Secret Santa 2017 (part 4: Receiving)

[telly]

I don't know about you guys, but I have purposely avoided the first page of this thread like the plague now. I want to keep my secret santa as much of a mystery as possible.

First page isnt going to ruin anything. Ive only updated the shipping part twice and nothing else has been posted.

[droaa]

With my package shipped out, now comes the waiting period as in the arrival and of course the reveal which I assume will be on the 25th or the day after.

I haven't decided if I'm going to wait until X-mas to open mine or not.

I think I waited until X-mas the last two years.  So I might.

[kashell]

If I get mine on time, it will be opened on either 12/7, 12/14, or 12/21.

Alright people, today is the 30th. All packages hopefully will be out by the end of the day. Quite a few people left to update me. Will send out reminders soon.

I'm the same way! I even have to find myself skimming or avoiding this entire thread, too, so as to not get too much of an idea of who my SS is. If two people say they just sent out, and i receive a package in the next few days, it kinda gives it away

[soera]

Thats why I update it the way I do. Im only adding names in bunches.

Thank you I haven't looked at the front page, but I just meant the thread replies, but people can do what they want! It's my choice to read the thread or not

I have received my package. I'm fighting the urge to open it. Might have to take a peek since it's my birthday.

Well, I haven't gotten word that my package was sent though, so even if it's being updated in bunches I would still know that none of those people are my secret Santa up until this point. It does take some of the mystery away IMO.

Once I get my tracking number maybe then I'll take another peek

EDIT: And Kashypoo told me he didn't get a tracking number anyway so maybe that isn't being done this year

[tafk]

Got my package today! It's all wrapped so maybe I'll just open one a week until xmas

Although I did open what I thought was a note and it was a really cool hand painted picture of Goofy and Donald from Kingdom Hearts so that is rad! Will definitely share as I open more stuff!

[droaa]

I forgot to mention the other day that I myself received my package. Now all we need is a countdown timer.

I never give out the tracking number. If you look at it, you see where the item is coming from and that defeats half the purpose. The tracking info is for me.

[telly]

Hm, both last year and in 2015 I got a tracking number from you. 

I agree though, particularly with the first time I did SS, as soon as I looked at the tracking number I knew it would probably be from turf.
