Got mine!

Shouldn't it say "You are Secret Santa for..." rather than "Your Secret Santa is..."? Sorry, OCD.... ha...

Thanks for all your work, John! Let the stalking begin...

Here's my shipping scare tale...

I bought the label for the SS package online. I dropped it off along with an Ebay item I sold at the shipping store. I figure I should get a receipt so I have the tracking numbers handy. The guy gives me the receipt with two tracking numbers. The next day I decide to take a peek at the tracking. Huh?! The SS package is already signed for and delivered at a neighboring city rather than out of state! What?! The other Ebay item is on its route just fine. I'm perplexed and start researching, re-enter the number a dozen times, ha. I try to find if the online site sent me a copy of the label or anything, nope, I had just printed it from online, and no record, no email. I start searching through my browser history to see if the label is cached, but I find a URL to the site that must have been the label output and it has some numbers that could be a tracking number. I try it, and sure enough, that's the right one, and package is actually on its way! Phew, I was freaking out thinking I have to redo everything!

How is it even possible I drop the packages off and they give me someone else's tracking number?! Morons! Ha, I'm never trusting them again, will always save copies of labels or make a hard copy of tracking number. I assumed something would have been emailed to me, but that site didn't even have an option to email myself receipt or anything. Shippers beware...

Ho Ho Ho! I think I've spotted the SS sleigh incoming on the radar!

I order a lot from Thanksgiving to Christmas, and I try to keep track of the incoming packages, but I don't recognize this one.

AND... it's insured! My SS ain't messin' around!

"That's it. That's the big one!"

The last couple of years, I received my packages surprisingly early, and left them in their wrap within eyesight, anticipating opening them at Christmas.

It's a different kind of anticipation this year waiting for it to arrive. I was beginning to wonder if I was a verlorn recipient that some SSs are worried about.

Don't give your SS extra stress during the holiday! Review your packages and verify arrivals. As someone who had a shipping scare with errant tracking info, I know how it feels, but I'm relieved my recipient got it.

My package arrived! It's in a cylinder that says "GOT Translite", but SS probably just throwing me off. I'll open in couple days...

I think Santa had to hock his sleigh and get a boat due to the deluge we had out here! That's what I imagine explains the odd delays on the SS radar and the 2-days-late arrival.

Sweet Charlie Brown tree!

It was a special Iron Maiden print from ComicCon 2018, a trough lighting kit, and some frosted bulbs - thanks, can't have enough of those!
