Lovely photos Chris and so glad you posted them, you see I was imagining real peanuts clinging to your cat - you know the roasted salted variety - in the UK we don't call that polystyrene stuff peanuts, we just call it packing (or a damn nuisance when you have to clear it all up!!)  I think I quite liked the image I had.  :) And of course I did wonder why everyone was putting nuts in with their presents  :rofl;

I got a package from Australia today!!    :clap;   I am so excited!  AlohaBeth saw it first and took off the customs label so I couldn't read what was inside.  I don't know who it is from but to have a package come from so far with my name on it -- well it is like a kid at Christmas  :rofl;   The past week has been pretty rough around here, but today has been a very good day.  My lovely box is sitting under the tree, right in front where all can see it.   If I could put a spotlight on it, I would!!    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Secret Santa.  I am not even tempted to open it.  It is enough to just look at it.  Oh the possibilities!  It will be the last thing I open Christmas Day.    :cuddle;

I will be getting from Australia, too!! :yahoo;  However, there was a problem with the address, so it means i will probably not get it until January.  But that is not a problem - my birthday is in January!!!
And Karol sent me a box (not to be opened until Christmas) so I am considering that as my Secret Santa gift along with all the dreadful waiting - I am an instant gratification person, never good at waiting, right Twirl!

 :christmastree; THANK YOU RERUN! :christmastree;

:yahoo; I just finished opening the nicest box of presents from Rerun.  It was full of delectable Washington-made treats and some fun things, too, including a dreamcatcher (she did a great detective job!).  She tucked in a few things for Stephen. :cuddle;  He has almost finished his peppernuts!

I will post a picture later. 

Best of all is the photo of Rerun and her niece, which is going on my frig.  :guitar:

Thank you MIMI
This was such a wonderful secret...I had no clue it was you.
Beautiful soft fluffy pink socks, pink sharpie, love them, new angel for my collection (don't have this style yet), and a WoodWick Candle, I will think of you everytime I use it.  My kids had come over for a bit so we all opened this together.
Have a great day everyone.
