I'm glad you like them. They are a favorite around here. Usually my wife makes them, but I made the batch I sent to you. I find them a bit addicting.

I got some smoked salmon from the Alaska Smokehouse, and a jar of pickled herring. I love salmon. I don't know I will be brave enough to try the herring, but I am taking it to the 'rents this weekend because I have a feeling my dad and brothers will love it.

The best part was the salmon came in a beautiful decorated wood box...something that fits right in with my stuff. I so wish I had a pic now but you will see it tomorrow. I kept looking at it last night.

I was so excited and thrilled.

Now, let's see...from the great state of Washington...gotta be BigV, no?

THANKS SO MUCH SANTA. YOU MADE MY WEEK! :)

You're half right about your SS. I signed up for the thread and shipped it but Tink picked it out. I helped on the pickled herring I confess. I hope it all arrived ok, the guys in the shipping department send cold packs all the time and assured me this would be ok. The salmon I'm not worried about, actually, I'm not worried about the herring either. I just hope you enjoy them. You're very welcome!

From here.

Hey Jimbob, do you think jinxs address is more important than mine?? :p

Sorry folks, working on the pics.

BigV and Tink: thanks again! I'm taking it all over to my brother's house for Christmas.

It's the thought that counts. :) Right? No? Alright. Fu** it.

I got mine today! yea! It was beautifully wrapped with santa paper - which I removed before taking a pic - oops ... I opened it and out came the following. Exactly what I need and want - I love decorating the tree and the two ornaments will be proudly displayed on the tree tomorrow. The larger one is already out in the family room.
Thank you, thank you, not so, secret santa :)

(sorry for the pic quality - I only have my phone to use)

I received my gift today and thank you so much - whoever has me (I have no clue) must have picked up from a thread that I like Phil Hartman and that I like Dave Foley (and the Kids in the Hall) because they sent me season 1 and 2 of News Radio - one of my favorite shows.

Whoever you are - Thank you Thank you!!!

Cicero

Dave Foley? He's awesome!! I would like that too. He's my fave, though not active lately.

My secret Santa package arrived and I will post pics later today. The box came yesterday but I have been swamped with computer issues and battling a case of "Martian Death Flu." As fans of Dave Barry will recall the main symptom of MDF is that you wish your electric blanket had another setting past "HIGH" which is "ELECTROCUTE."

Thanks santa, They were really sweet and made it seem like you actually read the tripe I post. Either that or Jinx bought them ;)

heyfuckyou!

all me! a hunnit pecent!

the tractor was a guess, but i see you diggin it.

and the footfootfoot on the carpenter was hand painted in my very bed!

footfootfoot

12-17-2008 10:16 PM

No, I really like them. The inch was all, "let me see that tractor" and I was all, "Step off, it's MINE."

I liked the little foot stamp too. That was cool.

I'm wondering how to explain the concept of an internet handle to my wife when she reads the footfootfoot on the carpenter.

Mine hasn't gotten to the recipient either, but I only sent it about 2weeks ago.

Completely unexpected contents, and really lovely.

I just got my healthcare package in the mail from September, after talking to the ex. This does not look good. :(

Cic---that isn't a gift, is it lovey? Unless your ex is gifting you with the gift of...healthcare? Is this COBRA? Coz if it's COBRA, it's prolly a gift. That shit is expensive.

skysidhe

12-20-2008 06:10 PM

I was wondering about this too.

If you don't have a need for a cobra type healthcare package like surgery then sometimes purchasing other insurance is less expensive?

Although this is just an assumption or course...come back and tell us what it is?

monster

12-20-2008 09:03 PM

I think she means her SS package is destined for her old address, where her ex lives, and he's not registering on the awesome scale when it comes to forwarding stuff.

wolf	12-20-2008 09:05 PM

Still waiting. Considering checking the mailroom of the other building, just in case.

No she knows but she is such a luddite that she still needs 'splainin' that the cellar isn't a chat room. well, most of the time.

It would be too confusing to bring up the existence of cellar chat, so we'll skip that for now.

She thought it was nice that we did a secret santa thing and now she wants to find her own internet community, but is reticent to join this one, despite how many of you she'd hit it off with, I'm sure.

Okay, all the way from Texas, although my Santa may have gone South of the border to purchase it.

Firstly, the undamaged box, which nevertheless terrified me by having a FRAGILE sticker on it.
But as you can see in the second photo it was securely packed and protected and so arrived in great condition.

The wrapped present (although I rummaged in the packing for a while, just in case). Inside the wrapping was a box. I took a picture of the box and of the box open with the gifts inside, but I think the next logical step would be to simply show the prizes.

The first part of the gift - 5 (count them! 5!) doilies. Different sizes, shapes and colours and they look and feel very high quality. My Mum is eyeing them up already.

And even more unexpectedly - a gourd. According to the customs information, it is an antique Mexican gourd. It's very delicate and painted beautifully in pastal colours.

The top is obviously hand-cut so it only fits if you put it on in exactly the right spot. It's so unusual and eye-catching.

I know my SS must have gone to a lot of time and trouble to buy and send my present. I think I know who it is, but I'll wait and see if she wants to reveal herself. Can I just say a huge thank you for the effort you went to - I am overwhelmed by your generosity and the care you took sending it!

Trilby

12-21-2008 01:29 PM

Cool! I LOVE gourds! Great prizes, SG!

12-21-2008 01:56 PM

I got mine! I guess I checked the mail too early, yesterday, so today, it was in there. It's really neat and I can't wait to show you all what it is! And I still don't know who it is from. :) Pictures to follow soon.
