Dear Biggirl~ I am so glad you liked it. I never DID quite get clear on what the spending limit WAS, but even if I went over “a little” it was such a good deal I couldn’t pass it up. You can tell I am half Scottish, non? It didn’t occur to me until much later that you may not even have pierced ears! (my bad) I hope you DO have pierced ears? Scotti ---

I haven’t either, **Baker** , but I don’t mind if I got lost in the holiday shuffle. I had enough fun finding and GIVING my Secret Santa present, that the whole thing made my Christmas better any way you look at it! Scotti ---

I sent it on Wednesday before Christmas, but it had to go overseas. Even with a priority rush they said five or six days, so I was hoping she would have had it by now. -----☹ —////\\ ---

I got mine! Well, sorta. I got a USPS “Sorry We Missed You” card. So I just have to get myself over to the post office to pick it up, because I know I’m not gonna be home to wait for re-delivery. ---

Heh. Thanks, **corvus**. Now I’m trying to figure out what part of my online personality made you think a [Despair.com](http://Despair.com) calendar would be appropriate. Because, damn you, it _was_ appropriate… 🙂 ---

Hmm…someone please tell me who my Secret Santa is!! I know you have to be one disturbed person to (A)know such a thing existed in order to buy it for me and (B)have the balls to buy it and ship it to me! I am impressed, though! ---

I’ll email them and see if they want to be revealed. Just so you know, they sent me an email thanking me for assigning you, while cackling and rubbing their hands together. What did you get, anyway? –Tim ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Homer \* > **Just so you know, they sent me an email thanking me for assigning you, while cackling and rubbing their hands together.** I assume you are talking to me! I don’t doubt that this is true! I refuse, however, to reveal what the item is! That is, until my Secret Santa reveals him or her self! That way, I don’t have to share the embarassment alone! ---

Chin up! I took a peek at the list, and you both have very reliable people assigned to you. I’m sure that it’s simply taking a while in the mail. Don’t fret! 🙂 –Tim ---

Well, I didn’t get mine before I left for New England… so I won’t get it until my 'rents mail it to me at school. Will someone please own up? 😃 Also- can you let me know if you wrote my initials or my full name? My mom has the same initials and I want to warn her just in case… Mine should be arriving to some doper’s house soon. Hope they check in. ---
