Jeeze, y’all are killing me, here. I completed the crafty part of my gift on Wednesday, but I still have to get one more thing, and probably won’t get it sent out until next week. Since it’s going to a far-off land, it may not make it before the 25th. But Christmas technically runs until January 6th, so I’m saying that anyone can give a gift for Christmas; only the really cool kids send _Twelfth Night_ presents. ---

Package is in the hands of the USPS who have guaranteed it will arrive at its international destination by Christmas. ---

**EmilyG** , received your gift today and I can’t wait to see what’s inside the pretty box! My thanks in advance! This is my first kick at this, what is the etiquette; do we open them right away or wait until Christmas Eve/Day? **Silvorange** , thank you for taking the time to organize this! ---

I must ask my recipient to forgive me, the package didn’t go out today as I simply forgot to take it to the post office. No excuses at all, I’m an idiot. I swear it will go out Monday. ---

You’re welcome. This is one of my favorite parts of Christmas! Most people open their presents right away, but some save them. I sent mine the other day, so it may be there by now. \*\*Sent: 11 Received: 2 EmilyG -\> swampspruce Filbert peedin Tread Silvorange romansperson swampspruce Reepicheep Atomic Mama Rhiannon8404 Pai325 -\> Sarabellum1976\*\* [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-secret-santa-gift-exchange-2015/738273.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-secret-santa-gift-exchange-2015/738273.md?page=4)
