End of yesterday Secret Santa gift: opened and enjoyed Sansepolcro in an estate 2019 Peterson POTY that I've had on the shelf for a time and "gifted" it to myself to pair 2 "firsts" together.

Yes, it’s common courtesy to post a photo of your gift (required when I was Santa)

Unfortunately things have really slipped since then

Yeah, well, that’s what happens when you outsource the job to foreign countries.

The generosity of the Secret Santas is beautiful to behold, as well as some of your gift packages being absolutely mind-blowing. Connecting with, and getting to know some fellow pipe smokers ... also a nice benefit. Oh, and the occasional humor ... also good. Santa Mike, thank you for all the work and, of course, the occasional humor. I am grateful to have participated.

Good news.
My 2nd of 3 pkgs has infiltrated my recipients foreign country and is beyond the initial landing point, so it should be delivered soon!

In case anyone is wondering, Red Dwarf is one of the best sci-fi series ever. British humor.

They do the Stillwells with DTT

Much better than DDT which is what China would use if they made them...

Acceptance is the first milepost on the road to recovery.
I'm so proud of you, SkyChirp.

Yes, acceptance is one of the stages of grieving…. I have reached the acceptance phase. (Honestly I don’t need a thing!)
I know my SS match and we have been in contact (maybe this violated the SS rules, but all my performance reviews state I need constant supervision) There were some logistical issues. The spirit of the game is fulfilled in the spirit of giving. I think SS brought a little joy stress to everyone’s lives.

At least you have a porch. I’m still standing on the road by the letter box. Only the neighbour’s sheep keeping me company

I made it until the day after Christmas to open. I couldn’t take it anymore but I feel like I fared well on my dare to wait. Pictures to follow. Santa crushed it. Im all smiles.
