This was definitely a success again this year, I loved seeing what everyone else got, and [mention]sig[/mention]'s treats are nearly all gone already!

So it turns out I got a package today after all! It was from [mention]sig[/mention]!!

The package contained: a funny card with a nice message and various Kentucky/Lexington-sourced things (Bourbon chocolate balls, Bourbon-flavored sauce, almond/caramel popcorn, and tastycake cupcakes!

It's especially awesome that these are all local KY things -- not only because it reminds me of Cinci/Northern Kentucky, but also because somehow I never had any of these brands while I was there, so it's all new to me. I already broke out the popcorn and bourbon balls and they are truly excellent. Thanks so much, sig!

I'mma take a random guess...

I got a package today, just as I was about to leave and visit family! We opened it in the car. No pics now, as I am just home and it is Late with a capital T, but I got some really cool stuff from my secret Santa! Beautifully wrapped bottles of spices and hot sauces, unique tastes that I haven't tried before, and other unique snacks from the (I think, I'm very tired) Texas area!

ALSO COFFEE! My wife squeed over that. I'll update (with pics maybe) once I've actually tried some of the stuff, but I'm about to collapse on my keyboard. Merry Christmas to my secret Santa, and thank you so much!

Yay!

So I received an unexpected package earlier this week!!

I cannot express how grateful I am to Epi for sending me the Christmas-in-June package full of awesome gifts that he really didn't have to go through the trouble to get and spend the money on. The caramels and chocolates are amazing! And I haven't gotten the chance to watch the Rush DVD or use anything else yet, but I absolutely cannot wait to get the opportunity. Thanks so much, bud. You really made my week.

Someone asked if we are imposing a rule that gifts can't be opened until Christmas. What do you all think? Should we all wait until Christmas Day to open them, or open as they come in? My only concern is some of them might be baked goodies or such, and in that case it would be better to receive them as fresh as possible. Thoughts?

I'd vote that we open them as they come in precisely for the concern you addressed (perishable items), but it doesn't matter to me. Whatever you all think is best.

So today Annie and I got our package from Mongoose!!! It is five different packages of Victorian Hard Candy, including peach, watermelon, cherry, root beer, and citrus mix.

They look, smell, and taste amazing!!! Thank you so much, Alison!

Yay, glad you like it!!

Can't wait!

This is totally awesome. Really excited for my swap but also excited to see what everyone else swaps!
