I was already thinking about when family asks 'What is the first gift your going to open?" and I say the gift from my secret santa they are going to be like...huh what?
This is truly a test of my will power.

My person will get two packages since it was quicker than shipping it one (oops I may have given it away....they'll know when they receive it!). Anyways one may arrive before Christmas...the other may not until after. I've been plagued with the flu and a sinus infection in the past three weeks and only bought presents the other day!

P.S. - Nothing has arrived at my house yet....

Got a box in my door at lunchtime. It has a bunch of Santa hat stickers on it. The return address is S. Santa Snowville US, 3.8 V6
There are no instructions to not open it until Christmas. Should I open it? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Of course I opened it!!! There were two packages, both wrapped in shop cloths tied using braided hose with red and silver hose clamp covers as ornaments. The first one was a nice snowflake box with a Borders gift card. The second one was in a oil filter box (NAPA 21515) with 2 Fiero seat belt shoulder pads.
Thanks S.S.!!!
Now to figure out who you are.... I do have an idea

I took a pic, but don't have them handy to post. I got a Sears Craftsman Baseball Cap, a 2007 Car Talk Calendar and a dice game called LCR.
Thanks to "Santa".
The dice game is the ultimate in "no skill needed" games. The sender was kind enough to send a little note saying they usually bet quarters or dollars, instead of the included chips. Seriously, you need no skill (which is a good thing).You toss a dice, and it tells you who to give the money to, and how much to give to the pot. Winner is the one with chips or money left. Happy Holidays to all.

i remember it was from michigan but the box got thrown away before i even looked at where from. so i've been searching to see what i could find. i only found three people who signed up from michigan.
so if it 'were' you and you 'did' send my things. thank you very much! you're very good with a scroll saw. you should offer these in the mall.
...and for the record. even though my steelers are falling apart yet again today...i still have the logo standing tall!

BINGO......... I had my sister's address on it from the other side of the state, but mailed it from Grandville, which is right next to Wyoming. Thanks for the compliments on the saw work. The metal ones I cut glued to a piece of plywood. You said in your previous post you wished you could do it. I'm sure you could if you tried. It was fun Shawn. Thanks for posting the pictures. I will send you by mail the slip for the socket in case it goes wrong. I got it from Pep Boys and they said there was a lifetime gaurantee on it. Always wonderd if that was my lifetime, the part lifetime or Mr. Pep's. Have a Merry Christmas.....Cliff

They aren't going to bed, probably just be with family and not with the computer. As soon as mine is open I will be posting, my computer doesn't know where the off button is.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all

WOW, my secret santa really went all out getting all this stuff for me, and so cleverly packaged with little notes attached to everything. I tried to group things together, and can take individual pics later if someone wants.
There is a candle, which when wrapped said "This Smells" and then "nice" once you further unwrapped it.
The blue piece is a computer USB hub so you can turn 1 usb port into 4.
The Fortune Fish is just that, it tells your fortune mine was that I am passionate
Post It Notes
Binder Clips
Next to the binder clips is a weighted paper holder with stickers of my car on one side, and my gecko on the other side.
The magazine is the Hacker Quarterly.
The Book is The Spontaneus Fulfillment of Desire by Deepak Chopra
The wire is a phone wire? not sure it looks a bit different.
next pic.
A nice tool set in a carrying case.
A real good quality laptop cable lock
A black carrying pouch
A metal case for cd's or other items, and inside that was a wireless mouse.
A large Rubber Poseable Gremlin
And ofcourse this last one was my Secret Santa's way of telling me to get a Red Notchie
I didn't have any of these items and they will all definately come in handy and be helpful. Thank you so much, all this stuff and the effort it took is very very much appreciated.
