@Tidgy's Dad lets have a photo of your lovely gift or are you saving it to Crimbo day.

 

i'll be posting it on the 'mailbox' thread in just a moment. It's not my Secret Santa, just a gift from a very kind forum member. :)

I think everyone is meant to only open their Secret Santa package on X-Mas day... 

Otherwise it takes the Santa vibes away ;)

Once you receive you package, please post the contents here so everyone can see :) but keep in mind, it is a SECRET Santa

But I would like to wait to Christmas Day to open it too

If I don’t know who sent my package, then what package do I know not to open? Maybe I’ll just keep them all closed till Christmas:P

First you talked about Itchy Sores and now Spiny Sores?

 Son, I think you've got a condition...maybe some lotion will help.

Close ups of my favourites, these really are stunning pieces. The camera really doesn’t do them justice.

And a wonderful, (not sure it’s deserved tho), sentiment on the card.

Wow what a great selection of fossils and such a nice letter, I’m thinking that it had to come from a female member of the Forum, because It was just enough for me to write the address on the box.

Unfortunately, this Secret Santa forgot to put an item in the box being sent, so another package is on the way.  When you get your list, number thirteen is missing, but have patience...it is coming.

I was also a lucky recipient of a Secret Santa gift today!!!  The box had a beautiful selection of European ammonites (mostly German) within it:

Viola kept one of the little Stephanoceras sp. specimens for herself (it's already residing in her jewelry box, right next to her other two German ammonites :)) and the others will be part of my fossil display in the basement of our new house - hooray!!!

 

Thanks so much, Secret Santa - I love, love, LOVE my gift!!!

 

Happy Holidays, everyone!
