so I told when I sent mine. I think it’s only fair that we tell after the gifts are given. Sniff. Whine. Stomp. ---

Nothing arrived here yet but since I only got to mail mine out today (I’m an idiot–ask Homer) I’m not really concerned! ---

I’ve neither received nor sent mine yet. The gift’s being transmitted electronically, though, so my Secret Santee should get it in plenty of time. 🙂 ---

Of course, I **had** to look through all those sweet little messages to the very end. They were even better than a spider puppet would have been (and no, I’ve never seen one; they sound cool!). I am chewing on a peppermint stick (I know, you’re supposed to suck them but I have no patience). Thank you for being my Secret Santa! ----:)/ ----///\\ ---

Wooo! I got my official X-rated Secret Santa gift. (I opened it now, because I didn’t want to risk opening an X-rated gift in front of my folks.) :o It is the “Enrichments Massage Kit and Game: Tropical Lust Blend.” It contains several bottles of massage oil and a little game where you spin the arrow thing to choose what kind of massage you get. It’s like Twister except you don’t end up with your face in anyone’s butt. Excellent! I can’t wait to surprise my husband with it. Thank you, my Secret Santa! Who are you?? ---

I thought we were waiting for the official “Secret Santas revealed!!” thread. But since everyone is telling…I was your Secret Santa, Green Bean. I’m glad you liked it, it was tremendous fun picking it out. Now I want to know who mine was! ---

I revealed myself to my giftee as well (and if that don’t sound dirty, nothing does!), but they won’t know 'til they open it. I hope it arrives on time! I was going to FedEx it thanks to the wonders of “free” office supplies, but the FedEx people near my office are sticklers for having phone numbers for each address. ---

Just got mine delivered in person…whoda thunk 😛 Needless to say, I’m pleased with the contents, and Kricket wins the prize for first baby gift, so Mrs. Beagledave was pleased as well…yea! (btw we heard the heartbeat on Thursday…damn cool) ---

You may have read my thread about it already, but My Favorite Chique ™ was my Secret Santa (thanks, Bear! :D) and she sent me a card that says this: > [@](#): > > Homer, I’m sorry. I know you wanted your monkey butler in a suit. Will the bow tie suffice? Along with a very soft, and very cute, brown monkey wearing a red bow tie. My parents still don’t understand why I sat on the couch for 10 minutes staring at a stuffed animal, convulsing with laughter. ::sigh:: I can only bide my time until I can get you back, Sandy!! –Tim ---

I am so glad that you like your gifts Dave. Saw that rabbit and had to grab it. Sorry I woke you up! BTW All the baked goods we just made fresh out of the oven the nite before. Thank you Tator!! I love my gifts. I had to open it right away. And then everybody had to play with it! Sure, they all make fun of me for wanting Magic 8 Balls, but then I only had it in my little hands for five minutes. The keychain went right on my keys. And like Homer I got lots of weird looks from my squeal of delight and then laughter. ---

Since we are moving updates to this thread . . . I haven’t got mine yet but I’m not real worried. There seem to be a bunch of people having time crises and I like having an extended Christmas. 😃 However, to one of you who is still waiting … even though I mailed it the 15th (and ExpressPost at that!), it apparently left to go south on the 21st. Then it will likely be hung up at Customs for a while, too. So it’ll be a New Year’s gift. Come to think, that might even be better timing. Tisiphone ---

Haven’t got mine yet, and I don’t know who my Secret Santa giver is, but as I said before, my birthday is New Year’s Eve, so that day would be a good present day too. ---

I haven’t gotten my gift yet. No worries. I was Silly Rabbit’s Secret Santa. I am sorry I couldn’t have picked a more original gift. I’m not too creative. You said you like martial arts…maybe you can buy a martial arts book with the certificate?
