… I’d be happy to serve as a Replacement Santa, if our gracious coordinator would like. That way someone whose original Santa is unable to complete his or her term in office, we won’t have anyone left bereft.
Thanks for the offer Bricker. I’ll email you if there’s a need for replacements. The same goes for everyone who previously agreed to be replacement Santa through email.
The Post Office sucks. I mailed my package from New York to Western Canada on the 19th of December. The box is a mess of labels, (as I previously posted) but with only my address and the giftees address, it should end up in one place or the other.
If it’s any consolation, on Friday the 30th I received a package that was shipped overnight a week earlier…
Ladyfoxfyre has received my gifts, and thanked me in number…hmmm, never noticed that post numbers don’t show on the preview page… well, about 1/3 the way down this page.
OTOH, yes, I do belong on the ‘giftless’ list.
Since you are Keeper of the Lists, can you say whether those that haven’t received gifts match up with the people who say their gifts haven’t been received yet? Especially those that said they mailed late for whatever reasons?
Oh, shoot I forgot to remove you from that list. She was one of the people that contacted me by email to say that she’d gotten it.
In two cases, yes (Ms Macphisto and Pretend my name is Witty). They have both been emailed. But they’ll stay on the list until their gift makes it, that way everyone gets something.
Thank you for doing all this Omega Glory. I’m not getting too worried yet. What with two postal systems and customs being involved, there’s plenty of places for parcels to get bogged down in the system when they go cross-border.
Haven’t received an e-mail yet, and I’m a bit confused by that post…is/was Ms Macphisto my SS? Hugh Jass was mine, and he recieved his a few days before the 25th. Just want to make sure that’s known!
Hmm, you should have gotten your email by now, but don’t worry about it. Ms Macphisto isn’t your SS. You (and Ms Macphisto) are the people whose Santas have sent your gifts out awhile back,so it should be on its way. The email had the same information as this post. Your Santa’s name is listed as one of the people who’ve sent gifts that haven’t been received yet.
Hooray! Hooray! My faith in the mail has been restored. I hope I’ve captured the feel of the original comics in the translations… sometimes it’s quite hard to do.
Hugh Jass, I’m not sure if I’ve received your package, but I have received a package, which I haven’t picked up at the post office yet. I think it’s yours, because I have no idea who else would be sending me stuff.
Oh man, I hope so. I was starting to get a little worried. After thinking it might be there for Christmas, to see a week pass and no arrival, I was getting concerned.
Hooray! I have my package. I picked it up at the post office this morning–apparently they had tried to deliver it on the 28th but I wasn’t home. Since I’m at work now, I haven’t been able to open it yet, but the detailed description of contents (1) looks interesting:
socks (1)
maple candy (1)
kitchen utensils (1)
compact disc (1)
Man, oh, man, I can’t wait to get home and open this! Thanks, Hugh Jass!
Followed shortly by saying in the case of these two:
The Santa had had said the gift was already in the mail.
And now today you add:
Five minus two then minus two equals one. And whose name is not mentioned?
C’mon guys. What did I do? Did I forget to brush my teeth? Was I a mass-murderer in my past life?
Do you realize you’re driving me to eating chocolate? :eek:
