HOLY COW! I'm BLOWN AWAY! Just received my secret Santa package this morning and I can't believe the generosity displayed. Thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You have helped to make this Christmas one I will never forget... It's been 10 minutes since I opened my package and I still can't wipe the smile off my face... 😃
Hey everyone, just a bit of housekeeping. Can everyone give an update on whether they've received their gifts or not? I just want a headcount so I have an idea of where everyone is at. If you haven't sent your gift yet, you're fine as you're still within the time limit.
I've received my gift (and I hope my Secret Santa saw my thank you note).
I received my gifts. Thanks, Santa! And every blend he left for me has been WONDERFUL! Highly recommended: Peterson Connoisseur's Choice Peterson Luxury Blend C&D's Captain Bob's Blend (OK, so sue me. I really like it, although I utterly rejected Captain Black Grape in my first pipe life (1964 - mid1985).
Capt. Bob's blend smells like grape soda, but the addition of Latakia and Perique makes for a delicious smoke.....)
Package received and I couldn't have done any better if I had done it myself. Thank you very much secret Santa. Outstanding! Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year.
@piperdave Did you receive it with those labels covering up the warning?! That's hilarious! haha.
I have not received my gift yet; however, to whoever is matched to me - please do not feel rushed or pressured with my status update. This is awesome!!
I made out like the proverbial bandit in this Secret Santa drawing. I’m just getting to the last two blends, and each is better than the last. BTW, for now at least, Peterson’s Connoisseur’s Choice is the apotheosis of all the pipe tobaccos I’ve ever tried.
@motie2 I have had a tin of Peterson’s Connoisseur’s Choice sitting on my shelf in the I don't know pile for a long time unopened. Now i will have to give it a try.
Based on the silence, I'm going to go ahead and assume everyone is good and has their package.
I want to go ahead and thank everyone who was involved in this year's Secret Santa. I enjoyed seeing everyone's pictures of their gifts, as well as their happy reactions. It warms my heart to see all the generosity from our givers. It's because of all of you that we're able to keep this going. Thank you everyone for your participation, and I hope to see you all joining in again next year!

So, is there anyone left who hasn't received their package?
