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. 

The gift is coming from far away.

It's Lucinda's new Hummer. RRRROOMMM!

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;

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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;
