Okay Edwin. Give us a hint on yours.

[theedwin]

Hint: Watch Out AAT's!!!! :D

[Just Whisper]

Oh edwin, did you get a battery-sucking zombie elf? AAT's hate those things.

[Sickie Ickie]

Thanks to my secret santa. When we can, I'll post pics.

[chris]

[digbugsgirl]

Thank you Secret Santa (again!) ;) I certainly hope you didn't go over budget!!! I'm so excited!

[bethene]

well, it looks like every one has received their gifts, we can post who out SS was, and begin posting pics!!
My secret santa was Just Whisper, she sent me 2 fabulous ornaments, a snowman and a nutcracker, which I adore! I will get the pics posted later in the week, with the dial up, have to wait til get to another computer to post them!

[chris]

Mine was Bethene, I got ornaments that she hand made!!!!!!!!:littlepresent: A really cool Santa!!!!!!:happyfatsanta: Bethene did you hand make the Santa? The ornaments are awesome you do great work!!!!!:)

[digbugsgirl]

Mine was Sickie. I got an elf hat with ears (too cute), a small elf hat and small Santa hat that would fit my dogs perfectly, a magic Christmas towel, a dvd of classic Christmas movies, a Christmas cd, and a German smoker! surprise:

[Just Whisper]

Okay, do you remember the 3 hints I gave you?
1. It is red and white. 2. It looks to be of the male persuasion, has fur and a beak. 3. It is mostly believed to be a mythical "creature", and is capable of limited flight.

It is a carved Santa (male, of course), about 13" tall, wearing a long red robe with fur trim, standing in white snow, sporting his traditional white beard. He is holding a bird (with a beak) in one hand, and a lantern in the other. Of course, we all know Santa can only fly when his reindeer are pulling his sleigh, and many people do not believe he is real at all (Losers).

I have NO IDEA who my secret santa is. I tried to sleuth her out but she has no personal data available. Who are you Brandy?????think: Is that you DigBugsGirl?
Thank you so much for the beautiful Santa whoever you are. I just love it.

[chris]

JW it looks really nice!!!! And you still don't know who your secret santa is? LOL I believe in Santa!!!!:happyfatsanta:

[Just Whisper]

Chris, I only knew her real name and she lives in VA. But until today, I couldn't find anyone on our forum from VA. I even checked the halloween forums. LOL No matter. That is half the fun. So far it sounds like everyone got really fun and nice stuff. So lets see some pics you guys.

[digbugsgirl]

It's me JW! I hope you like it. I tried to find outdoor decorations, but I just didn't know where to begin. You mentioned you had a Santa collection, so when I saw that, I had to get it.

Sorry I made it so hard to figure me out! I didn't realize I had so little info about me on this forum and the halloween forum. At least I don't have to worry about any stalkers! lol

[Sickie Ickie]

Once again I have little time and have to head out making me no fun. :(

I'll try to get a pic by tomorrow of my stuff sent to me from....Edwin!

DBG, remember when I promised to send you the hats for your animated gift last year that I forgot to put in? Well, now you have the two hats. LOL

Tell the songs on your Christmas Music disc in Putrid's music thread. I'd like to know if he has any of those. LOL

[digbugsgirl]

Duh! I should've remembered that! I could also put them on my dogs! :) Thanks Sickie!

[Just Whisper]

LOL DBG. Stalkers....ha ha! It was funny because I knew all your "real" information, but had no online ID to pin it to. I looked on 3 forums and could not find anything that I could make a connection to. It was fun though, and I knew eventually I would figure it out or you would tell me. And I really do love it. Thanks for being so thoughtful.

[Sickie Ickie]

psssssssssssssttt...Edwin sent me a dougie! :D

[chris]

psssssssssssssttt...Edwin sent me a dougie! :D
LOL!!! A what:)

[Sickie Ickie]

an animatronic well known in the haunting community. A Douglas fir talking tree.

[theedwin]

Oh Stop Sickie!

Wait til you see what I do with the rest of them that I have!!!!

I hope you have fun hacking it Sickie! :D

Chris was my secret Santa, Thanks again Chris!!! I got some alligator clips (will come in handy when I get that new "bag"... (LOL) (JK) Actually I use them to hook wall warts to my AAT's for testing! A digital multimeter, (NICE!) a Helping Hands (will come in handy when I start soldering...) and a large set of the tiny screwdrivers. (that is my favorite!!!!) Can't tell you how hard it is to unscrew them little AAT's sometimes with the crappy screwdrivers I got at Dollar Tree!!!

All in all, I would say Chris did a better job Christmas shopping for me than my Mom does!!! :D :D :D
