Just returned from the post office with the first-arriving Amazon wish list gifts. WhooHoo!
But my woohoos were muted by the fact that I still don’t know whom to thank. Amazon hasn’t revealed the gift-givers, but I figured the packages would contain that info. Nope. 🙁
Today’s gifts were for the pups. I already know the giver of the bounteous bag of tennis balls, thank you MS Jordan. But who sent the wonderful Kong Wubba? All three dogs started jumping the moment I opened it, but this is going to be the special toy for Nadja. Poor Nadja is a sad case and a neurotic and she seldom ever plays at all. But bring out a Wubba and she’s like a puppy. Somebody — but who? — has made Nadja’s day. (And the tennie balls, of course, will make Ava’s year.)
So please, all you Secret Santas — speak up! If you’re not comfortable posting your identity in the comments section, will you email me so I can thank you? (Mail to wishlist at hermit.cotse.net or to my regular address if you already have it.)
Claire, Ordinarily the recipient knows who the gift is from, but doesn’t know what’s in the box. In your case, you know what you’re getting, but don’t know who sent it. It’s only right that you should wait till Christmas to learn this. 🙂
Pat, she was one of those people that shook and opened her Christmas Gifts early
Just had to know
Anonymity is the best way to give a gift. Most of us don’t generally have the opportunity to do it that way in our daily lives with our actual friends.
(For the record, no I’m not one of the people who sent anything this time around. Not that I’d say anything if I was. 🙂 )
LOL, MS Jordan, I may have been a package shaker. But early opener — no, never. In fact, I was an amazingly restraining force on my incredibly materialistic younger brother who would hunt down all his presents in their pre-Christmas hiding places, figure out what they were, tote up the cost, then decree whether he was going to have a “good” (expensive) or “bad” (inexpensive) Christmas.
In fact, it was always my role on Christmas Eve (the day we opened our gifts) to play Santa so that I’d have an excuse to pile up all my presents and open them last. So there. 🙂
Two more gifts arrived this morning! Actually four in two packages — and this time they came with the names of the givers. Email thanks to go out soon …
