Not a lot of clues from the box itself ... an address in a town I know quite well, but I don't know any Dwellars FROM there, even though I find reason to hang out near that particular post office fairly often. Yes, I tried to peel off that address label, but the one underneath is also addressed to me. Drat.

No clues from the envelope ... but what about the card?

Pretty butterflies!!

Could there be a clue in this? What Dwellar wouldn't be as fluid writing an offering of Christmas greetings ...

Very pretty flowers, but, frankly, not Christmas-y, per se. I have a suspicion ...

Awesome cool! A roll of Cowgirl tape! I can put this to good use. Much more fashionable than plain old duct tape for trussing up people who annoy me. It's a pretty large roll too. You know my needs, Cellar Santa!

Now what might this be? A tiny little crate to hide tiny little bodies in? Just what I needed!!

No, that's not it. But ... hey, I know that logo! Most of the stuff these guys make you can't ship through the mail, thanks to a certain Mr. Oswald ...

Wow, Cellar Santa, you did great! That's a sweet find! :D Watch, Compass, and an LED flashlight! Super cool. I love clip watches!

J'Accuse ... richlevy, because of the non-denominational wrapping paper and card, the excellent sense of style, and the whimsy represented by the tape. And I think he gets near that post office from time to time ...

very cool! LOVE the cowgirl tape!!!

Awesome, wolf!

thanks Limey , I was going to taste it first , but I'll take your suggestion

Otherwise known as schmaltz. If you could get a Rabbi to certify it as kosher, it would make a great Hanukkah gift.;)

Hanukkah start next week, right?

The first night of Hanukkah is Friday Dec 11th.

thnaks, that's what I had remembered, but it's not in my calendar.

Is it rude for a gentile to wish you a Happy Hanukkah, even though s/he doesn't share your beliefs and probably even has no idea what they are?

Not that I've ever heard of or believed. I wish my gentile friends Merry Christmas, even though I'm not a Christian.

In my opinion, you are wishing someone happiness in the celebration of their holiday. If I knew someone who enjoyed swimming in lime jello every August 4th, and I ran into them on August 3rd, I'd wish them a Happy Lime Jello Swimming Day because that's what makes them happy.

If someone wishes me a Merry Christmas, I prefer to focus on the fact that they are wishing me happiness rather than the fact that they assumed I was a Christian. They would, after all, have a %76 chance of being correct.

yay It's so fun to watch you open your gifts! Thanks for sharing.
lol
literally

Well then, Happy Hanukkah!

Wow...cool gifts! :D
