BTW, before 2012 marches on and I forget.

Thank you Clodfobble!

Great job with the annual Cellar cat herding.

But AFAIK, Aliantha is the only one whose present hasn't arrived yet, and hers was shipped on the late side. Word is, it should be there soon. Everyone else's got there by now, right?

PM me your address Ali (I may already have it, but just to be sure).
I will set my calendar alert to make sure you get something in December 2012.

Not knocking your Secret Santa, as I don't know their circumstances.
Just reflecting the fact you've had problems twice now.

I know one year I never knew if my gift made it. Maybe they just didn't like it enough to say anything.

On a related note, I had to give someone one of their Christmas presents New Years Eve because it didn't arrive here in time.

this makes me ~~sad~~ embarrassed.

I confess, I am Aliantha's Slacker Santa.

There is a box with goodies headed your way, it is past due at this point, though I did mail it a couple days after the recommended deadline for delivery by Christmas. Aliantha, I'm sorry.

Aliantha · 01-02-2012, 05:10 PM

don't worry about it V.

It's nice to spread the presents around anyway. No good having them all in one go, and I know postage can be a problem at Christmas, specially to and from Aus. Not sure why, but it just seems to get so jammed up if you don't have your stuff in the post a month before the big day.

Anyway, I'm not upset with you Big. It'll get here when it arrives.

On the flip side, I feel like I was a bit stingy with Zippy with just the two CD's. I hope he did like them. They were aussie style christmas carols which I thought he might enjoy for a giggle and something different while he was laid up and all.

Ahhh....I'm sorry the card came so late! I made sure I send the international destination cards first before I send the continental ones. The ones in England made it before Christmas.

Oh well.....I'm glad you don't mind snorting candy canes.

DucksNuts · 01-03-2012, 04:53 AM

Bah, fret not Lola. All my aussie intended Xmas cards are still sitting on my bedside table...they are addressed and ready to go...I just didnt make it to pick up my annual pics of the kids before the 22nd and then I couldnt be arsed

DanaC · 01-03-2012, 05:59 AM

I loved my Yeeehah! Santa card :P

Aliantha · 01-03-2012, 06:09 AM

I got my card from Lola today. I especially loved the little origami star and the snowflake - which max tried to eat! Thank you Lola. You are so lovely. xxx

Lola Bunny · 01-03-2012, 10:25 PM

Dana:

Ali: But the snowflake has glitter on it. I'm actually picturing Max trying to take a bite out of the snowflake. Making me laugh.

Aliantha · 01-04-2012, 01:46 AM

It made me laugh too I can tell you. lol

Aliantha · 01-04-2012, 01:47 AM

oh oh oh! I've just figured out why he thought he could eat it. I called it a snowflake, and we made 'snowflake' gingerbread! That'd be it.

classicman · 01-06-2012, 02:59 PM

This isn't really a SS gift, but it is from a dwellar who deserves a TON of credit and admiration for doing such a wonderfully nice thing for my son.
First pic - date sent... Yes that is 24/11/11. It just arrived today.
