OK OH MY FN GOD, WTF.....Who sent these to me. I would have never guessed that a person that I would not know would do these for me. And yes you know what car they are for. There could be no better thing that I could have received. I will have a photo up soon. I am freaking so emotional right now I am almost in tears. I will dry up and post
I'm glad you like them...

Thank you so much. I would never have expected to get a set of mats like this. I have been overwelmed this xmas as I have received 2 very nice things this year one from my work and one from you. Money was so tight this year that I was only able to get things for my kids only. And the rest of the family I asked to do the same and not to get me anything and give it all to my kids as I would have no way to give anything that I would want to this year. My family helped me out with a few things although that I asked to not get anything and that was not expected as well. I will say that this xmas has been the best for me as I have received things that I could really use and that makes this very hard year great in the end.
Thank You

He said you'd like the gift Thomas!! It brought tears to my eyes reading your post!! lol
Tina, your new Secret Santa said that he thought you were a naughty girl this year so your gift went out late! lol Check for it around Monday, it's coming through UPS.

I've been there, having raised 4 kids myself and almost all of us have--at one time or another. Your reply above reminded me of that, and tho some Christmases in our lives are not as "elaborate" as others, they can be the most memorable of all.
You may not have realized it when you typed it out, but your post, Fiero Thomas, is a special Christmas gift to us all. I'm not your SS, and I've never met you, but I'd sure like to shake your hand someday.

If been known to go thru a transmission or two, ... but Santa’s ?
I know it has been said before, but IMO I can only imagine how much of your time you really spend on this each year, but I for one really do appreciate you doing this for us (I have a feeling this could be a cause for a headache, at times)
Happy New Year
Tina

I was just going to pm you, just got a pm from your SS he told me he didn't forget about you, working too much but he's off now so he's getting cracking on it!! You'll probably see something next week!
Did anyone else get anything yet?? I know a lot of people said they sent stuff out but I didn't hear from the receipients. If you got something please, please, please let me know.
Thanks!

More pm's on the way. Please answer!! If you didn't send a gift out, please let me know too, if you are having problems, we will figure things out. If you just running late, I can at least let your receipient know. This is the part that gets frustrating, sending pm's and no answer. So please let me know!!!
Thank you!!

This might come off as harsh and insinuative to some but I think anyone who can’t get their gift out on time should not be allowed to participate the next year………it’s just to much trouble for Dar to keep trying to make sure everyone gets something.

Maybe, but the economy this year has been very harsh for some folks, and I can understand unexpected problems arising from it. Christmas, to me is not about the recieving part, and I've seen text here at PFF that held more meaning to me than any gift I could imagine. Still, it is difficult for Darlene. God Bless her for her efforts!!

I agree. Dar had to send me something last year since my SS bailed (or forgot or whatever). She shouldn't have to have done that.

Thanks!!
Here's the udated list of people. Sent more pm's out.
Like I said if you are having difficulties sending something out, please let me know. I already have a few people ready to step up to the plate to help out. Most of you that got pm's this morning were the ones I don't have as received. Some of you that didn't get pm's this morning, I've been in contact with you and told you what was going on.
The ones on the list that their SS have said they sent the stuff are
Chris Hodson Old Lar ckfiero FieroRumor Fierochic88 FieroAurora CowsPatoot Electrathon
The ones that their SS were sending are
maryjane
One's I didn't hear from their SS in a while are
slinger
I'm still working on it, got lot's of pm's out, hopefully I'll hear back from them soon!!
Once again, even if you told me that you sent something out, and crap came up, and you can't do it, just let me know. I know things happen fast. I would never put up a list of people that didn't send anything. I'm not outing anyone, never did, never will!! Just please let me know!!
Thanks.

I would just like to say that if my Secret Santa does not come through for whatever reason that I appreciate others wanting to step in and help out but I would like to decline any such gesture. Thanks, Chris

i know i sent mine with insurance. shows hasnt recieved it or they are waiting till the 25th for it.
YOU are my Secret Santa! Am I right or what?
How do I know you ask?? Well......ironically I received the same exact gift from you before but you would not have known it! You see.....you donated a grey auto shift knob to the Coast Run and I won it in a raffle as I needed it for my 85 GT auto. So.......now I have TWO grey shift knobs from the only guy I know who recovers them.
By the way, I havent responded yet till now as I so not have internet at home, only work. (I just got back this morning after two weeks off)
Oh, and thanks for the multi-screwdriver! It took me a while to figure out how to get the bits out!

yup it is me. Well i never knew who got the shift knobs in the raffle if i would have know i had other stuff in the works that is "secret squirl stuff " till all the kinks worked out. I am glad you liked it. I have had one of those screw drivers for a couple of years and love it. It is a great thing to have in your emergency tool box or junk yard finders tool box. If you want another color or a manual let me know.

... and they are almost gone. They are soooo good. And the whiskey, and the chocolate, and the other chocolate. Almost forgot the Candy canes. Yummy.I am thinking once the cookies are gone ( Give or take 10 min.) Spiked Hot Chocolate. Even the coal is chocolate and cherry flavored. I can deal with that. Thank you so much.
Didn't peak. Not yet.
Now the coal is just about the only clue I got too. I am guessing FL, CA, TX is out, Sorrell's probably not the hottest item in the warmer states. Plus however packages this likes duct tape. Both regular and clear. Don't know about the 7 1/2 shoe size on the box. Wife/ girlfriend/kids? Already here id goes ... Kyle1016. Living closest to the Rau Country Store. Which happens to be in Michigan. Sorrell wearing folks there, like us here in Minnesota. Sooo, are you my SS?
Nope Tina...................wasn't me, but I would have enjoyed being yours. Kitsaboodle..........took me awhile but I think I made you something a couple years back {maybe a license plate?} and you sent a whole bunch of stuff then also. Really neat stuff.....Thanks again. And thank you again Dar..............Cliff
Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas, Tina! You were on the naughty list because of the transmissions you destroyed! For that you got the broken candy canes (no, they weren't damaged in transit) and lumps of coal.
The rest seem to be gone so quickly, they were more of a tease! You were one of the few that gave a good wish list and for that you got everything!
Kern's Sausage made the Lepkuchen and Rau's Country Store supplied the coal, both in the little Baverian town of Frankenmuth, which seemed a perfect place to go up and get them.
The boots are great in Michigan but not as far north as you might think... Keep on guessing and don't peek at the return address! Your S.S.
BTW, it wasn't Deabionni.

I'm sad still no SS gift. and I never got that sweatshirt you sent Jarhead... I wounder if my mailman is stealing all the good mail? Dar, any idea how my SS sent it? I am already going to guess Gokart Mozart for my SS just based on waiting for stuff from ebay and the date sent? but anywho... hope whatever treat awaits me is not lost or stolen. hope you all had a great christmas and new years!
