Nice to hear, Jon!

I got mine today! It's large, so I needed an 18-wheeler just to get it here. Never thought SS would go for my 1:1 kit request Smile [:)] Luckily we have a large public Chistmas tree to put it near (didn't fit under). Swedish military forces will be guarding it until the 24th not letting even me near until then Big Smile [:D]

Thanks a lot Secret Santa!

Stay cool, relax my friend   

is on his way.  The weather took a turn to the nasty side in the frozen north.  Looks like he took a detour south to thaw out. 

While waiting have a nice warm EggNogg.

Everyone seems to be having a fantastic time.  Spirits are high.  Betcha the stress meter is off the top end.

Got home from work and my daughter had a box in her hands for me. It was the SS2 box. i had her open it in case it was not wrapped inside. It was and had a great plastic rattling sound to it. Them my daughter found some extra goodies inside for now. A great poster of built kits that was home made, it is really terrific, what a great touch that was, thanks. There was also a CD that has photos of my Secret Santa and family around their home. That was wayyyy cooollll, talk about getting to know someone and making a new friend. We have talked before and we have shared quite a few GB's together and I really enjoy building with him but now i feel I know him so much better. Thanks to you my friend #^%%^@. You and your family went the extra mile on this one. Thank you and all your family. God bless you all.

Well, much to my dismay, I heard a strange noise this noon time outside.  Given the fierce storm we have been having for the last couple of days, I figured "Oh, great!  A tree came down!" and raced outside to see what waas the matter - all I found was a box marked "SS2" and my name, next to a pile of still steaming reindeer "stuff"!  Aha, sez I, my Secret Santa's delivery has come - then SWMBO spotted the package, snatched it from my hands and proceeded to hide it!  Angry [:(!]  Now I can't even try to use my x-ray vision glasses to see what's within.....22 days????? SHEESH!!!!!!  Blindfold [X-)]  Thanks to my Secret Santa, I can't wait to see what I got!!!!!!

I got this seemingly innocent looking package in the mail today. Upon removing the outer brown paper, I discovered a box....a shoebox to be exact! Hmm, I didn't order any shoes!Confused [%-)] I figured I better investigate....you know, make sure I didn't recieve someone elses order or something. So I opened it. Ah Ha! Wadded up newspaper! This shoe company had not only delivered to the wrong address, it had replaced shoes with worthless newspaper. These people had some answering to do. In order to fully document this obvious case of fraud, I decided to inventory every last piece of newsprint in said box.....one by one. After a few sheets were removed, I noticed another box......curious. This one was wrapped in colorful paper,and had a plastic sounding rattle to it....definetly not shoes! I set the box aside while I resumed my inventorying. After I finished, I noticed that the colorful box seemed to be looking at me.....somehow mocking me. Then it happened, a strange uncontrollable urge to open the mysterious colorful box! Just as I was about to, I realized that this was the SSGB gift!Sign - With Stupid [#wstupid]Dunce [D)]Banged Head [banghead] Well, it is Monday!Big Smile [:D]

Now the box is just sitting there, waiting, watching, mocking......I thought this was supposed to be fun!?Big Smile [:D]

so, I was really unpatient and I went to the Post Office today to complain: where is my Secret Santa box ? I was ready to start a fight at the counter when the phone rang: my wife just told me that a huge box was delivered by Mrs Santa Smile [:)]

YES !!!!!!!!!!!! I got it !!!

I opened the box hoping that my Secret Santa was too busy and forgot to wrap it up ... Wink [;)] No, he did not forget ! It is wrapped up and shaking it I hear some nice plastic sound .... CAN I OPEN IT NOW ???????? 

And a card was also attached to the box - I feel like I could not resist and I opened it !!!!!!!

Oh my .... I did no believe it: You guys have NO IDEA but I know for a fact:
