Re: Holiday Goodie Exchange
How was the wine Epi?
Re: Holiday Goodie Exchange
Are you implying I was drunk yesterday?
I haven't had it yet. I like red wine with certain meals, and I haven't made anything I take red wine with yet since it arrived.

Re: Holiday Goodie Exchange
Just thought I should mention that I haven't received my thing yet so if whoever sent it was expecting it to have arrived already probably need to follow up with it?

Re: Holiday Goodie Exchange
Same here, but quite a few people said they were getting them out late so I'm not too worried yet.

Re: Holiday Goodie Exchange
So a package arrived for my sister [mention]Captain Bunny Killer[/mention] yesterday from [mention]sig[/mention] !!
There are chocolate truffle bars, bourbon infused chocolates, and a bottle of Blueberry Honey wine. She shared some of the wine with me last night and it is really good. And I don’t normally like wine! Anyway, I’ll let her say more about it, lol.

Re: Holiday Goodie Exchange
It's here, it's here! My gift from [mention]G-Man[/mention] Man was waiting for me on my doorstep (along with a new pair of running shoes, not from G-Man ), which was a pretty exciting thing to come home to.
Tasty snacks (I'm currently eating the pretzels, because pretzel chunks), a card game I'm sure [mention]Boomslang[/mention] and I will play and get mad at each other for winning at and keep playing, a Pennsylvania Dutch cookbook with old-timey recipes that I'm super stoked about, and a lovely handwritten letter explaining it all, as well as some fun historical and etymological information about G-Man's neck of the woods.
Thank you so much!

Re: Holiday Goodie Exchange
Woo hoo! I’m glad they finally got there. I almost have my USPS tracking number memorized now. I sent that stuff on Saturday.

Dutch Blitz can turn into a nasty game, so have fun! I was hoping to put something more personal in your gift but, unlike last year, the Interrogation Room wasn’t much help. All anyone seemed to ask you about was your favorite Zelda characters.
It must be karma that I kept you waiting so long and I, in turn, am still waiting for my care package to arrive. Is anyone else still waiting? Seems like most of them are accounted for.

Honestly,I’m content to wait. We’ve got so much Christmas candy left over that we may make it to Easter without running out.

Re: Holiday Goodie Exchange
Hope you like it! We sent it out kind of late because we thought we were entered into the Exchange as a single unit... until the second package arrived! I had gotten one from Elohcin, but then some teas arrived for BR.
Actually - who sent those teas?
Also, the one I sent out earlier, to the USA, still hasn't arrived, so I don't know what's going on there...

Re: Holiday Goodie Exchange
Do you have a tracking number for it or does that not work when crossing international borders? Epi has the list of who sent to whom but I’ve been trying to track it based on the posts in this thread so I could try to guess who I might receive from, POE style.
The bummer is really on your side, seeing as you spent time and money on something that vanished. I don’t think anyone will be too bent out of shape to not receive something. Better to give anyway, right?

Everyone sees what they truly want to see in the painting.
Last time, you told me my painting looked like an overcooked slab of meat. Then I painted it more, changed it, and you said you liked it better before.
Re: Holiday Goodie Exchange
Well, if you were going for a leaf, you did a great job.
(Seriously, that's a great piece)

Thank you, it is a leaf, a maple leaf, the maple leaf that adorns the Canadian flag, for you see, we were going for a Canadian kind of theme.

So, it’s time again to think about this. My package never came last year. Does that mean I get to run this year’s exchange?

I can participate, but I cannot run it.
G-Man, you should be able to send a PM to everybody if you want. Just hit "Registered Users" in the TO box.

Re: Holiday Goodie Exchange
Posting this straight from the PM I just sent out:
Here's how it works:
1) Go to the Holiday Goodie Exchange thread and tell us that you're in. For now, we'll set a deadline of Sunday, December 1st for signing up. As of the sending of this PM, we already have six people participating!
2) On Monday, December 2nd, I will send a PM to everyone who signed up and ask them to provide a mailing address for their Secret Santa to send their goodies to. Please send me your addresses within 48 hours so we can keep things rolling along. If you've already signed up and want to send me your address in advance, that works too!
3) By Friday, December 6th, my goal is to have randomized the participant list, assign Secret Santas, and send you all the name of the person you are sending goodies to.
4) Once you have the name and address of the person you're sending to, you can figure out what you want to send them. In the past, we've suggested a $10-20 limit. We understand that this is fun and should not be a financial burden on anyone participating (and shipping rates aren't always cheap!). You can send something that you know they are interested in (the Interrogation Room is a great place for researching some folks), or you can send something with local flavor. If you're really stumped, you can always reach out to me and I can ask questions for you so you don't blow your cover.
5) Purchase and send your goodies.
6) Wait. This is always the most anguishing part.
7) Check the Holiday Goodie Exchange thread to see what other people get from their Secret Santas. We usually try to post a picture of the goodies we receive but a words-only post works fine too!
8) When you receive goodies from your Secret Santa, please share a pic or explain what you got in the Holiday Goodie Exchange thread.
9) Come back and do it again the following year!
There is no pressure to participate, so if this just isn't your year, that's okay. We still love you because you're part of this community. If you have any questions, send them my way!

Re: Holiday Goodie Exchange
IMPORTANT:
If you are signing up for the exchange, please list any allergies and/or food and drink that you do not consume. This will help prevent us from killing anyone in real life. Also, if there's anything that you strongly dislike and do not want to receive, please list that too.
I will ask for allergy info and dislikes when collecting your addresses via PM.
