Okay, let's do a little round up. Has anyone NOT received a package or notification that a package has been sent?  :)

Neither can I! And thank you so much, Courtney, for putting it together this year! I'm having a great time sitting back, relaxing and actually not knowing who my Santa is!  ;D

Yay!  The more, the merrier!  It sounds like we have updates on everyone's pressies - yay!  :)

Oh no!  :(  When will you open yours then?  I hope you won't be long in hospital?  I have a hospital appointment on Friday - but only an outpatient exam/thing.

Oh no, hope you're not there long.  Otherwise, someone could bring your gift into hospital to open?
