Not too late!  I haven't drawn names yet for the SS or OE either, if you still want to get in on either of those :).

I am only going to do the card swap this year.  

[Bopeep]

Alright Santas, the lists are out.

 

Ready, Set, Shop!

 

Please let me know ASAP if you didn't get a list that you should have gotten, or if you got a list you shouldn't have .

Again this year I took a step back. For many reasons but I so enjoy seeing what everyone receives from their Santa 

[Bopeep]

First tracking # is in!

 

This would be a good time to remind you - PLEASE post here when you receive your package, even if you are not opening until Christmas. It keeps my spreadsheet happy :).

I’m just waiting on a few things I’ve ordered. Excited to get this sent out.

I do believe I got my SS gift the box is under the tree. I am waiting my next pay day to take care of my SS.

Santa told me that if you want to go ahead and open the box, everything inside is wrapped :).

My shopping for my SS is well under way. Should be able to wrap things up (literally and figuratively) by the end of the weekend. Yay!

My oe is done and will be shipped soon. I really wanted to find one more specific thing for my ss but I couldn’t find it today. Will check another close by store and hopefully that will be shipped out soon too.

OE is done and shipped. My SS will be a little different this year. I am going to make it work the bet way I can. This was the first year in 20 years I did not physically go out for BF shopping . I was changing my daughters tire on the side of the highway on Monday and a car hit her car and then her car hit me and through me into the barrier. I am so thankful to be alive. Cant walk to well at the moment and in a good bit of pain but God kept me so I am so thankful. A lot of people have not survived something like this so I feel blessed. I did some shopping online (not all that fun ) and you cant get all the doorbusters on line. So I am going to have to trust shipping a lot this year. So, my SS has to wait for the items to be delivered to me and I will get them packed up and shipped back out. My DW is going to pick up a few things locally for me too, but I plan on having everything shipped by end of week as long as everything showing up on time.

Oh my word how awful!!!! So thankful that you are still with us! Praying you begin to recover soon!

Thank God it wasn’t worse! Praying for you to heal quickly. 
if there’s anything I can do to help with SS or anything else, let me know know.

Oh my goodness! I hope you’re feeling better and that everything is being taken care of as far as your daughter’s car. People just need to pay attention when driving. So many senseless accidents happen because they don’t pay attention.

So thankful you're ok everything considered. That's my biggest fear just generally stopping on a highway. I don't know if it's a Florida thing or nationwide but we have a "Move Over" law and nobody follows it (and it makes my blood boil to see). All those unnecessary ppl clogging the left lane make it impossible sometimes even when you try to abide.

I received my OE Package and love everything! The ornaments are so cute and the starbursts are a much appreciated sweet treat. There was no name attached so I'm not sure who sent it but thank you so much!

Glad you weren't hurt worse. That was always my fear when my husband was a tow truck driver. People just don't pay enough attention.
