reepicheep, are you telling me my yummy, nummy, orange was ā€œsmuggledā€ across state lines under the guise of coconut confections? no wonder it was soooo very good and juicy. ---

Just got back from the P.O. having sent off mine. Hope Santaā€™s reindeer have a smooth ride! Oh, I forgot to warn my Secret Santa: I included a couple of candy canes. The little red-and-white ones are the traditional peppermint, but the other funny-colored ones are Spree and SweetTart. I think. Iā€™ll double-check when I get home and try to remember to post back. šŸ™‚ Anyway, theyā€™re fruity, not minty. ---

**Aceplace** ā€“ your Santa wants to know if you or others in your household have issues with tree nuts. I sent you an email a few days ago. Iā€™ve been away for the last week dealing with various real-life things, but am back now and doing my Santa shopping is very high on my to-do list. Sorry, Santee! I havenā€™t forgotten you! ---

> [@Shirley\_Ujest](#): > > Mine shipped out to a reeeeeaaaaaaaallllly far away locale. It might make it there before xmas. _Well_ before Christmas, got it today!! Opened it just enough to realise it was my Secret Santa gift, then stopped. I will wait until Christmas day, or snow, whichever seems most appropriate. Thank you **Shirley Ujest**! Iā€™ll post when I open it up for real. šŸ™‚ ---

Iā€™ve now got a cool gift box and a bow, some holiday paper, a card, and even some tape. All of them are sitting there along with my gift, waiting for me to wrap it. All I have to do is find a mailing box (I knew I was going to regret throwing away all my old Amazon boxes! This is how packrats justify themselves, dammit!) and I will have it shipped out this Saturday.
