I'm still debating whether or not to join in this year. I am horrified to find that you didn't get a present after all the work you had put in. Is your would-be sender signing up again? Should they come with a warning?

My Santa had a lot of family problems at the time and then the package got lost in the post. ![[Waterworks]](graemlins/bawling.gif)

All Santas have now been informed of their Santees - RUUDY _ PLEASE EITHER PM ME OR EMPTY YOUR MAILBOX!!!
If you haven't received a name and address, please pm me.
Phew! I can now sit back and wait to see who's received their gifts! Please post to say your gift has been sent, and please post when you receive a gift so I can keep track.

Thanks for the Santee's detail, St.G. I have already decided where to shop, on the basis of info gleaned from the Ship.

My not-so-beautifully wrapped gift is on its way across the pond - apologies in advance to my Santee for the poor presentation, but I had to stuff everything in the package before my slightly senile elderkitty tried to eat it/sleep on it/drag it under the couch.

EXCITEMENT in the Image household.
A package was in the mail this morning with a smiling picture of Santa on the front, marked Secret. I had Mr Image peek to make sure it was double wrapped before opening the mailing paper. It now sits on my china cabinet waiting for the morning of the 25th. Oh what can it be?
