That is a nice quilt, John!
I'm pretty pissed off. I ordered Tony's gift on Dec. 13th and it hasn't arrived yet. WTF???
I'm in contact with the supllier and Tony about it, but the thrill is gone... Sorry, Tony. I WILL get you your gift, but it pisses me off a bit that that the clowns haven't delivered the goods.
I will make it up to you, dude. Due to the nature of the gift I intended to send you, there may be some flakiness from the sender I suspect.

hey there say, the lisa.... ooops, had forgot to welcome you home... glad your trip went well... :)
also, crimpie... wow, i love marbles, too... sometimes the cats' EYES remind me of them, as they glow in the dark...
also, bluering... sometimes, too, even a late gift, can work to be perfect timing... so hang in there, on not feeling bad... if you can...
i wanted to do something for our "other neighborhodd" mail lady, as patty ann marie, really loves waiting for her... but i had no time...
nearly had no time, here too, barely hit the "finish line",
so "chin up"---perhaps it will turn out to be the "most perfect time" of all for tony... (though i really understand about the fun, for the "kick over the goal post" at proper time, too...
three cheers, for doing your best... ... :)

That is a beeyootifull quilt, Johntp!
Neebee your kitty is adorable :) thanks for the welcome home. It is nice to be back, so I can go skiing and enjoy the snow that fell while I was away.
I am still fondling my gift. Thin is in, thin is in.....

No worries, Bluering.
Shite happens.
Going to Rubidoo today. A bit cold, but I need to climb on the last day of the year. I don't have a New Years resolution, but I do have a New Years wish: I don't want to bury any friends this coming year. I buried enough this year.
Cheers to all and Happy New Year!
TY

Charles AKA Social Climber,
I received a cotton tee with a climbing gym logo and a locking biner. If that was you, I got it thanks. Have a great new year,

Been too busy to snap an "opened" pic, but I ended up with quite a nice (and useful) haul:
• Petzl headlamp (!!)
• Magnetic climbing people
• Cashmere (!!) gloves
• Space blanket
• A big double-ended 'biner for hanging bikes in the garage
• A keychain
• And even a nice card.
My wife was impressed. (She took the headlamp claiming I already had one.)
Thanks SS!
Man, I wish Christmas came every month...

Don't know who my secret santa was, but "Enduring Patagonia" was a beautiful read. Thanks for a great gift.
This swap thing is awesome.

IHATEPLASTIC,
sounds like you scored pretty good.
too bad your SS didn't include a Santa hat, and freeze dried dessert.
that would have made it real special.

Wow, so many great gifts were exchanged this year!
A HUGE thanks to everyone who participated this year. It seems we pulled it off again this year. Thanks again to everyone for being such a great community that we can trust each other with a game of this sort (where money and private/personal information is at stake). Well Done.
If ANYONE has NOT received their gift (and has not heard from their Santa as to why) PLEASE let me know. In a few weeks (to allow enough time to make sure everything has come out right) I am going to be deleting my spreadsheets with everyone's name, address and Santa matches. So if you don't speak up now...then I won't be able to do anything for you...
And I personally need to give a few thanks out...
Zander - Thank you so much for the 'Taco tshirt. When you mentioned a Supertopo t-shirt to send to me I thought it might be the weird-multi-colored-climber shirt (which I think is HORRID) but instead it was the AWESOME taco-stuffed-with-climbing-gear shirt. Perfect!
neebee - Thank you for the lovely Christmas card. My family was curious and then surprised when I told them where it came from (more or less a complete stranger). It touched us all on Christmas day and I thank you.
Pocoloco - Thank you for the super tasty salsa! All three jars are already gone (and have been for a few weeks!)! Everyone (friends and family) thought it tasted great. When are you going to start distributing?!? =)
Good luck to everyone in the New Year and Santa will see you again next November for sign-ups!!!
-n
BTW: I am no longer checking the supertoposanta@ email address so if you wish to contact me privately, please send me a message through Supertopo and I will be happy to respond through my normal email address.

Zip... I converted my garage to a bedroom years ago but I shall find a suitable use for the Big 'Biner and post it.

Well, i finally got a day off, got to come home, and what did i find under my non tree....?
oh, what could it be? My Secret Santa has three wrapped packages for me.
a custom bag filled filled with wrapped goodies for me.
munchies, with lots of sugar, oh boy, YIPPEE!
custom cards, with a custom card!
and a book on relationships, that will definitely get read, but not sure it will help.
It is very obvious that my SS put a lot of time, energy, care, and thought in to these wonderful gifts.
I am touched.
Thank you Phyllis.

Thanks Jaybro! My gift subscription finally arrived! I've never read it before but there's a story about skiing naked in this one so I'm pretty sure I'll be entertained. :-)
Happy Santa Everyone!

hey there strider... say, i think part of the joy, was for us all to come up with neat things to do, make, or hunt for to buy, that would be treasures, to someone... etc, for all year round...
thank you for doing this...
i am still enjoying my treasured gift...
:)
say, lolli, did you ever learn if your gift arrived safe?
hope so... :)
say, how is winter, out your way?
god bless...
:)
