Mine's being posted Monday, and is on a 5 working day turn around, so, should be with my 'victim' by the 10th or 11th.  Think of it as an advantage: less temptation time before Christmas!

Thanks!

Missed your morning post... I have sent but not received.

Thanks!

OK, I've sent email reminders to those folks I do not have a record of them sending out their gift. If you have already notified me and I sent an email to you, I sincerely apologize.

I hate to nag, but quite a few folks have committed to sending a gift, and certainly I want the GB to be focused on the giving- but still, to be fair to all, everyone also had the expectation to receive a gift in turn.

I also understand that this time of year can be tough financially. If you are no longer able to participate, please let me know immediately. I would like to make other arrangements to make sure those who are participating receive a gift.

To those of you who have sent your gift but not received one- one way or the other I am committed to you getting one. YOU WILL GET A KIT. I apprecaite your committment, enthusiasm and support and I will honor that. So please don't worry.

As a "just in case" measure, if you would be able to step up in case anyone must drop out and "Santa" two folks, I'd certainly appreciate an email. However, PLEASE DO NOT FEEL OBLIGATED.

Thanks so much to everyone for your enthusiasm, you participation, and your understanding.

Thanks to all for the enthusiasm and support!

DrewH, Dubau and any others who have not received a gift- I'm sending out an email today to all who have not confirmed sending- don't worry. I haven't forgotten about you.

If you've not sent a gift to your recipient- please let me know when you do. And if you can't paticipate- PLEASE LET ME KNOW so I can make other arrangements.

Thanks so much to everyone.

My wife has mine hidden to well.  I think she re-wrapped it and put on of the kids' name on it

 Same here Mist.  My girlfriend hid mine but then I realized by accident that she is using mine as a stand to sit our small christmas tree on.  That way she knows for sure I am not going to open it.  She is so smart.

Yippee! Only 24 days left to Christmas!
OK, I know is still a lot , but at least it's less than 39. That's when I got my present.

Swear I didn't touch it since then ... actually I did touch and shake it a little, but the paper is still on!

When I got home from work today there was a misterious box on the doorstep?????. What a great way to finish your day off by getting a pressie.  Thank you mister Santa and cant wait to open it on the big day. This was such a great idea Jon, thanks for hosting this GB and to all who are participating in it.

Steve.

Is it Christmas yet?, Is it Christmas yet? , Is it Christmas yet? .

My present came in the mail today!   My daughter is tickled pink that there is a present already under the tree, but bummed that it isn't for her.  My wife is surprised that I am not opening it already!

The best part; it is about the same size and wrapped in the same paper as the one that I bought for my person......  I promise, I really did send my person his kit yesterday, so......

Maybe great minds do think alike? 

It'll be here faster than you know it! Enjoy the journey to it!

I'll be sending out an email to everyone in the GB who I have not gotten confirmation that you've sent your gift to your recipient. Look for that later this evening.

Again- thanks to everyone for your support and participation!

Well, thanks to Hobby Lobby's 40% off coupon last week, my recepiant got a nice kit The kit has been wrapped, a card enclosed, and the box sealed.  Will go to the Post Office on my way home this afternoon.  Hope my recepiant enjoys the fun behind this Group Build, even if he has built this plane several times.
