I actually just got an update on my package. It is being 'processed for future processing' whatever that means. I was sent this picture though:

With supply chain issues this year, everyone is feeling the squeeze, even Santa
Supposedly my victim has received their package... at least according to the tracking. ?
My box was dropped off at the PO yesterday and won't head out until tomorrow, but because of the proximity to the target, it should arrive on Tuesday.
I'm pretty overwhelmed by Santa's generosity, he definitely did his homework.
And here I thought I was naughty this year!
'14 Wessex Campaign Dark Flake and a tin (on of my favorite projects, the real unicorn) of RO Acadian Gold.
But wait, there's more! A hefty amount of McClelland's 2015. What a bonus!
I have a hard time accepting such generous gifts, to say I appreciate it is an understatement.

Ho Ho Ho! Came home after an arduous week to a package on the porch. I couldn’t resist. Santa did a great job. Going to enjoy some Night Train later tonight if this calm weather remains. Thanks, Santa!
I was a bit late this year sending off my package but got it out today and sent it Express Post so it makes it with time to spare to my giftee. I received the package from my Santa on Friday but haven't opened it yet - are we standing on ceremony or should I just giv'er and open it now?
No rules, but I’ll ridicule you either way!
My package from Santa arrived today! Santa contacted me via PM and said he would hand deliver it today. I responded that I wouldn't be home until around nightfall, as I had plans to help my (newlyweds) daughter and son-in-law cut up a few trees that blew over in the windstorm we had the other night. They live on a 5 acre wooded lot, and don't own a chainsaw..... guess what the son in law is getting for Christmas! ?......... Anyways.....
I wish I had postponed the tree cutting to meet with my Secret Santa!!! When I got home I found a LARGE package waiting for me!!
The package had some HEFT to it!............... I couldn't resist opening it. WOW! Inside were 10 items! Each one was individually wrapped, and personalized with my moniker!! Humbled doesn't even describe my feelings.......... The care and generosity within this package brought a tear to my eye!... I LOVE how each item is labelled, Santa spent some time on this!
I'll have to admit, my hands were trembling as I unwrapped each item...........
The Generosity here is just amazing!..........
WOW, just WOW!! ????!!!!
I'm at a loss for words.
Most of these I've never tried-
-The 2020 Cringle flake, I smoked one tin that my SS last year sent me, and I've craved it every since.
- The 2021 Cringle I snoozed on this year and missed out.
-The FVF is from 2014!!!
-The Watch City blends I've never tried!
- The 2020 and 2021 Carolina Red flake w/perique, again, I've never tried, and missed out on ordering.
- The Jupiter slices and From Beyond I've not heard of but sound incredibly DELISH!!
- The Solani 633 and Balkan Sobranie I have smoked, and love them, but haven't had them in years because they are always sold out!
Andrew (Pipenwheels) - You Sir, are a true Saint! Your generosity and creativity are beyond reproach! I'm Blown away by this, and feel like a kid again. Like that feeling you get when your 6 years old and opening presents on Christmas morn....
I regret not being home today, I wished I could meet you and thank you in person.
I know this post is long, but I just can't get over the generosity here! You made my day!
God Bless You!

The days are counting down!
My choices are made, Secret Santa will be in the post tomorrow!

Unreal. My recipient is going to be disappointed with his Ziploc of Captain Black Mango Grapefruit and Mikes Dottle Surprise
Holiday Greetings, all! I missed this thread until just now, as I haven't been around the forums much lately, and am a newer member too. But I love Secret Santa exchanges, so I was wondering if there's anyone else in the US who would like to do an exchange via PM? If so, post a reply to this, and PM me as well, and I'll reply. I like the idea of waiting until Christmas day to open the gifts. I'll make sure to look for the 2022 thread next year around Halloween time!
