My gift will go out probably on Tuesday, unfortunately, between working and budget. I have everything, I just have to pack it up and get it to the post office.

And I received two adorable pairs of earrings, and two gorgeous hand-painted art cards (one Sam and Dean, one Wash) from my Secret Santa! Thank you!

I received my gift, and it was very literary: a pair of fingerless gloves with lines from Anne of Green Gables on them, band aids with Shakespearean insults on them, a tiny book filled with quotations by women, and the soundtrack to Outlander, all from erin_obscure. Thank you so much! I love it all!

I sent one irresistible thing directly from Amazon so it would happen before Christmas morning, but the personal stuff remains unfinished.

amyth!!! I love my gifts! Thank you so much!

I think the package may have arrived yesterday or possibly even the day before, but we've been getting so many packages all this past couple of weeks* that I didn't even look closely at the return address until I happened to see it on top of the stack in our bedroom this morning as I was getting dressed -- and I saw it was from you! And I opened it right away and found the warmest, most gorgeous scarf, plus a pair of awesomely fierce black-cat socks, AND a lovely, heartfelt card from you. I love it all. I'm wearing the scarf and the socks right now, AIFG! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

*We're hosting my parents, my brother, and my aunt for Christmas, all of whom have sent numerous packages ahead of their arrival, and I've also ordered several things online, and there's nowhere to put it all except the floor of our small bedroom. So basically the bedroom is a life-size version of a Jenga game at the moment.

I got part A (per the label) of my gift actually last week (things have been very hectic around here) but no indication of who my Santa might be! Regardless of identity, Santa had perfectly picked the two things I was really hoping for and slightly disappointed not to get - Everfair by Nisi Shawl and a beginner's acrylic paint kit (pink because for some reason the pink one was cheaper) - well done Santa!

I have sent off three different little pieces for my receiver, all sort of random and strange, because that's the kind of year I've had, but I think they may all get there by Christmas!

Hmm was hoping my Santee's gift would have arrived already.

My package is being taken to the post office by my girl elf, but I don't expect it to start traveling until Tuesday.

I don't think of it as late, it is extending the glow of Christmas.

1st package sent but might not arrive until after New Year's.

I got a package from a Santa Laura! or rather Laura Clause!! The RGB Workout book, which I was unaware of, but is awesome. It's an actual workout book by her personal trainer with a forward by RGB and bits of wisdom throughout. I've read through the stretching section already and plan to start using this in between gym visits. THANK YOU!
