I don't think my secret santa ever posts on the board, and if she does I have no idea what her handle is, but just in case: Thanks, Sarah (not the one everyone knows) for the 21,000 years of happiness (she understands).

my secret santee should receive their gift(s) closer to christmas day.  my gift is the result of hard labor in which my hands and wrists are screaming in arthritic pain in order to finish my projects on time. 

having said all that, if you dont enjoy this gift, you're dead to me.

PS- i should also mention that there are some purchased items in there as well and so...i'm only half responsible if you hate your gift.

Awesome gifts Laurie! I have the Conan approved 2010 Extraordinary Chickens calender hanging already. The Mr. T talking pocket keychain has been used many times already- I don't think my wife likes that one. That is so going to work with me on Thursday.  And of course Wildwood, NJ which I'll watch sometime this week. Thanks!

I'm glad you like your presents!

By the way, here are some highlights from the Wildwood documentary:

I sent out my stuff today.

ALSO, at the same visit to the post office, I picked up my gift from Dan B! It was a really cool-looking (haven't listened yet) CD collection called Siamese Soul vol. 2! Thanks a lot, Dan B! (And you got your God Jul greeting just right!)

Dear Secret Santee,

i have good news and bad news. 

good news: look forward to your gift being sent out on saturday.

bad news: you'll be missing ONE item.  unfortunately, my hands and wrists can't take the crippling effort needed in order to finish your gift on time.  however...

more good news: ...you'll be receiving 80% of your gift on time.  not to mention, once the missing piece is complete, you won't regret it.  I PROMISE IT WILL BE WORTH THE WAIT.

again, apologies and check your mail daily next week!

you'll know Bonnie sent your gift if it smells like puppies and baby powder. 

whoever got Bonnie, you're very very lucky.

You forgot to mention that rainbows will shoot of of the box and when you reach the end of the rainbow, instead of crappy gold, you'll find Bonnie.

My shipping address is my place of business and the mail will be held starting December 22nd. As a result, I might not be able to post a response until after the holiday.  Thanks!

Had another blow to my santa-ing this afternoon, luckily half of my gift is already en route - the other half may not make it to you in time for Xmas though. I never realized till this year how hard a job Santa has, yeah?

I shipped my Santa's package last Saturday. It had to leave the country (spoiler alert!), so I'm not sure how long it will take to arrive.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.
