That robot is working overtime - it is PMSS Season after all

I bribed it with the promise of a robette, whom I described as a real bombshell.

The happy robot couple just left. The package passed an X ray exam, probes revealed no ricin.

I’ve opened the box, revealing a beautifully wrapped package

Yes, it’s sideways. iPhones do that at the most inconvenient times.
Time to see what’s inside.

Wow! Thank you Secret Santa! This is a very thoughtful choice. Two tins of one of my all time favorite blends and a classic that I haven’t yet tried, as well as a pouch of pipe cleaners.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness, as well as the gift. Happy Holidays and a joyous, healthy, and abundant New Year to you and yours.

I gotta go call off the fire trucks!

It could also be a UPS store thing, because they are franchises independently owned and operated….

In what I think is a new development, I had to vouch my priority mail package didn't contain tobacco at the USPS kiosk. I don't recall that being in the list before.

Clearly the muckymucks at the USPS have decided the sheer volume of gifts being exchanged by Secret Santa this year is stretching them beyond capacity.

Ummm, it went out on December 4th and landed on the 6th? Sorry, let me know if I need to file a claim with USPS.

Just saw it! My wife had grabbed it and threw it under the Christmas tree with other packages. She thought it was just another package.

It's an awesome haul!!!

My kid might need to be patient - the parcel appears to be stuck at the border!
Hope it frees up soon….

I wonder what other interest-groups also claim loose leaf tea, herbs, or incense, when mailing.
They may ruin it for us.

My Secret Santa gift is out for delivery—supposedly between 11:30 am and 3:30 pm—we shall see! That was faster than I expected, but it really was about an hour away by car.

I was just reminded by UPS that they don’t ship tobacco and then after waiting in line for a while at the post office I got to the front of the line just in time for them to announce that their “system” went down. So- I gave up a went to get some take out Pho.
My SS gift will be going out tomorrow morning.

I do like a good Pho!!

If you want to keep the pounds off this Christmas season, skip the egg nog, figgy Pudding, and roast beast! Follow the John Daly diet!!
