I suggested they open it for inspection or x-ray it, but, no they need to know what's in it.  It think they must be being picky for Christmas.

Oh I think I check the box marked GIFT, but the post office here also requires that you itemize the contents. I guess your Secret Santa was being very secretive!

A box came today via Fed Ex.  The problem?  I don't know if it is Secret Santa or someone else sending something.    :waiting;    :waiting;

So, since Santa won't be stopping by this year - this box is going under the tree until Christmas morning.  I'll need a nice surprise then.

Update:

35 of 35 packages posted

 :2thumbsup;

29 of 35 packages received (WooHoo)

I *think* all packages should arrive by the Big Day.  My only worry are two which are going a very long way and will probably pass each other at some point over an ocean!  Oooh, exciting! However, I will make sure those recipients are aware and we'll all keep our fingers crossed that the world wide postal system is on the ball and being good for us so we all have goodies to open!

You rock, people!

My Secret Santa package has apparently arrived in Sydney, but customs is not letting it through as it is marked "Gift" and is therefore obviously drugs or something.  My Secret Santa is going to get a call from Customs or the shipper and is going to have to explain himself/herself.  But at least it made it to Australia - now another 900kms to go.

 :rofl;   :rofl;   :rofl;
Well, at least it's in the right country!  Yay!  Do you think it has food in it?! I've seen enough Australian customs shows to know that you guys are REALLY picky about people sending food your way!

im kind of glad mine hasnt arrived yet, id be having trouble wanting to open my gifts lol the pretty packages screaming my name saying OPEN MEEEEEEEEEEE lol at least this way the temptation isnt there!
my tree is stuffed full of things, and they are all from me to someone else, so it looks so pretty all my paper matches, and matches the ornaments and tree topped hahah sooo pretty!!!!

I cant wait until christmas!

I am feeling kind of silly, because I intended to have everything done and sent off before now, and still havent sent off somethings, and now i wont be able to until after xmas due to the ridiculous cost to send them... (and last minute i find out i have to spend a buttload for jareths school thing! which i didnt plan into my budget this month!) guess it will be a nice surprise to get late gifts for some people haha

We have just 4 (I thought I'd join in the formatting fun too!) gifts still to arrive at their destinations!  Come on, Mr Postman; you're running out of delivery days!

Hurray!  Poppylicious you did a wonderful job this year.

6 days to christmas packages being opened.  Tearing off a corner of the package????   Peaking????  No no!
