The package I missed on Wednesday that I picked up today turned out to be one from a friend, so I'm guessing my Secret Santa one won't be here till Saturday. That's okay, since that means four straight days of gift opening (Wednesday I got gifts from co-workers, today from a friend, tomorrow from family, and I'm assuming Saturday from Secret Santa).

If my gift didn't come before Christmas, I'd open it in honor of New Year's once it got here.
There can be New Year's gifts, can't there?
My mom checks the post office everyday for our mail. Today I got home from work (house cleaning with my boss) at noon and pop into mom's office to tell her "hi". She points to a package on her hideaway bed, it was for me!
I opened it and found:

DVDs!

Thank you so much, Just Yourself! I'm working on collecting all of Tim Burton's films. I like Batman Returns more than the first Batman film because I've enjoyed the Penguin in it since childhood (Danny Devito is such a great actor!). I wanted Edward Scissorhands for nostalgia too.
Mom admitted that she considered hiding the package away till the 25th. I'm glad she didn't go through with that idea. After I opened it and showed her what I received, I told her I would've wanted my Secret Santa know the package arrived as soon as possible so they'd be reassured it didn't miss Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Secret Santa!

So glad you received and enjoyed your gifts, Sky Syndrome!
I really do apologize for shipping so late. I tried to get a Gizmo plush made by NECA to go with the movies, but I ran into some trouble with the company I bought from and I thought you'd like the movies. I'm a big Tim Burton fan myself. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 
Cheers,
JM

Aw, thank you for putting so much thought into my gift. I'm psyched for Burton's Wonderland film next spring. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you! 
I've got something funny to share. A few weeks ago, Christmas gifts to me, my sister, and my mom arrived in the mail from some friends of mom's in Arkansa. Today, I opened the three gifts they sent me and one of them was a 4" statue of an emperor penguin. What a coincidence! All I would have to do is attach a little rocket prop to the statue's back and it'd look like it stepped out of Batman Returns. I don't know why mom's friends chose to send me a penguin, they know I'm horse crazy. But I have nothing against penguins, I always thought the emperors looked classy.

the 10th...as in January???Jack Skellington wrote:Err Secret Santa, I mentioned earlier that I'm gonna get my present at the 10th of next month, so pls don't attack me with your reindeers just yet.
If that's so....I wouldn't worry as much about the reindeer as I would the forum mods and a very dissapointed mixed feelings Luke the Forum and site creator
Edit - I didn't realize that you wouldn't recieve your gift until the 10 of January....but that could put the wrap up of 2009 Secret Santa on hold....

My Secret Sants gift arrived today! It was the Monsters, Inc. Blu-ray in a beautiful steelbook case. A Christmas card was also included that was filled with nifty Alice in Wonderland stickers. Who sent this? Why, it was none other than my very own Cindy Lou Who Anne! I think this marks the second time in UD's history that two people ended up being each other's Secret Santas the same year. Thank you so much, Anne, for the movie, card, and stickers. Monsters, Inc. is one of my favorite Pixar films, and I feel it's rather underrated. I'm looking forward to seeing it in glorious HD. I'll have to think of a good spot for the Alice stickers. Perhaps on my Nintendo Wii. Thanks again; merry Christmas and happy new year!

I sadly STILL haven't received my Secret Santa present. Its been driving me nuts! So much so that I decided to spoil the surprise and find out who sent it so maybe we can figure out what the hell happened.
I feel sad that I had to ruin the magic, secret and fun of Secret Santa. But I've been doing EVERYTHING in my power to make sure I don't miss the present, including buying a mail box for my house, and it frustrates me to no end that nothing has come out of it.

I'm so relieved that you finally got your gift! I was getting really worried. I'm sorry that it didn't arrive before Christmas. It took much longer that the lady told me at the post office! At least it arrived before New Year's Eve!!!Disneykid wrote:My Secret Sants gift arrived today! It was the Monsters, Inc. Blu-ray in a beautiful steelbook case.

It was so funny when I received my gift and saw your name on it... I really was looking forward seeing your reaction when you receive mine! I also think it did not happen often that two people ended being each other's Secret Santa!
Well, I'm really happy that you like your gift! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends!
