19 mailed, 11 received, several opened -we need more pics!

Dammit, I was so excited! I got an unmarked package from Pennsylvania, and I thought for sure it was my secret santa gift! Then I opened it and thought, "How strange, my secret santa gave me things that I also am giving to other people..." Turns out Firebox.com ships out of PA, and this was just another of my many online purchases being delivered. How dare they toy with my emotions like that!

Maybe they were intended to be directed AT LJ?? :headshake

maybe someone is trying to tell me that i've become too nice lately....that i should be more insulting as i go about my days.


is there some point where we find out who the SS was? or are we left in the dark? I've never done this before.

It's supposed to stay secret, as far as I know. But it would be fun to guess...

monster 12-18-2007 08:13 PM

I think you should guess and it's up to them if they want to own up

monster 12-18-2007 08:17 PM

I have to confess i mailed one of them and gave up on the anonymity because the post office woman was being a witch about accepting a parcel with a different address sticker to all the others it just wasn't worth it.

Sorry recipient (who already knows who they are seeing as I had to clarify it because I did not declare my involvement in the first place.... :rolleyes: :lol:)

I am very happy to be the recipient of the green wind-up dancing robot dude from monster - I haven't taken his picture yet but I will. I ate the chocolate bar immediately (so no picture) but haven't listened to the cd yet.
Thank you secret santa monster!

Well, here we go! The box, complete with pink duct tape. Obviously my sender has a sense of humor...

The contents, an 8" cock!!! Yes, I measured it. :D

Just what I told Santa I wanted for Christmas. And the day after. And the day after that. And...

well the thing about the CD is 1) the title and 2) the cool cause (free writing workshops and tutoring for kids). But the musicians are all pretty cool dudes too.

An 8x12 (roughly) painting.

monster 12-19-2007 08:01 PM

So come on, all those who don't know... guess your SS

Rich, that is a nice painting. Good work, secret santa.

I know who my secret santa is. Should I mention it or will it make it too easy for others to eliminate and figure out their own?

Cicero 12-21-2007 02:38 PM

Gift finally sent today. I broke some rules....Like....gift minimum..(this is a special case) and date to send...way late. But screw it. I made up for being late which means I am a good santa sending a gift to someone who has been good this year.
I'm so busy aaaah! Bye!!
:)
(I am a procrastination artist) Watch how this unfolds.

I shipped mine a few days ago, but we've had a lot of ice storms around here so the mail has been really sluggish. I keep tracking it but it hasn't gotten there yet. I hope it gets there before christmas!

anonymous 12-21-2007 07:38 PM

Ordered gift to be sent to Tulsa on 12/9. On 12/13 I got a message that my order had been shipped and delivered. I'm assuming delivered meant 'delivered to post office for shipping'.

I'm concerned about shipping to 'Cellar Dwellar' and not 'Cellar Dwellar or Current Resident'. I hope the post office didn't return it. It's a small US Mail letter or package.

Post when you get it.

Clodfobble 12-21-2007 09:28 PM

As an example of how fast regular US mail is moving right now... my most recent paycheck was mailed on Dec. 7th, and it arrived at my house on the 18th (i.e. 7 business days)--and that was within the same city.

So something mailed on the 13th might in theory get there on the 24th, but since it's going to a different city than the retailer's shipping location, all bets are off. Unless of course it was sent "Priority Mail," that goes faster.

Sundae 12-24-2007 05:52 PM

I think I know my SS. I've PM'd just in case - I may be wrong.
But I am sure it is a woman, and a kind and clever one at that.
