I received my package a few weeks back but didn't know this thread was here.  So thank you secret santa. 

I promise I won't open it until Chirstmas day (as stated on the package)!!  I didn't realize people waited to Christmas day to open them but I was saving mine anyway because its probably the only present I'll get.  I was bad this year!!!!!

   Oh  Dear  Secret Santa...what have you done....

        I received another package from secret santa.......Sara (my daughter )  works at the UPS store where we have our mail sent and she brought it home all excited again......   The package said....

     GO AHEAD....AND OPEN THIS ONE......

     So I asked Sara....should I open this one.... should I......  she looked at me with serious big brown eyes and then she looked at the package and then back at me  and  with a long long pause...she said...  OPEN IT......  yes  open it.....it says to open.......... quickly.......      so we both opened the package   and    we found boxes of chocolate...Each piece is decorated with different patterns and they are beautiful.....   We both looked at each other  and then the chocolate......( I already had my eye on the piece that I wanted )  and we both grabbed one.....  we just sat there and looked at each other and chewed and chewed......   I know we both felt like kids again......    Sara suggested that we both have one each day until Christmas......   

Thank you secret santa......  for a gift that we could open early.....    I still have the other gift that I am saving to open on Christmas.......    I got to open early.....ha ha ha........... :cheer:     ha ha ha....... :cheer:

I turned hubby's gift over and now I know from the return address who it is from.  Thanks!!! He will not even open the envelope until Christmas morning. Now I have to get my tree up so I can put the gifts under it!!  Have to bring the tree in from the shed tonight. Forecast is 20 - 40 cm of snow tonight and tomorrow!!!

Kellyt, you really made me laugh with the puppy comment!  And Dan made me laugh too.  Even though I've never even seen a picture of Dan, I could just see him sitting there saying I want a puppy!  I love his sense of humor!

Well, how are we doing with the old Secret Santa List???....

Has anyone else received their gifts???.... It would help the Grammalady a lot if she knew what the current situation is!...

Oooops, almost forgot to say... Neither Mum's nor my gifts have arrived... Not worried though... Still a few days to go!...

Love to all....

I got mine a while ago. Thanks Santa. I had trouble trying to ship mine. The one place I went had it almost ready to go then informed me they didn't do international. So mine was mailed by the post office. It hopefully will get there this week or between Christmas and New Years. To the person that gets my gift, I love you and sorry for the delay.

Tyefly,

I feel your pain!!!...

I posted both of our gifts to the US... When I was tracking them on the post office's website, one of them came up as 'Return To Sender'... I was wondering what the heck I'd done wrong... Had I put something illicit into it???... I was waiting for the gift to be returned to me, when it showed as 'Delivered To Addressee'... While I'm glad it got there safely, I STILL don't know what happened!...

Postal service, eh???.....

Thanks grammalady for putting all this time and effort into making this so much fun!  I was getting worried about the package I shipped, but know it has arrived   :2thumbsup;     

If you can't get your package out, tell grammalady today or tomorrow and maybe someone else can send a replacement gift.  I could (I think) put one in the mail Monday.
