My Secret Santa gift has arrived! It was just delivered here by the postman and it seems to have a bit of weight to it so I'm intrigued by what's inside. I will leave it sealed, though, until it's time to open everything (just in case the contents aren't wrapped in Christmas giftpaper)...

Yay! My Secret Santa gift arrived today! Time for the long, arduous wait until Christmas... :/

And, here's the funny part. I sorta, kinda recognize the return address as one I've shipped to/dealt with/traded with in the past. But, for the LIFE of me, I cannot remember who it is or make a name-connection with it! I'll be going nuts over THAT bit of info, more than what's in the box! LOL Can't wait! (But wait, I shall....)

Sent mine this morning! I haven't recieved a thing yet.

If you haven't sent off yours yet, be SURE to add the words "SECRET SANTA" to the package. A friend of mine got his today, thought it was some N64 games he ordered, and opened it to find his secret santa gifts...he was wanting to wait ti'll Christmas to open it but had no indication what it was.

Remember....gotta make sure it's not that new backscratcher you ordered. ;)

SoulBlazer

12-09-2004, 10:14 PM

Heh, that's why I made sure that my return address on my package and what I have here are different. ;)

And yeah, mine was clearly marked as being from his/her Secret Santa -- even put a note in there warning the person that nothing was wrapped and they go under the wrap AT THEIR OWN RISK! LOL

Dahne

12-09-2004, 10:41 PM

Man, this "not until Christmas" rule is killing me...I don't have access to my own gift, if it came already, but I'm anxious to know if my Secret Santa likes theirs. :)

Querjek

12-10-2004, 06:35 AM

Whoops... I marked on the outside that the gift was from the DP Secret Santa thing, but I forgot to put a note inside saying whom it is from :embarrassed:

According to UPS the package I sent out the other day was received yesterday. Due to not getting my Christmas bonus yet I wasn't able to include more in the package but I hope the person who got it enjoys them. :) Still awaiting mine.

Nature Boy

12-10-2004, 08:37 AM

Got mine yesterday! (good thing my wife is home on maternity leave to sign for it :) ).

I hadn't even thought about what would be in it before and then last night I had a dream that I opened it early and it was full of Atari 2600 cartridges. Which is funny because I didn't actually *ask* for any Atari 2600 carts. So yeah, I'm kinda excited about opening it in a couple of weeks :)

Mine is going out at the last possible second to minimize the possibility of my recipient ripping into it early :)

Hence, my package will go out at noonish tomorrow.

Lady Jaye

12-10-2004, 10:22 AM

Same for me, my package at the very latest will be out tomorrow. Jaime, I'll email you the tracking number as soon as the package's shipped.

What he said.

But seriously, I bought the gift for my SS about 2 weeks ago, and it's been riding around in the backseat of my car ever since. I'll hit the USPS tomorrow and get it shipped out.

Promise.

Achika

12-10-2004, 02:04 PM

I sent mine yesterday (and sending you an email today Jaime)

I believe mine has been recieved, although swiped and hidden by my mother. It's got to be for here, since it's the only SS I'm participating in.

I sent my package today at noontime. According to the post office lady, there shouldn't be any problem about getting to its recipient before Christmas.

And I got my SS package today (actually, I got it a couple of days ago, but my post office closes at 6pm on weeknights so I can never get there on time).

NoahsMyBro

12-11-2004, 02:46 PM

I sent mine this afternoon as well. Just returned home from the USPS as a matter of fact.

Haven't received my package yet.

Just got my Secret Santa package today. :D

Almost did'nt -- it was left at the back door for some reason instead of the lobby in the house where the other mail comes. Strange.

Tracking has indicated that my Secret Santa has received his/her package.

you sure these are not the saturn games i did send you? if it's from Marburg, Germany, open it :p

Yes, this was from US. I have a package from Germany in the PO (it didn't fit in my mailbox) but I can't pick it up yet as I'm preparing my car for a new lick of paint. I'll PM you when I've picked it up but thanks beforehand. :)

I got my package today - I will patiently wait till that magical morning.

According to USPS tracking #, the package I sent was delivered on the 6th. But the recipent has not posted to say that they got it. They have posted in this forum since the 6th. Should I worry?

Jamie: You Rock. Thanks a million for all of the hard work. I hope you get something extra special.

No, because no one's supposed to share yet.

Perhaps he means we should post pics when it's time to open the gifts, not now? That's a possibility...my cats may want to help me unwrap them come Christmas...

12-14-2004, 09:57 AM

Mine's been sent, I'm trying to find time to go to the post office to get mine since it requires a signature. They left the first notice on Friday...I'll make every effort to go up there tomorrow afternoon.

Keir

12-14-2004, 11:01 AM

I received my SS package yesterday. Yippee!

According to tracking, the gift I sent was received about 10 days ago. I hope that was the case. :)

AlanD

12-14-2004, 01:30 PM

My package shipped yesterday priority so should be there before the end of the week. Apologize for the delay but leaving in the middle of work is difficult.

I also received mine yesterday.

12-14-2004, 03:33 PM

I got mine today and I can't wait to open it on X-mas. Also my package was delivered a week ago according to my tracking number.
