I've just been singing along with "Mr Postman'! Love the Carpenters.
No SS package for me yet BUT I had so much fun choosing and posting mine that even if I miss out, I've really enjoyed it - and this thread.
Christmas is almost here - yay!

Well, 1 week to receive.  Rerun tells me my SS is MIA. It makes me worried about them.  There is still hope. Not having a spouse and no family in the area I don't get presents.  One of the reasons I do IHD SS so I have a present to open on Christmas day even though I really can't afford it.  I will buy my usual socks and lottery ticket so I have something in my stocking.  I know presents are not what we should be concentrating on at this time of the year.  I know that I have the best present I could ask for: I will be with my kids on Christmas morning and they are happy and healthy.  I was able to scrape together a couple of presents for them that I know they will enjoy.  Mostly I am thankful for the fact that I am here for another Christmas.

Ok    I did the research.......   I find only three people who are out of the state I_____   and one had sent their present overseas...... and  YGuy person is MIA.....( there is only one of the people who haven't posted much lately....)    So  I think I know who my person is  and   I think I know who YGuy person is.......      The wait is terrible..... I hate waiting.......  but  thru all this dialysis stuff and waiting so long to get on to home nocturnal  well..... I have learned that as I am getting older  I guess I do have a little more patience than I thought......  Ok   I will admit it   I have mellowed out...... not sure about the patience.....   I have been working on that all my life.......  Still like to figure things out......Thx Rerun.........LOL
