Wow after seeing these amazing gift... I feel bad for my person... I didn't have alot of money so I apologise for the simple gift... But it was the best I could do...

We all go into this realizing that everyone's budget isn't the same, hense the $20 minimum. You gifted what you could and that's all that matters. The spirit of giving is what this is all about and that's exactly what you guys did :D

Still waiting on mine...I think the post is being slow!

Same here. Not even a notification yet. However, my recipient received his gift and posted here, so I am happy. I hope yours shows up soon as well!

I’m also glad to see all of the other exiting gifts that everyone is getting and hope you are all having an awesome holiday season. Honestly, some time off of work and coaching my kids sports is all the present I need:)

and another BIG thank you to my Secret Santa! I was thrilled with the fragging tools kit, and then these arrived over the past few days: a reactor (for carbon, maybe gfo too?), an acclimator box (check out the cartoons of the happy fish vs sad fish when you rush acclimation - love it!) and of course a pair of clownfish socks. Thank you big time!!!

Congrats to all the Secret Santas. I just sat here and read all the threads and it seems it was very successful. I cant wait to be a part of this next year with all these great folks. I also learned that I need to be a little more clever next year as i had never done this before and I learned a lot

My Secret Santa has sent three separate boxes of stuff this year. I was truly spoiled. I didn't take pictures -- but I wish I did. I'll be posting this in my build thread too just to be certain that he/she gets the message. I received really fun gifts. I received both reef supplies, which I needed, and fun librarian/reading stuff. Thank you. ;Joyful

What is a Dongle? I have to know. It looks awesome, but thinking it was named by Julian Sprung :)

Seriously I have the best secret Santa ever! Got the rest of my wish list gifts the other day! Got a blender for making my fish food, some wire managment sticky squares, pipe supports, cable cutout covers, super sweet reverse action tweezers, and some super soft towels for cleaning the dog nose marks off the glass! Thank you again a million times over @Bryce M. !

I’m a little late but here’s my gifts from Secret Santa! The clue to the name is supposed to be in the gifts. Any ideas??

That's ironic considering your from Mississippi. I would be sending the shirt back to Dan Mullen with a note saying "You and the shirt can stay in Florida!" Actually if your looking for an assistant coach how about Joe Moorhead!I

Or you can just use it to light the cigars. ;)

So we had a little hiccup for the past couple weeks. Wife ended up in the hospital with preeclampsia the week before Xmas and things have been crazy ever since. I wasn't able to get my gifts in the mail to my person but i had Santa reach out and let them know they're coming. I just have to get them in the mail after the craziness calms down. My recipient is amazing and totally understands. Has even been through a similar situation herself 22 years ago wink wink ;);)

So we welcomed our 4th child into this world on Wed the 18th, and despite being 8 weeks early, he is healthy. I got my boy finally! For Christmas no less! I have 3 girls and we waited to find out the sex on this one till arrival. We spent the next week in the hospital but managed to get the wife home in the afternoon so we could still salvage a somewhat normal Christmas for the girls. It just sucked not being able to have the whole family together as little William will be spending some time in the nicu.

I finally opened my gifts from my Santa. You know who you are :) and your generosity rounded out an absolutely amazing although insane holiday. These were the only gifts I had under the tree and they're all things I've been needing. You helped me get my calcium reactor online and the Hanna kit has already been used a dozen times while I dial everything in. I was also out of coral food and aminos. I'm looking forward to repaying your generosity and helping you get your nem tank filled. Thanks bud you're a class act!

This was my first ss on r2r and just want to say even though it's not over on my end, it was such an enjoyable experience and made the Christmas holiday so joyful. I made some amazing friends and I think that's the greatest part in all of this regardless of what you were able to spend or received. I think it brought a bunch of strangers with a common interest closer together. Outside of my wife and children my r2r family is the closest thing I've ever had to an extended family and I love you all. I hope everyone enjoyed this as much as I and that it brought everyone as much joy as it did for me and my family.

From the Wohlers family we wish everyone and your families a happy and safe holiday!!
