2008 CSS Gifts and Guesses - Page 11

Are we all done (aside from Limey

)?
I think it was a wonderful haul this year and the eatables/ potables/ local gifts theme worked pretty well. Personally, I'd like a more definite theme this year. But them I live in an Islamo-fascist state (

) and therefore respond well to authority.

Actually, it is a pretty British trait. Give us draconian rules so we have something to thumb our noses at! Like I did when I ignored the "budget includes postage" I suppose...

And I'm really glad there were no dropouts this year. Good choice of people and here's to more becoming regulars in 2009, and some of those who were already regulars joining in.

Oh and of course, thanks to LR, who did sterling work in 2008, as Monster did in 2007.

Unless I missed it, richlevy*, Treasunauk, DanaC, Cicero*, SteveDallas, Limey, Ducksnuts and myself** have not recieved their gifts yet.

*I have heard from their senders and know what is going on.
**as of 12/31 anyway when I stopped in to work to check on the lab.

Correct me if I'm wrong. --just the gifts, not my grammar.

Dani got hers.

SteveDallas got his.

It was one of the first in the thread.

Pic 1 - The package which contained ...
Pic 2 - a Buckeye necklace and a tartan-wrapped parcel which contained ...
Pic 3 - ... Buckeye sweeties!
The package contained a letter explaining the significance of Buckeyes in a number of ways and I have now decorated my log cabin with the string of Buckeyes (all I need now is a raccoon skin, apparently!).
Thanks Bri! The sweeties are none the worse for having been in the shed since at least 29th December

and are indeed deelish!
Many thanks!

Trilby · 01-03-2009, 02:49 PM

YAY! Glad you got it!

richlevy · 01-03-2009, 06:03 PM

I had a false alarm yesterday. A package was on my doorstep, but it turned out to be the rechargeable batteries I ordered a week ago.

Shawnee123 · 01-05-2009, 07:45 AM

I sent mine on Monday the 22nd. I knew it would take some time, but had hoped it would be there by now.

I forgot to include the rest of the stuff I got from Merc that I opened on Christmas. A book, Pecked to Death by Ducks, by Tim Cahill. It's a collection of short travel stories he's written for various travel magazines. I've only read the first couple stories, but it looks like it's going to be a good one. Merc also gave me a cute ornament of Santa on vacation, and a blank diary/journal.

Thanks Merc! You're an awesome Secret Santa!

My pleasure glattster. I hope I made a difference for a day. I am really a good guy if you get to know me. Cheers.

btw, all the Tim Cahill books are hoot. I love his style. They will take you to places you never thought you could go. When you finish that one, hop on another. Great vacation/camping reads. Best wishes to you and your family.

LabRat · 01-05-2009, 08:00 AM

So, just Ducks, Rich, Cic and myself haven't recieved yet. I just missed noting the others.

Both Ducks and Cic's are coming from overseas, and will take some time. Rich's sender said that his will be late via the anon account, and I don't know anything about mine.

DucksNuts · 01-05-2009, 05:56 PM

Duck's has arrived!! YAY, its awesome.

Thanks SS, I know who you are

I have taken pics......the awesomest Bat Cat Calender which has had everyone here in stitches, a cool Buckeyes Hat (I took a pic modeling it) and some Buckeye chocolates that I am now addicted too.

Can I order them online somewhere?

Thanks sooo much.

Much love SS (pics to come tonite)

Shawnee123 · 01-06-2009, 07:35 AM

Yay!

I thought it was funny Bri also sent Ohio State stuff. I saw that she sent a buckeye necklace that I thought about sending you...but I didn't think it would make customs as buckeyes could be planted to make buckeye trees.

I don't know if the shop I got the candies at would ship; they're local, but I am sure you can find them from a number of places.

I'm sooooo glad you got it and like it. Sorry it took so long.

PS I knew you would look cute in the hat.

Last week we had a nasty snowstorm Tuesday night, followed by record breaking cold for several days. School was closed for three days!! On no school days, I stay home with my daughter. Unfortunately, I did not bring my laptop home from work Tuesday, so I wasn't able to immediately say thank you for the Secret Santa Surprise I recieved Thursday.

I know this wasn't from my actual SS, becasue I gave them my work address. So whomever is responsible, thank you!! This was a great surprise!

So, without further ado...
