Sorry, VunderBob - I was rather late sending it and it is coming a long way (from Switzerland). It should arrive any day now. ---

I believe all senders have now reported in, although there are still some recipients waiting on deliveries from international reindeer. ---

Just waiting for **Mighty\_Girl** to get her’s. Hopefully it’ll be worth the extra time it takes to get there. ---

I just got back from my dad’s and the accumulated mail was delivered today and in it was a lovely box from **freckafree!** I got some lovely handmade jewelry (earrings and a frog pin/hair bob) and some much needed and lovely smelling hand cream. It’s so cold here that my cuticles split so it will be well used. Thanks much, **freck!** (If I could find my camera in my suitcase, pictures might follow.) ---

We have been coming and going and crisscrossing the country and are finally home. **FairyChatMom** , I am ever so glad your gift arrived. As I said, it was returned once because the zip code I got in the email was missing a number. Nobody to blame but myself there, I should have noticed right away, instead I mailed it and it was returned from the capital (good thing it didn’t make it all the way to the US). I was on the way out when this happen, so I just Googled the address and guessed the missing number. I am glad you liked it. The book is of my authorship, and the scarf is hand-made and finger-knitted (loose loops because of the thickness of the yarn). Dear **Faithfool** , you, mean person you! You made me all teary. Did you go around reading my posts throughout the years? Gosh, you hit it out of the park. I made a picture and will post it later to make everyone envious. I’d give you a big kiss if I could. ETA: I know FF shipped my gift very early, there just anyone to deliver it to here. So there. ---

Introduce “wasn’t” where appropriate in that last sentence. ---

Oh, I’m soooo glad you liked it! Let’s just say I did a little investigating. 😛 Everything was okay then? I wasn’t positive you’d like the shirt, but Green Eggs and Ham is one of my favorites, so I thought we couldn’t be that far apart. Again, enjoy your stuff and make something awesome from the magazine, then post pics so we can oooh and ahhh over it. 😃 Merry Christmas!! ---

Num num num! My package from **Anaglyph** in Switzerland just arrived within the last 15 minutes. The homemade cookies were excellent, and I loved the Switzerland t-shirt. My father’s family has a geographic origin from the German-Swiss border, so that’s extra special. I also think my wife and I are not the only ones to enjoy the cookies. The box was re-taped, and the bag inside had a hole in it. Hungry customs officials, perhaps? :dubious: You betcha I want the recipe(s), too. Many thanks, and happy new year! ---

My snowy day was brightened considerably by my secret santa package **KinkiNipponTourist**. 😉🙂 Many, many thanks to her for her thoughtfulness. I love the figurine and food items. ---
