As an FYI, I am still waiting for my present. I will try to be more patient this year, but I am eagerly anticipating it :D .

You don't know how happy this makes me! :D

Happy to know you got the card, and liked it! Again, wish I could have written more of it, but it was so beautiful and so elaborate I didn't want to ruin it, so I wrote something near the end. It's also very traditional! Hopefully you learn some new words from it! :D

Wow, I totally forgot to post. I got your wonderful card, DaveWadding, on Friday. Thank you, again, so much for both the card and the Time Quintet. I'm already on the second novel, and I really love every word. Thanks!

Today, I received another package from pinkrenata filled with all kinds of cool stuff! I got a German Uncle Scrooge comic, a nice Disneyland Paris card, an assortment of European chocolates (I loved the Mozart one) and prizes, a postcard from Germany, and a Disneyland Paris map. I loved it all! Thanks Renata!

As for my Secret Cindy Lou, your gift should have arrived last week (12/15). I've received an e-mail from Amazon saying weather has delayed many of their shipments. I am anxiously tracking it and finally appears to be moving ever closer to you so I'm praying you receive it prior to Christmas day.

I got this groovy Cheshire Cat blacklight poster today, but there was no note attached. According to the receipt, it was ordered through Amazon (they have an affiliation with AllPosters.com), so I'm wondering if this is part of a package my Santa ordered from Amazon that got shipped separately due to it coming from a different source. So if you're reading this, Saint Nick, and I've got something else on the way that reveals your identity, don't tell me just yet. I'll give you a few more days, but thanks so far!

(And if you're someone who sent me this as a mysterious standalone gift because you've got my address from somewhere else, then come forth!)

I was happy to see that I had a package in the mail today. I opened it up to find a nice gift from JiminyCrick91. Inside of it, I found a Blu-ray copy of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a Mickey Mouse card, and a Buzz Lightyear Pez dispenser. Thank you soooooo much for the gift, Skyler. Merry Christmas! :santa:

I would like to give a hearty and sincere thank you to the fourteen forum members who chipped in to get me two great gifts: the Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection and Boy Meets World: Season 4! The former is something I've wanted for years but have always been too frugal to get. The latter is my most disappointing unfulfilled review request this year.

Both will be treasured and in fact, I've somehow already blazed through the first disc of "BMW". It's been over five years since reviewing Season 3 and longer than that since I've seen these episodes. It's been so awesome to finally get more of it on DVD. And though watching a couple of hours of a '90s sitcom might not sound like anything extraordinary to most of you, it was the end of a fun, snowy day... a memory I'll never forget and a brief break from all-hours holiday season site work that I desperately needed.

Thanks to AwallaceUNC for again coordinating this nice gesture, disneyfella for participating even though he sadly missed out on Secret Santa, and the other twelve people who displayed a thoughtfulness so rarely encountered in my efforts for this site: CJ, Renata, Disneykid, Dave Wadding, totallyminnie86, pap64, reyquila, Brer Brandon, magicalwands, disneyboy20022, Mooky, and JiminyCrick91. It may not have seemed like a big deal to chip in, but it amounted to what will surely be the highlight of my Christmas and I'm so grateful for all your kind thoughts.

Okay, so it's time to get a few things straight. The card I received was actually an average sized one; it turned out Mama Wondy had been holding it so close to the webcam that it made me believe it was an extra-large one. :oops: The Christmas card was an amusing Star Wars one, and I also finally received my gift through Amazon today, which was "Drawn to Life (The Walt Stanchfield Lectures: Volume One)". But who were these things from? Why, none other than Brer Brandon! The sudden snow probably did result in the shipment being delayed a tiny bit, but that was no big bother at all for me, and now it's all safe and sound chez moi. Thank you very much. :)

Yay, Brandon! I'm glad the rest of your gift arrived so quickly. The Mozart chocolates were very everywhere when I took my trip to Salzburg, Austria (where Mozart was from). Hopefully you don't mind receiving a Scrooge comic in German -- it's unique, at least! Merry Christmas! :santa:

Oh, and you're very welcome for the gifts, Luke! :tink:

You're very welcome, Wonderlicious. I was beginning to get very anxious that it wasn't going to make it before Christmas. Hope you enjoy the book and have a merry Christmas.

The other half of my gift arrived today! I got the book Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. I keep hearing how much better than the book is over the film, so I've been eager to read this for some time.

So who sent me the Cheshire Cat poster and the book? Why, it was none other than TheSequelofDisney! Thanks a bunch for the gifts, and I hope you have a merry Christmas!

Oh, Kelvin, that's not the last of it. There's still one more gift that should be there tomorrow. Merry Christmas, and I'm glad you like your presents!

I'm glad you got your gifts in time for Christmas, Luke, and that they were to your liking. They are much-deserved gifts, indeed. Don't forget to leave a little time for Christmas viewing in the midst of all that "Boy Meets World" watching!

I am extremely excited to show everyone what I got. As soon as i opened my package i was smiling, seeing the pretty box with its ribbon and very cute card inside. I loved it, it had sparkles and of course SANTA!! Thanks for the lovely card and i am glad you liked the photo idea as you mentioned in the card, it has been really fun seeing all your gifts. Now it's my turn woo hoo!! :P

I got so many things from my wishlist you were so generous and i would like to say a BIG THANK YOU TOOOOOOO..... DISNEYKID!!! :D Words can't describe my excitement! :party: :float:

I don't like everything, I love everything! The stickers were so adorable I scrapbook all the time and these will be perfect for my books. I like how you put Belle in the mix, since she is my favorite Disney character ever! I also love Hello Kitty the stickers are too cute! I love the Sweet Pea set from Bath and Body. I always use this scent, it has always been my favorite since forever and you got me the perfume which was very nice of you. I didn't expect it and was about to buy myself one, so this worked out wonderfully!

Here is the box all wrapped up with the card, went a lil pic crazy hehe:
