The postal people assured me it would arrive in time, but... And of course you earn extra points for waiting until the Big Day! Your relieved Secret Santa |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Nancy King Date: 09 Dec 08 - 10:09 AM About a week ago a package arrived from Michigan, and since I have no relatives there, and have not ordered any merchandise from there, I assume it must be from my Secret Santa! Of course I'm VERY curious, but will dutifully wait until Christmas morning to open it. Thanks, Santa! Nancy |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: katlaughing Date: 11 Dec 08 - 05:07 PM Well, even though I didn't sign up this year, someone who was my Santa a couple or so years ago, surprised me with a wee package this year! And, I wasn't good at all; I opened it right up! PM sent "Santa." Thanks,again, I love it!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Dec 08 - 09:00 AM Michigan?? We didn't have anyone from Michigan sign up..... did we? MICHIGAN??? You want to watch out for that.. I've seen '8 Simple Rules'! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Barb'ry Date: 12 Dec 08 - 05:34 PM My present's arrived! Thank you secret santa - but I don't know who it's from, cos it only says 'Secret Santa' on the outside... BUT it is posted in the UK, so that narrows it down a bit! I'm going to be very very good and not open it until the day. Can't wait xxxxxxxxxx |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Dec 08 - 05:42 PM Barb'ry - "BUT it is posted in the UK, so that narrows it down a bit!".... ya think? We're much more devious than that... remember the year we got a Santee to bring his own present back from the States and deliver it to a third person to post on, who handed it back to him on Christmas morning? Or the SLAPPERS (Santa's London Actual Post, Package,& Envelope Redirection Service) who are more than capable of being sneaky?! Don't be so sure of anything.... :D LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Joybell Date: 15 Dec 08 - 08:35 PM I've got my present. I've got my present. I've got my present. Going to wait to open it. Won't be easy. Hooray. Hooray. Thank you Santa. Now -- off to check the sign-in-for-Secret-Santa thread. Scotland. Hmmmmm. Up beyond the Firth of Forth. In mountains? Might take a look at the general area and get a feel for Santa's homeplace. Thank you Santa. Cheers, Joy |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Anne Lister Date: 16 Dec 08 - 12:41 PM My SS is still sending postcards, even after the arrival of the package - I'm most intrigued! (and grateful) Anne |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: JennieG Date: 16 Dec 08 - 08:37 PM Thank you Santa! Two boxes arrived today, I have had a peek inside and found some beautifully wrapped packages in my favourite colours. I shall be very good and place them under the tree.** Does this mean I can stop being good now, or should I get a head start for next year? Cheers JennieG ** haven't yet put the tree up! |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 17 Dec 08 - 03:56 AM A large parcel arrived from New Zealand today & it looks like I sent it as well as received it - my name & address was on the back as well as the front! hmmmmm. Oz post would never have allowed that - we have to show ID before we are allowed to send parcels overseas. I wonder what would have happened if I wasn't at the address on the front - would it have been returned to the address on the back? Either those elvi travelled far & wide or its another parcel! And not a Secret Santa parcel. how intriguing! |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: My guru always said Date: 17 Dec 08 - 07:39 AM My parcel is here!!!! And I'm being really good & not opening the pardcel at all till Christmas Day, but it's sooooo tempting *grin* Thank you so much Santa Dear! |

Think I shall have to take up busking too! We are having a session at my house Christmas eve if you feel inclined to come..... ;0) Cheers, Lucy |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Hollowfox Date: 17 Dec 08 - 12:36 PM Woot! The package has arrived, and is in a place of honor on a red plush parlor loveseat (the tree arrives tomorrow or Saturday). I know it's a bookaholic's delight, but I won't know what flavor until the 25th. thank you so much! Love, Hollowfox |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Hollowfox Date: 17 Dec 08 - 12:38 PM Hehe. Wait 'till you see what's *in* the little pressies. Remember not to read the card until after you've unwrapped them all. Love, Hollowfox |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: GUEST,sandra in Sydney's Secret Santa Date: 17 Dec 08 - 08:07 PM Well Sandra the elvi have done some traveling with your yule tide goodies!

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Sarah the flute Date: 21 Dec 08 - 06:49 AM My pressie arrived a while back but I have been a martyr and not opened it yet - well I opened the outer packaging but I haven't undone any wrapping paper. No clues so it will have to remain a big secret until Christmas day! A very restrained Sarah |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: GUEST,S's (the flute)SS Date: 21 Dec 08 - 04:41 PM Hello Sarah, What a good girl you are. I have left a message on the other thread. Teasers and all that. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Maryrrf Date: 22 Dec 08 - 09:09 PM Hey my present arrived and I've been good and haven't opened it - I'll wait till Christmas. Well I know my Santa is in the UK (I strongly suspected that anyway) but the return address is LTS so that doesn't give me any hint as to where in the UK. Well I'll find out who it is Christmas morning or maybe Christmas Eve! |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Sarah the flute Date: 23 Dec 08 - 06:48 AM Well I now have two cards - including a beautiful hand made one, then I opened the two little presents and out popped two beautiful hand made decorations for the tree. ... but i'm still stumped as to which J they are from... Isle of Wight I think - help me out Santa, help me out fellow mudcatters. Leaving the last pressie for Christmas - maybe that will reveal the secret????? Cheers Sarah |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Snuffy Date: 23 Dec 08 - 08:31 AM Mine arrived at the weekend, apparently from Northumberland. There are half a dozen neatly wrapped pressies of varying sizes now waiting patiently for thursday morning. Perhaps my Santa's identity will be revealed in the (un-)wrapping. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: GUEST,MXG Date: 23 Dec 08 - 12:55 PM Dear Lady Mary, Oh phew! I'm glad it made it by the skin of its teeth. I was beginning to bite my nails here.. It's true that your present was redirected by SLAPPERS central in London - it's amazing what that woman will do for a few bites of chocolate, isn't it? Whitby is a clue, dear lady, but maybe not in the way you'd think. Btw you can safely open the box, if you feel so inclined. All items stored within are individually giftwrapped, so there's no danger of you opening more than what you want to. Opening on Christmas Eve would be well in tune with the prevailing traditions where I hail from, so feel free to dive in by then, if you want to. That Leadfingers can teach you diving, if you don't know how to go about it. I hear stories, you know, I have my informants around the place.. Mwahahaha...... Anyway, have an enjoyable Christmas and a cracking New Year, and I do hope you'll be happy with the little selection I found for you. I've almost avoided chocolates, but unless SLAPPERS central customs authorities have impounded them on a trumped up charge, there should be a teeny weeny taster of Christmas goodies traditional to my neck of the woods. All the best, MXG |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: greg stephens Date: 23 Dec 08 - 12:59 PM A cardboard box has arrived, claiming to be from S Claus at the North Pole, so I have put it under the treee to await developments. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Kim C Date: 23 Dec 08 - 01:30 PM Mine arrived yesterday!!! thank you, Liz & Limpit! I was already planning scones for Christmas Eve breakfast, so the tea will go along nicely. :-) Merry Christmas! |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Severn Date: 23 Dec 08 - 02:50 PM Mine arrived yesterday from someone in Nashville Tennessee whose name was on the package, but doesn't match any Mudhandle I know, so it's still all a mystery and will stay within the brown postal packaging until Christmas day. Thank you! |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Severn Date: 23 Dec 08 - 04:09 PM Wait! Just scroll up one post and there's a clue! AHA! |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Maryrrf Date: 23 Dec 08 - 08:06 PM Oh gosh - I opened the box. What an assortment of little wrapped packages! One looks to be a CD but the others...I haven't a clue! Well I will open Christmas Eve - tomorrow! |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: ClaireBear Date: 24 Dec 08 - 04:31 PM Hurrah! My present has arrived from far-off climes. Thank you, Santa! Now, to put up a tree so the box will have somewhere to sit until tomorrow... Merry Christmas! Claire |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: Tig Date: 25 Dec 08 - 09:22 AM That's such good news ClaireBear - I didn't think it had made it and put you a message on the Silly Thread. Hope you, your cub and all the rest of your family have a joyous and peaceful Christmas season and a happy New Year. Lots of love and hugs Tig xxx |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: JennyO Date: 26 Dec 08 - 12:55 AM Well, the rest of my present arrived right on cue - last delivery on Christmas Eve, so it was easy to wait till Christmas to open it. See, I am good, after all! Santa, I have VERY strong suspicions about who you are. You seemed to know about my trip to the UK, and I don't think it was just from reading these threads. Did I meet you at Bromyard? Anyway, I'm going to put the CD on now, and I have plenty of reading matter to keep me busy. Thank you Santa! |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived From: greg stephens Date: 26 Dec 08 - 06:05 AM To my S Santa: have posted a message on the "BS: I Opened My Present" thread. |
