As we start to emerge from our Turkey comas, I'd like to thank everyone who has participated this year. I'd just like to update on my list of members who haven't sent or haven't received yet. Please no more threatening emails or PMs - there's something screwy with my excel sheet I use.

So you all know the drill: if your name is here and it shouldn't, please post in the thread. If you've received a package from your Secret Santa, please post so that we can all see whatchagot, as well as calm the nerves of the Santa that sent it to you.

I posted when I sent it, and an update when it appeared there was a shipping glitch (turned out there wasn't - l looked at the wrong tracking, lol) and my match posted he received it and is not on the "haven't received" list so I'm not sure how I'd be listed with either possible criteria? No worries, and always happy to participate!

The excel spreadsheet I was using wasn't autosaving even when it said it was.

My bad.

I still haven't received my 2nd package.
Or my bottle opener.
Or my match for 2025.
!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone gets a bottle opener now, it will be the most Som Besths thing to happen. Maybe ever.

Still waiting over here. But I suspect its drowning in a post office somewhere.

This photo of Lunabelle was taken while smoking 3 Oaks Syrian in an Abdulla Dribaccy Shark Skin chubby billiard. She's not a Latakia fan -- not even Syrian.

OK... meant this for Dogs & Pipes. But it'll do OK right here, as far as I'm concerned. Apologies....

 

[Ahi Ka]

Never apologise for a dog picture, nor for smoking Latakia

Yes, yours is a special case.

Attn @mikethompson @Ahi Ka my Santa package has been rummaged by the rotten c@#ts at customs. They sent the package on with the Christmas card and a filthy letter sans the contents of course. Thanks for trying guys, really appreciate the effort and for next time.

Will sort you out bro…also, you realise this technically means secret Santa will carry on indefinitely now.

If it makes you feel better, it was a box full of rougeroux

Som Besths may live forever at this rate

 

[Michigan_Bill]

Heartbreaking

Wow! That is awful. I'm sorry that they have taken it from you, but at least you get a letter with some nice letterhead.

Fixed it for you:

To be fair, Som Besths is eternal anyway, but still sucks you can't get anything.

I hope you play next year and I can match you up with another Australian. Would that make sense?

Do they confiscate pipes as well?

I can’t speak for Paul, but as a kiwi I’d far rather be matched with someone in USA and run the risk of not having something get through customs than with someone from my own country.

Pipes etc come through fine.

I didn’t join up to get something, I joined to be part of the fun and to give something. Life got in the way this time with me moving and retiring through December so I wasn’t here to participate but the fun is being part of this pipe smoking community, so mission accomplished. I will definitely play next year and let’s roll the dice.
