Thanks, Adrienne and Leaf, I now have addresses for everyone who has signed up so far. I will start to arrange Santa/Santees early next week, and will send notifications of transatlantic ones first.

I am worried about breakage, so I put my quite small parcel into a much larger box, filled out with air pillows. It should look very impressive indeed when delivered, but not so much, opened.

Gift for giving from Secret Santa ordered via mail has arrived. Will be wrapped and posted on Monday. Thus finishes all my Christmas Shopping for this year. Now on to making gifts for church bazaar sale and cookies to be frozen until the big day. Love, Love, Love Christmas, but like to finish everything early so I can enjoy the quiet of Advent.

Whoo -hoo! A parcel was sitting on my doorstep when I got home this afternoon. Thank you Biristolian (?) Secret Santa.
I have got as far as having a look round the shops for ideas, but never fear present will be sent in good time for Christmas.

I have dispatched, though sadly estimated delivery date is between the 30th Dec and 5th Jan - so more of a new year present ...

I shouldn't worry - after all, the original Christmas presents didn't arrive until Epiphany.

Finally got round to sending my package yesterday. The man in the PO and I decided it could count as a letter & so was cheaper to send. Let's hope everyone else agrees so that the Sendee doesn't have to pay extra postage!!! ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

I finally got going on the Christmas front yesterday, wrapped some presents and staggered off to the Post Office with them this morning. My Secret Santa present was among them, and it is now on its way. Assuming the PO is not using snails as transport this year, it should arrive with my santee shortly.
