No, not yet.  Should I have it by now?  I haven't been worrying about it, as there's still plenty of time until Xmas, and the later it comes, the less time I have to be tortured like the rest of you guys about whether or not I can open it yet!  :santahat; :snowman; :christmastree; :rudolph; :popcorn;

Now wait a minute, I was keeping my Secret Santa secret!  Holding the information near and dear to my heart... Relishing every moment that I knew and the rest did not... Struggling to keep it inside...  oh well, MY SECRET SANTA IS RERUN  :yahoo;

I have not peeked at my present... I will not peek at my present... Okay, I admit that I did peek... It was just a tiny peek... The lid of the box lifts up and with a flashlight I could get a look  :rofl;  just a little peak, really... most everything is wrapped...   :secret; When I was a kid I was good at slitting tape and peeking.  Oh no, I can't believe I admitted that to that.  Do not tell my mother!

Dr. Phil  I know I have a problem, my problem is that wrapping paper sends me over the edge...

One day I was minding my own business and went to the mail like any other day...

And there it was, a package all the way from Australia, I was shocked, all the way around the world...

Day One- Did not touch it put it away, decided that for ONCE I would not peek!

Day Two- I was having a crappy day, decided to open outter package and see what Aussie wrapping paper looks like...

Day Three- After counting and recounting Decided that it would be alright to open the gifts from Italy because it didn't really count because my SS is from Australia!   
It;s a beautiful watch, I LOVE it and have worn it out a few times already, I will Cherish it always!

DAY Four- Was feeling bad about opening the watch and and had a gift opening frenzie...   I have stationary with "K" on it!!  I love it all  I love writing and its perfect...  I also have two beautiful dish towels from Italy  BEAUTIFUL Lucinda I love everything  you were perfect!!

Yay! :yahoo; My package arrived today!! :2thumbsup;

 ??? ??? Much too small for a Hummer, though.??? ???   I bet, because of the delay in Customs, they sent the keys and owners manual ahead of the actual vehicle.  Yeah, that must be it . . . .   :rofl;  Come to think of it, it's about the right size for a gerbil or two, but since it's from Australia (not Wisconsin), I'm hoping I'm safe!!  :bow;  (Haven't heard any scratching sounds yet . . . )

Well....I haven't opened mine yet.  It is going under my tree and staying there until Christmas.  I haven't even opened the outer box incase it is not wrapped.  I do know mine is from Martha (xtrememoosetrax.)  Glad you liked yours Kim.  You are worse than Twirl, no patience.  xx

Next year, no packages to Twirl until the 23rd of December!

My box is still sitting unopened on my office chair. Periodically I dust it off and shake it gently. The gerils squeak in fear when I shake it gently.  The noise from the wheel is keeping me up at night!  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
