oooh. Am so excited!!! :flower:

My secret santa present just arrived and I haven't opened it. Have squeezed it and shook it, and have decided it is a book. I LOVE books and can't wait to open it. But I WILL wait - because I am just loving the whole thing about having a special present under the tree.

*giggles like a lil school girl*

I feel just like the kids now.... Bring on Christmas Day!! :cheers:


Thankyou so much to my Secret Santa and to Sish for setting up the exchange. I think it is a truly thoughtful thing, and I am sure I am not the only person who receives joy from the concept.

:wink: :mrgreen:

Mine has just arrived too - ooooh so exciting. I've got to save mine to open with J's pressies - one rule for everyone LOL... not decided yet whether to open on the 22nd or wait til the 25th. It's not just my decision though. Maybe do a bit of both - too many pressies on one day for J is totally overwhelming anyway.

Thank you thank you thank you to my Ish Santa.... :toothy7:

I only posted mine yesterday too :oops: - but I reckon it will still get there... the fantastic posties and folk at the sorting offices really do pull out all the stops to try and get everything delivered. I ummmm... forgot to put something in my envelope though so it may not make perfect sense :lol (just to clarify... it was just ONE thing that I forgot to put in - I didn't send an empty envelope LOL)

got mine today, thankyou ish santa, the card is beautiful. I had to get my sister to open so that if it wasn't wrapped i coul leave it to open christmas day!

Its been resealed, but i was allowed to open the card. I'm still deciding whether to keep it forever, or pass it on...

Mine was posted Wednesday, so hopefully it'll be there anyday...

Eeek, its all so exciting!!
