Not meeee. I got the slow reindeer sled.  ;D
I'm a slow reindeer and also haven't received mine yet, but the recipient will have it by the deadline! (husband has been a good elf for me while pain has taken over the last few days)

Mine is here!!!!!! 

I forgot that things take 3 times as long to get to Scottish Highlands (you know, because we're not on the mainland, even though we are, but that's what companies think....  ::)

Whooot!  J was like 'open it' and I was like 'I can't!! Not yet!'  So it's safely under my green lava lamp, because I don't have a tree yet.   
I've never gotten food on my underpants!

hahaha good thinking! we don't have anything to put it on so it's just on the dining room dresser. No point in us putting a tree up this year as we're not home for Christmas.

Am I allowed to open it Friday night instead of Saturday as I'm at Christmas parties that weekend?? Is that cheating too much?
My, how time flies....

I’ve got something to pick up from the post office too big for our post box so might be my gift. How exciting can’t wait !!

I have a slight dilemma with mine... two packages have arrived, but I’m not sure which one is my secret Santa gift and which one is from someone else :P.

No clues in the return address? (Or no return address?)

No return address on one of them, but it’s okay, I’ve figured it out now :).

Aquila, you never answered Rick's question.... are you just coordinating and didn't put yourself on the list?   ;)

Sooo... I got a package early last week and I’m thinking this must be from my Secret Santa though I wasn’t informed by the elves that it was coming.

I'm in touch with the elves to confirm if this was a super stealth job - though, it sounds like it was.  ;)

If it is your Secret Santa gift, then by my records, everyone is accounted for.  Either a present has already arrived for everyone, or has been posted and is currently on the way.
