2020 Secret Santa Extravaganza.

Recommended Posts

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas over here!

 

This is what it looks like outside right now:

And this is what it looks like inside my home:

As you can see, the package I received from my Secret Santa is the first and currently only gift that's under our Christmas tree!  I'm definitely looking forward to opening it on Christmas :D

After receiving my package the other day and having sent my outgoing parcel, I decided to save my finite will power and see what Santa sent me. I enlisted the help of my youngest daughter, Fossilis minimus, as she enjoys a good surprise more than anyone I know. We spent a couple hours unwrapping all of the carefully packaged fossils (I think 20 in all) and doing a little internet searching, as we were unfamiliar with much of what I  had received. We had so much fun and learned a fair amount. I will take some time and try to get decent pictures. I'm no photographer, but I will do my best. Thank you to my secret santa, I'm pretty sure I know who you are, but I'll let the gang have a guess. I had an idea I thought might be fun, you guys let me know what you think. I'm thinking starting sometime the first week of December, I will post one of my new additions each day, advent calender style. I figure that might help hold some of you over until Christmas.

I think the advent calendar is a brilliant idea! top-points-smiley.gif.1371673602cea444b67adf4a38b925fd.gif

If anyone else wants to do something similar that would be great! 

SHOW US YOUR FOSSILS! 

 

Fossilis minimus has a very nice smile.

Thanks peanut is MrsR favourite. Our village started putting up Christmas last week but  we are a little behind the trend . I think it offer a bit of brightness and colour at this time. So get your Christmas up .  :Jumping:

I got home from work and found a package waiting for me.:D I will assume it is from my Secret Santa as I can't imagine what else it could be. 

I will try my best not to open it, but as you probably know from past experience I am not good at playing the waiting game. Let's face it, I might be 53 years old, but my mind is that of a child.:ighappy:

Christmas is so far away......................

Thanks Adam. She gets it from her mom, Mrs. Fossilis. I would move mountains to see that smile  (especially if those mountains contain fossils). Actually more of smirk in that picture, but I appreciate the compliment nonetheless.

I went to an office party once, dressed as a nun. 

The owner of the company bought me a drink and said, "Err, Adam, this isn't a fancy dress party."

I replied, "I know, I always dress like this out of work."

He didn't speak to me for three months.  

I would gladly like to see that !:heartylaugh::default_rofl::Laughter:
