No

No. :)

Cars? The group yes, the mode of transport, no.

Kinda. I'm a truck kinda girl.

You could have just asked limey to pose that question to your victim.... She's very prompt and discreet.

I like cars.

You could have just answered my question, it's very direct and easy to answer.

Nobody expects the Secret Santa Inquisition! :eek:

Children, children! No squabbling please!

I will post (mail) on Monday.
Had a fruitless morning in the Minor Injuries Unit - everything is okay officially, it was an ongoing issue which I started to worry about.
But because they were short-staffed I grossly underestimated the amount of time I'd be there, and the last post collection on Saturdays is midday.

I could have rushed and scrambled and at least got it into the Post Office, but I was cross and grumpy, and I want to gifts to be sent in the spirit of Christmas, in case some of my crossness got into the packaging, like some sort of rancid ribbon.

Either way, it wouldn't have left until Monday anyway.

I was about to do some serious squabbling until you said that. Fine. be that way. ::flounces off::

Santa! he licked that cookie before he put it back....

:santa: That's OK, Monster. Reindeer spit is very lucky! :santa:

You don't want to know what he used to stir the eggnog...

:santa: is wondering how his elves are getting on? :santa:

Everything is bought, shipping out Monday.

I just need to clean off the table I use to wrap.... Probably send it out weds next.

Shipped last Monday.

All bought, boxed and awaiting shipment.

no comment. My elf is going today... or so I heard.

Table cleaned, gift wrapped, card written, box packed. I'm off Tuesday morning, will ship.

I fired my elf. Bastard hasn't done shit.

:santa: uh oh!

That damn elf must have sobered up, cuz he begged me for one more chance.
I gave it to him and he has apparently purchased, wrapped and packaged the gift. He said it will be going to the mail/UPS/Fed ex facility tomorrow.

ordered with a promise to be delivered by xmas :D

Shipped out yesterday.

The package has been put in the giant sack - - - -
according to my still barely employed elf.
I'll believe it when it arrives - should be Thursday.

Will definitely ship tomorrow. I had an emergency cheese run to make this morning, so I procrastinated.

priorities

I just shipped the box! /K Mart

I shipped my box, too. It was very convenient.

Giftage has been acquired. Repeat. Giftage has been acquired.

you're supposed to say FIRST!

My elf was delayed by bad traffic. Will reattempt to post the package tomorrow.

I am referring to the giftage for my unsuspecting victim.

I have received my Secret Santa gift!
I deliberately skittered my eyes over the Customs label, trying not to ruin the surprise. I do know who it's from though (DAMN overseas post!)

I won't be taking it down to London with me, so I will be opening before Christmas Day.
But I'll let you know when I do open it.

I've posted mine also.
Airmail of course, and later than I'd hoped. But it should still be there in plenty of time for Christmas, even if it is later than some.

Boy, am I in barrels.

Got mine shipped off to day , also received 1 the other day , When and where do we do the Glorious unboxing and loot inventory ???

Why not keep it all in this thread?

Yes, keep it all here in one thread. Get cracking, those who have received.
Danny boy got a lil something special today from his mother-elf across the pond.
I'll post a few pics if thats OK with everyone. Technically its not a SS gift though.

Go head why not

First!

:santa:

Christmas Cellar style is here!

So, I got my Cellar gift from BigV as you can see...

WooHoo! Chromecast Audio - connects to my phone/Samsung tablet and pipes whatever I'm streaming to my stereo. Works for pretty much everything except (duh) Apple or iTunes which is fine because I don't use either.

Here is the complete spread including an awesome calendar for 2016 which I will hang in my office and lie my ass off and tell everybody I own whatever car is in the pic for that month.

Thanks, BigV - an awesome start to this Christmas.

We just got one of those Chromecast Audio hockey pucks for one of our kids. Nice haul!

Woo! Look what I got today!

Lovely winter scene on the card, much different than the 70 degrees it was outside today. Not that I'm complaining, about the card or the weather. :) And inside... A cherry-red vintage kitchen scale. Super cool!

I'm not 100% certain on the identity of my Santa, though. It came from New Jersey, which I think is the region Beestie (as opposed to Beest in Michigan) last admitted to hailing from. So that's my final answer, Regis, unless of course Beestie refutes my heinous accusation.

Thank you very much, and merry Christmas to all!

I'm from Joisey

Here are two from Daniels special elven friend across the pond.
The first is one of three very cute knitted mushrooms. He couldn't wait to get them onto the tree. The latter is him sharing some INCREDIBLE edibles with his sister. Note the usage of the right hand. If you don't, he will tell you all about it ;).
Thanks so much Sam - you really are a sweetheart. Hugs from America. <3

Oh, and in the background, above the tv is the first SS gift we got from Jim - Two snowmen and a Christmas Cock! They adorn the same spot each year.

I am not currently nor have I ever been from Joisey.

Nice scale, tho - good for measuring coconut flour.

Your kid's a Muslim? :eek:

1. Limey makes the best knitted miniatures.
2. Dan is a sweet kid. You can totally see it.
3. I'm humbled to have my cock in a place of honor and tradition. Truly.
4. You're a good dude. Merry Christmas!

I rather thought that the wood grain wrapping paper would tip you off, too.

I knew that! I mean I did, like two seconds before I came into this thread and had it verified. The memory of you moving finally came to me in the middle of the night (yuk yuk yuk...) In my head you're still in Cherry Hill, and really you're sort of in Pennsylvania. The Philly Dwellars all seem to stick in a particular group in my head, and you've hung out with lots of them in person.

Thank you, Jim. It's really lovely.

Also, those knitted mushrooms are fantastic, limey!

I hope it's something you can actually use. And that the red goes with the decor.

Oh yes, absolutely! You couldn't have known this, but it won't even be the only red/retro item I have in my kitchen. It's already sitting right next to my handcrank apple peeler. :)

Win. That made my day.

:santa: Paging busterb, paging busterb! :santa:

Elves have delivered, repeate elves have delivered! Please investigate your porch!

Yes,
True
Absolutely.
Tx.

There are a few years of SS things here. Dad took possession of last years gift, though. No worries he lives 5 minutes away.

:santa: Paging zippyt, paging zippyt! :santa:

Elves have delivered, repeat elves have delivered! Please investigate and report back!

Got mine, hope to mail out today. Procrastination keeps me busy. New keyboard is driving me bonkers.

Are you kidding me?

The motorcycle helmet thread was a put up job and every dweller in it was involved in order to get the size of my.... Something that must mean head.

Attachment 54503

Limey.

Holy....


This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. And it fits perfectly. And it's comfortable! The beard is soft. It's warm.... I love it.

I'm flabbergasted. Seriously. Floored.
