O.K., O.K. I admit that I am a 'Guy' and as such MIGHT sometimes be easily confused. So I gotta ask questions to make sure I understand things.
P.M. Cass with details. O.K., Check
Facebook? ALSO having a separate Gift Exchange? Me thinks I need to start READING the FB posts instead of scrolling past them so quickly.
We are being NOTIFIED of our Secret Santa Person by Facebook instead of P.M. this year? Most of this that may be fine, but there could easily be Members to do not Facebook, or, like myself, can often go for days, many many days, before checking FB and by then that particular post could be so far down that I don't even get there.
I suggest any Member that has a problem with FB please leave a note here so we can figure out a better method for that Member.

Not to worry Charlie Facebook Secret Santa is completely separate from THE SITE IHD Secret Santa.
I do have to start a thread with likes and don't likes for our Secret Santas though. So we can start shopping

'Douga'l has asked me to tell people that if his 'pawson' is overseas, to please be patient!...
He's only one little doggy, and has no control over the postal service, apart from slobbering our postman whenever he delivers!!!...
Love to all...
Darth....

My concern(s) are;
1 I am slower than frozen Molasses.
2 Notified of our person Nov 24 and needs to be mailed Dec 1 isn't a lot of time.
3 I am a Guy, don't shop hardly, more like seldom EVER.
4 As a Guy we haven't much of a clule when it comes to gifts.
Can I get a huge Hint?
And a kick in the ........
-
Anyone who is late getting their gifts out will have a huge kick in the pants from Cassandra and me as the admin. I have already rounded up my gifts and they are sitting out to go into boxes. Mine will be out as soon as I get to the post office after the 24th when we get the names and addresses.
The Facebook gift exchange is a separate list from the forums list so you only have to worry about the forums list if that is all you posted your information to. Cassandra does forums. I am doing Facebook. SEPARATE LISTS! Separate exchanges.

:yahoo; i love giving gifts! I cant wait!
-
have the names been sent out yet? I expected to get it yesterday, and there's nothing new in my inbox, so.....
Just wondering
-
I didnt make it to the post office before it closed, so I am posting everything on monday!
-
Gift boxes from Dougal and I sent our gift boxes in the post on Thursday morning!...
Stay out until Christmas... Gifts are not wrapped inside!...
Happy Christmas, All....
Love, Darth.....
P.S.... As there are Secret Santa exchanges happening on both Forums and FB, may I suggest that senders mark the packages with 'IHD Forum SS', please... Removes the confusion where members are participating in both, makes it easier to report when a gift arrives!.....
-
My gift has been mailed as of today. Victor ordered his online and it will be there between now and the 27th of December. There are a few things coming.
-
If you see IHD.com Holiday Gift in marker on your box, there it is. They are not wrapped, so paws off till Christmas.
-
LOL I had to 'Search' to find this thread cause my memory sucks big time.
I think I already posted that I did mail my package over a week ago.
Yesterday I received my package from Ireland. It has a note on it that Santa is watching so I cannot open it until Christmas or I may be on his Naughty list next year.
Thanks Santa!
-
A padded envelope for 'Dougal' the dog has arrived.... And it squeaks.... LOUDLY!!!!!!!!!!....
I'm gonna cry.... Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!....
Thank you, Santa, I think!!!!!!!!....

You're a cruel woman, Kitz!!!!!.....

My package has been sent out, but due to the postal strike, there is a bit of a backlog that they don't think will be cleared by Christmas. Know that it is coming, just unsure of when.
I will say that I received my gift yesterday, which shocked the stuffing out of me
-
Strike?
Maybe I should turn the channel from Discovery once in a while.
-
Strike in Canada I think Charlie ;D . My prezzie received, prezzie send.
I really want to open my prezzie now!!!
-
Cass,
Since you know who sent it, I would let you as I am sure you will enjoy.
I think I made a wise choice. At least I Hope so!

Tracking says mine that went to Canada was delivered.
Victor's is going by Amazon a little at a time and is being received.
-
So who sent me a nice gift? I opened it because it had no return address and no card inside. It is cool and I like it.
-
Guilty.
I saw it at Wal Mart and couldn't help myself.
You're Welcome.
-
Thank you so much. :santahat; :snowman; :christmastree; :rudolph; :rudolph; :rudolph; :rudolph;

Victor has his packages, I have one from Facebook, however the Irish package is sure taking its time getting here!
-
Victor wants to say Thank you to Del for her gifts in the Holiday Gift Exchange, The hat looks good on him and he kissed the sweets.
-
Cas is thanking Charlie for the coffees and teas 😀 Fantastic, can't wait to try them out :cheer:
-
My Secret Santa was Susan....
Thank you SO much!!!... A great box of chocolates (sadly, I can't eat them because I've a nut allergy)... My friend, Lena has given them a quick death, though!!!!... But look at the beautiful little jade elephant for my collection!... Thanks Susan, I LOVE it!!!!!....
Victor (Kitz's better half) was Dougal's SS.... And I know that Kits had both hands in this.... Three, yes, THREE squeaky toys arrived for the hound!!!!!... One of them has SEVEN squeaks of different tones!!!... Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!....
Thank you both!!!!!... EVEN for the squeakies!!!!!!!....
Love to all...
Darth...
P.S.... Sorry about the delay in your box, KK... I've opened an official complaint with the postal service... As soon as I hear anything, I'll let you know....

Being a real Guy I rarely ever wear suits, even though I have a few. But you wouldn't know it if you had a peek at the rackS of Ties I have. I would hate to compare myself to any Woman, however,,,,,,,,,,,,,, sort of like how many Women collect purses and shoes, I have Ties. So I was Tickled Pink when I uncovered a Nice Silver and Black Tie, with Cuff Links among the prizes that came from Ireland.
I think I'll hold off on the Gummy Poops until Grandson comes over. Sometimes even at his young age he can be braver than I. But the Mints will die an early death.
The book is on the table next to my chair along with my glasses.
The cutest little Santa Candle will remain with the collection of ceramic 'stuff' I have made which line the length of a wall.
The Green pen is already in my shirt pocket.
Since I rarely eat potatoes, but have to admit I do splurge on occasion, I will take this bag of crisps with me this weekend to the Nursing Home and share them with my Wife Patsy, she Loves salt and Vinegar chips.
I remain amazed at how creative these items were gathered.
Deep felt Thank You Carolyn!

You're more than welcome, Charlie!!!!!....
I can attest that the cola flavoured gummy poops are DELICIOUS!!!!!!...
Enjoy the book... Written by my great friend, Judge Michael Pattwell... Don't let the title fool you... He's almost human, really... Allegedly!!!!!... If you like that one, let me know, and I'll send you a copy of his first book....
Glad you liked it!!!!!...
C...
P.S... If there's anything you'd like more of, just let me know, and I'll put it in the post!!!...
P.P.S..... Technically 'Dougal' the dog was your SS...
-
Hi Darth I somehow missed your nut allergy, sorry. But the little jade elephant had nearly remained in England, I'm glad you love it too. So Susan is Cas :angel;
-
Thanks Cass....
Don't worry about the choccies!!!... Lena hoovered them up!!!!!!!....
The ele is a beauty, thank you!!!...

Finally arriving for its signature, wet from a swim int he Pacific, I would guess, the package from Carolyn!
I opened a wet package, which luckily everything was in plastic wrap, so nothing was ruined!
It was great!
Christmas ornaments, socks, crisps to eat, chocolate, hairbands, gummy booheys, a nail set, an eye glass repair kit, facial cleaners, and etc.
Oh heck, a pic is better than my words.
The lighthouses are my collection everything else she sent in her box.
Thanks Carolyn!!!
-
You're more than welcome, Kitz....
Glad it arrived eventually, and somewhat safely!!!!!!....
Enjoy!!!!!...
Darth....

Sorry I haven't been around. Since I'm not in school at the moment, I'm not online as much, except for facebook. *G*
I got a package from Kitkatz, right when she said it would arrive, which as I said before, shocked to stuffing out of me, because of the rotating postal strike that went on through the fall and ended just before Christmas.
Kitkatz sent a little tote bag filled with IHD goodies and a lovely necklace which I adore. The tote bag is also the perfect size for my tablet, so it will definitely get use.
Thank you so much
