I got my gift today!!!!  Doesn't rattle of anything when I shake it!!  Thanks secret santa.

I couldn't put a tracking # on the gift hubby sent because it went in an envelope not as a package. It had a long way to go though so hopefully it will make it there!!!

If you have sent your package and it has not arrived please check with the post office s tow here it is.  Put a tracking number on it at the post office if you can.  That way it can be tracked all the way to the recipient.

The following people have not received gifts. Please make sure they are sent.  I am beginning to worry!
You won't be worrying half as much as I am *sad face* ...

Due to the nature of the address I was sending my SS parcel to, I wouldn't have been able to ask for tracking and/or confirmation of delivery.  I send copious amounts of parcels to foreign lands every year (all through the year) and have never had something not arrive, so I'm very sad/annoyed right now.  Unfortunately my hands are tied and I can't do anything about it for at least a month.  I just hope that if my parcel has fallen into the wrong hands that the wrong hands enjoy their naughtily gained presents muchly.  Tsk.

*gasp* ... I can't do that!  But now I'm super excited about only having ten more days left till I can open it *grin*.  Tomorrow I'm putting my decs up and I will move the package from my office floor (if I can find it; it's buried beneath all my bathroom stuff because my new bathroom still isn't finished!) to a pride of place position under the tree. Yay!

(Still not happy, but realise that I can't do anything about it right now so I'll have to stay positive and just hope that good news will come eventually!)

 In Our House, not One Gift, goes, under the Tree, until, Everyone is, Home and in Bed, on Christmas Eve. A Santa Thing. This was a real Pain, in the You Know What, when My Kids were Older and would go out on Christmas Eve, with Their College Friends. Sounds, Silly, I know, just the way, We have always done it.

Also, No Gifts, were ever seen. I would keep them in a Closet, in the Basement, with a Padlock on it. One time, I shut the Door, Locked, the Lock and Realized, I had left the Key in the Closet. I told My Husband, He had to go Downstairs and take the Closet Door off. He was not Amused.

If I had my tree up I would put presents under it now.  I'm hoping to get in tomorrow and presents will magically appear.   :santahat;

Only presents under tree right now is what my dad got from his office (still unopened). Mine have been sitting in my room an are in the way. I havent put any bos on them so the cats won't chew on them. I know as a kid presents didn't go under the tree till we went to sleep Christmas Eve, but can't remember how we were doing it lately.
