I was starting to despair about ever getting my Secret Santa gift, but finally, it arrived. I’ve been mumbling and grumbling about the incompetence of Canada Post, but alas, it turns out that I am to blame. In a moment of cognitive failure, a wee brain stall, I gave my work postal code to go with my home address, resulting in the delay of my parcel. And sqweeeeeee… the best tea mug ever. Perfectly sized and doggy enough to make me smile just looking at, plus yummy sweeties to munch on. Thanks, Santa! ---

And with that, if I’m not mistaken, everyone has gotten their gifts. Let me know ASAP if that’s not the case – otherwise I’ll just wish everyone a happy 12th Night and say see you all next year! ---

I’m so glad it arrived and you liked it! I was also beginning to wonder where the heck the parcel was, or if it had arrived and you hated it! I’m glad it’s a hit. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/secret-santa-2011/602118.md?page=13)
