My secret Santa, that is!  
Am I the first one?  
I’m not opening it until Christmas day.  
Being a single Mom, I don’t get many presents and my daughter feels bad. So I’m saving this one, so I’ll have a better showing!  
Thanks Santa, you know who you are!!!

Hey!  
Where is everybody?  
Am I the only one playing?

You’re not the only one playing, maybe just the first of many to get their item. Enjoy!

I haven’t got my SDMB Secret Santa gift yet, but I have gotten 2 from my Secret Santa at work. Yesterday, two bookmarks (one a 3-D holographic one with a chameleon–I’m guessing that’s the closest thing s/he could find to a dragon on a bookmark) and today, _homemade_ chocolate chip cookies. Tomorrow, I find out who s/he is.

Say, did anyone ever decide whether we were going to reveal who we were to our Secret Santa giftee after this is all over?
