Hello all!

Technical question: Come Christmas, are we doing our gift reveals in this thread, or will there be a separate one?

In the past, it's been done both ways...even simultaneously.  Personally, I prefer a reveal thread so it doesn't get clouded with this one.

Monitoring the tracking number & USPS tried to deliver my Secret Santa package to its recipient, but nobody was home. I hope all’s well on that end & that it either makes it on the second attempt or gets picked up at the post office. 🥺

Did you send it with signature required? 

[BabaLament]

@Wombat It was picked up at the post office earlier today.

I personally prefer keeping everything in one thread.  Just from my own efforts to go back in time and see previous gift exchange threads, the ones where people were showing off gifts in the same thread were more fun than also having to find a separate "reveal" thread.  

But I don't know how many people go back and read old threads like that....

you know, that makes a lot of sense.

We usually link the reveal thread so if you can find this one you have found the other one.

Thank you to @Ares for the gifts!  I have them under the tree and am already excited to see what I done got!

So I received a 2nd present today from the same “Secret Santa”.  There is a real name on the postal packages but only “from your CGC Secret Santa” on the gifts.

i hope there is something in the packages to point me in the right direction of the person on the boards. 

I have them on my desk, with a toddler, putting them under the tree isn’t feasible.

Ah so no boardie name. I'm sure someone will speak up, since they're wrapped.

Maybe the boardie name will appear when you unwrap as well!

If you bought it from @jimjum12 it is probably a hell of a gift.

Got my box shipped.

Thank you @jlouque  . Gift received!

Funny story. Just had a package show up at the front door. It looks really similar to the gift exchange package I sent out yesterday. My wife does all my packing slips because she ships stuff for her home business. She swapped the return address with the mailing address. She shipped it to...............our house.

This has got to be the best post about a mix up yet.  Tell her thanks for the chuckle.

I need an official ruling. Do I get to keep the gift?
