It's now the 10th of December, and I've only heard from about 15 of you that your gifts have been sent. There are only 16 days left until Christmas; you can't ship on Sundays, and you're TOTALLY screwed if you try to ship something anytime after the 20th (as I have serious doubts it would be delivered before Christmas...). That really only gives you TEN more days to ship! So, please contact me by email or PM (or you can even post to this thread if necessary) once you have sent your package out. Thanks!

People who I haven't heard from: (I'll update this as I go along)

Zektor

Again, if you think you're having problems with this, LET ME KNOW. I can ask your recipient more questions for you, I can re-send shipping information if necessary, or (most importantly) I can do my best to make last minute substitutions if you can no longer participate.
If you don't let me know, I can't help. And if I get any messages from people on Christmas saying, "I never got my present", god help you.

Btw, I sent you a card off too POG, as well as a pic of me, and my kid to put up on the members photo section, if you would be so kind. :)

Done, and will do! Can't wait to see the photo!!! :D
Your card will be going out Monday, with the rest of my Christmas Card pile..

Done!

I don't think you're the only one.. I got a message today from someone who didn't know who the package came from, opened it, and it wasn't until they got to the bottom of the box that they realized it was their Secret Santa and not something from an eBay auction.. Maybe the rest of the people who haven't sent theirs could mark em in some way?

I got mine yesterday too - I'm going to put it under the tree when we put the tree up tomorrow. W00T! This is already better than last year when I got shafted out of a gift by a forum member who decided to disappear a week before Christmas (WILYKAT).

Yes, it's going to be a Merry Christmas after all. :x-mas:

kainemaxwell

12-14-2002, 10:34 AM

On the box I listed my name and DP sn name along with that on the letter included just to make sure my person knew it was from the DP Secret Santa.

POG - I mailed mine out this morning , via Priority Mail.

But, OOoops - I forgot to wrap the items.
& Double OOOoopps - I also didn't indicate my screenname anywhere. But I did put my Real-Life name, for whatever it's worth.

12-16-2002, 02:03 PM

I received my gift today. I see the person's real name...but not his screen name. Perhaps it'll be inside the wrapping. If not, perhaps I can find out later the user's name...the tough part may be in trying to not open it until Christmas. I'm very bad about that but I'll try to resist this time.

Well, a secret until you get the gift, of course. What's wrong with finding out who got your name, so you can thank em for your gift? :)

Mine and Lexicon's went out today as well, should be there in a few days :)
Lexicon got his gift last week I think? His SS was really on top of things!

Mine arrived in good form today! It's nestled under the tree as I type. I was amazed in the Off Topic forum how many people seem to have already gutted their packages... I know it's hard - I wanna tear mine open, too! But, I thought it was part of the whole deal to wait it out. All I know is that regardless of whatever turns up from the family, this box will likely be the center of my attention on xmas ; )

Mayhem

12-17-2002, 06:31 AM

No sign yet... though if it's coming from the US then I know to expect it to take a week or so...

Assuming they used airmail LOL

moycon

12-17-2002, 07:25 AM

I see my package made it OK. Good. I'm pretty sure I put my screen name on the box?? I can't remember. If I did. I'm also thinking I wrapped the contents so you can open the shipping box if you want.
Of course I have a terrible memory...So maybe it's best you didn't. I suppose you could crack it...and if you see red and green. you'll know.

Damn I suck.

punkoffgirl

12-17-2002, 10:53 AM

Anyone heard from Dave lately? I can't believe he's still on the list, but he hasn't replied to my messages...

Moycon - No worries, buddy! I cracked it open this morning, and everything's all cutely wrapped. How lovely of you! I also found the neat little monster Wood Golem dude bouncing around in there. Thanks for everything in advance ; )

video_game_addict

12-17-2002, 05:39 PM

Mine was mailed out today priority mail. It's wrapped on the inside as well, so it doesn't matter if it gets opened.

Also I received my gift today from my secret santa!! Don't worry I knew who you were, so I haven't opened it yet. :)

ubersaurus

12-17-2002, 09:16 PM

I got a box addressed to me from Amazon today...I'm assuming it's from the secret santa, if they'd like to verify I'd appreciate it ;p

Queen Of The Felines

12-17-2002, 10:18 PM

Got mine today, and after seeing the size of the box and who my Santa is I really, really, REALLY wanna open it!!!

* whines like a two year-old *

Btw, would the person who got a package from Lansing, IL please send me a PM to let me know you got it? I'm getting nervous!

Kristine

Rogmeister

12-17-2002, 10:51 PM

I think I mentioned that I got mine yesterday...unfortunately, while it lists his real name & address, it doesn't list his DigitPress ID so I've no idea who on the board sent it. If someone wants to fess up, that'd be cool.

Masco73

12-18-2002, 09:45 AM

Got my secret Santa package yesterday. I will try to hold off opening until X-mas. Thanks in advance ClubNinja!!

punkoffgirl

12-18-2002, 03:59 PM

Please, no "fessing up" quite yet. We'll have a proper time AND place for that, once it's Christmas time. I'd like to have a thread where you say what you got from who, and who YOU played Santa for. No need to list what you sent them, as they'll be doing that already in their own post :D
So please, PLEASE, hold off. As of right now, I know of no problems with packages anywhere.

dsullo

12-18-2002, 08:16 PM

So there are just 4 shipping days until XMAS. How many of you are still waiting on your SS package?

It seemed to come up quickly this year.

I am waiting for my package, but I am not worried about it.

I know my Secret Santa Victim got theirs. I wrapped mine in X Mas paper and put the card inside, like last year's S.S. deal. To the receiver: if it said Sheboygan Falls, WI on the return address, it's from me.

Achika

12-19-2002, 01:29 AM

Who's PCK from NC? I think it's my SS gift, since I don't remember bidding on anything on ebay from NC.

I'm guessing PC Kwajelien... so yes it would be your SS gift :D

Ascending Wordsmith

12-19-2002, 07:26 AM

The C64 Super Stud is correct. I am your Secret Santa. You'll have to excuse the packaging as I ran out of parcel tape and had to make ends meet (almost literally) with regular scotch tape. O_O How embarrassed was I at the post office? Extremely.

Merry Christmas!

12-19-2002, 09:17 AM

I thought we're holding off on revealing anything as per POG's previous post/request!!! @_@

Rogmeister

12-19-2002, 10:00 AM

Apparently some people can't help "helping out" in finding the identity of their Secret Santa. I had posted that I wondered who mine was but I can wait...besides, perhaps it's revealed inside the gifts packaging. We'll see. But regarding what you may get and exactly who it's from...shaddup about it! LOL

buttasuperb
