Well, we have encountered our first (and ONLY, so far) typo in an address. So there is one present that may be a little delayed due to a typo. I suppose one out of 37 addresses is pretty good. After I hear back from their secret santa as to whether or not it's been sent, I'll PM the recipient to let them know that it may not make it out tomorrow. Oops!

The girls got a package from KT on Saturday! They were so excited when they opened it up and saw the Spongebob wrapping paper. They got a Belle doll, Cinderella doll, and two packs of Hello Kitty Squinkies. They LOVED them! Thank you, KT! Your gift is in the mail!

So sorry to hear this, Kristina! I hope you find her!

What an awesome first gift to be posted! I'm going to have to step up my shopping efforts this weekend.

Aah, lol. Funny story: Did a play with a guy who was a Jehovah's Witness. He came to pick something up from me at my office one day after Christmas that year, and totally forgetful me asked him how his holiday was! Oops. He said, "Oh, it was just another day for us." Insert foot in mouth.

Yay, I'm glad they're starting to get to their destinations! Can't wait to see pictures!

I bet that family was not very popular with the rest of the street.

This one only has a couple of religious things, like the Noah's Ark, and a manger scene that had Mary rocking the cradle, as well. But that's it. The rest is the totally random things, most of which are not Christmas/Holiday related at all. They also have several donation boxes around the yard. I can only imagine how much the power bill is to run these things!

Sending FOOD? Oh my dear gosh, I surly hope you have me! OR ME! Seriously the best baking I've had in years! Aww, thanks! I'm probably just going to put my street address with no name, because I'm guessing once they open it my person will easily be able to guess who it's from.

I'm excited to see everyone's gifts! Part of my gift is going to require some time in the kitchen, so someone has something tasty to look forward to.

Nice pictures, Chuck! The park looks so pretty. I love lights!

I've bought part of mine already, but won't have a chance to go shopping again until Saturday morning, so I'll be mailing mine out on Saturday. Can't wait to start seeing pictures of what people receive!

Or rather, I for sure don't get to be surprised since I typed the list. However, Elissa could choose not to read the entire list and still be surprised.

Unfortunately, that comes with the territory of being a coordinator: We don't get to be surprised.

Just a reminder from the rules: "USPS Priority Mail required. Get yourself a flat rate box and get your present mailed out by December 20." I guess revealing your identity would be up to you, but I think it's more fun if you don't! I will be sending mine anonymously.

All of the addresses have been sent out! Check your inbox! Please send me a message to confirm that you have received your address. Elissa has a master list of who got what name and she WILL enforce the rules!

Okay, everyone, I'm about to start sending out addresses. Everyone on my list had a number, and I mixed all the numbers up then went down the list and drew a number of each person. So it's completely random. And the person who you are sending a gift to is NOT who you will receive a gift from.

I've sent a PM and e-mail to BizzaroNumberOne. I don't have a real name or zip code. If you're reading this, please send me a message.

Okay, guys, just confirmed the last address received. We have 37 participants. I will start sending out addresses today! I'll post in here once they start going out, so be sure to check your inbox once I've started sending them.

Re-sent. Hopefully this time it'll actually work It worked! Hooray! We're up to 34 people now. Get your addresses in by Saturday!

A message stays in your outbox until the recipient reads it. Aaaah, thanks for clearing that up!

I just checked my inbox - dunno if you've sent one to me Brandy. But, if you have it hasn't come yet and it's two days later. Just thought I'd drop you a line. I never got your initial message with your address, so I sent you a message asking for it. I don't know why it's taking so long for messages to leave my outbox. I'll check again! EDIT: Nothing there. Not a message from you to me, or from me to you. Crazy! Try sending me your address again. If it doesn't work this time, send it through facebook.

I definitely would not want to live next to this house.

Just to update: We are currently up to 32 participants!

Thanks for the comments, everyone!
