My gift was shipped to the US on Monday! So all that's left is a wish that customs doesn't confiscate it and the package arrives safely. This is what I wish for all of us who are part of the Secret Santa event!

I'm still waiting to hear if my Santee received the first bit before I send anything else.

It arrived! :D Thank you very much for the postcard, @MadHatter! Someone got it from the mail box and didn't bother to tell me. And here I was, thinking that the postal service had lost it somewhere.

They folded it, though.

Finally got my Santee’s package together this weekend and it is being mailed out today. I apologize to my Santee if it arrives late, as I started too late. Life is just busy right now, but that’s really no excuse, I just didn’t attend to it like I should have. Anyway, Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year!!

Got your card, MadHatter! Happy holidays to you, and maybe take it easy on the coffee brandy if you decide to go for a joyride in the snow! ;)

Came home from work today to a package of various compounds and elements for my collection. Thank you very much, j_sum1!

I assume it was you who also sent me the mug. Very much appreciated, and I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

Canadian postal workers are now back to work, and mail is starting to trickle through. (Nothing from SS yet, but my kids' presents have started to arrive.)

Unfortunately, it looks like Santa is going to be late this year, my package has been sitting in the US at the International Exchange Post since December 14. But there is also the possibility that the brokered tracking is not complete and only the final information that the package has been delivered will appear. And I haven't received my gift from Santa yet either, so I'm hoping for the better possibility that Santa will just be late and fulfill his mission!;)

I happened to check the international mail page and saw that the gift seems to have arrived safely, which is a relief.
Now, all that's left is to patiently wait for the gift to arrive at my place.

Finally I overcomed my procrastination and sent my gift. But my santee live pretty close, so it shouldn't take too long for package to be delivered.

Hi all.
I just returned from a family holiday. Great to see that stuff is arriving.

Sir Gawain, I honestly cannot remember what I put together for you -- except for the discovery that I only had a couple of small pieces of tellurium when I thought I had more than 100 grams. You got what I had, and now I think I need to visit onyxmet. Anyway, good to hear that the package arrived safely.

Madhatter's card as usual was a good laugh. Thanks so much.

There have been a few glitches this year which will mean some packages will arrive late. I am just about to send off some u2us to those involved. Really sorry this happened. I try to avoid this kind of thing.

J.

:( Mine will be sent in early January. I discovered, amongst other things, that my card is not accepted by Ebay and that our postal service has too many rules ("handle with care" is apparently not one of them).

Last evening I picked up a gift from my generous Santa, thanks so much Bedlasky! It was in the Z-box until midnight on December 25, I didn't find out until 2am on December 26, so I wrote to Santa and he arranged an extension to pick it up until midnight the next day. My Santa lives in the same city as me and there are probably only two or three of us from our country on the Forum in total. If j sum1 was assigning partners by lot, that's an interesting result;)!

Woohoo. Package arrived today with a beautiful piece of crystalling bismuth. I haven't got a nice piece for the element collection (until now). All my attempts to make some crystals have proved to be decidedly "meh".
Thanks Santa.

Thank you Santa! I picked up my package this morning and I must say that I am shocked at how much Santa sent to me. This has honestly made my holiday.
