Ronnie you are such a hoot! Sherrie glad you got your new laptop. How can you hold that package and not open it? I would be going nuts  ! To all the rest of the SS! I hope y'all have a great day and get those packages mailed out. I am going to update the first post with the those that have sent DC#'s. Thanks!

Good Morning Secret Santas! Hope everyone is having a great week!
Sherrie, 3 grandkids for 3 weeks? You will have your hands full!! How old are they? I won't get to see mine until after Christmas this year. They are having trouble lining up a dog sitter (they have 3 dogs!) until after jan 1, so we will be having a late Christmas with them. I told my dil she could go ahead and send the kids back earlier but then she realized they would be here on Christmas and said no, they would just keep them and bring them back when they come in January!
Ronnie, hope with that gun in the nightstand that you don't have any bad dreams!! LOL! Does dh sleep with one eye open?
Teri, I just realized you said that mini is a paper bag one? Cool!

Ronnie, You are so funny. Good choice to not use the key but sad that you had to wait an extra day for your box. Sherri, There is no way I could have waited to open my box once it arrived. I am worse than the kids when it comes to opening gifts. DH never opened gifts on Christmas eve and wanted to make our kids wait but I overrode that one with opening one because I want to open a gift on Christmas eve!  Janice, You almost had your DIL sending you the kids for the holiday's good try. I am not a stickler for what day you celebrate anything; we have had Thanksgiving on Saturday in the past. But I don't think I would want to miss my kids opening gifts on Christmas morning. These boxes are amazing.

GrandmaJ you stole my word, I was going to say Wowzer!!! What an awesome box, 2 carts, how super sweet, and that Album is Gorgeous, but I have to say Teri be glad you called dibbs, because the paper flower is so Neat!! Great Job Evelyn.
I am still not getting into the Christmas spirit this year for some reason, I haven't even bought any Christmas gifts for the Grandkids! Hope it hits SOON!!

Good Morning!!
Maryanne, hope you didn't fall back asleep and now will sleep through the alarm! Sorry things at work are causing you sleepless nights. Hopefully it is just the stress of the season for everyone there and things will get better for you.
CricutJunky, I know what you mean about that holiday spirit. I can't seem to get motivated either. maybe it is the 60 degree days we are having here. Our normal highs are about 20 degrees less, and to me....WE NEED SNOW!! I always love the first snowfall and it really helps get me in the holiday mood. If anyone has any extra snow, feel free to drop it in my yard!
My pkg for _______________ is still showing expected delivery of today. I hope she likes what I sent and that it all traveled safely!!
Bitsy is in the other room snoring...I can hear her from the kitchen!!
Have a great day Secret Santas!!

Yay more boxes arriving! Cannot wait to see the photos of more goodies.
MaryAnne, sorry you are having a lot of stress and it is keeping you awake. I have learned over the years to try to turn the TV off before bedtime, drink tea instead of coffee and talk to someone if I can for a few minutes about things, so they are not just bouncing in my head. Even if the talk doesn't resolve things sometimes just verbalizing helps. ((((Hugs))))
My 20th anniversary is next week, we have agreed NOT to buy anything for each other since we just bought the house and need to spend quite a bit of money doing repairs. I made DH a card but am wondering if you have any suggestions of something I can do or make for him.

Teri, I just realized you said that mini is a paper bag one? Cool! GrandmaJ.... Actually DH doesn't sneak in the house any more while I am asleep. Anyway if someone was to break into our home, they'd have to get past alarm, but.... DH has a very bad hearing loss and he wears bilateral hearing aids but not to bed. His hearing is 98% with aids and less than 20% without. So at night, I am the ears and I am a very light sleeper. My home was broken into at night about 15 years ago and I did shot the intruder in the knee. That being said..... my package to my new Secret Santa Sister is on its way! Whew..... Jess I'll pm you the DC#. Hope she likes everything!!!! Smooches.... Ronnie

Where have all the Secret Santa's gone? It sure has gotten quiet on here. maybe a little music will help.....
Haul out
The holly
Put up the tree
Before my spirit
Falls again
Fill up
The stocking
I may be
Rushing things
But
Deck the halls
Again now
For we need
A little Christmas
Right
This very minute
Candles
In the window
Carols
At the spinet
Yes
We need
A little Christmas
Right
This very minute
It hasn't snowed
A single flurry
But Santa, dear
We're in a hurry
So climb
Down the chimney
Turn on
The brightest
String of light
I've ever seen
Slice up
The fruitcake
It's time
We hung
Some tinsel
On that
Evergreen bough
For I've grown
A little leaner
Grown
A little colder
Grown
A little sadder
Grown
A little older
And I need
A little angel
Sitting
On my shoulder
Need a little
Christmas now
For we need
A little music
Need
A little laughter
Need
A little singing
Ringing through
The rafter
And we need
A little snappy
"Happy ever after"
Need a little
Christmas now

Also.... Jess I sent you a pm with the dc no. for my person. Did you get it? The reason I am asking is that I looked at your shipping list and you didn't have me as being shipped as of yet. If you didn't.... let me know and I'll pm it to you again. I can never tell if it goes through or not! Ronnie

I was Joysee's partner and did send her box. I hope she is on the road to recovery, and that she was able to open it when she was not in the hospital. I did not want her to have to worry about takings pics and posting, so I will post a pic of what she received. Hope you feel better soon Joysee if you get a chance to read this! I hope you loved your box and that it helped brighten your spirits!
