

Wow! A huge 40lb box arrived today with GJSS emblazoned on it. But as I picked it up and carried it in, it emitted a dismaying variety of clangs crashes and clunks. I thought I'd better open it right away, so fearing the worst, I peeled away the gaffer's tape to find nothing obviously amiss. It turned out the noise was coming from a steel box clearly full of tools, and a nylon pouch similarly stuffed. (I didn't open either one) I stopped unwrapping at that point and will await Christmas to continue. Gee, I wonder what's in that long aqua-wrapped package?
I was baffled by the wooden Binford truck -- did I somehow give the impression that I have small children? Fortunately, Santa had enclosed a card wherein it was revealed that the truck is actually a bird house, and a duplex at that. SWMBO immediately pointed out that we have a perfect place to put it, where our rambunctious 12 year old will be able to see it easily from two different windows.
The Montana items brought back fond memories of skiing, hiking and motorcycling.
More to come on Christmas Day!

I've been participating in GJSS for a few years now. I think this is the first time I've seen folks not only opening early, but posting pics. Now I understand checking for damage, but not posting the pics.

It kinda spoils the fun for your Santas.... :(

Mea Culpa In my defense I was not sure which SS it was from I have 3 forums I am active on and all 3 have different rules for SS :{ I won't lie and say I opened for damage check lol .

Could I suggest possible addition to the rules next year ? IE On the box must be GJSS

Just received my gift today. My Secret Santa posted a picture of the package a few days ago and said it was going to Texas. I was curious if it was me and it was. Waiting on one more item, plan to ship my package Thursday if I get it in tomorrow.

Due to time constraints (Read: dragging my *** again) I shipped my bounty direct from Amazon again this year. At this point there's no way I could get the items here and then rebox and ship again. My target was a little tough this year. All he does is shop evidently. lol

There will be 2 separate shipments, both have GJSS in front of his/her name. If you get a shipment and didn't order anything, be sure to check the name for that before you open. One is supposed to deliver 12/14, the other 12/21.

Merry Christmas everyone. :D

Well, the doorbell rang a little while ago and all I found on the porch was a box that looked like this, and it says GJSS! According to my bath scale, there are 5.4 pounds of GJSS goodness inside. I can't wait to open it. Many thanks to my GJ Secret Santa, who is obviously more organized than I am. My package is almost ready to ship, doing some last minute shopping today. :thumbup:

The GJ Secret Santa has struck again!
