Okay, I just ordered something online that will be delivered directly to my Santee. The seller wouldn’t let me add a message to the recipient – so if someone participating in this thread receives something they didn’t order, probably between 12/14 and 12/19, and it was ordered by someone they don’t know named Judy – that’s from me.

Merry merry!

I had a bunch of boxes to mail and sent them all out last week. I wanted to hold back the santa box but I spaced out and sent it. Without a note even.

This will kinda blow the surprise as to WHO has me but.

If my Santa is reading this and wants to send it to my parent’s home address instead of my school one that would work out very well for both of us. So if you want to (no pressure) PM me and I can give you THAT address and I can open the thing before Jan 7th.

Just sayin.

I’ll be glad to send them the address, if you want to send it to me. I don’t mind being the go-between. But, I won’t be able to do it until tonight.
