Secret Santa 2012

[DrT999]

Dang, I'm on the ball this year... Already researched, decided and ordered. Feel kind of sorry for my recipient. Not sure if I'm giving a gift or a burden. :twisted:

I know what you mean (although not everything is delivered yet). Who knew there was anchovy pipe tobacco? :clown:

That just brought back a horrible memory. I was out Christmas shopping with my daughter when she was six or seven. We were walking through the mall and she was chewing on some jelly beans. She stopped me and said, "Dad, I found a coconut one. Aren't they your favorite?" I told her they were and she handed it to me. I was impressed with her remembering and being so thoughtful. Joke was on me, it was anchovy flavored and I literally almost got sick in the middle of the mall. She laughed so hard she almost peed her pants. I couldn't decide if I was mad or proud...

'Bwa-ha-ha!' I mean, 'Ho, Ho Ho!' The Christmas Gator stands (well, lays) guard on the November bombing and Secret Santa boxes until the launch dates. . . . :santa:

My box of Christmas joy ready to ship. I may throw in one or two more items, but this sucker is ready to move off this pallet onto Santa's sleigh! :santa:

 

[jhuggett]

All my orders will have arrived by tomorrow. Just need to get some local stuff to finish it off. I'm excited. :twisted:

Hmmm, as of today I'm still placing orders. :lol:

But I think I've ordered everything now, now just waiting for the last of it to arrive and then box it up. Should be ready by Thanksgiving.

 

[the rev]

you guys are show offs. I am just compiling things, and even now still looking for ideas. I will be sending at the last moment to maximize my accumulations

oh, does it matter if people figure out who was their secret santa after the fact? It seemed in the last year or two that some of them were pretty easy to figure out.

I'm pretty sure mine will be a pretty easy guess.....just sayin'. I figure it's about like the bombing runs...

 

[jhuggett]

Sometimes I don't even hide it. :lol:

One year I received a pipe book with an inscription from the sender. The next year I added one and sent it off to my recipient. So no mystery there. I was kind of hoping that book would make it's way around though. Maybe it still is...

It will not be hard at all. All the Postal ladies in my area insist on a legitimate address for the return. They all know me also. So you may easily figure it out. It may be different for others. But no reason to let anyone else know who your Santa was.

 

[the rev]

yeah that is understood
