-
I want WAW as my secret Santa :-* ...Boxman
I am a big fan of regional sweatshirt with hood XL something with your hometown or state on it. Or longsleeve t-shirt XL same way also a few candies would be nice too, oh and maybe an all expense paid trip to somewhere warm would also work for me ;D...Boxman
-
I'll go for that boxman. :cuddle; boxman is a big boy too. :waving;
-
Count me in!!!! :santahat;
-
Are we going to do a list of our likes , dislikes and interests again this year to mke it easy for our Secret Santa??
-
Are we going to do a list of our likes , dislikes and interests again this year to mke it easy for our Secret Santa??
Oh yeah, that worked well last year.
Post here if you want to help your Secret Santa pick out a gift, or if you're open to anything, you could post that too. (Well, maybe not ANYTHING...) :secret; heheh ;D
I loved the idea of giving regional stuff last year too. That made it fun!
-
:santahat; Woohooo I love Secret Santa! :bandance; :rudolph; :christmastree;
-
Count me in! Sending my info ASAP
-
I'm in. :flower;
-
:santahat; :snowman;
-

Me too.
-
I'm in!

I am sooo in, it ain't even funny! I cannot wait. I love my IHD Christmas BOX every year!
I want anyone and will take anyone as my secret pal. Just ask the people who got pressies last year from me. Heheheheh!
My interests:
I love boxes. Pretty boxes, unusual boxes, boxes of unusual shapes and sizes.
I like pretty light houses.
My house does not have a color scheme, although my favorite color is purple.
I have a tiny Christmas tree so small ornaments are cool. :christmastree;
I wear royal colors.
My size is (Oh God do I have to admit this?) XX-large. :santahat;
I like pretty things.
I have a small collection of angels.
I like jewelry- necklaces- pretty baubles. :rudolph;
I love dark chocolate!
Please no perfume, cologne, bath soaps or lotions. I am allergic to just about everything scented that out there.
I hope this helps whomever is out there. :popcorn; :popcorn;
-
Count me in, too!
-
I'm In this year.
Likes, Chocolate Liquores, White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, flavored centers Dark Chocolate come to mind so far. But categories that come to mind are Automotive (Hot Rods/Custom/Muscle Cars/Exotic Cars)and Automotive Racing (shirt or sweater size L or XL is fine), Technology - Regular anything to help low vision, which makes me think Best Buy, Office Max, Office Depot, or Staples gift card.....Ohh, a Gas gift card :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
Dislikes: Page a day calanders
-
sent off my information, i had so much fun last year. still like the same things, teddy bears, fat pens, vanilla candles, anything purple, dark chocolate and especially something from your state (i'm not let out much). this is going to be so much fun, i can hardly wait. oh oh and tea pots~
-
kitkatz it would be easier to list things you do not like
I WANT IN
O'Karol you have all my info
Boxman------- if I get you - I'm getting you an Aggie's T-shirt ha ha ha
I love pictures of old barns -- real ones , not story tale ones
FliipBob --- if I get you, you are getting a bottle of vodka or a thing of that spit tobaccy stuff ( joking)
nothing in my house matches and I have no favorite color
Chris---- should you eat choc---- I made two wonderful choco cookies I would love to send you ---- really - you would love me forever
but would they make it and not be in crumbs
-
:yahoo; Woo hooo! We have 23 people so far! :bandance; :bandance; :bandance;
-
Whoo hoo! I'm in! I can't wait to go shopping for someone!!!!!!!!!!
My likes:
I'm open to anything, but if this helps, My life seems to revolve around cats, dogs, & gardening / yard work. If I'm not catering to the critters needs or walking the dogs, I'm probably out digging in my garden. I'm supposed to be on a potassium-restricted diet, but ..... um...... well...... I'll be good before I have my labs done anyway!
-
I guess the big think for me would be nothing scented please!! I am on a weight loss plan ( 36 lbs gone so far!!!) so no chocolate or candy pleeeease!! I like most things. very easy to please. I like scrapbooking, card making, gardening, reading. Something from your area would be really nice. I got an aussie tshirt from a one secret santa ( another site) last year and a really nice glass palm tree ornament from my secret santa on here who was from somewhere on the gulf coast!!
-
:santahat; :rudolph;
-
I am so excited...have always loved secret santa stuff...by the way twirl...I sometimes send a cookie or more and just put them in between bubblewrap or cover them and put between stryo peanuts and they are ok.
I like unusual things...on the large side...brooches, ink pens, any type of angels, fluffy comfy 2X pullovers (like fleece with seasonal designs), tall slouch socks..love those as my toes are always cold, bright jewel tone colors, and just about anything. If I get something from a real person who I know thought about the gift..it is all good.
-
Please count me in :)
-
I'm so excited! This is going to be great!
Nothing edible for me, please. I just built a dollhouse, so anything really neat for the dollhouse would be great! Little framed art, plants, furniture, rugs. The wallpaper in most rooms have greens, reds, some blues. I don't have landscaping for the dollhouse, so just inside items please.
T-shirt size: L to XL (depending on the quality of material. cheaper material go to XL)
Sweatshirts or Sweaters: I like those XL.
I love good candles such as Pumpkin Spice or Cinnamon and Apple. Really any smell except florals.
I wouldn't mind a gift card for anyplace like Target, Wal-Mart, Linens and Things, Best Buy, Circuit City, Barns and Nobles, Dillards, Foleys, Victoria Secret. I could find something cool at any of those places!
I may add to this list before the deadline...
oooooooo this is going to be fun!
-
I'm in!
Likes: Anything eeyore (note the avatar..my room currently has 24 stuffed animals, a clock, picture frame, lamp, etc. etc. etc.), anything dealing with animals (domestic mostly), umm...and Carmel! it's my new chocolate! :)

How much longer do we have to wait? I cannot stand it!

I'm into just about anything.
Love cats and Yorkies, cooking stuff, regional stuff... whatever, I'm happy! bath stuff -- just no floral scents
This is going to be fun. I can't wait to see who I get.

I always want chocolate, reading this has nothing to do with it. :rofl;
-
:santahat; If you haven't been involved in the Christmas exchange before, I just want to say how much I have enjoyed it. It is fun to shop for another member,but it is really fun to get that surprise package in the mail. It feels good to know someone here took time to do something just for you for the holidays. I really like the idea of regional items. and that is something easy to find. So, join in the fun!! Add your name to the list :2thumbsup; :santahat; :christmastree; :rudolph;
-
yes, it is great fun. paris was my santa last year and one of the things she gave me was a fat little pen with a silly face and hair like a koosh ball. it is clipped to my key chain and i think of paris every time i have my keys out. so join in, the "fun" can last all year.
-
I have been collecting Christmas gifts and little stuff all year long since last time. My secret pal may end up with a couple of boxes. We shall see.
-
I think you should get me for your secret pal ---- you get my name------ I like boxes of stuff and more stuff
mailing you a thing on Monday after D if the post office is not too busy
if so, then mailing Tues, if Stasie does not have her baby that day
then W'day after D if I do not bleed all over my blouse
I will work it out

Hello everyone!!
I hope this post is finding you all well. I just sent my info to okarol so I can be included in the Secret Santa fun!!
I've never participated in a Secret Santa program by mail before. So, I am wondering when packages should be mailed? Are we shooting for as close as you can get, right before Christmas delivery. Or is it OK if I shoot for a week or two before Christmas delivery date?
Thanks for the info!!
Kelly :clap;

Gifts must be mailed out NO LATER THAN November 21st, and sooner if you are sending overseas. This what Okarol posted first thing on this thread. That way packages avoid the Christmas rush slump the post office has.
-
When you get your gift you aren't supposed to open it until Christmas though!!!!! :beer1;
-
Right!
-
You're just not supposed to ADMIT to opening it before Christmas!
That reminds me..... I was a terrible snoop as a child. For me, Christmas was really the time that led up to the great unwrapping when I'd take advantage of every opportunity to carefully unwrap my gifts to see what they were, then re-wrap them to avoid being caught. I thought of myself as a master snoop. I loved the glossy kind of paper. It was easy to pull the tape from that kind of paper without tearing the paper. In re-wrapping them, ya had to be very careful to make sure the folds all ended up in the same place as they were originally. I thought of it as a challenge.
Then my parents started to number our gifts instead of putting our names on them, in a lame attempt to thwart my efforts. Um...... There were only four of us kids. It only took a couple of extra minutes to figure out which number was mine. I almost always managed to locate the pre-wrapped presents, too. Mom usually hid them under their bed, sometimes in the basement (sorry Dad -- I found your Playboys there!). Sometimes in the attic. In later years, they did get a bit more creative and there were some that I didn't manage to find in advance. grrrrrr! I suspect Mom had a friend store them for her. Ahhh the memories!
-
DEANNE, you shock me!!! Seriously I thought I was the only one who did this as a kid. I got caught because I ate one of my gifts (chocolates) before Christmas day and my Mum got wise after that I think. It was from one of my school friends so I figured Mum wouldn't notice. She did notice and I tried to blame one of the dogs but although I was a good sneak I was a lousy liar.
So whoever sends your gift might have to send it to a neighbour. :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

Okarol, when will we get the name of our "secret" friend? I'm ready to do some shopping, and I need to know who to shop for!!
P.S. I hope Sluff gets my name so I can get that puppy he posted the picture of. But, then if Sluff sends me that puppy, Marvin will not be happy (he says Hop-Sing is a one-dog-in-the-family kind of dog). Let's not tell Marvin or Hop-Sing...

Have an AWESOME day!!
Kelly :santahat;
-
I have forgotten to put my name in the presents I sent to people last year. I usually try to put a card in the bottom of the box and surprise them at the end of all of the gifts. I cannot wait. I have been finding stuff all year. I have a great IHD Christmas box. Going to have to send it in waves I think.
-
Not to put any pressure on the rest of us or anything Kitkatz!!! :rofl;
-
That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm not sure I am equal to the task! :rofl;
-
If you get my name, the task is very easy - (one or two of the following)
An XL T-shirt from where
A couple of key chains (the glassy plastic souvenir kind)
Stuff that is mailable that is typical of where you live
a diary that fits into a purse
then....
ANYTHING ELSE.................
-
Kitkatz reminded me that each participant should limit their spending to no more than $20 - $25 max - the idea is to exchange something - but don't break the bank.
If you have nothing but time :rofl; you could read last years thread and see all the likes and favorites and gifts exchanged last year http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=4829.0 - :cheer:
If you HATE candy or have a fear of clowns or are allergic to perfume - post it here so your Secret Santa will have some guidance!
Names coming soon! :bandance;
-
i hate clowns
am allergic to perfumes and stuff like that
do not like choc
and CosmicKelly --- I am a girl woman
-
Also, to clarify - you will receive the name of the person you are sending TO.
You will NOT know who is sending a gift to you until you open your package.
twirl, can you keep a secret? ;D
-
I am not allergic to any type of candy I always smell good and I have been known to be a clown...Boxman

Oooops! It's in the archive. I moved it out temporarily for viewing. You should be able to access it now.
-
GOT IT!! :thx;
-
Ever since seeing poltergeist as a kid, I HATE CLOWNS! :rofl;
But that clown didn't fair to well in Scary Movie 2 :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
I love surprises! I was the kid that never looked for my presents, never begged to open "just one" early. I hated opening gifts on Christmas Eve. So, my secret santa package will go under the tree and stay there until Christmas morning. We take a long time to open everything; one at a time, each person oohing and aweing before the next gift is opened.
I do like the regional items idea. Fun to have something from the givers area. Not hard to come up with an idea for me-----just look at my screen name!!
-
I just went back through some of last year's thread. What a hoot. One thing I can say for Okarol right now is mail your packages early! ;D
-
Is there a "gifts should be mailed no sooner or no later than rule"? ie. Dec. 1st - Dec. 20th. Or can we send them whenever as long as they arrive before Dec. 25th?
-
--- Gifts must be mailed out NO LATER THAN November 21st, and sooner if you are sending overseas.

I can hardly wait...so, I've re-read this thread several times. It just occurred to me that I haven't put my likes/dislikes down yet. So, for the person who gets my name...
I want something from your area/region...I don't care what it is, just something from where you live (postcards, pictures, refrigerator magnets, keychain, book, tree ornament, etc.). I'd also like for my secret "Santa" to tell me about the place they live (if it's not too much to ask you to write something). I'm pretty easy to please and love to get surprises.
-
Hey Petey, If I get you I will have an easy time! Postcards or North Carolina, maybe some peanuts, pinecones, a tshirt that says "if God isn't a Tarheel, then why is the sky Carolina Blue?". (Sorry Marvin!!) :rofl; And I could write about this lovely state I live in! :clap; In case someone doesn't know, Petey and I live in the same state!
Seriously, I can't wait to get my Secret Santa name. If I do get Petey, I might just have to deliver it myself! It could be quicker than the mail!

I wish I would have got Boxman. A $10 plus a 47 cent stamp! How easy is that!
:bandance;
-
Boxman, how about chocolate coins from Halloween???
-
I could also use a new pair of shoes. Make sure they are size 9-1/2 and both left footers. Also a pair of socks will last me twice as long. ;D ...Boxman
-
I looked at what I wrote last year - the list is the same - I really like everything. I no longer wear a Large t-shirt - it's medium women's now.
I still like the idea of getting something cool from your local area - I love coffee - I like ornaments - keep it simple.
Money for Boxman? The checks in the mail! :2thumbsup;
-
Okarol - since you are the one sending the names out for SS - how do you not know who got YOU? ???

Thanks for doing the Secret Santa Karol. I just arrived home from Italy this morning and I have the perfect pressie but I also have to throw in something a bit Aussie. So the person I got is getting a little bit of Italy and a little bit of Aussie all wrapped up in one parcel. Very exciting!!!
-
ooooohhhhh! I hope Lucinda got MY name!!!!!!!!! :clap; Two places I would absolutely love to visit!
-
I guess the big thing for me would be nothing scented please!! I am on a weight loss plan ( 36 lbs gone so far!!!) so no chocolate or candy pleeeease!! I like most things. very easy to please. I like scrapbooking, card making, gardening, reading. Something from your area would be really nice. I got an aussie tshirt from a one secret santa ( another site) last year and a really nice glass palm tree ornament from my secret santa on here who was from somewhere on the gulf coast!!
Forgot to include my t shirt size. It's Large.
-
Has anyone gotten any PM's from Twirl yet? :rofl; Twirl, have you kept the secret for one whole day?? Good job! :2thumbsup;
-
I am going to have to ground myself from the pm part of IHD
I am so tempted..............................
-
Twirly you can PM me and tell me who you have. I won't tell anyone.
:waving;
-
but you would not open a pm from me
remember
no way can until after all the secrets are out
I am asking you and the other leaders to cancel my pm part of this IHD
it is so harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd
I got someone I knew I was going to get
I felt it
I know it
and I did
and I am smiling :waving;
-
We are here to help you through this time! Don't look at the pm--walk away--take a deep breath. Keep your hands busy with cross stiching. Or cooking for Bubba! That boy can eat! :rofl; Love you Twirl :cuddle;
-
I got a pm today from Twirl, our resident stalker. ;)
-
I got a pm today from Twirl, our resident stalker. ;)
Me too, but I deleted it!
-
This is always so much fun! I like most everything, but something from your area would be nice. I also like to read, love candles, jewelry, lotions and shower/bath soap (especially lavendar), Christmas decorations...anything I get I know I will love!
-
Hey, it is the dumb bird here with jetlag so pay no attention. I haven't participated in a secret santa before. Do we send the pressie from a secret admirer or are we allowed to let the cat out of the bag and say who sent it?
-
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I wanted to get Hop-Sing :waving;
Hop-Sing has a Chirstmas outfit already right??? LOL
Hop-Sing likes to walk around NAKED on Christmas...but, then, I heard that Sluff does, too! :rofl;
-
My person NEEDS to give me ideas :flower;
-
Yeah me to Lola.
But the person has been mia for a few months.....
So i will have to Wing it.
And twirl why do your PMs to me say hurry and open. it is tempting but i havnt yet.
-
I wanted to echo the sentiments of everyone and thank Carol for putting this together!! I am very excited about the prospect of getting out to find "just the right" gift for my secret person.
As I do research on my secret person, I'm finding there are almost no clues as to what this person likes or dislikes. Hmmmmm....... Hoping they'll help me out here!!
So, that my Secret Santa isn't scratching his/her head:
I'm a size 2x, but I like things LOOSE!! (So, 3 or 4X is great!!)
I'm allergic to scented lotions, bubble bath, candles.
I'm losing dialysis access places and on a big time diet so that hopefully pd will be an option in the future.
Other than that, I love anything regional!
I'm really into sports: Appalachian State University, Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Braves are my favs.
I am very active with Alpha Phi Omega.
I was soooo excited last night!! I woke up at 2:49 and didn't go back to sleep until after 5:16!! (last time I looked @ the clock!!) Hoping I can find something great!!
Thanks again, Carol!!
Kelly :yahoo;
-
Hi there, I'll be in the secret santa exchange :bandance; I like regional stuff, no clothes please, my size goes up and down seems like on a daily basis...lol.
but, anything will be appreciated !
-
I like anything at all. I love reading, gardening, body lotions or soaps (natural organic types with not too much strong scent), scarves, regional stuff, bead bracelets, and whatever you'd care to send me will be perfect.
-
Thanks Carol. Your work is well appreciated!! :flower; :beer1;
-
Twirl keeps sending me pm's! The problem is, is that they are one letter at a time :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
Hey, it is the dumb bird here with jetlag so pay no attention. I haven't participated in a secret santa before. Do we send the pressie from a secret admirer or are we allowed to let the cat out of the bag and say who sent it?
Send it marked from your IHD Secret Santa. Clearly on each side in magic marker.
-
Whoever has me, I'm good with anything. The fun thing for me is going to be just getting a package and hopefully a little note. I'm diabetic so no candy.. or not too much anyway.. I'll eat it of course! That seems to be the problem lately with my blood sugar - no self control when it comes to chocolate. Scented stuff is great, especially citrusy stuff - just no florals or heavy stuff.
-
Thanks from me too Karol. I just love Secret Santa. :guitar:
-
Sluff - I don't have any "magic" markers - just plain old run of the mill markers. But I'll go today to try and find the magic ones you speak of.

:bunny:
-
Whoever has me....I am going to be no help at all but if it has to come the distance....and I imagine it might be coming from the other side of the world, something very small will be absolutely fine with me. I would be really happy with a card and a photo of my secret santa with their favourite thing. If that is an animal....all the better but I will still take Sluff on his bike of Flip in his Porsche...you get the picture. I have a family and friends picture wall in my billiards room and it would be nice to include my secret santa. xxx
-
Lucinda - what a great idea - a card and a picture of our secret Santa. I would go for that too.

Please do Sandyb otherwise the package won't be shipped properly, if they are not magic markers it will cost 3 times more to ship. I'm not sure why, it just does.

I am soooo excited to start shopping... I will be looking for the perfect gift...
Remember, if you haven't put your likes and dislikes, please do so ASAP. I have been reading my SS's post and don't really have a clue of what they would like. Please list favorite colors, foods... sizes of clothing, etc....
My likes are anything DALLAS COWBOYS!!!!
I love candles.. anything sweet smelling... I am not crazy about floral fragrences and cinnamon or apple
I love coffee
I am diabetic, so no sweets please.
I like my clothing big and loose on me so I like XXL
My favorite clothing store right now is CATO's
Anything local to your area would be fun!!!
Thank you Okarol for all your hard work!!! :flower;
-
I've already started my shopping. But to the poor Santa that got me, well, I'm so easy to please.
My favorite color is Blue, I love candles, I love my shirts long and loose XXL (I haven't wore a bra in over 7 years), I love quilting, miniatures, Yorke's, cross stitching and cooking. I am pre-diabetic but it doesn't stop me from having my dark chocolate. :rofl; Anything from your region would be loved.
okarol, you are such a doll for doing this. :yahoo; I'm going to finish all my shopping on Tuesday. I have my Christmas cards done already. Len thinks I have lost my mind. :urcrazy;
You secret santas might try this link to see if you can find out anything.

hey, I took a look and now I know that Boxman has good taste in music :)
Personally, I would love to get a glimpse of someone else's part of the country or the planet through local items. A picture of my SS would be fantastic, because that would go on my fridge where it would remind me every day of the IHD family.
I also love dark chocolate and martinis (but you can't send those through the mail...)
-
I am so happy to be included in the Secret Santa for the first time. I already know what i am getting for mine.
As for me, I am a make-up junkie, esp. lipgloss and eyeshadows. But i am not picky. If my Santa wants to send something from where they are, that would be just fine with me.
-
I love this!!! I bought part of my secret santa gift tonight!!! :clap; It was cheaper than I expected so now I can put some other treats with it.
-
my person is risking a lot if they don't post their likes and dislikes. with my imagination as weird as it is, you never know......

And who did you get? :rofl;

I used a hand drill to aerate my yard. My dad says I'm nuts, but he didn't seem to have a problem sharing the story with his friends! I guess I have a weird sense of humor or something. Oh yeah -- I don't talk a lot in person, but I "talk" too much in writing! :rofl;

OK, since this is my first year to participate in this, I have a couple of questions..........
Should I wrap the gifts or do we just put them in all in a box or how do most of you do it?
Do we put our REAL name (or our screen name) on the outside of the box along with the return address?
I am sure I will have more questions but for now, that is all I need to know! THANKS!!!
-
I think I'll wrap each gift and put in a large box.........not sure about return address or name yet.........what do you all do?
-
G-ma use your name and return address
I sent Kitkatz something and it came back and I am resending it
she is not my secret person
TynyW this is my first time and I have one present in a Christmas bag, some in a stocking, one wrapped and another one in a box- wrapped
I went a little over board but I had lots of fun
do a return address, just in case
-
This is my first time I am joining in as well. I sent mine yesterday and I put Secret Santa as name and my address but they made me put my real name and sign it to say there was nothing suss in the box. I wrapped everything separately and then put it in a box. Had to send it early as it is going over the other side of the world - can't get much further away.
If anyone gets a box with a red card on it - not giving anything away because I had to put my name on the front of the box anyhow - I taped down the card because I forgot to put it in the box so it is not just an address label. I put a separate card on each pressie just to let you know which part of the world it came from! It was great fun. Definitely want to do it again next year. It is so much fun buying a Christmas present for someone different. Do you have to wait until Christmas to open it??
-
Lucinda, I will be looking for the package with the red card to arrive on my doorstep! :rofl; Whoever is your secret santa will have a lovely gift.
Kim, Don't stress. We all just want a little something to remind us about our great friends here. Maybe you have my name?? !! I like rocks and leaves! :rofl; No seriously, I like to bring home a rock from places I visit----strange, I know!
-
me too Paris...love rocks......
Ann
-
Funny, I just finished a walk on the beach, picked up kidney shaped rocks - love em!
-
My Mom also collected rocks and I got to keep her's too. And now, Zeke, likes to look for special rocks. (My Mom would lick rocks to bring out the color in them! She was a naturalist) I don't lick rocks!
G-ma and Okarol, I am in good company :cuddle; So whoever has our names could just send us a rock from their area! We are cheap -- well, maybe not cheap, just easy --- no that doesn't sound right either. :rofl;
-
:santahat; I went shopping today! This is fun!!! I didn't get everything I wanted to today, but I have half of my Secret Santa pal's gift ready! :santahat;
-
I am not telling my secret santa a thing
I am pm'ing every other member and telling them
I AM SORT OF KEEPING MY GIFT SECRET :yahoo;
-
You did not PM me... =( I feel left out. hee hee
-
I thought you were the first one I pm'ed
I am trying not to bother people by pm'ing them twice about the same thing
HOLY SHIT
I thought I was pm'ing you and I just posted everything I got her or him and him or her's name
thank God o'karol told me how to modify
HOLY SHIT
-
:rofl; The real holiday surprise will to see how twirl gets through the next 6 weeks without spilling the beans!
-
Hey, whoever twirl is secret santa to can you please just tell her when you get your parcel that you know it is her so she can then have the delight in informing everybody on IHD who she was secret santa to. Put the poor girl out of her misery!!!
-
ha ha ha Poor Twirl! She almost spilled the whole can of beans.
-
Twirl, how are you going to make it until Christmas? You need to join a Secret Santa anonymous group :rofl;
-
Thanks Paris... :rofl; yes I had a friend that always told people I was cheap and easy...not a great way to get "friends"... :rofl;
Actually if you boil the rocks in salt water it will bring out the color..my hubby collected crystal and that's what he did, also try rubbing alcohol..we all have that.........
-
G-ma, we must be related somehow! I use the alcohol method--but my Mom was a character. She did get everyone's attention, though!
But, I don't want lumps of coal in my stocking! :rofl;
-
I am mailing everything Friday
get of off my hands
and then I can relax :rofl;
-
I would have loved to have known your mom...I love characters...like twirl...how funny...she is going to drop the bomb on her SS..next year we will have to do this for her so she doesn't know who she has...just let her buy the gifts...one of my sisters is like this...really funny with gifts and secrets.
-
Twirl, you won't relax until your secret santa opens the presents! Are you getting anxious to know who has your name?? Maybe it is me! Now you are going to start worrying about that!! :rofl;
-
:waving; Twirl I hope it's me ;D
-
I never even think about how has my name
I get too excited about what I give
I really never wait anything
I did get my steam mop like on tv and I love it
-
I am mailing everything Friday
get of off my hands

twirl, i really think relaxing is an impossibility for you :cuddle;

I agree! Relax is not in Twirls vocabulary! We love your energy. :2thumbsup;
-
you love your steam mop?!?
-
I sent the package. I hope it arrived okay. Are people posting when the package arrives at their house? I know I was the early bid, ut I was sending four packages to various places and went a little overboard getting things out early. My daughter in Wisconsin got her package. So where the secret santa went it should have arrived by now.
-
I'll be mailing my gift this weekend. I want to add one other thing before it goes! I hope my gift receiver likes it, because they never posted their likes. I know I'd like it!!! ;D
-
I am hoping to get my gift package together this weekend and mailed on Monday. :cheer:
-
I did get my steam mop like on tv and I love it
Twirl you really crack me up. :rofl;
:bow; When are you coming to mop my floors? :-*
-
the newness of the mop wore off
:yahoo;
-
No package on my doorstep, Kitkatz :(
-
Hehehehehehehe! Are you trying to figure out who your secret santa is, Paris? I ain't telling.
-
Secret Santa has been launched
-
Uhoh! Beware of ticking time bomb in the mail!
-
Ok, now I am waiting for Twirls present to arrive at my door!! :waiting;
-
I'll be mailing my gift this weekend. I want to add one other thing before it goes! I hope my gift receiver likes it, because they never posted their likes. I know I'd like it!!! ;D

I hope my secret santa likes gift cards! lol

Mailed mine today. :flower;
-
I am going to get my SS gift this week and mail it Friday. I am so excited! I know exactly what I am getting them.... they said one thing that they like and they also said that they would like something from my area... well, it just so happens that something that they like is made here in my area! I am sooo excited... Hope my SS likes it as much as I would!
P.S..... thank you agiain Okarol for arranging all of this. I have not had much time to post, but you guys are like family to me!
-
I sent my gift on Saturday. I hope it's ok. I sort of "compiled" my person's likes into one thing that kind of encompasses them all. Happy holidays to my special person! :waving;
-
If I believe my husband my SS gift was mailed today! :rofl;
I hope you enjoy it SS!!!!!! :clap;
-
:yahoo; I mailed my this morning. :waving;
-
W&W if I am your ss I hope you mailed me two little yorkies
-
I am SO FREAKIN lost as what to get my SS :banghead;
-
I am SO FREAKIN lost as what to get my SS :banghead;
Go to the dollar store - buy 20 useful and inspiring things - mail 'em. :rofl;
-
I truly suck at shopping ,,waaaaaaaa no more talk about getting the perfect gift!!!! TO much pressure! :sir ken;
-
Oh Kimmie,
look at the adorable dog you picked out
YOU CAN DO IT
I hate to shop unless it is a gift for someone else
YOU GOT WHEELS
-
Just get them something you would like and relax. Whatever you send, they will like.
-
Kim, wish I was next door and we could go shopping together. I, also, hate shopping. Don't stress and make this hard on you. Gift card for a book or music store would work for anyone. Remember this is FUN!! (I say as I stress over my own shopping - :rofl; )
-
I might just put my box in the mail tomorrow :santahat;
:christmastree; :rudolph; :snowman; :rudolph; :christmastree; <-- I just love these!
-
Mailed mine today! Hope my SS likes it! :snowman;
-
Kim, If you have my name, I'll be prefectly happy if you send me Buster Brown!
-
hahahah no Buster Brown for you, you seem to have the same type of dog as my sister tho, what is she?
-
Mr Tigger is a yorkie mix. Maybe a yorkie-poo, but I don't know for sure since he's from a rescue. He has some sort of neuroligcal problem that's caused him to be mostly blind. Sometimes I think he can see because he'll walk around something on the floor. The next day he might walk into a wall. My vet thinks he might've been deprived of oxygen at birth.
-
wait a minute
I think I asked for Buster Brown a few posts ago
I was first to ask
-
aww Deanne, what a sin , he is very VERY cute tho, nope Twirl I don't remember you asking
-
Well I rode up to the store in my electric chair ( 30min ride), got an empty box, some tape and tissue wrap, made it back home in 25 degree weather ( kin ya tell I am looking for a little sympathy) now when my hands warm up, it is time to wrap and box it up. :santahat; Boxman

That's why we call you the BOXMAN. 55 has to do with the speed you drive!
-
Ahhh,Boxman---you poor thing! What dedication ---is the present for me?? :rofl; Does it help to know that we had a snow shower today? Here in Raleigh! Sun was shining and snow flakes were swirling! It is way too cold for us this early. Thanks for getting the box and tape so you could mail my present! I really do appreciate it. :cuddle;
-
I thought Box had my name! (At least, that's what twirl told me! :rofl; :rofl; ).
Paris, we had snow flurries way down here (southeast NC) today, too. About one o'clock, one of my students blurted out (in the middle of a big vocabulary test), "It's SNOWING !!" Of course, I laughed it off. Sure enough, I looked out the window, and the flurries were flying! Nothing stuck -- the sidewalk didn't even get wet good. It lasted for about 30 minutes. It was beautiful to see.
-
no, I didn't
blame me - I'm the only member unshamed enough to admit I have a problem
did I tell Dr. Phil called :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
the first step in this 20 step program is to admit - there is a problem >:D
-
Boxman
I had to go in 78 degree weather to get my ss stuff
- you had the atmosphere and the real snow decorations
I had all that fake snow
geeze, you have snow---- not from a can
the only 25 degree place here is my D center
-
:rofl; :rofl; ;D :urcrazy;
-
Oh Poor Boxman. Went all that way to get a box and found out the gift will not fit into it. And the air holes just were not in the right place. :rofl; :rofl;
-
Boxman is sending a gerbil
it is wearing a little Santa outfit
please do not tell him I told
I promised I would keep it a secret
-
BOXMAN! BOXMAN! Twirl told us you are sending a gerbil in a Santa hat! Is this true? Huh?
-
Thank you to those Santa's who have either posted or let me know that they have mailed their packages.
If you receive a package, I would appreciate knowing so I can make my list, checking it twice. :thx;
-
Everytime I think I'm ready to close the package I find another thing to put in it..............what to do???? :bandance;
-
:yahoo; :christmastree; MY PRESENT IS HERE :christmastree; :yahoo;
The shake is tantalizing. Both heft and thumpiness, with a tad bit of rattle roll.
I have to wait until Christmas to open it? More than a month from now? I have never been very patient...
OOPS, is it supposed to be a secret when it arrives?
Thank you Secret Santa :guitar:
-
You are supposed to post when you get your box as well as when you send your box.
Where is my box already? I want to pet it and stroke it and fluff its feathers until December 25.
-
like you are so strange
stroke it and pet it and then rip it open :clap;
-
I can wait. I have will power.
-
Somebody send me snow! I'm a transplanted Minnesotan. We don't get much snow here and mostly I'm glad of that. I love to look at it and hear it crunch underfoot. I even like to shovel it. But then I want it gone. It's kind of like being satisfied by one little piece of Dove chocolate instead of needed to get sick by eating the whole bag in one sitting.
Boxmn, I like gerbils, too if that's why your box needs airholes. I'm afraid my cats & dachshund would like them, too, but I can work with that.
-
so, Pelagia
-
so, Pelagia
WHO WAS YOUR SECRET PAL
-
Petey, wasn't that wild seeing snow so early? Only for a few minutes, but we had to stop and watch. Put me in a festive mood.
Gerbils? I thought maybe Boxman was mailing himself! :rofl;
-
Boxman would have to mail himself in pieces.
-
:flower; BOUGHT :flower;
-
Yeah, Pelgia who was your secert pal? huh? huh? huh? Well, have you even opened it yet? ;D
-
she does not have to open her package
just look on the return address on the package
and then let us know
:yahoo;
-
Last year we waited until Christmas day to open gifts from our Secret Santa's (except those Aussies got a one day jump on us!)
-
My return address says Secret Santa with my real address.
Just in case it comes back :-(
-
Petey, wasn't that wild seeing snow so early? Only for a few minutes, but we had to stop and watch. Put me in a festive mood.
It was wild! I've lived in NC for about 25 years now, and I never, never remember snow this early for us.
Gerbils? I thought maybe Boxman was mailing himself! :rofl;
I like gerbils (hint, hint Boxman), but I'm afraid that Hop-Sing would think a gerbil was his snack -- either that or he'd think the gerbil was a monster sent to chase him and Hop-Sing would go and hide under the bed. Better pick something else for me, Boxman.
-
Can you picture Hop-Sing hiding from a gerbil. :waving;
-
yes
W&W and I can picture W&W after a mole
wasn't it a mole
I used you would bump that story so new members could read it
:rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
and you had on a plaid robe or nightgown
-
Twirl....
who did you get for SS?
-
i thought I pm'ed you and told you who and what presents
see -- this is an intervention
instead of telling the person I got---- I told everyone else
and asked them not to tell
that's me plan
-
She got. Someone lucky :clap;
-
oh ok, now I am wainting for the PM, you PM me and I will PM you back >:D
-
:oops;
You mean that wasnt a chain PM you sent me twirl.
Where i was suppose to send it to ten other people.
-
paul... I think you were just supposed ta send it to me, ya thats it, just me >:D
-
oh no Paul Karen
you broke the chain and now your pants are going to fall off
hope you are at home
:clap;
what a clever idea to put Santa and then your address
darn - I did not think of that
but my SS knows my address
I forgot to wonder who got my name
I am so excited about my shopping

-

But we will make up for it on Christmas if not.
-
I have to wrap mine tonight,,, I am getting excited
Secret Santa Rocks the jazz bar!!!!
-
Wow Boxman..I just noted your dedication. I do think you need to harness the reindeer to help you out in this weather. It was 18 degrees here in Charlotte this morning...I really wanted to call in too cold for D but I went..oh well. :bandance;
-
Boxman would have to mail himself in pieces.
Paris I am on my way I will show up in pieces the fun part will be finding my foot...Boxman
-

:rofl;
-
Boxman, you can send yourself to me and I wouldn't waste too much time looking for the other foot. Your are wonderful. :cuddle;
-
Thank you all, I did really send the package today and splurged for the extra postage so you all will get it quick and will have to suffer longer to wait to open it...Boxman
-
I know
Boxman can be like a chain letter
send him to WW and then to me and after 10 days I will send him to Kimmie and so on and so on
we will all have amazing luck
Boxman - you lucky ss does not have to wait until Christmas to open the box
would that be too long for a gerbil to be boxed up
-
Kimmie I pm'ed you and you did not pm me back
break a pm promise and you know what happens
don't you?
-
Boxman - you lucky ss does not have to wait until Christmas to open the box
would that be too long for a gerbil to be boxed up
You forgot I am from Wisconsin, I packed it with cheese curds to keep it alive...Boxman
-
That box will be icky when it gets here!
-
cheese curds is that like cottage cheese
and we have plans to mail you around and share
yes, it may be icky but think how grateful that gerbil will be
-
This time I really plan on sending mine out this week and not taking a detour to the hospital :oops;
-
Hey Chris!!! :clap;
-
Hi Chris...I promise to finish my box tonight errrr tomorrow and UPS it.............. :cheer:
-
Chris
take care of yourself
glad you are back on
missed you, kid
-
You know there are 9 and 12 dollar priority mail boxes at the post office. Cheaper that way. I use them a lot. I can stuff as much stuff into them as I can then mail them. That is how my daughter gets her care packages at college. All you have to do is ask the post office people for the boxes. Often they are right in front of the counter.
Hey Boxman we could play hide the foot cross the nation! :rofl;
-
My gift is going out tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bandance; :cheer: :bandance; :cheer: :bandance; :cheer:

Hey Boxman we could play hide the foot cross the nation! :rofl;

My return address says Secret Santa with my real address.
Just in case it comes back :-(
So, your address is as the "addressee" AND the return address too?
-
Tyny, address it to the person using his or her real name and under the real name put thier "nickname" and I would do the same for the return address...Boxman
-
OK, so I just put my screen name and my real name in the box? Sorry, but this is my first year particpating.............

and my husband's birthday is 4 days before Christmas
:stressed;
okarol will be so busy resending all our presents to the right ss
she will need a sleigh and some raindeer
and a few drinks
::)
-
Thanks twirl.
Please do not forward any gerbils to me.
:rudolph;
-
This is Fred he will be knocking on your doors soon...Boxman
-
but Fred is so cute
and he has a little Santa outfit
and you already have a cat and a dog and a turtle
and sons and daughters
a gerbil will complete your family
-
Is a Gerbil a Guinea Pig? :waiting;
-
No, it's more like the rat family - a rodent - called "desert rats" - cute but my cats would go nuts - thanks anyway twirl.
I don't have a dog but I want one. I have 4 desert tortoises and my brother just called. He found another one wandering through his yard so soon I will have 5. :urcrazy;
-
you could have turtle races and the gerbil could be the referee...Boxman
-
I got mail! :bandance; :bandance; :bandance; Thank you Secret Santa! I don't think it's a gerbil, but I guess I'll have to wait until Christmas to know for sure.
My gerbil's name was Wanda-mouse. I snuck her into my college dorm room and she lived in my closet. No pets were allowed. I used to let her loose to run around the room for exercise. Luckily, I had a very understanding roommate.
-
In my first year of university, my roomate and I bought a pair of gerbils. We named them Pyramus and Thisbe (after the star-crossed lovers in A Midsummer Night's Dream) and they were very cute. We also let them run free all around our room. Until the day I was laying on my bed, reading, and Thisbe scurried over to me, I petted her a bit and when I stopped she ran up my and bit me quite hard on the end of my nose. I flung her across the room, not hard enough to hurt her and took them both in to a Pet Shop that afternoon to be given away free to a good home. I did say that if noone wanted them the shop should let me know because we didn't want them killed. They found them a home.
Still waiting for my secret santa and to hear when mine arrives. I mailed it on Saturday past.
-
Once bit twice shy hey...Boxman

Good I'll send you all the crap I don't want!! >:D
-
I would probably take it.

kitkatz would take it
that girl loves her packages :rofl;

Mine is off and sent. P.O. says it will be there in 6 to 10 days, or at least by Christmas :rofl; :santahat; :snowman; :christmastree; :rudolph;
Hope they are not hungry when they try to open one o them :rofl; :rofl;
Just look for the note inside and ask "Am I?"
-
My package will be posted in the morning. It's sitting on the kitchen table with mone for postage. Hubby just better remember to post it!!! I put it in his breakfast spot. He'll have to move it to eat breakfast so hopefully that will remind him!! :santahat; :snowman; :rudolph;
-
My secret santa gift was placed in santa's sleigh this morning and is on the way!!! :snowman; :santahat;
-
I forgot to post that mine has been sent. Also, the contents are wrapped individually so when my package arrives, you can open it without opening the gifts :clap; :santahat; :christmastree; :rudolph; My granddaughter, Paxton (5), was helping me with wrapping paper and ribbons, so you can imagine how the presents look!
-
No wonder why the P.O. was mad at me, I wrapped the box I was shipping and stuck the address labels and postage on the bow itself. :oops;
:rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
Whaaaa! :'( I didn't wrap my box!!! I didn't even think about it! I did remember to include a handmade Christmas card, though.
-

No worries kellyt I didn't wrap mine either...Boxman
-
I mailed mine last Friday after D
and you may open the box
the stocking in taped - has several things in it
one present is in a bag I taped shut
and one is in wrapping paper
and one present is in bubble wrap -- just do not remove the bubble wrap and you will be okay :waving;
-
I included a homemade Christmas card too!!

You and I think alike, Twirl. Make it really hard to get into so you won't be tempted! My philosophy on presents is that while they are wrapped, they could be anything in the world. Anything your imagination can think of. When you open it, it could be a disappointment. I love a wrapped present and it can sit there forever being anything I want it to be! I think my logic goes back to my 12th birthday. It was summer and I was staying with family friends for a few weeks in Washington DC. It was my birthday, and I got a small package from Mom! I was so very excited to get mail and was really getting homesick. So, I opened it with the friends (including 6 children)watching and it was a bra!! With a note saying "I thought you might need this". So, the package was much more exciting than the actual gift. Please, Secret Santa, don't be cruel (unless it is Victoria's Secret!). :rofl;

Mine is all set...I mailed it from work though so it probably won't be processed until Monday or Tuesday. Either way, it will definitely be there by the beginning of December! :bandance;
-
:bandance; :bandance; mine is in the mal :santahat; :snowman; :christmastree; :rudolph;

I got a box today!! :clap; Hubby will have to hide it or I will open it!
-
Dear Secret Santa, I am not patient, but I will wait for the next 35 days 1 hour and 40 minutes until Christmas!
http://holidays.bfn.org/xmas/countdown.html
What if there is a gerbil inside?? :secret;
[/quote
then, only 33 days, 1 hour and 36 minutes for it to try to chew its way through the box >:D

imagine the surprise on the receipent's face when the box walks away! :rofl;
But, when I was mailing my present it asked to make sure there were no illegal items or animals...
-
No wonder why the P.O. was mad at me, I wrapped the box I was shipping and stuck the address labels and postage on the bow itself. :oops;
:rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
Hey Chris, I recieved the bow, thanks...Boxman
-
I did not wrap my box either...........nor did I think about wrapping it............oh well, live & learn maybe next year, I will do better...........but as far as waiting until Christmas to open my presents, I like to wait as I love surprises................ :bandance;
-
Santa picked up my xmas gift on Nov. 19th and it is enroute to NC :bandance;
-
wow
what if you flew it there in person
so cool
ps
I do not live in NC :waiting;

I am not allergic to any type of candy I always smell good and I have been known to be a clown...Boxman
three characteristics of a good man
-
I agree, Twirl. I can't believe Boxman's not married already.
-
I know, Kellyt, and he is super cute
and he is kind to animals
and he knows how to read
the list just keeps getting better and better
-
I'd marry Boxman but Len might not like it much. :rofl;
-
I'd marry Boxman but Len might not like it much. :rofl;
I have some nice single girlfriends, but they are all Democrats :-*
-
I'd marry Boxman but Len might not like it much. :rofl;
I'd marry Boxman, too, but...there's that gerbil fettish he has...then, what would I do with Marvin?...and, besides, I'm holding out for RichardMel !
(By the way, Okarol, my Secret Santa package has been sent! I hope it gets there safe and sound and soon.)
-
:shy; I started the gerbil rumor
Boxman, being the gentleman that he is, just went along with it
:rofl;
-
Some gerbils are cuter than others
-
put a bushy tale on him and he would look like a squirrel
-
put a bushy tale on him and he would look like a squirrel
Twirl, That's not a very nice thing for you to say about Boxman... :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
:rofl;
-
oooooooooooo no gerbils for me please. They look too much like rats. And rats are the things
that make me dance on the table.
Mimi
-
Oh Okarol I forgot to mention it will Tuesday before I can mail my secret santa box. One of the
things won't be in till Monday.
Mimi
-
Rats and gerbils! Oh my we are getting pretty exotic on here with our gift ideas.
-
I'd marry Boxman but Len might not like it much. :rofl;
I'd marry Boxman, too, but...there's that gerbil fettish he has...then, what would I do with Marvin?...and, besides, I'm holding out for RichardMel !
-
You know me, I'm always one to be helpful - now don't worry about Marvin, I'll take him off your hands :rofl; :rofl; I can take Len too if that's any help...................or would it be easier if I took Boxman, after all I think these gerbils are cute :rofl; :rofl;
Sorry I missed to get on the gift exchange list this year with Dad being in hospital but it sounds like you are all having fantastic fun choosing your gifts, hope to be able to join in next year, in the meantime here's a bunny for all of you who don't like gerbils :bunny:
Edited: Fixed smiley error - Boxman, Moderator

I'm sure we would all be happy to have you send us gifts just to stay in practice this year. Have a great Thanksgiving.

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK but I wish a very Happy Thanksgiving to all of my US 'family'

I know his address
I sent him a card once
:2thumbsup;
-
I recieved my secret santa present today! Thanks so much SS!
-
I just received a box too! Thanks Secret Santa! :yahoo;
Some members are mailing their packages a little late - they should all go out soon.
I confess. I am late sending mine too 8) but hope to send it tomorrow morning.
-
Mine is going out a little late. I'm waiting on something I ordered. Soon!!
-
Hmmm, now go back and reread the topic "About our members" and try to figure out who your secret santa is. :shy;
-
Chris!!!!!! Did you do that! I'm shocked!!!!! (if you want a tip for figuring it out, I can help you).
I'm getting worried that I haven't seen my Santa-ee post that he / she has received a package yet. I sent it over a week ago.
-
:flower;
I was a little late sending mine out too... It went out yesterday morning. Hope my person likes it :flower;
-
I sent my package two weeks ago and obviously still hasn't made it to the recipient. Mind you, it is coming from Australia. Still I send things to this part of the world quite a lot and it never usually takes two weeks. I sent Cheree's off for her last week and even with the transplant she was really organised with gifts for her santee. I hope mine gets to its recipient soon. xx
-
Lucinda, I keep checking my mail box! :rofl; :rofl;

Please post updates here http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=11242.0 Sent/Received list

I got my gift!!!! :yahoo; It is a BIG box. I think I know who it is but I have to go read the post about our members.
:yahoo; :yahoo; :yahoo;
-
Stupid! :banghead; Stupid! :banghead; Stupid! :banghead; I put my return address label on my box. Does that ruin the fun?
Man, I'm not good at Secret Santa!!!
Mine is a "Not So Secret Santa". Sorry Secret Santa Receiver.

Don't worry Kelly. I did too because I thought if it was lost at least it would come back to me. Without any authority at all, I forgive you.
-
It is fine to put your return address and NAME!
:clap;
I may be all wrong!..... I'll know for sure December 25th at 1 minute after midnight.
-
I took my box to the post office today. Sorry it was late, but I sent it 2 day. I had to wait for my husband to make something for me. And I'm sorry, Secret Pal, for the wrapping as well. I'm a terrible wrapper.
-
I thought the same thing, Monrein. Also, I got some really cute Christmas return labels from St. Jude Organization.
-
Chris!!!!!! Did you do that! I'm shocked!!!!! (if you want a tip for figuring it out, I can help you).
I'm getting worried that I haven't seen my Santa-ee post that he / she has received a package yet. I sent it over a week ago.
Nope, just thought of it while trying to do homework.
So how did everyone ship theirs? I mean did youadd deliivery confirmation, insurance, or other means to track it? All I did was add insurance to mine, which I "asume" you can see if it was delivered. Wasn't sure if I should have added delivery confirmation.
-
I got my gift!!!! :yahoo; It is a BIG box. I think I know who it is but I have to go read the post about our members.
:yahoo; :yahoo; :yahoo;
Since it is not a small box, we can rule out it is a gerbil? :rofl; :rofl;
On the other hand, is the box big enough for the mini pincher you wanted and does it have any holes in the box? ;D :santahat;
-
I put my return address on it and insured it!!
-
All my packages were insured and sent early. I did not want Santa to be too involved in the rush gig at the beginning of the 25 th of December!
-
WOW~~Hooray Hooray,
I mailed my Santa box today!!!
This has been lots of fun.
I'm ready to do it again next year.
Love, Mimi
-
I might just keep my SS all year and give surprises sometimes....that I enjoy doing.
-
I wrote my address and insured it
and ReRun
gerbils need big boxes for the cage with the exercise running thing for it
and min-pins like to eat gerbils
so maybe your ss sent a present for your min-pin to chase and then CHOMP :o
-
I got my box today.....very exciting. Ha Ha....we get Christmas Day a whole day before you guys so we get to see our gifts first!!! :clap;

well, that's not fair

I got a slip in the mail box when I got home from dialysis an insured piece of mail was attempted to be delv. Now I have to figure out how to get to the Post Office to retrieve it. At least I can't open it ;D ...Boxman
-
Isn't there a place on back of the notice that allows you to sign and give to the mailman to bring the item to you??? Just a thought.
-
The package is sitting in my chair in my office. I WANT to open it. Can't we say tomorrow is Christmas? Puhhhllleeeease!
-
:rofl; opening it won't do you any good....ha ha he he....so go ahead..... don't you love this...just don't let the box get warm..... :bandance;

Mine is up on a shelf calling my name. We should draw numbers and open one a day until Christmas. I'm first.
-
kitkatz...have you heard of dry ice???? he he he...
boxman...hold your horses..I plan on baking some before Christmas and because you asked so nicely I will send you some...just need your address...BTW all others...I only do one free order a year....well maybe sluff too but that's it....just cuz he's the boss... :cheer:
-
I walked by where mine is hidden yesterday so I took it out for a small shake. ;D
-
Boxman send the money and I'll bake anything
I would bake you some cookies just because you are "The Boxman"
but would the chocolate melt and how would I mail them=== bubble wrap
-
Isn't there a place on back of the notice that allows you to sign and give to the mailman to bring the item to you??? Just a thought.
I will try that...Thanks G-Ma
-
G-Ma thanks you don't have to do that I was just kidding but OK I will PM my address just in case :-* ...Boxman
Twirl they won't melt it is 25 degrees out and bubble wrap would be fun
-
I got my package today. Thank you!!
CosmicKelly :)
-
monrein, monrein, tsk tsk tsk along with my grandma's finger...if it was hidden how could you find it to give it a shake???? :rofl;
-
Well I hid it so....what can I say. ( giggling mischieviously at your grandma's tsk tsking finger). I know. I was just checking to see if my memory was working.
-
monrein if you keep shaking me I will have to make a sound and fall out of the Box man.

Your very thoughtful Secret Santa insured it and I guess that's why they want you to sign for it.
Did you get it yet?
-
yes I did :2thumbsup; :clap; ...Boxman
-
Mine is on it's way to my SS. :2thumbsup;
-
Lilbajanne and I were only able to send our gifts out yesterday (Monday) as we sent them from the US Virgin Islands, so they would be domestic mail. However, we sent them Priority mail. Hope the recipients get them soon and were not too impatient.
Haven't got mine as yet.
-
Who had the idea to send the packages out soooo early??? :urcrazy;
I can't stand having it sit there just looking at me!! It is torture to a girl who use to hunt out all presents. :bow; :bow;
It will be a miracle if I last to Christmas. :shy;
-
I almost got into mine last night so today I'm going to ask my husband to hide it. If I search and actually find it, well then I might think I've earned it. Oh drat.
-
Who had the idea to send the packages out soooo early??? :urcrazy;
I am wondering the same thing. I don't remember getting the box this early last year. I put it on a shelf and have tried to tell myself that it will keep til Christmas.
This is reminding me of the Seinfeld episode where "the four main characters devise a contest to see who can go the longest without pleasuring him/herself."
-
:rofl; That was a great episode and such a lovely turn of phrase Karol. :rofl;
-
:snowman;
Boxman, your recipient has received your gift.
paul.karen - Your gift will be sent to you today.
Jess21 - Your gift is on it's way.
TynyWonder - Your gift is in the mail.
Sluff - You should receive your gift soon.
:santahat;
-
Hehehe. I wonder if my gift is driving my secret pal crazy with its squeaking and cries for food and water :rofl;
-
My box is calling my name!

mY box is calling my name also >:D

:oops; :shy;
I opened just the big box that it came in! And saw pretty blue bubble wrap which I love and will use in some gifts that I need to send in the mail! Thank you Twirl-Girl! AND I saw some pretty Christmas confetti. There is a hanger? That is all I saw. :bandance; :rudolph; :santahat;
There are some gifts wrapped and I'll save those for Christmas I hope!!!
-
Rerun, rerun, rerun. :rofl;
-
I did not open the outer box because it would make it more tempting!
-
I officially have NO will power...... the box has been opened!! :shy;
Luckily for me my Secret Santa wrapped the presents and just seeing them was enough for now. I told you I was not to be trusted! :bow;
-
:Kit n Stik; :oops;
-
Wattle, apparently your Secret Santa knew you had a box opening problem and tried to keep you from spoiling the surprise. :rofl; Now, take a deep breath and walk slowly away from the presents. :rofl;
-
Hey! Yeah you! Walk away from that box of presents! No peaking at any of them! Yes! I mean you there with the gleam in your eye. No lookie, no touchie!
Wait a minute, What do you mean I should talk? My box is still closed and sealed. What do you mean put that knife down. Do not approach my box?
-
Is it bad of me to wrap a present 4 times with notes in between them? :rofl;
-
I've put my box off to the side, intact in the original wrapping. I manage to put it out of sight, so out of mind. And then I come here and y'all are talking about peeking. Knock it off! :rofl;
-
I have not touched mine!!! It is sitting on my coffee table right in front of me. I haven't even taken the outside paper off because I am afraid it is not wrapped inside!! When I get my tree up I will put it underneath my tree. I have always been like that not wanting to open gifts until Christmas morning!! Hubby never has to hide anything. I don't even go looking!! I know some of you want to :Kit n Stik; me.
-
I am sooooo good. I have not opened the box...it is by my tree. I lift it once a day just because, hope my will power holds out... :bandance;
-
I'm like Dell; I can sit here and not even think of opening it. Of course that would work better if I had a SS present :rofl; :rofl; But, I hate ruining surprises and never open anything early.

Mine are still not opened, although one cat started to chew the paper a litle. So now they are in my closet, out of sight outta mind. Although one is starting to smell a little ripe! :rofl; :rofl;

Might as well!

Wish I could say mine was tempting me, but I too have no problems... and no gift yet to open. Humbug.... And the one I sent should have been there by now and I haven't heard anything from that person yet!!!! That is more frustrating than the other!!! But I can't say anything because it is a secret!!

Your gift is on it's way! It was sent Dec. 2! :bandance;
The gift you sent was received on Dec 5 (see Secret Santa List - SENT and RECEIVED thread) but since we aren't supposed to open it yet - you wouldn't have been contacted. :waving;
-
Thank you for the update! I checked that persons posts and found out they did recv the gift. Yeah!! Now to wait for Christmas!!!! Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!

Actually both were today, but in two seperate closets. For some reason the female cat loves to chew at paper :urcrazy;, especially at 5:30 am that get's me up and kick her out. :banghead;
Then while doing laundry, she went into the downstairs closet and fell asleep.
Might as well!
I'll take one of those pup's! :bandance; ;D

This is pure torture. And I have no place to hide it. Is today only the 7th?

:rofl; Kimmie - I opened the packing box and thought how nice a fan ???
then I opened the fan box and there is a package inside and I DID NOT OPEN THE PACKAGE
and I love the friends pin
darn Kimmie, you wrap so neatly and your writing is so neat
you know what mind look like >:D
can not wait to open the pretty wrapped box but I promise I will
and thanks a million
and if it is a gerbil -- the little fella is making a stiff sounding noise
:thx; :thx; :thx;
after Christmas I am sending you a box of grits
your own grits
it is a Texas thing :cuddle; :cuddle;
-
WOW, very exciting. A large box arrived today, from New Jersey, filled with many packages, a Christmas Stocking and a Christmas Card.
I can't wait to open them, but I will..........If I can.
I have no idea, but would love to know who my secret Santa is so I can thank her/him. :cuddle;
-
I am weak... I opened the outer gift praying there would be a wrapped gift inside - as it would look better under the tree than a brown box. Ha Ha! And there it was!!!! I did go so far as to read the card - and I WANT TO THANK JILL D.!!!!!!!!!!!! It brightened my morning!! I am so excited to get something from you Jill as I felt connected to you before anyway as we are about the same age and well with you going through the transplant two years ago, I have always read up on your stories about it. How cool!!!!! :) Thank you for the soap - I collect them! I have a large glass jar next to my tub with soaps in it - just perfect! But it smells so good I may use that one soon. And I can't wait to open the rest, they are sitting under my tree - the only gifts there so far. Much better looking than the brown box!! And I have a piece of the candy in my mouth right now. Minty!! :) I can't believe you made them, I have never made candy. Yumm! I am so happy - I needed this today!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I agree but who decided to do this so early? They must like to torture people! What kind of spirit is that???? Lol.

It is called the anticipation spirit of Christmas.
Now no more opening of those boxes! :Kit n Stik; :Kit n Stik; People were good last year!
-
Well I agree but who decided to do this so early? They must like to torture people! What kind of spirit is that???? Lol.
Because some members are sending from UK or Australia, there needs to be plenty of time allotted.
Believe me, my box sitting in my office tempts me every day - but I will save it for Christmas morning - it's special! :cheer:
>:D That said, I am nibbling on chocolate every chance I get - so I guess that's the trade off - LOL! :rofl;
-
I did only open the box it was shipped in which only had my name and nothing else. There are still gifts inside that are wrapped and under my tree!! :christmastree; I wanted to see nif it was from my ss or what!!

I wanted to take mine out of the shipping container it came in, so I played it safe and had my mom open the box it came in. But it was wrapped anyway! :bandance;

I only opened the box and nothing else. I don't have the temptation to open it early. I was taught young not topen presents early (worst Christmas ever as a kid with nothing to do on Christmas day).
-
Tried to delete entry somehow posted in wrong forum subject.
-
I'm going to get hubby to check my gifts to see if they are wrapped inside. They will look nicer under the tree out of the brown paper (when I get a tree!!!)
-
Last year I received my gift on Christmas Eve!!!
-
That's helpful - no waiting!!!!!
-
Santa dropped off my present today! :bandance;
-
last year since i was going to be in oregon on the 25th, we had our christmas here on the 20th. this year however i'm not going to oregon until january, maybe that wasn't such good planning. however i have lunch with deanne to look forward to, can't wait, just as good as christmas!

I know it's getting closer to Christmas now...Santa came to the dialysis clinic yesterday! :santahat;
Although, he did sound like one of the techs... :rudolph;
But he did know they were having problems with my access earlier in my treatment! He DOES see everything!! :santahat;
Plus the social worker was his elf. Who knew?!? :snowman;

Can we play "Guess what is in the box"? My guess is dark chocolate is somewhere in the box, since everyone knows me and my love of chocolate! My boxes are still unopened and pristine!
-
My guess..is that there is a gift in the present!
Oh wait..
-
One of mine is round. I had a round container once of the same size of fudge. Wisconsin does have a good fudge company up there
;D
-
Oh Man! Four days to wait till we open packages! Mine are still here all unopened and in boxes! I have patience. Hubby and I have decided to wait to open them until the family and friends have gone home on Christmas Day. I want to unwrap my special friend presents with him quietly and enjoy thinking about each and everyone of you. Pictures will be taken.
Four days! :christmastree; :snowman; :santahat; :christmastree; :rudolph;
-
I have been a good girl and waiting to open the rest. I think it helped the candy she made was the unwrapped part. That way when I get to wanting to open my gift, I just go pop a piece of her candy in my mouth instead!! Thanks again Jill D!
-
I got the cutest Christmas Card/Thank you from my SS receiver today! You're welcome!! I can't wait for you to open your gift on Christmas morning! Happy Holidays! :christmastree; :snowman; :santahat; :rudolph;
-
I'm fine, I don't think about my packages and then I read this thread!
-
3 Days Left :rofl; :rofl;
Then you can quit :waiting; :waiting; and :stressed;
-
I had to put my SS and "not SS" presents in a different room so that I wouldn't see them every day. Weeks of waiting is just more than I can take. Now the tree is finally up and I'll be putting the presents in their rightful place. With only a few days left to go, it'll be fun to walk past the tree and wonder what's in the packages. :rudolph;
-
Tuesday, Wednesday, then Thursday! Christmas! :christmastree; :christmastree;
-
Don't forget to have someone snap a :pics; of you opening your SS gift!!! And/or wearing it, eating it, feeding it, etc.
-
I took a picture of them under the tree, still wrapped to.

I'm glad the candy is helping you behave yourself until Christmas Traci! By the way, your tastebuds are right on - the black candy is licorice (actually anise) - I love that flavor too! Not everyone does, so that is just another thing we have in common! :cuddle;
-
Mine is still in the Big box it was shipped in because I didn't know if it's wrapped or not. I look at it ALL the time.....
FYI- did you know anise is good for heartburn and upset stomach.
-
Note to ourselves - next year we will wrap our presents before we mail them!
-
Have you looked Pelagia????
:waiting;
-
I did wrap mine....
-
I was so excited today!! :yahoo; I went to st Thomas and collected some mail. In it was a beautiful Thank You card from Trina and Nick (postmarked October!!!) and a box from Okarol. I was just rejoicing at the box (not Secret Santa), when I saw the dreaded "Do not open until Christmas'!!! :stressed;
-
Chris (Smith): If I open the box my SS gift came in is there a wrapped present inside? Or should I just put the big box under the tree? I've been debating checking...

I got hubby to check mine!!!

I did wrap mine....
But then your person can be trusted with a box. :rofl;

Christmas Day is almost over here. It is nearly 5.00pm and we have had a huge day. Been up since about 4.30am and have just now finished cleaning up. Good day though. We are having a bit of a party on Sunday so it was good practice for the 20 or so coming for a barbeque. Cheree and Russell will be there so that will be more like Christmas for me than today. Hope you all have a good one. Thank you so much for your beautiful present Martha. I loved the TShirt - wearing it right now and the baseball hat is great for the weather we are having here at the moment. The calendar has gone straight up on the wall. Love to you all and have a great day tomorrow. Lots of love, Cindy. xx :flower;

Half an hour. I am approaching the box now!

I made it without getting a photo taken of me :yahoo;
I heard a tapping, then a rapping at a door, but just turned out to be a DVD movie playing downstairs :rofl; :rofl;

OOPS I didn't get a photo of me opening it! My SS was Jess21! She sent me a couple of good books and my own four leaf clover growing kit! Thanks Jess!

It was hard and fun doing. Next year I'll make it even harder to open th presents, more wrapping paper! :rofl;
Think Karol needs a vacation though, if she doesn't take one, we'll kidnap her computer(s).
I can suggest a center to go to if she has withdrawl problems :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

JBeany was not my secret Santa, however she sent me a sweet Christmas gift. I am feasting on Kahlua Fudge. I am also wearing an a handmade creation necklace. Plus their were earrings to match. In addition to a small Christmas box and another box she decorated herself and a tin with the fudge. Thanks you so much. Plus a cute card! I have a pic. Thank you JBeany! Through the snow and winter storms your thoughtfulness made it to California.

Okarol was sweet and for Christmas I added an American Flag snowman to my ornament collection. He is sitting with the other snowmen I have out on my display. He will be in the ornaments for next year. Thanks. And thanks for the box for my collection for my birthday present, too. It sits on my dresser!

Slywalker, I was your Secret Santa. I thought the pics of Vic and I were enough clues. Did you get the box and enjoy it?
