Over the years I've always enjoyed the exchange of gifts - the anticipation of whose name I will receive, the thinking about a suitable gift - what would they like, how will it be mailed  (I think one year I sent through Amazon), and then wondering who will be sending me a gift, and the excitement of tearing it open.  A pewter guardian angel for my car - a gift certificate - jewellry - something to read or to admire. 

Thanks to all those who organized - and all those who participated. 

Let's find a way to do it again next year.

Sorry this is so late all. I was without power/internet for a few days, and then ever so busy with family and church.

My Secret Santa this year was Sterton, and what a wonderful present I received... the aforementioned woolen red bag, plus (hope I mention everything)...

Nice ivory-coloured candles

Brown, cirular, Christmas tree drink coasters

A small pad of note paper, with a lovely and majestic-looking lighthouse design on the top

A rich-brown coloured microwave mitt

And (best of all imho) a black plastic bowl - made out of a recycled Gene Autry Sings album.

Thank you Sterton. What wonderful gifts. Hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas. All the best for 2014.

You are welcome Dcn. Jae!  My favourite was the melted record as well.  I did all my shopping at our church's talent auction :)

You folks are all such creative gift givers! Well done everyone!

Canada Post may have taken a bit of a detour with mine.  I'm still waiting, and I also never recieved a local letter that should have been in the mail on the 16th.  Which one do you think will find it to me first?

Hi Chemgal  - I'll take a look into that for you!

Thanks Somegal!  I don't mind waiting, I thought maybe my Santa was going for Jan 7 or something :)  I just don't want a gifter to feel unappreciated!
