SECRET SANTA 2011

[Puff Daddy]

this means my person will probably not get my original gift [\quote]

I'd wait, mail it when it comes, and if it looks like it might not make it before Christmas have Carlos contact your recipient and notify the guy that his package may be a little late. Better yousend what you wanted to send and not stress about it, and I think most guys would be very understanding.

The retailer just emailed me and took 50% off my charges. I'll let you know if they actually refund half my money or if it was just said to make me feel better about my bad experience. Nonetheless, I'm feeling better already. Thanks guys... for helping me realize that it's just an order. There's more to the holidays than worrying about ordering stuff, money, and mistakes. I'll be getting my box together this week and can't wait to send it out. Feeling more merry by the minute! :rendeer: :santa:

See....Just relax, its out of your hands right now :rendeer:

Im all packed up and will be shipping my package out tomorrow...Here comes Santa Claus...Here comes Santa Claus...right down Santa Claus lane!!! :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :santa:

PD is right. We still have time. Don't Panic! Only one package has a bit of a shorter deadline. Even then, we have some fudge factor built in. As long as the US Postal Service does not come to a complete halt.

I'm holding steady. The frustration is behind me... only fun from here on out. I can't wait until that shrunken head is ready. What? C'mon... someone has to top the gator head. That was awesome!
:santa:

 

[Puff Daddy]

I don't think the gator head can be topped. you can go in a competely different direction but you can't top it. Like the fuzzy slippers in the box pass, a true classic :lol:

Wow that's a really nice Santa package, I love the Hurricane lamp as well....I want one of those :lol!:

Maybe your Santa hasn't sent yet! :rendeer: You can never guess what you're going to get, but it will likely be interesting!

Glad you're getting SOME satisfaction; but what's important is that you still are trying to have some fun with this!

Well, That was one of a set of two. My grandfather packed the other one with marbles so it, "wouldn't explode." I just never had the heart to empty it and I guess it's filled with a king's ransom as the marbles are ancient. Careful what you wish for though... I considered setting all the lamps on the counter or somewhere and taking a picture, but decided that there were simply too many. What hurts is when I have to fill five or six of them at once, particularly since I converted everything over to the paraffin oil, which makes a very good wood polish too.

Those that are having issues with the etailers, it will all be ok. You have done everything right, and likely there's not a one of us here that hasn't found ourselves in the hurry up and wait position at some time or another. Shrinking heads takes time, relax and have a bowl.

True. Still, when I'm in NO later this month, I'll see if I can't find some canned 'gater tail to send out next year

A generous haul, no doubt about it. What's the tobacco with the red label behind the Bob's Chocolate Flake? I don't know that one.
