Ahhhhh......I see 630 of them minus the black widow everyday!! Like I don't see enough of them, you have to post a pic of one too???
Just kidding I actually love being a mail carrier, I'll pm your Santa and see where he is on getting/sending the gift.
From my records less than 1/2 of the list pm'd me to say they sent their gift... I hope I'm not chasing people down until February again. If you did receive a gift, or you sent it out please let me know!!
Thanks Dar

Let us know early! We'll help you take care of them...
Glad I don't have to worry about that. I knew money would be tight on us setting into winter so I purchased the gift for my person and had shipping set up during Thanksgiving weekend.

This is why I have opted out of doing the SS this year. My package last year had gone to Spain many weeks in advanced and I am not a wealthy person by any means. I think people should be prepared when they sign up for this to MAKE SURE that they do evevrything possible to get there package in the mail to arrive by Christmas time. People are givin plenty of notice who there recipient is. There is no excuse to drag it out 2 or 3 months into the next year and then for other people to step in to be Santas for the dead beat Santas who just so happened to fall on hard times, which is what happened last year and I am guessing every year. Even though Darr wants to do this every year I am sure she does not want the crap of chasing down through PMs to people of whats going on and why she has not heard from them. Having said that ,,,,,Darr even though I havent had a steady income for 8 months and have $70.00 to my personal name . I will be more than happy to step in when you need me. Let me know, Thanks for letting me vent people, Chris

Chris,
I woudn't ask that of you!! I've had a few people volunteer to step up again this year. I always use some of my Christmas tips from my customers to help out here. So, we should have it covered! I hope your work becomes more steady!!
That being said, I'll probably send out some pm's tomorrow. (working today) to the ones I haven't heard from. If I inadvertently send you a pm and you already sent your gift out please don't get mad. I know I ticked someone off last year. I'm pretty sure I have everyone marked off that sent theirs, but I might have missed someone.
I'll work it out again this year, no worries!! It may be late, but better late than never right??

The very large box it came in: 3 bucks The "popcorn" packing 3 bucks The gift inside PRICELESS. I can't take a picture but what I received is truly one of a kind. A beautiful drawing of my very own Fiero. With "never2old" in the background and my car in the foregreound, I am amazed and greatful Not only that.but a "Antique auto" Maine license plate was also included. Thank you John Veazie. You made it easy for me. I would have gone nuts trying to figure out who to thank. My Fiero mementos { spell check} are increasing. Merry Christmas John.

I'd like to thank my Louisiana based SS for the license plate frame and keyfob! They are fantastic, and I'm delighted with them. Best wishes for the merriest of Christmases for you and yours!

you are very welcome!! hope the glass made it alright....sorry for all the painters tape. (did you read what was written on the tape?) The plate is actually legal for a few more months...LOL, it was the original plate from my 84 before my custom plates arrived. John
The scan came out bad, highlighting the led , but here it is cropped

Wow..thank you two, plus John. I promise I wont use the plate {very neat!}. Probably hang it in the garage along with Robert2"s from Quebec Yes I did read the message on the painter's tape. Did I let that slip that those GT "windows" were sheet metal? I had real ones but one blew off. John ........was happy you didn't incoroporate the damaged wall that I experienced last year.

I got mine today. I should ship on Monday. I haven't figured who my SS was, it's just a mater of time. Half of the fun is figuring out who the SS was? I always leave a few clues, .........
------------------ Ol' Paint, 88 Base coupe auto. Turning white on top, like owner. Leaks a little, like owner. Doesn't smoke....... OK, we're trying to quit.

I sent out some pm's today. They were a basic cut and paste, so if I asked you if you got your gift and you know I already know, please forgive it. I wanted a quick way of sending the messages out. Okay, I'm being lazy!! You caught me.... Besides, I have about 18-20 inches of snow I've got to dig myself out of today!!
Hope everyone is well, and if you are having problems, please let me know!!! Don't be shy!!

Thank you Secret Santa for the disposible gloves, X-mas card, Brandy Beans (with 15% BRANDY inside) and the chocolates! Hmmmm, not sure I should eat the brandy beans and drive my Fiero though.
My Secret Santa is "Speedy SS" but I dont know who that is. It did appear that a woman did all the gift-wrapping, if that helps.
Thanks again, Kit

I got mine last week and couldn't believe it!!! I am not sure that I have ever gotten as big a smile as was on my face when I opened it. The most awesome Fiero gift I have ever received.
It is one of the Yat-Ming die-cast models customized into an Indy. Absolutely STUNNING!!! The pic doesn't do it justice. It looks amazing sitting on the shelf with the others..... DEFINITELY the centerpiece of the collection.
THANK YOU!!!!!
I am worried that my gift has not arrived to my person - and I figure I will send another one out tomorrow. Been VERY disappointed with the Post Office this year.....

Got mine a cpl days ago, just able to post up. A cool new age style Fiero Tshirt and a wall clock. Clock is above my PC now. Awesome. I havent got a clue who may have sent it. But the appreciation is large.
Thanks, your gift might be a bit late. But no worries. It will be there.
Your santa's 1 year old is in the hospital. I got you a new one, I didn't want him worry about Secret Santa when he has his little one to worry about!!

Got my gift today! Or should I say gifts. Thanks a bunch.......how did you know I was a coffee guy? And my wife was eyeing up the butter toffee popcorn. I knew I shouldn't have opened it when she was there. The tool kit will come in handy as well.......Thanks again! Oh, and my kids love the shot glasses. hehe
My best guess for my Sercet Santa is Gokart Mozart. Am I close?
I have recieved a picture--which my Secret Santa sent me--that means more to me than anything I have ever recieved-and I will be 60 yrs old next June. Tis a good thing you wrapped the other gift in tissue--I needed it. Right now, words escape me, but I will edit this and add more later. Thank you so much!!

Glad you all liked it! I was going for an emergency type kit.
I hope I'm not chasing people down until February again.
