Drew if Jon has a tree cam hidden, make sure it's only package unwrapping and no wifey unwrapping hany-panky in front of the treeTongue [:P]  Or we'll be seeing you on You Tube.

I will be getting to the PO when I get back from Ohio. So if you are on the PA turnpike tonight.... GET OUT OF MY WAYWink [;)]

Steve, 

No, I didn't think of it until after I sent the package off.  I probably would have included it if I had thought of it beforehand. 

After reading that the first package had been recieved, and that wills were weakening, I figured some might find strength (or at least some humor) in being threatened.

HEY !     Wait a minute ....    Was that question some lame attempt at process of elimination to figure out who your secret santa is ?   Hmmmmm.... Rudolf will be watching you.

Still havent found anything. Laaamee I hate living in a small town far away. Hopefully I can pick something up soon though. Ill get something for sure dont worry. Ive found a couple really sweet kits on eBay, but maybe Ill try to get the LHS to order one in. Ill see how long that takes.

Cam, the post office here in Canada says you have until December 10th to get that parcel in the mail if you are shipping by airmail to the US (I believe the deadline has already passed for surface).  Personally I wouldn't (and didn't) wait that long but you do have some time.  If you're shipping within Canada you have lots of time.  What part of BC are you hanging out in?  Not much to choose from here in the Okanagan either.

I've used ebay stores like Kerryvanderz before.  Selection isn't the greatest but if he has  something suitable shipping usually gets here in a couple of days.  The kits are cheap but with shipping you still end up paying LHS prices.  Just a thought.

No Bossman that is not what I was doing, but now that you mention it it would have been a good idea. I guess someone could use the process of elimination now that packages are flying all over the place and arriving all over the place. HMMMM, must start paying attention to some of this.

Thanks guys!

Just a reminder to all- November 30th is fast approaching! Just let me know when you ship your gift out.

And please- if you will not be able to participate (life happens fast!), just let me know! I'll make sure your recipient is taken care of. The main thing is I want you to receive the blessing of a gift! That's what it's all about! 

God bless all- turkey sandwiches for everyone! Big Smile [:D]

I was finally able to settle on a gift and get it sent off to my recipient earlier this week.  Then, got a big surprise today when the package from my secret-Santa arrived!  Man, can't wait to open it!  It will taunt me for the next month+ with its bow and plastic rattley sound. My only consolation is that as I'm probably living farther east than anyone else in the GB, I'll be one of the first to open on the 25th!Big Smile [:D]
