I'm going to make a strong push for an Eve unwrapping. We'll see if I'm successful!
Try a strong single malt.
or shred the paper and gnaw on a corner of the box and blame kitty!

I have been having fun checking out everyone's comments. Had to go back a few pages to see that my package arrived. Faster than I thought it would.
Happy holidays everyone.

I'm headed to PA for a week, so I'm not going to see what Santa brought me until after Christmas. It will be a fun thing to look forward to on return.

I thought mine was here and awaiting my pick-up at the Post Office, but it's just some patches from Lucky Pink...unless Lucky Pink IS my Secret Santa?
I'm corn-fused...

I'm flying out to sunny CA tomorrow morning; since nothing's arrived from my STSS yet, looks like opening and posting is going to have to wait until January 7th when I return.
Happy Holidays, one and all!

Just got home from an all day meeting in Paris and I have a box waiting for me on the kitchen table. I'm in desperate need of some sleep so will have to crash. More tomorrow :)

My sister works for a company with a Paris office, and she goes there frequently. Being a long-time lover of Paris, she has a keychain with a replica of the Eifel Tower as a little dangle decoration.
She has a young man, a friend of her son, who uses a room inher basement as an office, and the young man has a four-year old daughter who comes to the house some afternoons.
The little girl noticed the keyring on the kitchen counter and seemed very amazed. My sister said "Do you like that? Do you know what it is?"
Little girl answered affirmatively, but still had a quizzical look. My sister asked what was the matter, and she replied "I just always thought it was bigger."
Out of the mouths of babes!

Yep, I had gotten mine but didn't want to post until mine was sent. Should make it there Saturday (or so the USPS says). Here's some pics too!
I LOVE this little painting! I put it right up on the wall immediately.
Darn tootin' I need more biners!! Gonna take this up on LT with Brandon on our big adventure. I got something else but sadly, I don't have a shot of it as it may be construed as inappropriate for the taco :)
Thanks Jefe!!
I love all these awesome gifts everyone is getting and sending. Hope my person digs theirs!

I don't want to make anyone jealous but....
there was a names mix-up and I ended up receiving gifts from TWO Supertopo Secret Santas....! Of course I feel a little guilty but... not THAT guilty.... I am told the "lost name" or whatever happened, is being taken care of, so am keeping that second gift. Mine!
It arrived today, but I didn't take pictures(will try to remember to do so tomorrow. The gift included a very nice Moleskin journal and a nice pen with retractable rolling ball tip and gel grip - which if you've ever used, you know - the rolling ball sets ink down in a delicious way, and the gel grip makes the pen a pleasure to handle.
And not only that, but also included was one of those yummy chocolate oranges, where you smack the globe of chocolate and it separates into segments of citrus-laced chocolate. This one is a dark chocolate "orange."
The cool thing about this is, that the very last Christmas gift my mother gave me was one of these candies. A few years ago, Nita made me a care basket for the holidays, and had also included one of those. They are a sweet I would never buy for myself, and of course bring back loving memories of my mom.

My SS gift arrived today! Here is Pente, protecting the package until Xmas...
I hope my giftee has received their package, I sent it over a week ago, but haven't seen a "received" post... Hopefully the mailman didn't make off with the loot ;-)

Right on Michelle!
Whew, I was starting to think you must not like my little painting.
I'm glad you do!!! Happy holidays!
And hey, make sure you take the biners out of the packaging before you go up on the Leaning Tower. ;-)
It just so happens my present arrived today!
Heck of a wrapping job!
Was I gonna wait???
HAYL NO!!!
Seasalt vanilla caramels!
Just scarfed one right now with my after work coffee! Yum!
Recycled books rule. Thanks, and I WILL pass it on!
One of those personalized calendars! And not a dumb, posed vacation or family portrait style
one. This one's by some climbers!
Sick!
And yes, I HAVE been to some of these places, Monkey Face, in fact!
Who are you???
If you only knew how much I like sweets and mountaineering books, and how every year I blow it and don't have a calendar til, like, June!
Great gifts secret Santa!
I had a crap day and this cheered me up.
Also, it was mailed from Yacolt, WA.
and with it came some PNW weather.
It rained all day in Tucson today!
Thank you, whoever you are!
