Remember - there IS a contingent who isn't opening til xmas day. And apparently at least one or two people got the boxes and didn't make the SE connection until opened....
I know it can be frustrating wondering, especially since the longer it goes, if the mail DID go awry, the more difficult to correct. I guess the only thing one can do is to believe the gift is on the way or has arrived, and that the joy is in the giving(no matter HOW great getting does feel...!).
If you hear nothing after the holidays, you could ask Stryder to make a discreet inquiry on your behalf. At least then you would know if it arrived.

A request to those - take a photo of your box with you and post it! Then another when you open it. There can't be too many photos! :)

I got mine!! And I did open it -
I got.........
A BD pecker and a nutrino. Now why would my Santa think I could use such items??? :)
Oh yeah, and I got cinnamon-y lotion too. Nice size for the pack or purse.
Thanks Secret Santa!!
Planning to hang them on the tree for the picture. I don't see too many other pictures up yet, so I am off the hook (I mean beak) for awhile.

Mine hasn't come yet and what I sent hasn't been delivered yet according to tracking. When mine comes I'll be happy to post. And I definitely am not one to wait until Christmas Day. I am away from home a lot while we are at the boat so maybe it's there and I won't know until tomorrow.
Can't wait. Can't wait.....

I got a delivery!
Pretty sure my SS is a female.
Could be lynne.
No wonder she was asking so many questions about who gets stuck with who.
Thanks SS.
I'm waiting until the 25th to open.

I received my package, and since I'll be traveling for the holiday, I opened it!
Voila, mesdames et messieurs, my articulated wooden climbing dood with the worlds smallest pro and ATC from a Secret Santa who chose to stay Secret:
He has sticky rubber hands and feet, and a ton of care was made in creating each of the little bits of his kit. The little nuts are actually swaged. I don't know if the nuts and ATC were poured into a mold or done with something malleable. They look like the usual unit only smaller. Very cool!
I got the sense that my Secret Santa did not part with him easily. I hope (s)he'll let me know if (s)he'd like to have him back. He came with a Flat Stanley assignment, but I don't know if I'll be any good at making that happen. For now he has a place of honor on top of my bookshelf next to an old church-key soda can that I found by Through Bein' Cool that had never been opened.
Thank you, Secret Santa!

Wow.
Being a carpenter, I toyed with the thought of a home made gift, but that one takes the proverbial cake.
What an honor to have received that.

Maple is a powerful timber.
At least it looks like maple, an amazing medium for creativity.
