OH JESUS CHRIST SHIT! I never sent my gift to Adam last year.

I don't think I should participate this year, I'm really bad at sending things.

and Adam, I will send you a gift! I know I've said it before. but I will try to remember. I'm going to try to remember to send my mom a gift too. :(

Haha, it's ok. You don't have to.

I got the email too but I've been busy recently with no web access, it'd be hard for me to be the admin for it again but I'll participate if one of ya takes it on.

And don't forget to include your mailing address so you can receive your gifts! I placed the privacy settings so only the person who draws your name can see your contact info!

MC Moot

I think I'm maybe going to Chinatown for dim sum tommorow...so who knows,someone just may mistake my gift as coming from Peachy!...;)

:( sorry to hear that

bless you :o
I'll be ok (all scientific evidence currently points to that, plus I'm crossing my fingers as i say it), it's just Christmas is currently daunting enough without the burden of the BBMB's needs. ;)

hahahahaha. this is so funny because I used to work with this girl who told me about a patient of hers who started singing this song to her. hahahahaha. good one! ;-) you men with your nurse fantasies...

I'm heading to the holiday market in Boston this weekend...hopefully will be hooking up my Secret Santa pick with some sweet swag...

Slight fail....did mine through Amazon, got e-mail back to say one thing was out of stock...so only one thing on way, will have to try again in a while for the other.

MC Moot
12-12-2011, 09:02 AM
Slight fail....In a moment,of which can only be best described as substance related misadventure,I ate some of my recipients gifts...the shame,the humility...I will replace and ship on Wed...stop looking at me that way...it's not like it was already wrapped!

HEIRESS
12-12-2011, 12:28 PM
crap I should have done this!

Maybe next year when I am not unemployed...

Would wrapping paper have stopped you d'you think??! I'm annoyed mine went tits-up really, was pretty happy with what had sent but the one bit on it's own isn't so great....although it is cool and it's not about loads of stuff I guess.

NicRN77
12-12-2011, 05:55 PM
damn, you all are so on the ball. I'm hoping to get the rest of my gift together this week and pop it in the mail. hoping it makes it there by Christmas...

Adam
12-14-2011, 06:45 AM
I feel I am kinda cheating with mine.

Also just checked the posting dates for international and it was recommended to go by 12/12/11 which was Monday. Maybe I can get it sent today.

MC Moot

Bought but not yet posted, so it will be late :-( sorry

Should be there in time for Chinese New Year though...

Adam
12-19-2011, 03:42 AM
I'VE RECEIVED MINE!!!

(yes the caps and exclamation marks are necessary)

The person wants to remain anonymous but I feel so lucky to get what I've got - I'm asking the question to the giver if I can post pictures (although I won't get time for a few days) because I truly win the best secret santa this year.

And now I feel real cheap on what I've got for my giftee :( (but keep in mind I'm poor with no job and I've just moved to one of the most expensive cities in the world - it's the thought right?)

gbsuey
12-19-2011, 05:09 AM
It is the thought, i'm skint as f*ck this year and have had no time to go actual real-life shopping so mine is a bit of an easy option/not as great as it could be. But yeah, it's the thought. I like to do good gifts but not always easy. Eh?

abbott
12-19-2011, 09:13 AM
I feel like I cheated because I made my present .. you can say it is a handmade craft.. and then garbed some old shit out of my collection.

Merry Christmas Adam, glad you like it. I just don't want you talking about my real name or address is all.. I did not want to mail it out without my return address so now you know where I live.

All in all the postage was the most expensive part. Ava helped with the painting and Lea picked out a peacock feather so it was a family deal.

Oh yea it is the thought ... right?

Adam
12-20-2011, 11:07 AM
Thank you abbott & family!!!

I'll post pics soon!

Moot is a great secret Santa to have.

Unlike me. I am rubbish.

I still have not mailed mine BUT that is partly because mr.p is going to the US next week and I reckoned it would be better to mail it from within the US than from China. So as I said earlier in the thread, it should arrive just in time for Chinese New Year. Which is pretty fitting really.

The music is great, Moot. Always inspiring. I'm enjoying it all. Thanks.
