There is another part coming. I did get some help fromColdfire. After reading your posts I realized that may want something from home. I’m glad you like them.
I have received the ultimate Secret Santa gift.
Words cannot convey the joy I feel as I look with wonder at the new talisman gracing the Biotop family mantlepiece. For those of you who do not have an alligator head watching over you with its vicious wisdom, I say go now to Miami and ask…no demand!..that you get one too.
Now if only I can figure out the identity of my benefactor. Thank Ye! Thank Ye!. But thank ye to whom? The alligator and I shall meditate. Soon we will know.
Kat, I’m glad you like 'em!
[I like toys. Students recently voted that *my* toys are better than my office mate’s. Woohoo!]
Ahh they are both from me, with as I said above a little help from Coldfire.
Fishs Eddy is a kitchy store here in NYC. I wanted to get you something from ‘home’ and Coldy suggested some Dutch licorice. I’m glad you liked that as they actually shipped you the wrong stuff. What you got was the salty-est stuff they had. The sales person warned me that some Dutch don’t like it so I told them to switch to some less salty stuff but they sent you the strong batch instead.
Oh well, alls well that ends well.
Merry Christmas and welcome to America.
I want to know who my Secret Santa is! They didn’t leave a name and I want to kiss him/her for the very nice bath I’m going to have tonight.
And, possibly, strangle them.
There he was just delivering all his toys
Singing do-wa-ditty-ditty-dum-ditty-do.
Oh, I’m gonna be singing that all Christmas long.
My children have absconded with the little mouse and are now looking for a continous play button so they don’t have to turn him on all the time.
Wow, I never thought to offer to share a bath with my giftee! You do indeed have a very special Secret Santa. Try not to get their beard wet. 
Hmmmm, maybe next year…
I just replied, for I am that santa. 
Now, whooooooo lives in Miami? Hmm.
Aaaah ha!
Big toothy grin agrees. Thanks Geobabe! Your gift even impressed my wife, and that takes some doin’!
Now off the gator and I go to solve the other secrets of the universe. I sense great powers radiating from those jaws.
WAH! I’m afraid that the gift I sent out was somehow lost in the mail! It went out by USPS, priority mail (GAH) on Monday. It sounds awful, but it -is- in the mail. Vivalostwages, please check your email. We’ll find a way to get your present to you.
If you do get the original package, you’ll find out what took so long–what I was looking for. I feel so badly! Dang postal service, never trust em.
Biotop, my husband (UncleBill) also gets credit.
And if you think that’s impressive, you should come on down to South Florida and see some real live ones. Don’t bother going to one of those tourist trap gator farms, just look for water. Any body of water larger than a bathtub around here is bound to have at least one gator in it.
My gift got here today. Thanks beagledave. Unfortunately, one of the cups did not survive the trip. Eh, I only have one mouth anyways.
I don’t know if you have ever seen Missy2U do the Happy Dance, however, it is something that, according to my husband, frightened the dog. Ahh well!
But I had to blame it on MidnightRadio - who sent me the most beautiful Christmas Cookie Plate from Frankoma Pottery - I made Mr2U go out and buy a plate hanger immediately!! It is just gaw-juss!!!
MidnightRadio, thanks for turning me on to this place, too! There are some beautiful pieces who I already have in mind for some future giftees of mine for birthdays and such!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I replied, tarragon. Don’t fret. Just blame it on Crewman Daniels and we’ll take it from there.
I’ll let you know if it turns up.
I hope my package arrived. My givee never did post to this thread, although they did sign up for SS, so I would appreciate knowing if the gift arrived safely.
If you live in Michigan and last posted on 12/10, and get a package from “SS”, that’s mine.
I got my Secret Santa gift yesterday. I have not been online to post since it arrived, so here I am now.
I received a lovely box of home made cookies which taste great 
To my mystery secret santa, thank you (my wife thanks you, too).

Did someone here order a Holiday Visions Barbie Winter Fantasy 03 NIB auction #2972899430?
If so, it’s very beautiful and I was stunned! WOW!
If not, looks like I’ll have to contact the seller…ehehehee.
Yay! I got my SS gift yesterday.
I got an evil devil rubber ducky, a snowman bath thingy and a jar full of yummy smelling bath crystals. I immediately ran a hot bath and enjoyed my gifts.
Big thanks to Flashpoint and Gravity.
The candy in the box was a hint!
Well, I didn’t know what to get, so I looked and thought, then you said you liked green. Well what’s more green then Ireland? That and Ireland is one of my favorite places.
Then yours was one of the last presents I wrapped and I had a ton left over, I still do actually but I couldn’t be that mean. I usually buy a lot of paper because it’s cheaper that way. Just be glad I didn’t cheap out and use aeronautical charts like I have in the past!
I also got mine over the weekend. I haven’t opened it, but I did open the card and it’s from Twickster. I’m waiting until Christmas to open mine as I will not have anything else to open at my house that day.
