It's selfish but can we be slightly coy or discreet about the reveals until I'm home. One ask to the forum pls xx

No qualms with spoilers

Oh reveals... Are we doing that? I reckon Nick was my Santa - no idea why and I'm probably wrong. The tea spoke to me, it's all the tea's idea.

Game.

that's a shame. Have any Santa's said they posted late or anything? Could be courtesy of royal mail? Or maybe the Santa could PM perm to let him know what's up?

Lol goes to show I don't shop in there really

If I had to guess I'd say your Santa was caught out by the fact he/she was sending to essentially the back of beyond.

Ah ha, so you got a MALE Santa!

No, it was a mail Santa.

tish

Thank you to my Secret Santa for your unique gift...of laughter. Ever since opening yesterday morn I have been chuckling to myself randomly at different times of the day. 
For the rest of you, let me set the context. I currently live in Switzerland, a country famous for many things. One of which is a certain brand of pyramid-shaped chocolate bars. This brand is so popular here they give it to you for free. Every hotel has a small bowl of miniatures in its reception. Walk through Zurich airport and there is a series of displays telling you the history of this dearly beloved brand of pyramid-shaped chocolate. 

My secret santa parcel was heavy, substantial and well wrapped:


Christmas morning I started to unwrap. Inside were several more layers of wrapping, with the first being a Game bag. Good sign, I thought. Then there was a lovely card:


I was impressed. Finally, underneath the many layers of wrapping and lovely card was a hexagon-tube pressie all wrapped up. At last, the gift was ready to be unveiled. I opened it. I found this:



My immediate thought was: Oh, is isn't the B&B gift. Then I remembered the card. Then I remembered the singular humour that had sustained me throughout the year on this forum. Then I laughed. Yes, my B&B secret santa had gone to the trouble of gift wrapping and safely sending me the chocolate that is so readily available in this land. Then I proceeded to chuckle to myself whenever I thought of this gift. I still do.

So thank you Secret Santa. I continue to chuckle as I write this. 

Here ends stellavista's secret santa shaggy dog story.


(P.S. I trust the intention was indeed humorous. Maybe you meant it otherwise! But I genuinely found it funny, so thank you.)

I'm guessing mine is @workid!

Best santa ever!!!

Wrongo!

I think mine is bollockoff, based on earlier comment in this thread.

Not me either.

I'm stumped. Mine could have come from a fellow Miner or just one of the gang who know my love for the Mine. 

Loving this.
