ohhh.. good point... I am thinking though that the lightsiders might have won due to post office delays and purposely delaying shipping!

Wait...we still don't know who had Mike? (mrblanche) or maybe I'm the only one that doesn't know. And what about Rosemary (butzie) and all her hints, where on earth did she end up sending that to, LOL?

We could say the late presents are really early for next year. That way we could still consider ourselves darksiders.

WOOOOOOT I came home to not 1 but 2 packages at the door! I'm soooo happy! I have had such a horrible night and this made it sooooo much better! I am opening now! I will post pictures in a few!

 

[capt_jordi]

my SS was calico2222! And boy am I spoiled! and OMG these chocolates are to die for!!!

so I had a horrible day today so I was soooo happy to come home and see 2 boxes on my porch!
On a crappy note: my camera is 2 hours away... oops. So these are from my cell!

The 2 boxes ready to open!

Okay at first I thought it was a fleece blanket but then I felt it and OMG! And this could not come at a better time! I've turned the heat down to save money so I was very very happy to get another blankie!

Everything out of the boxes

and the reason we cant have ribbon in the house...

Coolest little tool kit ever! This is awesome! I'm so glad you sent this! It will totally come in handy!

Very cool vintage coffee tin!

Filled with coffee! They have SoCo and Jack Daniels coffee?!

Everything out.
I got:
A very adorable calendar
Gingerbread cookies
a solid chocolate penguin - whom is missing his head at the moment...
2 amazing candles
an awesome blankie
mint chocolates

Chocolate Hazelnut Pirouettes
A cat tunnel
2 very soft fuzzy balls
2 crinkle balls
2 spiders (whom I doubt will have all of their legs in the morning...)
a raccoon toy - he had a haircut already to remove the string! LOL!
Honeysuckle Potpourri
Tool kit
bath set that smells amazing!
kitty treats

Thank you so much Callico2222! I love everything!

 

[calico2222]

I'm SO glad you got it and liked everything. Yeah, I actually had to go back and get another blanket for myself...too cozy! I'm glad you don't think the little tool set is weird. I thought it was weird when DH bought one for me but I have used it so much it's not funny...and it's MINE! So, I figured with moving into Gary's house you will need something that ISN'T his...(men have a possessive thing about tools). Anyway, I'm glad you and the kitties like everything and I hope you had a Merry Christmas. Sorry it couldn't get there sooner.

Honestly it could not have come at a better time! I had a horrible day so I was sooo happy to get it! Plus Christmas was so busy for me I dont know when I would have been able to open it!
And the chocolate has taken my mind off the fact I slammed my finger in a door tonight and its nice and swollen lol!
And yeah what is it with guys and being possessive over tools? I realized the other night that I dont even have a screwdriver in the house! LOL! But now I do!
Oh and Google has taken over the box... so much for taking it to the trash tonight... I will post some pics of the kitties playing in the morning!

 

[calico2222]

Oh hon, I hope your finger is ok. I hate doing things like that (and I do them constantly...

).

Yeah, I actually asked DH for a tool kit last year...he got me something with jumper cables, fuses and electrical tape. I said "where is the screwdriver and hammer"? To me, a tool kit is basic. Anyway, he got me a basic tool kit...and everything is missing. Men steal tools. This little kit, I can hide somewhere and he will never know where to go looking!

Definitely want to see the pics of the kitties playing and just let Google have the box for a little bit...Little one laid in it for a few days before it was packed up so apparently it's long distance bonding time...

Jan, there is no possible way your SS didn't like their gift.

I've never been on the receiving end of your gifts but seeing what you've sent in the past and how much you put into your gifts, there is no way they could possibly be disappointed.

Maybe something has come up and they haven't had a chance to log on and share.

Oh that is soo not possible! You have some really cool things!!! Maybe they were so stunned with the coolness that they haven't posted yet?! Have they been on since Christmas?

Of course they liked your gifts! Something has probably come up that they haven't been able to post.

Renovia... I am your 2009 SS from the Dark Side.

Thought the "fluffybutts" might have been a clue or the polished rocks.

I have heard work is crazy for you, so post when you can.
