I know that my person got theirs, I am still waiting...maybe it will come right before surgery and that can be my excuse to open it early?

I will mail mine to "THE MID-WEST, USA" tomorrow.  Just got done wrapping every single little item (well except two).  I had to wait until I got my Christmas Cards which has a picture of me and my 2 Min Pins.  They are the only ones on IHD getting the covited Christmas Card.

I hope they think it is a fun package because I can't mail Ice Cream!   :oops;

How do you get around putting your return address?  They may know it is me because I put Sacramento.  :(


So FUN!!!     :clap;   :popcorn;   :santahat; :wine;

Thank God I'm not the only one who hasn't mailed yet!!!    :shy;     I'll be mailing mine first thing Friday.  I had a rough week.   It's all ready to go, but by the time I was able to go to the post office today the inside was closed and I need them to determine my postage.

I think I got mine today since I'm not expecting anything else. I just can't read the return address due to light colored pen ink (red).

Neither have I received mine, Nurse, and neither has Mum.... So there are at least three of us!...

Lots of time, though... And look on the bright side, the longer the gift is looking at you, the longer you have to restrain yourself from opening it!....

Love...

Hubby and I haven't received anything yet either but it's a long time before Christmas yet!!!  Both of ours were sent a couple of weeks ago so watch the mail!! :santahat;  Who ever gets a gift from Newfoundland DO NOT OPEN THE PACKAGE!!  It is NOT wrapped inside!!!  I had to repackage and get rid of some weight and size. Was going to cost $38 Canadian to mail for one of the packages!!!
