ALL NOW DONE! Have another look through these beautiful gifts.
My Santa tracker tells me that the day has arrived - at least for some of you.<br /><br />
As soon as it is 25th December where you are you may rip open your gift and post a picture here for the rest of us to admire. (Nan, this does not mean you - yet!)<br /><br />

Santa is now somewhere over Eastern Europe and will be with us in UK in just over 3 hours. I can't believe all of the gifts are still wrapped!

I'm a little confused. I have been watching Santa on the NORAD santa tracker and I see him merrily zipping along at the speed of light but he never lands the sleigh so how does he manage to deliver the gifts? Can someone explain this for me?
4 comments
When you watch Santa driving the sleigh on NORAD you can see trailing behind him thousands of little star 🌟⭐️ like sprinkles and these are the gifts being delivered to everybody all over the world. Love Chris
He is too quick to see!
It's called SM= Santa Magic
I like the way you ladies explain it, Thank you so much. I hope one of those little twinkles was sent to you to make your Christmas merry.

I cheated and squished my package so I knew it was a purse. Well I was right and it is a perfect color to go with my winter coat. My SS even included a bright shiny penny. Thank you Secret Santa, it's perfect.

PS, Thank you SS Janet. I recognized the address,
Very nice purse, 2 zippers.
Very nice!
Very nice
So handy. And cute too
Very practical . Its tradition to always include penny or some money "as in my case a 5cent coin" Love it ")
Practical ! The penny, is it to bring “ good luck” so you never lose the purse ?
Very nice and handy as well. I think the idea of never giving someone that type of gift (a purse, wallet etc) without putting in a coin is so it will never be empty.

Many thanks to my SS for the beautiful towel made like a doll dress, with perfect little bow ties at the "waist". The fabric and thread colors were perfect and my initial is in a beautiful font on the towel itself. It is so sweet. My son is going to help me upload a picture of it next visit, Such a special gift and from a stranger (okay, maybe not - who knows?).

Thank you to my SS who has made me this great pincushion and added pins too. Now what my SS didn't know is that I didn't have a pincushion I relied on a plastic tub. The great design is from UT which is about my fav site. So SS thanks again and hope that you have enjoyed your gift too

Here is a picture of them at the edge of our Christmas Village that my DH loves to set up each year. Thank you Secret Sister - the candle cover is perfect!! Hugs, Laura

Sue, thanks again for expediting this year's exchange. And thanks for insisting we keep to the 1 gift rule. No competition or hurt feelings that way. Happy New Year to everyone.

A couple of gifts pushed the rule to the absolute limit though!
Sue you do such a wonderful job of making this possible for all of us. Thank you! But one not only pushed the limit but went beyond. That makes it hard for those that stick to the rules because it makes us feel that perhaps we should have done more.

Well, I think some kind of record has been made! All but one gift has safely arrived and has been reported in here for all to share. Poor dragonflyer's gift is still wandering in the US postal system.

it was my first time to participate and I really enjoyed it. it think giving the gift and waiting for their reaction was more exciting than getting the gift. 😊 Both were fun though!

Woo Hoo!!! I should say double thanks to my Secret Santa Sister...the original gift she sent, I never received...although the post office confirmed it was delivered...so what did my Secret Santa do....well she made another gift and sent it to me and I received it yesterday....I am so grateful that she took the time and effort to make me a second gift and then expense the postage again...just so I would have her gift...I can't thank you enough...and I LOVE the hand towel you made for me. It is the perfect design and color to match my bathroom...So I say double thanks to you my dear!
