Secret Santa?
Re: Secret Santa?
message me your name list and I'll tell you who ya got!
Re: Secret Santa?
Ya know, I'd do it again, but it might be the tipping point to my demise. Just seems the less I take on, the smoother my AARP days go. Still in use are my chop sticks from our friend in Japan, my C's blanket, and shelved is a fine McCarthy novel.
Re: Secret Santa?
If memory serves, I think we started off with around $25 -$30 or whatever people were comfortable with spending.
Looks like it's just us since nobody else expressed interest in participating. December 1st is on Thursday so let's get Secret Santa started!!
I'll PM you my address.

Re: Secret Santa?
I'm in too, let's do this
Re: Secret Santa?
Too late unless one more person joins so that there's 4 people.
Judging by the underwhelming response, I am doubtful that a fourth person will emerge by December 1st.

Package sent!
(BTW, the value on the package is overstated. The postal clerk was very busy and just entered an amount without asking)

Re: Secret Santa?
Artemis Claus visited my postbox late this Xmas Eve afternoon!
I received a box full of Keanu Reeves and Canadian goodies:
- Keanu Believe It's Christmas!? card
- Maple syrup Xmas tree ornament (one of my few sweet tooth loves)
- CBC Radio socks (I've listened to some great CBC podcasts, and the sock design is great!)
- Curling coffee mug (My wife has a firm love of curling and will be trying to claim this mug as her own)
- Toronto thermostat fridge magnet (Testing it out in our chilly Tallahassee weather now!)
- Old Spice Swagger stick (I honestly had no clue about the Old Spice - Canada relation!)
Thank you, Artemis! I really hope my package made it to you today too! Happy Holidays, friend!

Re: Secret Santa?
Yay!, glad the package made it to you just in time for Christmas!
There's no Canadian connection with Old Spice. I was thinking of the "What kind of deodorant do you use? "thread.
I haven't received yours yet, probably not until at least Wednesday. If you sent through regular post, no delivery on Mon+Tues.

Re: Secret Santa?
....This is why I don't trust my brother, who told me, "You didn't know Old Spice was originally from Canada?", when I was opening everything. Bastard....
I sent it through USPS Priority and they said it would be there by yesterday. I'm sorry! It should hopefully be there right when postal starts arriving again on Wednesday!

My package was supposed to reach you on Dec 22nd. When I was checking the tracking, I noticed it was in Chicago(USORDA)for about 4 days.

He startled cackling when I mentioned it to him yesterday
Yeah, USPS have been having major delays the last year, and holidays exacerbated it I'm sure.

Re: Secret Santa?
This year I had 3 wards in a secret santa, I was tired of gifts.
Re: Secret Santa?
My package arrived! More pics later, working now.
An amuse-bouche until the unwrapping...

Re: Secret Santa?
After a busy day, I've finally opened my gifts from thoreau. He chose his gifts from local shops he likes to frequent.
Lucky Goat Coffee(I love coffee!)
Lofty Pursuits Mayberry jelly.(Don't think we have Mayberries here, so this is something new to try. The pic on the jar looks like rose hips. Looking forward to trying it!)
Also from Loft Pursuits-homemade hard candy.
An FSU basketball shirt! (Scottie Barnes' school. The shirt fits roomy, which I like! )
Thank you so much for these awesome gifts! And thank you for participating in Secret Santa 2022. I really missed not doing it for the past few years.

Re: Secret Santa?
Glad it FINALLY got to you, Artemis!
I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed the ANR SS festivities too. I'm definitely in for next year!

Re: Secret Santa?
Artemis, I think you may have gifted me my favorite coffee mug I've ever owned.
Re: Secret Santa?
Well I was going to ask if you enjoyed the jelly, but I think I have your answer What did you think of the flavor?
Glad you enjoyed the coffee too. They have some really really great roasts year-round.
