The advantage is that it will arrive after the COVID confinment when everybody will be or dead or at the hospital. This said, i'll send mine tomorrow, i just need to buy a postal box of the right size. I'm not sure about horses, but camel post is really quick! Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Don't forget the UK, my friend. To get to Britain you might have to cross La Manche. And for the purposes of this game, Morocco is Europe. Which they'd like very much. Did you know Morocco was in the European Song Contest in 1980? They won't let us play anymore because we're not Europe, but Australia can. Hmmm. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

They certainly accept packages on Sundays, but I don't know if they pick up or deliver items on Sundays (although I think they might, because I'm pretty sure I saw a Canada Post van on my road and a Canada Post worker walk up to my neighbour's door one Sunday a few weeks ago). In any case, my package was accepted and I have the tracking number so I can watch as it travels to my Secret Santa recipient's house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Omeyyades army did swam to invade Spain from Morocco through the Gibraltar Strait. But, without their horses. 1 "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

As for the food - there's always a lot in the house. Just yesterday afternoon I baked some double-chocolate cookies which are nice and chewy for the first few days after they're made. Sometimes I'll treat the family and scoop a layer of vanilla ice cream between two of the cookies to make it into an ice cream sandwich - they're pretty delicious, if I do say so myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Everyone has now been sent the details of their Secret Santa Victim.

Tidgy's Dad Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 When you do receive your parcel it is up to you to open it now or at Christmas, but please photograph your gifts in as much detail as possible so we can all get to share in your pleasure. If you put them all in drawers or your shelves before photographing, you'll forget. We all want to see what you've been sent and it's one of the RULES!!!!! 4 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

I believe that was how past years went. I believe Adam going for a more laidback approach this year. If you choose to open it you can post pictures straight away or if you’re like me and opening it on Christmas Day then the Christmas Day or Boxing Day good. @Tidgy's Dad I am correct ? This is not for you @Adam86cucvbut a reminder to any newcomers I know from Doren it was frustrating when a few members last year just took their gift and run with it without sharing . The most fun part of this thread is seeing the gifts in front of the members Christmas trees. Let’s have fun . cheers Bobby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice !!! I'm digging the way this year is shaping up already. I think with COVID-19 we spoil the kids whenever we can. It has been Red Velvet cupcakes and homemade whipped cream this week. \ Cheers, Brett 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranzBernhard Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I know who Santa is !! Although not participating in Secret Santa, I received a totally unexpected fossil-rich parcel from Santa today. But all I will say is, that Santa is a member of TFF . I will not open the parcel until Christmas, because I have already a rough idea whats in . And if you think, I am not curious, you could be right .
