He sent Smarties once in the past! He's covered all the bases!

Maybe..... BUT NOT THIS TIME!!!!!

@SBC I'm glad the package finally made it to you. Best of luck in your recovery.

@Andre_T there were also no All Dressed Chips. I have failed.

I wasn't going to say that but... yes... hang your head in shame you hoser.

@SBC sorry to hear about your condition. We will be sure to keep you in our prayers.
BTW for other Americans, Canadian Smarties are not to be confused with American ones. The Canadian Smarties are similar to M&M's. (But not the same. )

MUST FIGHT URGE TO OPEN BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

Not to brag, but I grew that tobacco in Golden Compass (except for the semois, that was jitterbugdude’s thing). That’s truly a rare one. I’m glad you like it all. And, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

Thanks again, and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas as well! I'm excited to try the Golden Compass for sure, and the tamper is beautiful! You da man!

Light blizzard! Actually in a recliner in the basement relaxing with the pups and ….. Hallmark Channel for the wife who will be down soon. Peterson 2021 Christmas Sherlock Lestrade with C&D Ghosts of Christmas Future. Contemplating Xmas menus with some Irish Breakfast tea.

Speaking of hilarity, how about the music city bowl this year? Little deja vu action??

A few weeks ago, I informed @mikethompson that I'd be backing out of Secret Santa this year, as I'd learned that I have Hodgkin's lymphoma and was beginning chemotherapy.

I suppose that I could still have participated, but priorities shifted and my heart wasn't in it anymore (as maybe you can understand).

Well, Mike wasn't about to leave me out. He already had my address (from a previous kindness), and shipped out to my children some Canadian snacks (knowing that I'd grown up in Canada, but no longer had access to these goodies).

In corresponding about this, he said that if he could put a smile on my kids' faces during this difficult time, it was worth it to him.

Thanks, Mike. Now I have a picture to post this year, too.

Just checked USPS Tracking a little while ago and the Secret Santa box I sent on Monday was delivered at the Parcel Locker on December 15, 2022, at 8:47 am. Always a relief when stuff you sent gets delivered.

@SBC thoughts and prayers to you and your family. The gift from Mike shows how awesome our community is!

@B.Fee Whooooooooooooooo!
