Has everyone at least sent out their gifts by now? Only nine days of mail left before Christmas Day!

Thanks So have I, everything looks great, I love seeing Christmas gifts & I am glad people are playing along

Ceej received her gift from me ten days ago, so now I'm patiently awaiting mine from whoever my Secret Santa is.

Hmm, maybe I haven't received it because I haven't yet done my traditional 'Bills! Nothing but bills!" post.

I sent mine by express last week. It's worrying me my recipient has not got it yet.

I'm cheating. I have Prime shipping.

BTW, atlantica, I sent you your card last week. Might take a while, but it's very traditional and very Disney

Nope, it hasnt come yet, but I await it with excitement !!

I'm terribly worried now that mine has been dispatched and supposedly delieverd for the 6th of December, but my Secret Santa hasnt said anything ...

Dear Cindy Lou Who, I sent your gift last Monday.

I received the gift my Secret Santa sent me.

Thank you very much, magicalwands. Yay! New stuff to add to my MP3 player.

That idea actually flopped after I pitched it last year. Last month, Want2beBelle wanted to see last year's send/receive thread and I posted the link to it. They saw in it that I had suggested us participants post pictures of what we get and posting my pics after I got my package. In the end, it was my pics and your pic of a Buzz Lightyear action figure. I don't know if I would have suggested again that we post pics if Want2beBelle hadn't. In any case, I would have posted my pics.

I just got in from long flight -- Berlin to Frankfurt to Chicago to Minneapolis -- and what was awaiting me when I got home but my Secret Santa gift! Thank you, disneyboy20022 for the Cold Mountain DVD and <i>TCM Holiday Films Collection</i>! You have made an excellent start to my holiday celebrations!

Merry Christmas!

You're welcome! I was beginning to worry something happened with the package. Sorry I didn't include a card. I was so busy thinking of getting the items to you as soon as possible. I wanted to thank you for the youtube videos you pasted on your wish list. They were very enjoyable! Merry Christmas!

No need worrying! I received it 10 minutes ago!! Thank you so much for 'The Animated Man - A Life of Walt Disney'! It's a fat, rich book which I'm going to start reading the moment I post this! Oo-de-lally! Heigh-ho! Lalala!

Here are some (bad) pics of the book and me.

I thought I made a posting in here.... Apologies.

Dear Secret Cindy,

I shipped your package on Tuesday! Sorry it's coming so late, I kept running into problems with the gift, than the packaging, etc. I shipped it Priority Mail, so fingers crossed it makes it to you before the end of this weekend.

Cheers,
JM

I received my Secret Santa's gift today! And even though the message doesn't exactly say who it was, Amazon certainly did so. Thank you so much for The Wrinkle in Time Quintet, DaveWadding! I will certainly start reading them as soon as possible! Thank you so much!!!



Once again, thanks a lot Dave!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

And to my Cindy Lou Who,

Parts 2 and 3 have shipped and should arrive soon Part 1 on the other hand still hasn't, but Amazon is guaranteeing me that it will arrive by the 23rd (and I certainly hope it does).

Merry Christmas,
Your Secret Santa

Stupid Amazon. I didn't figure they would print that on there. There's really a card in the mail for you somewhere.

Oh, don't worry about it. I almost didn't even see the billing name/address. But, I really really love the gift. Like I can't even tell you how happy I am. Madeleine L'Engle is my favorite author and I'm so glad I have the whole Time Quintet. Thanks, again!

Oh my gosh Julian !! I am SO super happy you got it ! I was so worried it had gotten lost or something, as we have had so much snow here, a lot of post has been delayed.

I'm glad you liked it as well ! This makes me almost as happy as receiving my gift !

The card was sent a week later than the gift, so goodness knows when that will arrive ...... !?

Thank you Sky Syndrome for my Secret Santa package!!!!!

I received the book Inside Joss' Dollhouse: From Alpha to Rossum edited by Jane Espenson, which is about Joss Whedon's shortly lived show, []Dollhouse.[/i] I've been wanting it ever since it came out in October, so I'm glad to finally have it in my hands!

I also received a lovely card, bookmark, and Pez Dispenser.

Thanks again, and Merry Christmas!

I had two finals today and a paper yesterday, so receiving surprises in the mail is always fun.

My first surprise (well, it wasn't a surprise, it was expected) was The Films of Rita Hayworth: Collector's Choice, which I'll be reviewing for UD. Given how long I've waited for this set to come out, I was uber-excited when it came in. Yay!

But my second surprise was a genuine surprise. Before I left for my second final today, I checked the mail and noticed I had a package. Lo and behold, inside was...well, I'll let Billy Mack explain...

I received the Love Actually Blu-Ray from...














PETERPANFAN



Thanks for Part One of the gift, Dan! I'm looking forward to Part Two and a Happy Chrismukkah to you too!

albert

Yay, I'm so glad it arrived!

Part Two should hopefully be there soon, as I ordered it before Part One...

Looking forward to the card, Atlantica. If snow didn't melt I would have asked you to send me a snowball in the mail. I would have made my first contact with snow.

So far I've read about Disney's childhood, his efficiency, his time at the Film Ad company with Ub Iwerks, his founding of Laugh-o-grams, the bankruptcy of Laugh-o-grams, Margaret Winkler, the Disney Brothers studio, how Walt was a rather difficult boss, that he disturbed Friz Freleng, the defection of Walt's staff to Charles Mintz and the creation of Mickey Mouse.

It's a fascinating read.
