lyonaria, the reindeer are on the way with a present for you.  :)

Yay! That's always lovely to hear.
The usual. American girl meets British guy. They fall into like, then into love. Then there was the big decision. The American traveled across the pond to join the Brit. And life was never the same again.

Yes, I'm just the North Pole representative this year.  ;)

Well you are the best elf I've ever seen!  Very kind of you to coordinate all of this!

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.

I didn’t want to open up the package and spoil the surprise... but I wasn’t expecting anything from anyone else so I assumed it’s from Santa! Looking forward to opening it!!!

I think mine arrived, but I haven't opened it yet (I wasnt sure if it was wrapped inside the packaging) :) Realised I should comment so my SS knows it is here.

Mine arrived today! It's currently on my mantelpiece as dogs aren't to be trusted with presents...
