I received my SS package last night.

Thank you Pixarfan2006!!

For those interested, the package contained the Ratatouille DVD (with the bonus disc and all-important slipcover) and a Target gift card. Ratatouille has been my favorite movie of 2007, so it was an excellent choice. The gift card will probably either go toward Meet the Robinsons or Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Once again, thank you and merry Christmas!

Thank you Amy (blackcauldron85)!!!! Your gift is wonderful!!!! I'm going to read it and enjoy it very much!!!! Merry Christmas to you, your family and to everyone here!!!

You're welcome, reyquila! I'm glad you like it & that you got it quickly!!!

Dear Scapsta Claus,

How is your lace collar? is it unseenly and offensive as it was last year?

I was just writing to say THANK YOU for the really awesome Led Zeppelin - Song Remains the Same 2 disc CD soundtrack. You knew exactly what I wanted even though it wasn't on my list. Best wishes.

Rock on,

Dave \m/

As always.

I'm glad you liked the gift! It was on your original Amazon wishlist when you first posted it.

I had intended on also getting that Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles book for you (it's available on Amazon.ca, making it a cheaper import than Amazon.co.uk), but Christmas gifts cost more this year than I expected.

Oh sh!t...

I double-checked the link I had originally found. And one's an Audio CD (of the book, I guess), while the book doesn't come out until August 2008!

Heaven and Hell: My Life as an Eagle - the Audio CD (it's titled differently)

Heaven and Hell: My Life as an Eagle - the book (also titled differently)

My secret santa gift went in the mail today, and I just realized that I forgot to include a card, but I am sure the recipient will know who sent it to him/her when they get it. It was fun doing the shopping, and I am looking forward to my involvement next year in Secret Santa.

Well, I *finally* got my gift out in the mail today, and my SS (*not* Nazi's) should be expecting it tomorrow or Thurday.

(s) = the first person named in the line has said that they've sent out their gift, but it hasn't yet been reported as received

To My Cindy Lou Who aka assigned Secret Santa:

I ordered your gift online but it was going to take too long to get to you so I canceled the order and just bought something at the store.... Plus a few extra stuff.. So I will be mailing it all out to you tomorrow on Wednesday.. Hopefully you wil recieve it by Saturday...

The gift for my Cindy Lou Who is en route. The card will be mailed tomorrow (Wednesday), but it will probably arrive first. Both should arrive by the selected holiday.

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much Tabetha!!!!! I got "Planet of the Apes: 35th Anniversary 2 Disc Special Edition"!!! The documentary on that is over 2 hours long and covers the entire franchise!!!! I have been reading up on the series watched all the films, the live-action television series, adn part way through the animated series. This is perfect. I have been looking for this in a bunch of stores and can't seem to find it ANYWHERE!!! Thank you so much.

I think tonight I'm going to put a fire in the fireplace, put a pot of tea on the stove, and settle down with a great evening of classic films. Happy Holidays everyone!!!!!

Wow. I'm glad you like it Disneyfella.

I'm actually surprised it arrived so soon. You should be receiving a card from me as well in a few days.

Enjoy!

First, I should say I sent my gift a few days ago and should be where it needs to be soon.


Second, I just got back form school and saw a package popping out of the mailbox. I was so excited! I ripped it open and saw to wrapped gifts and a card. I read the card and found that my Secret Santa was also the first person to welcome me to UD, CJ Johnson! I opened the gifts and found Smallville: The Visual Guide and the DVD of Geppetto. Thank you so unbelievably much, CJ! I love them, and Merry Christmas to you!

I plan on sending my gift sometime tomorrow, or, at the latest Friday. I've been swamped with work lately and feel so guilty every time I walk past his/her gift that's been collecting dust on my bureau.

Well I remembered that I also sent my gift with delivery confirmation. I just checked and all it says was that my item was accepted at XXX time on XXX date at XXX post office. This is very bad. I mailed this on Dec. 1st. It had said online that the estimated time would be 6 days. Basically I know that my item was not received since there is no record of it being delivered yet. I guess if there is no record of delivery as of this Saturday, i will go to the post office to inquire. It was sent media mail because it was so heavy after I stuffed the box with a few items. I'm worried. We don't have an emoticon for that one.

Forget the Secret Santa Gift, I'm upset that you have dust on your bureau! What would Leo say? What would James Marsden say? What would Disney DUSTER say?

Wow, so it's just sitting at the post office of your Secret Cindy Lou Who? Hmm...maybe the mailperson left a notice on SCLW's door saying "You have a package, come pick it up", and the SCLW didn't pick it up yet.

Will this do?

Dear Secret Cindy Lou Who,

Are you getting worried yet? anxious? excited? Well, I just bought your gift tonight. I'm sure you'll love it. But, now I just have to pack it and ship it, which will happen tomorrow. Stay excited, it'll be there!
