Subject: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: GUEST,Eye Lander (not logged in) Date: 28 Oct 08 - 05:30 PM Well! am I to be the first, My pressie arrived a week or so ago while I was at home on the IOW. Apologies to My SS for not getting round to say thank you before. You read my hint list carefully and came up with a very very lovely Nativity Scene carved in Olive Wood it is lovely. Thank you very much, you are far too generous - it is already on display at home, much to my friend's surprise. Jillie |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: sian, west wales Date: 29 Oct 08 - 05:48 AM You OPENED IT?????????? OK - call me Old Fashioned ("you're old fashioned!") BUT what happened to opening Christmas presents at Christmas (or seasonal holiday as appropriate)? Sheesh. A warning to my SS - I'll be away a lot over Christmas so you probably won't hear from me until the New Year. But I know I'll love whatever you send and you're a most wonderful Santa. Thanking you in advance, I remain, Yours, sian, west wales BTW - NOT Eye Lander's SS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: artbrooks Date: 29 Oct 08 - 09:22 AM And a warning to my Secret Santee...being a male-type person, I am genetically unable to begin my holiday shopping until December 24th, so Happy January to you, too. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: GUEST,Eye Lander (not logged in) Date: 29 Oct 08 - 11:49 AM Didn't mean to honestly, it was just a box addressed to me. I was waiting for 2 pairs of slippers and assumed they had been sent in 2 parcels! On the delivery note when I opened the box was hand written, I assume by the supplier 'from your Secret Santa' If you knew me well you would know that in our house ALL presents wait until after lunch, washing up is done and we have a mug of tea, then we open presents, my daughter is just the same now that she is married and in her own home. I rest my case M'Lud. Jillie |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: sian, west wales Date: 29 Oct 08 - 12:52 PM Well, ok. I'm sure your SS'a will understand. Did you expect the 2 lefties to come in one, and righties in another? I understand that's how they used to ship consignments of leather boots during the war ... sian |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: GUEST,Eyelanders Secret Santa. Date: 29 Oct 08 - 01:17 PM I do not mind when you opened the parcel as long as you enjoy the scene for many years to come. A secret Santa. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Eye Lander Date: 29 Oct 08 - 06:56 PM also I think parcel came direct from supplier and therefore was not wrapped in xmas paper. Jillie -still feelng guilty! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Bat Goddess Date: 30 Oct 08 - 09:41 AM This is all setting the bar rather high, innit? My SS has promised an early arrival (of something that can be opened early), too. Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: sian, west wales Date: 04 Nov 08 - 07:25 AM Taaaaa Daaaaaa! Ricky-ticky-tacky, Ricky-ticky-tacky,Ricky-ticky-tacky TAAAAAAAAA! My pressie's HERE! Whoop! Whoop! Hurrah! Thank you, Hen Santa! Diolch diolch diolch yn dalpe! (Thanks for the laff too - you've told me to be an invalid and wait for Christmas!) I also have a sneaking suspicion that I just may have been SQUEAKED. The parcel is from East London and no identifier except the post code. So - OK, Hen Santa MAY be a genuine Eastender OR has taken Liz up on her dastardly offer .... Hmmmmmm. OK - so ... can I at least open the outside box that it came in? I'm being Very Good and haven't even gone that far yet. (I'm actually very good about opening pressies ON the appropriate day - but I may have an early Christmas and open this on the 13th. I have a flight to catch and cant take stuff if I don't know what's in it. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!) titivated, yr eiddoch mewn gwewyr nefolaidd sian |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: sian, west wales Date: 04 Nov 08 - 09:30 AM OK - my guess is that "Guest" might be my "Hen Santa". You are causing me ENDLESS hours of merriment here! Ref: the Welsh Signs thread. I think there must be a lot of people using the same translation software! LOL! Liz, you're evil. But evil-with-sprinkles. sian |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Nov 08 - 05:09 AM Being Evil has its own rewards. Being 'Evil Offspring' has even more... Limpit got what her Santa Present this morning!!! Well, I think that's what it was... could Santa confirm please? I got to it before she did so there was no wripping of wrappers and the secret will be kept until Christmas... Unless there's perishables like chocolate in there that a caring mother needs to try before giving to her darling spawn? :D LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: GUEST,Limpit's smug and smiling Secret Santa Date: 07 Nov 08 - 10:42 AM Hullo Liz! Santa is delighted to hear it's arrived safely. Assuming it came from a certain business in a certain city with a memorable bridge, it is indeed from Limpit's Santa, who had it sent some time ago from a favourite shop in far-off climes. That shop does not, sadly, carry chocolate and Santa was not able to get to the shop in person to remedy the error, so Santa is sorry to say that no opportunity arose to slip rewards into the package for Limpit's mum. Je regrette... By the way, unless customs has had its wicked way, that gift should be tastefully gift-wrapped under its outer postal shroud. Best regards and I remain your faithful servant, Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Nov 08 - 07:10 PM Right... Post office did not tamper with it, so not writing 'anthrax capsules, handle with care' was a good call. Er.. I know lots of certain towns with certain bridges.. there's Bristol with the Severn Bridge... Hull, with the Humber Bridge - even London has a couple of reasonably well-known river crossings! But the parcel came from proper forrin parts so I'm presumng it's not Cardiff... Thanks again, it will be placed in a position of secrecy and revealed at the appropriate time. LTS and Limpit. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Liz the Squeak Date: 08 Nov 08 - 03:43 AM Ah yes.. Arizona has OUR bridge - and you even had to build a lake for it go to over! I'm afraid Geography isn't one of my talents and forrin geography even less so. San Francisco is in Nebraska isn't it? :D SECSY LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: sian, west wales Date: 20 Nov 08 - 07:28 AM emmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. OK. I'm confuseder and confuseder. A nice delivery man has just brought me a package which he says probably has wine in it, and the delivery card just has 'Cofion Annwyl' (Fond Regards, correctly phrased in Welsh) on it. But ... I already have a package. So... ummm ... Have I been double santa'd? I still believe in Santa; more than I believe in Secret Admirers anyway. Please tell me the wine will go off and I have to open it now. I reckon it's arrived safely as there's nothing dripping out the bottom. (nicely boxed up with pretty silver ribbon, I might add.) Ooooo. This is nice! sian |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 Nov 08 - 07:37 AM ~Some Santas like to send many little packages... you never know which one you'll get! SECSY LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Anne Lister Date: 20 Nov 08 - 12:57 PM No present, but I've had a sparsely worded postcard to remind me that Santas are everywhere ... thank you, SS! (Unless it was another SS trying a bit of misdirection?). But it cheered up an otherwise boring bundle of mail! Anne |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: sian, west wales Date: 20 Nov 08 - 03:59 PM Well, my lovin' Santa may feel free to send me as many parcels - with or without bottles of wine - as s/he sees fit. I shall love them as I would love me own childruns. xx sian |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Wyrd Sister Date: 21 Nov 08 - 08:18 AM Well Santa, I THINK my package has arrived. I've received an anonymous yet intriguing brown paper parcel, about shoe-box size, marked 'Do not open until Christmas'. I shan't, so I won't know until then whether it's you or not. But no-one else ever sends me parcels. Thank You |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Tig Date: 26 Nov 08 - 09:34 AM Hello Santa. Thank you very much. My pressie has arrived safely all the way from Australia this morning. I have been a good girl and not opened the pretty paper. I haven't even taken it out of it's tough envelope, just pulled the tag a tiny bit to check. Hope you aren't too overworked and rushed. Have a nice time after your deliveries. Love and hugs Tig xxx |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: sian, west wales Date: 26 Nov 08 - 06:05 PM Hey, My Santa - sorry, your last message slipped through the net. "Gwisga t adnabod beth ach yn siarad am!" Ummm. Yeh. But mine had wheels. sian (when all this is over, you HAVE to tell me where you're getting this stuff - it needs to be on the Welsh Assembly Gov't's extermination list...) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: GUEST,Tig's Extra Special Secret Santa Date: 27 Nov 08 - 04:43 AM Well now Tig that is good news! I was a little concerned that the elves this year were not quite up to scratch, but it seems they did OK. Now they can start polishing the reindeers' harness ready for the big run on Christmas Eve. Best wishes Your ever-so-relieved Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Wolfhound person Date: 03 Dec 08 - 09:15 AM Thank you to my Australian SS, whoever you are.

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: JennyO Date: 04 Dec 08 - 07:49 AM Well I got SOMETHING from my Secret Santa - but I rather hope it isn't the whole thing. It's a hat, pink and furry, with some words written on it -"I've been a bad girl." I hope this is Santa's idea of a joke, cos I've been a good girl (well as good as can be expected under the circumstances) and I don't really fancy wearing that hat on Christmas Day :( |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: bfdk Date: 04 Dec 08 - 08:02 AM You OPENED it already???? Jenny, put that hat on immediately :o))) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: artbrooks Date: 04 Dec 08 - 09:08 AM JennyO, I'd say it would depend upon what else you are wearing at the time. :) |
