Oh! Sorry I had said I loved sharks so I received a shark tooth from Florida, so instead of having it lie around, I’ll put it on chain! ---

I opened my package this morning and was greeted with the most luscious scent of lavender, which is my absolute favorite! Thank you, **Rhiannon8404** , for the handmade soap, olive crackers (which will be consumed today, I bet) and the very cool kitteh earrings! For those who have not received, I can assure one of you that a package is on its way! (I won’t say which one, though.) ---

I opened the present that Anaamika sent me. It was just what I needed, a paper towel holder. The best part is that it matches the rest of the things in my kitchen. Thanks Anaamika. 🙂 I forgot to add that I got a personal note from her too and a chocolate Santa to boot! ---

Merry Christmas, everyone! **Septima** , I’m so glad you got it in time. When I mailed it, they made it sound like I had to choose the two-day International shipping ($86!) to get it there in time. **Atomic Momma** , I checked my mail today, and there weren’t any packages waiting for me. ☹ Did you send it by USPS or something else? ---

I just opened my present from Nefarious Chipmunk. Many thanks for the doggie desk calendar. I hadn’t bought one yet for next year. Just what I needed. 😃 Secret Santa has been such a success this year. Thank your Anaamika for organizing it. 😉 ---

I want to thank **Aceplace57** for the absolutely amazing Christmas present. I am a great fan of Ernie Bushmiller, and the rare comics page from 1941 is awesome. While I possess several collections of Bushmiller’s work, I previously owned no original newspaper copy. Fortunately, I have a good friend who manages a framing business, and I will be having her handle the art so it will be protected on its single full page sheet. You sir, made my Christmas day. The hat also is greatly appreciated. I had never heard of the Felsenthal Wildlife Refuge, but a quick search this evening yielded many beautiful pictures. **Aceplace57** , I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. Thank you ever so much. Above and beyond! ---

Thanks, **echo7tango** , for taking over. I’ve been a mite busy. I only just noticed that my recipient, **Edward the Head** , wanted to know if the present was wrapped. Er, sorry. Yes it is. But I’m guessing you’ve figured that out by now. :o ---

Er, sorry. Yes it is. But I’m guessing you’ve figured that out by now. :o No I didn’t mean to “take over” at all. My apologies. I thought it’d be neat to see how the chain connected us, except the anonymous ones, and I thought others would think it interesting, too. But, guess not since only one other put in a chain segment, so, no big deal and I’ll drop it.
