Got my secret Santa gift!  Actually my daughter found it ont he back porch...must have been delivered yesterday.

This is how the conversation went...

HER: "Mom...I found a package...who do you know from...?"

ME: "Stop stop stop......I don't want to know where....its a secret Santa gift.  Put it with the presents."

HER: "Mom, you're weird."

I haven't touched it or looked at it.....the excitement builds!!

I used the Tracking Label on both Mum's gift, and mine... Worked well with mine... Gave me a dreadful scare with Mum's... Thankfully the gift arrived safely, but I'm STILL getting wrong information on the Post Office's website!...

So even if you DO track it, the information may be wrong... That's why it's SO important that when we receive a gift that we post it here!...

Oh well, there are still a few days to go... We can hope... And even if they don't arrive on time, it's not the end of the world... They'll turn up eventually!...

Mine was sent (and received by the intended recipient) and I've also received mine from my secret santa.

So sorry grammalady that I did not post here...I thought I had posted but clearly I'm either aging fast or daydreaming too much.

Did you know that when a dog or cat leaves a dead bird or mouse at your door step that it is a symbole of love.  They are giving you something they deem valuable.   I just made that up but it seems reasonable to me.
