Wait, did you say that a week ago?

Shit I might've. But I really went to the post office this morning and mailed it.

I blame college. They took up my present buying time with 4 classes a week. That's my story.

Dude.

I don't want to jump on a bandwagon of getting on your case, but I don't think it's really funny or cute to make jokes about it. I understand that life (work, school, parenthood) gets in the way and Org Secret Santa isn't at the very top of your priority list - that's cool. But you did sign up and agree to send a Christmas gift. I'm sure your recipient bought and sent their gift on time, in the hopes that they too would receive a present to open during the fun of Christmastime.

I'm not getting all righteous, because I've committed plenty of screwups comparable to this one, and worse. I'd just suggest a little more humility about it, and fewer jokes - at least until your gift has arrived.

Erin, you do to much.

You made my over-stressful, under-appreciated holiday enjoyable; you really did.

You nailed EVERYTHING perfectly; I don't know how you did it -- but you did!

Thank you again!

And just for you, babe.

I wore 'em... then I ate 'em.

that makes two of us...

go acrylic! go acrylic!

Shorty was my SS, and despite the horrendous box, everything she gifted me was FANTASTIC!

Some vintage 50's/60's glasses, with naked women on them! (one didn't survive the trip to FL, , but it wasn't the brunette, so it's all good!)

loads of treats from New Hampshire! For the record, two of the three maple hard candy's were consumed immediately, along with half of the maple sugar candy's.

also, I kept taking nips of the maple syrup every time I passed it. By the time Christmas morning came, I think I only had half of it left for the waffles and pancakes.

Thank you so much, Angel....I loved everything! Merry Christmas!!

I know. Not that it excuses it, but I've tried to at least check in to let them know they weren't forgotten. Not that any one person could figure I was talking to them for sure.

On a side note, all of the gifts have been sent out at this point. My apologies to the person receiving them. One for it being late, and two because I really wish I could've come up with better things to send.

Great googley moogley! I knew there must be a reason why I decided to look at this thread for the first time today. ....glad I started on the last page.

2 new spoons to add to my collection

these awesomely covered chocolates got an exclamation of surprise

and admiration from myself as well as the rugrat!!!

an awesome Van Gogh magnet

My favourite Doctor Who episode this year, and probably fav of all time , was Vincent and the Doctor....it introduced my son to the works of Van Gogh, and made me appreciate, what a talented man he was.

I am truly thankful, for these wonderful, well thought out gifts

You just made my day!

I love Van Gogh too, and I was a little worried that you would not care too much about his paintings. However, I thaught it was a save bet, because then you still would have had nice choclates and a handy magnet

You only live on the other side of the world, so if you ever feel like enyoing some Van Gogh; hop on a plane, you can stay at my place and I know the museums where they have the greatest Van Gogh's!

It was so much fun choosing the spoons. I really was not aware of this whole spoon-shops-circuit in the city

It's great that you love the gifts and I'm sooo happy they finally arrived.

Now that all the presents are arriving and being opened all I can do is...

Wish i'd heard back from my SS hope they got it ok.

Orgers are far too kind.

My Secret Santa was Lisa10, and she really hit it out of the park! Besides the cool apron

(which looks like this:)

she also sent me a fabulous cookbook full of drool-worthy sweet recipes, some super cool adjustable measuring spoons, and lovely Benefit makeup!

THANK YOU EmeralSkiesfor my wonderful gift. You got me everything that I asked for and I am thoroughly enjoying everything as we speak. You totally rock!!!!

Here are my gifts from the gorgeous eleven! 3 notebooks and a gorg set of necklace and earrings.

Thanks Sweets . Keep in touch!

My gift arrived today!! It smells heavenly!! Coffee was sent to earth directly from God!!!

I didn't see who was my person. Just the name and that the package was from MD. Silver Springs? I think? I had to remove it real quick before my other half took a look and would ask "Who is this dude sending you coffee?" He'd be like "yeah right" if I explained it was an Org thing. So in an effort to avoid his trash talking I tore it off really quick!

But seriously, thank you!!! With me I think you could buy me a tub of Foldgers and I would be your bestie! Premium Foldgers, though!

Thanks again!!!
