I'm getting concerned.
I shipped my Secret Santa package on Dec 12th.
The Post Office delivery confirmation says it was properly delivered.
My Secret receiver has not posted that he has received it

I'm in the same boat.

When Santa sees these post he emails the receiver - just as an extra check
will keep everyone posted as I hear.

So, tornandfrayed75 and I can rest assured that you are investigating these things.

Nearly goes without saying, but I guess we are not the first in this annual Secret Santa thing that this has happened to, and surely we will not be the last.

Anxiety back down to a simmer.

Santa, I don't suppose you could check in with my recipient? Mine was sent a week ago, inside a Christmas card. It should be there by now. (I didn't use confirmation because it was in a whole stack of drop'n'go Secret Santas and Christmas cards I was sending out via my regular shipper . . . didn't even occur to me til the next day that I should have separated them. )


Matthew, jfransch . . . My mom and I in matching red sweaters, hunched over a table? Unlikely. Our dinner table is outside, where my mom smokes; I won't subject my coins to that. (Also, she hates sweaters.) But "trading flips back and forth across a TV tray, in our pajamas" . . . I'll give you that one. :D

Oh well its Xmas Eve Night and no more post now until Thursday..........
Maybe it will arrive then,
I don't think I have ever been disappointed on Xmas morning,
Then Secret Santa raised his head, but hey......
I notice I have until 9th Jan 2013 before I can write of my disappointment.
Maybe.just Maybe.Santa is doing a bit of overtime this year.

Hold on greeniejim!! Some of us left coast people haven't received our mail yet... It is not quite 2! I'm holding out hope for more possibly later afternoon/early evening packages being delivered. Tis the season to be hopeful! In case I don't get back before Xmas, hope all members and their families have the happiest of holidays!! Merry, merry Christmas!

The present I sent should have arrived the other day, but nothing posted as of yet from them. Hopefully they will post soon that they got it.

I opened my gift and found a miniature Christmas tree with what Santa called the 12 coins of Christmas. I forgot to take a picture as it came but took 6 of the 12 coins and honored them with their own flip. The first picture shows the coins in their flips on top of the mini X-mas tree. My flips are covering the holes. My favorite coin from the group is a 1960 10 Piastres from Egypt. This coin is 7 grams of .720 silver. And my birth you too.
The second favorite coin is the 1971 50 cent piece from Bahama Islands. This coin is 10.37 grams of .800 silver. These two would have made a nice gift by themselves but it got sweeter. My third favorite coin is a souvenir from the Benjamin Franklin Memorial. This small token packs a great looking punch. The next 3 coins are very nice. The three are from Mexico. 1963 cinco centavos, 1959 diez centavos and the coolest of the 3, a 1963 veinte centavos. All 3 are AU or better. The last 6 include a bronze religious medal, 1 game token, dateless buffalo, Bahama penny and a little coin from Austria. Thank you Secret Santa. I'm very happy. Part of the fun was researching the coins to figure out what I had. Education is a great gift too.

I included this in a message that I just sent to my sister:

About the Secret Santa exchange: people are much more worried about the safe delivery of their gift than bragging about what they got. Now THAT is keeping the true spirit!
A few people are holding off until tonight/tomorrow. Most of us did not.
Two nice pair of socks. How can I complain? The coins were a bonus.
Coin people are caring people.

I trust that rggoodie is pleased with everyone.
