Sundae post
 
Santa's been busy early and I got a parcel from Sundae today marked "CHRISTMAS".
I'm a good girl so I won't open it til the Day itself, and I don't even have a tree to put it under yet, so I thought I'd put it here.
If you get a similar parcel - perhaps you could also put it under this tree, so that Santa can keep track?
Cheers

Sundae 11-03-2016 05:05 AM

Thanks hon :)
If anyone overseas gets anything from me (and the surprise will be ruined by stupid-Customs-stupid-label) it will be wrapped inside the posting bag, so you can safely open.

If it's a card, and the label says there is a small thing inside, then it will NOT be wrapped. But it's not worth putting under the tree - just open it when you open your cards.

When my Secret Santa recipient gets my gift, they will know. It won't be hard - I will label it Secret Santa. So that should NOT be opened until Christmas Day. Unless you have no self control. Like me.

I hope I haven't forgotten anyone. I may not have your address, or we may not have interacted much this year, or I may just hate you. But honestly, the most likely sitch is that I've messed up. Sorry.

Lola Bunny 11-04-2016 05:24 PM

That is sweet of you. What is your current address, Sundae? Sorry, I'm so out of it these days.

Santa came early to my little village - I don't yet know what is inside my parcel -but Carrot has tucked into his doggy choc advent calendar a month early :P No appreciation for delayed gratification.


Carrot likes the parcels that arrive from Sundae. They're usually edible and that's about as good as it gets for a dog.

I got a gifty in the mail. I forgot to not open it, which she predicted in her note...lol. i love it, more about it later so as not to do spoilers. Thanks Sundae! :)

Sundae 11-12-2016 05:00 AM

So far, everyone wins!

Had an email from Bruce, so I know he had his prize.
Had a wonderful PM from 'Spode, which I can't access in the library (don't ask don't tell)
A card from Griff - goodness me when did it get there, bearing in mind he had a chance to reply before he went to NZ?! (and it was marvs btw - a design of his MIL's, awfully artistic)
And now my first overseas "public post" from IM.

It's making me happy.
And as an essentially selfish person, I am reaping the rewards.

I can also confirm receipt of another overseas delivery, which I thought was cool, and my kids thought was hilarious. They are not at all interested in the usefulness of it, only the clever name. An excellent item that will definitely be put to good use. Thanks, Sundae!!

glatt 11-12-2016 12:20 PM

I just got one too! Thanks, Sundae! You're awesome!

Undertoad 11-13-2016 09:23 AM

Moi aussi, MOST APPRECIATED!!

fargon 11-14-2016 08:03 AM

I got one too. Thanks Sundae.

I have a habit of losing tiny knives to airport security. I lost a mini Leatherman when we went to Myrtle Beach last year, and this year my 3" folding credit card knife. I forget I have them stashed in a side pocket, or the guts of my wallet.

The scales are balanced again, as I too have received a wallet ninja from Cherry. I love it, and I'm sorry I'll lose it next year.

Thanx love!

lumberjim 11-15-2016 09:04 PM

As for the card covered in glitter,.... I'll do you for that!

xoxoxoBruce 11-15-2016 09:10 PM

Glitter? What glitter? We don't need no stinkin' glitter. :redcard:

fargon 11-15-2016 09:45 PM

I like the glitter, I Lurve me some glitter.

xoxoxoBruce 11-15-2016 09:46 PM

Put in the litter box. :p:

lumberjim 11-15-2016 09:57 PM

Did you see those pills they sell? So your poop glitters? How fucked up is that? You get put right on a list when you order them online.

xoxoxoBruce 11-15-2016 10:19 PM

Why, oh God why? Two girls, one sparkling cup? A holiday special after Charlie Brown. :facepalm:

sexobon 11-15-2016 10:25 PM

That's taking the All that glitters isn't gold thing a little too far.

footfootfoot 11-15-2016 11:01 PM

Got mine and it is super stealth. The inch was impressed as well.

Thanks hon!

classicman 11-16-2016 10:53 AM

Dan received a package yesterday. Will save till proper present openings at Christmastime. Thanks :) You can send me that email now. ;)

Lola Bunny 11-20-2016 08:14 PM

I have been too engrossed in myself that I never made time to come here to acknowledge Sundae's gift. It came last week when I was in Houston for 4 days. Still haven't opened it yet because she said to open it when I put up my tree. Now hearing about her condition, I feel guilty for not getting her card out yet. :-(

I opened mine the other day. My wife wondered what it was based on the customs label, but I love it! It was nice to have something fun to open after 3 months on the road.

will NOT lose this

classicman 12-15-2016 02:12 PM

Good point, Jim. Likewise our gift will have a most special meaning now and shall remain cherished.

What?! You went to Myrtle Beach and didn't tell me?

lumberjim 12-17-2016 01:28 AM

Would have seemed weird because I hadn't met you at that point, so I decided not to call you.

BigV 12-17-2016 10:09 PM

He's telling you now!

Oh so that is your excuse. You didn't meet me yet? I will let you slide this time good buddy.

This is Sunday's gift to me, an Xmas tree ornament. She will be remembered every year until the end of times.

I was very emotional this Christmas morning. I couldn't decide whether to open her gift first or last? So I opted to share her story with my kids and they all said "First." There was a beautiful card - so thoughtful. and then the gift which immediately went on display with the many other Dwellar gifts from over the years. Big group/family hug & a few tears ... <3
As Lola said - this will be a part of my future Christmases forever.
