MSirmon Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 How about something like this: Sung to: Oh My Darling Clementine Great big dinosaurs, great big dinosaurs, Lived so long ago Some liked land and some liked water, Some flew in the air. Great big dinosaurs, great big dinosaurs, Lived so long ago Some had horns and some had spikes, Some had wings like bats.

caldigger Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Actually, I'm not sure Clementines are in season this time of year. Would you settle for a nice Haas Avacado? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Ha! That would put our Dept. Of Ag. in an uproar sending foriegn fruit through the mail. California is so strict on any produce coming into the state I'd never see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I'm not in California. Send some to me & I'll carefully describe the taste to caldigger. 1 Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

caldigger Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Well it does appear many of the packages this year are getting on the road in a very timely manner. Let's just hope the customs officials are in a good mood and slide things along just as smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be bubble and gift wrapping mine tonight and hopefully posting it out on Saturday. Secret Santa is a great fun opportunity to get to know members you may not have meet before now.

Wrangellian Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 You're a riot Adam. It's between you and snolly for Forum Jester... a few others are close behind but I think you two are the frontrunners. My package is packed up and ready to go, just have to get it to the PO!

Peat Burns Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Is the recipient supposed to know who the secret Santa is before he / she opens it on Christmas? In other words, is it okay to put a return address on the package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Tony, I am sure that will be fine. We just don't want participants to know who it is coming from before they get it. All the international players are having to put sender's info due to customs needs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Return addresses are fine, just dont go texting your partner to let them know it's on the way! The Secret has to last until the package is recieved. *For you international shippers, It would be a good Idea to hold onto those mailing receipts and customs slips until you know your partner has gotten the package.
