> [@Anaamika](#): > > I can see it now. > > "Dear Doper: > > Enclosed is a lovely handknitted cat sweater. Complementary cat included for fitting purposes. > > Yours, > > slightly askew" I laughed. And then I thought about adding another cat to the two pests we have and I cried. 😃 ---

Went out and bought yarn for a scarf for my Santee. Feel free to regift it if you don’t like the colors I chose! ---

My shopping will be done this weekend, and mailed on Monday. I’m in Kansas, it’s going overseas, so please be patient. ---

Y’all are quick! I still need to finish the last three hats for my family gift pile before I even start on this. I think I’m going to have a busy weekend. ---

My gift is done - just need to get a box and dig out some festive wrapping paper. It should be on its way Monday or Tuesday. To be fair, I’d already started it, so I needed a few hours yesterday to finish it up. ---

Are we all going to wait until 12/25 to open our gifts? ---

I don’t know if I can be that patient. Especially since we quit giving gifts eons ago - this may be the only thing I have to unwrap. OK, yeah, I’m 5 years old… ---

I sent mine today as well. It’s also international, but the PO says it should get to its destination by Thursday the 11th. We’ll see if that holds true … [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-secret-santa-gift-exchange-2014-signup-closed/704314.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-secret-santa-gift-exchange-2014-signup-closed/704314.md?page=8)
