BTW if you've been bad, maybe Santa is intervening and swapping out your cellar pressie for coal and onions and that's why they're delayed. And if you've been good, maybe Santa will send you a pressie even if you didn't ask for one. He's magic like that.

The shipping and receiving department has screened the delivery of my gifts, with the utmost discretion. I didn't even hear them snickering.

Thank you, Santa!

My gift has arrived.

It was received at my workplace. The shipping and receiving department, as a matter of course, opened the package. Despite the fact that part of the present was visible upon opening the shipping carton, there were no comments made to me. The package was reclosed, but not resealed, and delivered to me.

When I opened the box, I was highly amused and pleased. I am thankful to my Secret Santa.

If you've opened it, you have to share the contents -that was part of the deal.

Here's the thread, now hop to it!

Maybe it was ordered online? Looks like someone thought you needed help. I hope you will take care to use each one in the cellar on the appropriate day.

My recipient's gift should be delivered in the next few days, so says the magic package tracker.

Dammit, I was so excited! I got an unmarked package from Pennsylvania, and I thought for sure it was my secret santa gift! Then I opened it and thought, "How strange, my secret santa gave me things that I also am giving to other people..." Turns out Firebox.com ships out of PA, and this was just another of my many online purchases being delivered. How dare they toy with my emotions like that!

maybe someone is trying to tell me that i've become too nice lately....that i should be more insulting as i go about my days.


is there some point where we find out who the SS was? or are we left in the dark? I've never done this before.

It's supposed to stay secret, as far as I know. But it would be fun to guess...
