Well I know that my Secret Santa either lives or works (or posted from) one of the poshest London post codes - but that could be any one of you Londoners, or perhaps someone else entirely?  Apart from that, no clues?!

I think this might be a very posh gift indeed...

On Santa's behalf, I'm going to make a list. Can everyone who has not received a gift and/or has not been mentioned by Santa as having a gift on the way please let me know!

So far it's:
  • chary  :\\\'(

Now, chary, I have it on really good authority (all the top scientists have been consulted even!) that your gift was posted this very day.  So do not fret.  It will be with you very soon!  ;D

ohh sorry Santa...your post said you would give more clues if needed haha

I think someone has been very naughty!  However, clues - clues - clues...

1) It's behind you!

2) Moving up in the world.

3) The eagle flies at midnight.

 ;D
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!!!

Yippeeee! Thank you, Santa!

But seriously, self-pitying aside, is there anyone who hasn't been told that a present is on its way? We may need to nudge Santa if things aren't in the post yet!

Me. My Santa's been incredibly quiet. I'm patient, though!

Aimlesstraveler , I'm pretty sure the Elves  working the US Post Office have dropped something at your door yesterday for signing.

Santa used his Amazon elves for your present! They claim it should have already reached you - are you sure you haven't had any mystery presents? If not, I'll get the elves to track it down!

Hm...I got the thing I ordered off Amazon, but that's it. I haven't seen any "while you were out" cards (which would make sense, since I haven't been out), but I'll look again.

On behalf of those slacker elves, let me offer my sincere apologies. There seems to have been an error. They guarantee that half of your present will arrive by the 20th. We can't be sure about the other half, however. Still, it does mean you will have something to open on opening day!

Great, thanks! :) I'll keep an eye out.

Mine came today! Thank you, Santa! I'm not opening it until Tuesday, though.  :)

So sorry, Gottagettolondon! Just waiting for confirmation from the elves as to the whereabouts of your present. It's on its way but may not reach you by Tuesday, I'm afraid. Fingers crossed!

ETA: The elves now tell me that your present is coming in two parts and hopefully will reach you in time!

I'm in California for a wedding right now but I hadn't gotten mine either as of Wednesday when I left. Any update? Hopefully it'll be there when I get home on Monday morning! :)
