KevinMos3 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I waited till Dec 10 to ship, not because of procrastination, but so that it wouldn't arrive too early before Christmas. I'm afraid I may have messed up if we were supposed to remain anonymous. I put my name/address on the package because I was afraid this post office wouldn't send it without that info. After seeing some of these posts, I realized I forgot to include candy... Oops! I'll have to make up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'm a little worried about my SS -- my USPS information says the package was delivered, but the guy hasn't even posted here since he signed up for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) I put my name/address on the package because I was afraid this post office wouldn't send it without that info. The post office will happily send a package without a return address, but if there is any trouble with the package reaching its destination, they will just as happily dump it in the dead letter file. What I do is include my address but not my name. Sure, anyone who has had business with me before might recognize the address, but I figure that's a good compromise between staying anonymous and risking the package getting lost in the ether. Of course, now that I've revealed my little trick, my victim recipient just might know who I am now. And I know he got the package, since he's already posted back here. So I'll just say one thing more: You're welcome, and I hope you made sure to look through the whole box!

the.golden.ax Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Anybody that doesn't get a gift should PM me after the mail comes on the 19th, and I will pick a random Rescue Reindeer for them. Note: if you didn't send your SS gift out by now, you are naughty. Make sure it comes by the 19th so you don't make Santa's Naughty list for next year Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 My SS came today!! Nothing was wrapped so opening the box resulted in opening the gifts! The Golden Tee will get a work out and I purposely cut my cheek so I could apply a pac-man band-aid! The other stuff I put under the tree for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savetz Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Thank you, Secret Santa Deteacher! My Santa sent Ready Player One (yay!) and some tea and yummy fruity candies. So fun. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpackmommy Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Got my Secret Santa package today! Thanks to Ax for setting the SS exchange up, and thanks to my Santa for the books. I got Odd Apocalypse and What the Night Knows to add to my Hard Back Dean Koontz Collection. THANK YOU!

labrat Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 After a fairly long-feeling week I decided that its close enough to Christmas to open my package... My 'secret' santa (thanks, you-know-who you-are!) pretty much nailed all of my requests. I love the rainbow of 5.25" floppies. I've seen lots of colored 3.5" disks and have a few used red 5.25", but these are new and the colors are new-to-me. Dark chocolate needs no explanation . Oh, and the socks may seem like a boring gift, but its winter and having warm feet is important. I'm also glad to see by DC# that my gift has been delivered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybingo Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I am late with sending my gift, but the recipient won't be disappointed...It will go out tomorrow via priority, so it should easily be there before the 19th. I just needed the time to get the right gift items!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennybingo Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 You still haven't posted those pics yet! It has been a looooong work week...tomorrow for sure! Everything is still in the box, so I will take care of that. I just don't have the energy to hook up the camera to the computer at this point in the morning.

jd_1138 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 It has been a looooong work week...tomorrow for sure! Everything is still in the box, so I will take care of that. I just don't have the energy to hook up the camera to the computer at this point in the morning. On the HP Media Smart PC I used to have, it had a built in SD card reader. I'd just pop out the SD card out of the digital camera and pop it into the PC. Now I have to connect the camera to my laptop. I need to get on Newegg and buy one of those $5 card readers. I guess some cameras have built in wi-fi, so you could set it up to sync with your network automatically. That'd be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 My SS box arrived today! I got some Hershey's miniatures (om nom nom), a BluRay movie, and a METRIC TON of DC comics from the 1980s! Now, on this last part, I have to extend my SS a very humble thank you. From my wishlist, it was obvious that I'm a comic book fan... but it took a lot of thoughtful consideration to realize that I'm partial to DC and my favorite era to collect is the 1980s. My secret Santa possesses either a very generous spirit or had a remarkably lucky guess. Thank you so very much! I have no idea who you are, but if you'd like to give me a nod, I'd appreciate thanking you properly. Merry Christmas!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
