I think we had a McClelland sighting and Esoterica as the first opened box. It was several weeks ago.

I think you are right. I simply failed to mark it on my bingo card at that time.

Speaking of shipping delays … I had a shipping miracle. My box I sent to my recipient arrived a full week ahead of schedule and I did not pay for priority shipping.

On a non pipe-related but seasonal note - a friend of mine has been looking for something for a long time and today I found it. It should make for a great Christmas gift this year and I am so pumped to wrap it up.

Truly a Som Besths moment for me today

Was he looking for his lost shaker of salt?

Very

Still waiting to hear that what’s gonna be on the way to my mark is on its way to me. Som of a besth.

Don’t leave us in suspense….. what was it?

A rather obscure book from a young adults / teen series from the early 2000s.

@mikethompson if I promise to send my package tomorrow can I be promoted to the bottom of the top list? Please.

No.

Well maybe.

Kinda.

This, right here, is the modern incarnation of the story of Hanukkah!
