I haven't seen my gift recipient post that theirs arrived.  It was suppose to take 3-5 days, weeks ago.   Hoping it arrived safely.   I need to dig out the shipping receipt and see if I can track it.      Mine is sitting lovely under my tree.  I did give it a tiny shake - it didn't help me one bit!   My husband and I are giving each other one small gift so we are able to help our daughter and her 2 kids during a really rough time.  So, my Secret Santa present will be so much fun to open.  Just the box reminds me what incredible friends I have here.  You all lift my spirits and make my heart happy.     :cuddle;

i know how u feel paris, my recipient has not said if they got theirs either... it worries me! especially since my dear sweet father was the person who went to the post office to send it for me so it would be on time! I didn't even know he had done it! I went to add something else to the package and it was gone lol Super sweet of him to do that for me.
I do believe the mail just be running slow this year or something, because I ordered a few things off the internet and I still havent received those either, and that was at least 2 weeks ago. Hopefully, everything gets everywhere that it needs to be on time!

Got my present.  Thank you so much! I could not post because we lost electricity with the high winds and when it came back on while I was at dialysis it blew the power supply in my computer.  I used a netbook and ordered a new one from Amazon for $20.  I got it today and installed it and am back up.

I have received mine and my present has been received . I would like to thank our Moderators who have set this up.
Many may not received anything but this gift and it is heartwarming to know how many people have  joined the SS this year.
Thank you again for organizing this.

Bajanne and Lilbajanne have both sent and have both received, though not in their hands as yet.  Our gifts are still in St Thomas until we pick them up, but we have been informed that they are there!  We have sent ours and are looking forward to our recipients saying they have received them.
