Funny story..I posted a thank you on Elfster to my Secret Santa. Unfortunately, my thank you didn’t include everything. I just found a box in a closet that contained my new Maxspect Gripper. Someone forgot to tell me it was there :p

Thank you Secret Santa for everything!!!

Same for me. Third year in a row this has happened to me too.
Happened to me last year. This year I'm practicing patience. We'll see what happens. :rolleyes: Either way, I know I did the right thing, so not a huge deal.

Thanks to my SS. Was concerned I wasn’t going to receive a gift, turns out it was delivered to my neighbors house.
Neighbors were wondering what weird back massager that was supposed to be

Dear Secret Santa,

Thank you for the fish food, light, and chocolate. The best part was opening the box after the kids and husband went to bed, which means they have no idea the candy is in the house, and I don't have to share.

Not sure who my SS was(someone named Ed). but thank you none the less. The hanna reagents came right in time as I was just going to order more today.

The artwork is simply amazing! I would never have thought of something like that, and it looks great!

I recently rebuilt my stand and added an equipment cabinet to the side. It will look awesome right next to the tank, and will glow like a real coral as I get some light spillage on that part. If I could get a better pic under blues(we all know how well those photograph) I would show how it glows like a real coral

Again thank you very much, and very cool!

Yay, you got it! I'm so glad you like it, I worked pretty hard to get the colors right! Purple was a very difficult color to capture in an Acantho, but based on your reaction I got it right!
I'm glad the package arrived safely! Thanks a lot for participating this year and I hope to see you again next year!
God bless.

Well thank you very much!

Even my wife likes the art, which is rather odd. She actually suggested we put it on the stand with the tank. It looks awesome setting next to the tank, and with the lights off at night, it even glows like a real coral under blues.

A second package arrived today from Secret Santa (not so secret anymore @Squeaky McMurdo). Lynna was thrilled! Three days before her birthday! Thank you again Chesea. You really are a special Santa.

Thank you so much to my secret Santa. The wife already ate my gummy bears. Thank you for taking the time to write a card. It means a lot. You are a great person.

I love following this thread!!! It always makes me smile! :)

If anyone has not received a gift yet, please be sure and reach out to me.

Also, if you were late shipping, let me know. I am aware of a few gifts that went out later than planned.

We work very hard every year to do our best to ensure no one gets missed.
