The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2021!

I believe Christmas runs until January 6, but if it makes you feel any better, this thread runs until everyone recieves their gifts.

Christmas does run past Dec. 25. Perhaps I should have said Christmas Day. It’s become so commercialized, many don’t recognize, or remember (or know), that there are three significant dates following (for some of the world) that include the Epiphany, the Feast of the Baptism or the Presentation.

Our tree stays up until minimally the first on the list…but, you could technically leave it up until February if you really wanted. So - you’re right - maybe I should re-think being upset until a later date.

Like when the post office can't locate your secret Santa package for example.

Right. Stop making so much sense! ?

A new year’s resolution is in the works…

Has everyone who has received opened?

Who is left waiting to receive?

Well thank you very much Secret Santa, very generous/kind.

A baggie of MacBaren Golden Extra, a tin of C&D a Burley Flake #3 and wow I got a 2102 SG FVF tin...

I noticed the C&D has a sticker on the bottom 021114, hmm I wonder if this is a 2014 tin.

Because on SPC they are not the same color tins and artwork.

The persistent "salty" taste was my biggest covid symptom. Just an FYI ?

I'm pretty sure it's the abuse I'm giving it. Working on trying to get more control over it. I think my beverages make an impact on the issue too. Sometimes I just have to back off the puffing a bit...

Who was the scammer, Storient or a forum member?

Storient was the bad apple...

Got my secret Santa today! It was on a world wide tour(no surprises there anymore!) Someone knew just the poison the "ole weeze" likes. Thank you for the ensuing coma I will enjoy...

Better late than never!

I opened my door after the bell rang to see my frazzled looking mailman shuffling off. He left a package labeled Secret Santa on the stoop. I’ve wasted no time digging in.


Thank you, Santa! GLP Union Square and Windjammer are a couple of favorites. Galloping Gertie and Bijou are new to me and I’m eager to try them. You’re very generous, Santa! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Ours is often up until the end of January. Wife likes looking at it, we aren’t real motivated to wrestle with it.

Better late than never!

Was never in a hurry, faith and trust in your fellow man goes a long way...

Pretty much sums up being a rope smoker there

...but, you could technically leave it up until February if you really wanted.

2nd week of January seems reasonable. Past that? The longer one leaves it up, the greater the odds a certain present will materialize underneath, waiting to be opened. The contents? A straitjacket. ?

 

[mikethompson]

Past that

Well technically, if you leave a tree up past the mid point of June, you are closer to next Christmas than the last. Now you just have the tree up early instead of late.
