My Tiny Tim hasn't said anything about arriving yet either :/

Then again, he hasn't posted anyting for quite some time..

Like I said, according to my tracking number, my package arrived there...but my Tiny Tim hasn't posted in here for quite a while now either. Hopefully they got the package safely.

Exatly the same situation here :lol

I hope they will arrive before the 21st though, else I won't get them until early 2010 :(
Today is the 22nd, and I came home yesterday. I didn't recieve my package in time ;_;

When i get back in January it will be waiting for me in my apartment, though :D

So, what happens now? Would it be OK if my SS still reveals himself/herself to me and explains what's in the package so I could give some feedback and appreciation, or do I wait until I return home? And also it would be great if my SS had a tracking number on the package, since I could tell if it has arrived and ask the post office to hold it for me until I return.
 
Mine still hasn't been returned to the drop off post office for me to collect it. Going on Holiday tommorow so I'll have to wait till after Xmas for my Tiny Timness moment. :|
 
From what my TT has posted they won't be able to confirm if anything's arrived for a while.

But good news here! I only got a parcel straight from Canada! I've peeked in the padded envelope and nothing's wrapped so it's going straight under the tree. Thanks in advance secret santa!

Haven't gotten anything but so it goes...

Maybe you were too drunk to get the notice of delivery, and so it's been sitting at the post office for the past few days :p Maybe you should go pick it up some time!

The home made brownies are probably rock-hard by now :(
 
I forgot mine at college this year, so I'll have to post what I got when I go back (by Monday, but still). But this'll all be very, very exciting.
 
Shame on me.

My secret santa arrived yesterday. It was my present. The one I sent.
I made a mistake in the order apparently, and it didn't go through.

I will send it on the 26th again, it won't get to its destination before Christmas, obviously, but think it Spanish wise (they only open their presents on the 6th of January, or so I am told).

I'm not really sure whether to say who the user that's supposed to receive this is, or not (it is "secret" santa, after all =\)

...

In other news, I didn't receive my gift yet. Karma and all..
 
Nothing here for christmas. Now I'm hoping it gets here before the new year.

Didn't receive anything today. Hope my gifts are enjoyed when my TT opens them tomorrow.

Ditto.
 
so when are the TT opening their gifts?

Kind of interested in seeing what mine thinks of his. If he doesn't like it I'll blame my GF for helping me pick it out.

I'll probably make the gift opening thread at 12am Brazilian Time (GMT -3, Eastern US is -5). I thought it was a neutral time zone for this since we are international and I didn't want Europe/Asia Gaf to have to wait all day to open their presents. The upside is that U.S. Gaf gets to open their presents early and should be home from work if they had to work.

What do you guys think? Is that fair?

Sounds good to me.

Aren't there multiple time zones in Brazil?
 
I was gonna do it tomorrow morning, but this works :) I can't believe I lasted this long. It has been under my desk, in a bag that you can easily peak through for almost 3 weeks now!
 
sad email said:
I am writing in regards to your order for the **********. It was on an unusually long backorder and will not be arriving before the 25th. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Please let me know if you will be needing to cancel the order, if you would like to keep it open or if you have any other questions.

:( Sorry, Tiny Tim. I hope you like my gift when it gets there.

However, according to the email after, it shipped today.

I'll start!

Merry Christmas GAF! Thank you, Secret Santa #7!

I arrived at the post office on Christmas Eve and they gave me my package and it was huge and heavy! I could only guess as to what was in it.

When opening time came, my girlfriend and I gathered around and opened the package. Inside was a veritable cornucopia of Christmas surprises. We took turns unwrapping the individual packages and marveled at the different little Christmas decorations and gizmos that were found inside.

My SS also enclosed American lollies/candy/sweets, a bottle of Coke shaped like a Christmas ornament, an NFL hat (could someone tell me which team it's for?), a Halo novel, a pill container full of interesting coins (:D) and a bound comic book full of fables and glossy graphics :)

So in short, thank you SS #7! You made my girlfriend and I feel like little kids again, to the point where she wants in on the GAF Secret Santa for 2010.

Now I feel bad that I didn't go to as much trouble for my Tiny Tim.
 
:lol

Vicious I was going to make another thread for gift opening so that people could avoid all the signup post. It's fine though, I could have been more clear on that since the start and it's kind of hard coordinating something like this because of the differences in time.

If things get out of hand here though I guess I'll have no choice. =P
 
Can't open mine yet, as I'm currently at my cousin's house and left my present back home (about 15min. away). So instead, I'll open it once I get home (probably after midnight).
