Whoever you are, my giftee, I had lots of fun today starting to stuff your stocking. Fair amount of hooch and chocolate involved-hope that’s ok. 3 stores pillaged in your behalf, 3 to go. 🎶🎵 making a list and checking it twice…🎵🎶. ---

Hey, @Sir_T-Cups do you have our names yet? (I think I sent them out, like, five minutes before midnight, so if you’re still dealing with it, I totally understand.) ---

Take your time! I’m thankful to you for taking this on. I won’t be able to do much until this weekend at the earliest. And if it means pressies come a little later, well that just mean the gift giving season lasts a little longer. 🙂 ---

I know everyone is eagerly anticipating their giftee, to which I will say you’ll get it! …this evening. I have a small break in my day and I want to put out the full list that I have. That way, if I forgot anyone, they can holler at me before I pick names: **Myself** **purplehorseshoe** **Swampspruce** **MissTake** **BippityBoppityBoo** **Rhiannon8404** **Czarcasm** **Baker** **rocking\_chair** **JaneDoe42** **Anaglyph** **Nayna** **EmilyG** **hocow** That’s not a bad haul! 14 people ain’t too bad and it’s an even amount so, you know, that helps. To answer the previous question, you will receive an email from me sent to the email address you originally sent to me with your person. See ya’ll tonight! ---

Names are picked and emails are sent! Mrs. Cups helped and I think we were able to get everything off ok. Spoiler Alert: No one has an even exchange…everyone is picking for someone different! I only managed to screw only one thing up, which is somehow losing an email. I’ve PM’d the person. I believe that’s my only oopsie, but if you haven’t gotten an email from me or I gave you the wrong person PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Thanks everyone and Merry Christmas! ---

Thank you again @Sir_T-Cups ! Please thank Mrs. Cups for her help. I have my giftee and am looking forward to imagining the happy look on their face when opening the package. I will try to send it out on Tuesday. Could folks post their preferred shipper? We get the best results with UPS, FedEx is next and USPS is delivered by a contract employees who’s contract is running out at the end of the month. ---

Per a tradition I randomly started for myself a few years back, I am painting the box I use for the Secret Santa exchange here, tonight. I was often re-using boxes with tons of old labels and stuff on their sides in years past. Wanted to cover 'em up, but all festive-like. This year, I’m using a brand new box, but I wanted to do it just cuz. ---

I’m not painting, but I am sitting here and making a list of the preferences of my giftee, some ideas and also a shopping list for when the snow here melts enough I can grab contactless pick up orders from some local stores. I’m enjoying the process. My giftee is not a Doper I ‘know’ so I hope I do ok by them. ---
