In order to keep the accounts up to date and organized (I know like herding cats), we've started this "Check-In Thread" for Santees who have not received their prezzies and Santas who have not heard from their Santees. Please post if you are either one. To the Santees...you never know, there may be an alternate Santa in your life.

Good idea! But having thought that I didn't have a Santa I now know that I do have one, so I won't check in here!

I have heard almost nothing from my Santee. I do hope she got the package I sent. She has to know its from me since I included my latest CD along with lots of other Alaska goodies.

I sent a package that arrived somewhere in the world and has been acknowledged. I haven't received one yet, but my Santa has checked in. I have suspicions about his/her identity already.

Ol' Santa's had some problems (Cupid's carburetor broke down and Vixen was in heat), so s/he is going to send out what passes for presents on Monday next, s/he hopes. Tabster should receive her presents by Candlemas, or next Lady Day, or maybe in time for the Michaelmas term. Almost assuredly before next Christmas.

And that last-minute strike by the Elves, well, Santa took care of THAT nonsense.

I had a wonderful collection of goodies from my Santa, Lucy (Hawker). We play Pirates on Facebook a lot, so there were some lovely handmade things and lots of pirate booty in a treasure chest, as well as other goodies. Thank you again Lucy. You are an amazing Santa!

I sent my Santee's gift just before Christmas, so he should have it soon. Hope he likes it.

I know my Santee has had the package I posted, because it's been acknowledged several times over. And my Santa has checked in, too, so some time in the next twelve months I'm sure I'll receive something. Hey, it's just like my family and birthdays ... it's like a form of savings! The official date goes by and so do up to twelve months and then suddenly there you are with a present!

Usually I don't start panicking until about Candlemass.... that's when Christmas officially ends and then presents are deemed as 'a bit late'.

Should any Santa know they are in deep doo-doos and need help, please PM me and we'll make some arrangements. You won't find an elf head in your bed though... we need all the elves we can get!

Oy Sarah -

There's naught fer me to do on my end. Pressie Box hasn't been returned. US Postals peoples sez iffin it was coming back herez, its woulda been herez by now. It might be wise fer yez to ask yer employer ta looks into that there mail situation. Iffin they ordered their mails ta beez forwarded, Pressie Box shoulda been forwarded. It were sent First Class Air Mail (Par Avion dontcha know!) but not in anways of requirin' a signature lessen the royal mail folk require signatures for boxes from some t'other countries far away.

Nothin can be dun 'bout ta pressie box on my end. Sorry. Iffin I talks about it much morez, Iz gonnaa strts a wailin' and gnashin' my 3 remainin' teefs.

Yez need to puts on yer deerstalker cap and play at Sherlock Holmesing teh pressie box outta hiding! Good stuffs in that there pressie box. Has yez a bloodhound? Iffin yez let him sniff some chocolate, some popcorn and some spearmints, and tells him "Go find boy!" he mights sniff teh pressie box out fer yez.

I gots some meager little xxxtra pressies I was gonna send but Iz gonna wait til I knows you be back at work an then - I gonna sends 'em surface mail cuz I done blew the pirate postal allowance on teh 1st box. Hopes yez understand.

Yer Big Pressie box wuz mailed on December 4th from Beverly Hills CA 90212 to the first address yez gave the squeaky gal iffin that helps yez track it down. My guess - it's at that old office place or sittin' whar orphaned mails of recently moved offices tend to be sittin'' whartever thats might be.

Your pressie was sent on the weekend before Christmas, and I'm rather keen to find out if you got it yet. I know it does have a long way to go - I just hope it didn't melt, or the inquisitive postal possums at our end didn't get their sticky little fingers and toes on it first. They are pretty good at sniffing out sweet things.

There are a few hints for you there, from your Southern Fried Santa, who is trying to catch a cool breeze while she slaves over a hot computer.

Nothing yet, Santa, but there was a postcard yesterday from our friendly local mailperson saying I have a " signature required" package to be picked-up on Wednesday. Could that be it?

From: GUEST,Artbrooks's Secretive Southern Santa

Yep, could be.

Just a tip - try not to drop it. There is something in there that could get rather messy if it's broken - but it is well padded so it should be all right.

Sinsull, Hope you enjoy using the ULU. It sometimes takes a little practice to get the hang of how it's used but with practice it can be done.

I haven't heard from my SS. I'm checking the mail. I know up here sometimes it takes longer to get things.

Hmmm well the mystery deepens - this is a real piratical tale!!!!!
I am soo sooo sooooo sorry secret santa for all this hassle
What I have found out....
The Royal Mail is only redirecting pirate letters not piraty parcels
The old work offices have received nuffin
Parcel force who deal with piratical parcels say they can't track it without a number. That should have been given when you launched the parcel onto the pirate skies......do you have the number????????? If so we can do a sky battle and capture it back and hoist the jolly roger (or whoever else has got their mitts on this pirate treasure)

Yours hopefully

A very sorry and feeling very silly Sarah

I know my Santee has received his parcel, but to my knowledge has not actually figured out who sent it. Tsk tsk!
