What a great year--big ups to everyone who took part, and especially Carlos for running this goat rodeo! Murray crimmus to all, and to all a good night!

Wow, 2014, the year of the Super Secret Santas! What an amazing set of gifts!

Great first year for me I am already excited for next year.

However, we still have a few packages to be posted, don't we?

 

[Old Nate]

I think we do... But this was a lot of fun! So glad I did it, my first year on BoB.

Thank you and Merry Christmas to all, particularly Carlos. It's time to return to hibernation.

Thanks to Carlos for setting this up. What an outstanding job by the Secret Santas!

Merry Christmas, everyone. :santa:

I am still hoping for a couple pics from those working two jobs and running all over the countryside. If you get a chance give us a post. Then we can log this years Secret Santa in the historical archive. (Wherever that is. But it sounded good.)

HO ho ho ! :santa:

Way to Santa! I think Santa is probably checking with his elves. Might still be a package that's on the way.

I don't know about y'all, but we still have numerous personal packages that have not arrived yet. Not pipe related. Makes me think there is a backup in a Postal hub someplace. So don't be surprised if something shows on a doorstep related to some of y'all's Secret Santa. And check those old flowers alongside the porch. Might be something there. Ho ho ho! :santa:

 

[Kyle Weiss]

It's not just you, Carlos. I have eBay pipes I shipped out nearly a week ago and some of it is still in USPS limbo-purgatory.

Well, I am going to call this years Secret Santa done. Not all pictures got posted for everyone. But that's not unusual. We had a number of players that were very busy with work and travel. Not to mention the crush that the holidays bring.

We had no complaints or major troubles. A lot of multiple packages from multiple sources that added layers of confusion. A good time was had by all. And the generosity, considering what the actual minimums are, is truly stellar.

Thank y'all! :sunny:

 

[Kyle Weiss]

Thanks to Carlos, my Santa...hell, all the Santas. I enjoyed how pipe-heavy this year was, though it nodded to the ghost of X-Mas Past with a gator, new briars (and a meer!) were what kept elves busy this year. Generous as usual. Good show, all. This is the only thing during December I look forward to. :santa:
