I will update the list later tonight.

List Updated.

Just wanted to give and update. My recipient has received 2 out of 3 and the 3rd is still on the way expecting a delivery date on the 20th. Sorry for the long wait erockets made a mistake on the shipping apparently and I was really starting to worry if it would make it on time. I ordered all 3 on the 3rd and by the time it is recieved it will have been 17 days to get there. Tis the season lol at least it will get there in time to get put under the tree. Congrats Mike on the win!! Can't wait until Christmas I have been wanting to rip this box open so bad. My wife said she is watching the tape and my kids are doing a great job keeping me honest lol I think they are having just as much fun with it as I am. ,

Sounds like me, I'm as bad as my young kids. My wife shakes her head.

Someone beside me tell Mrs Elf that the Do not open until Christmas rule applies to her too. She's been begging me to let her open her gifts early!

Yes this rule also applies to Mrs Elf. Remember... "Woe to the one that opens their gift early". You don't want to be on the naughty list.

Still waiting on my gift. Benefit is at least it isn't staring at me waiting to be opened yet.

 

[emckee]

Right there with you! Starting to get anxious...

 

[brockrwood]

Secret Santa present received. Thank you, Santa!

 

[n3tjm]

Thank you to all who contributed to the shipping costs. Please remember to report when you receive your gift. From what I can tell, everyone has reported ordering their gifts, but there will be delays with some of the orders. It is my wish that everyone gets gift in time for Christmas.

The Papa Elf special still shows a Christmas Delivery Data, but it looks like it did not leave Lancaster, PA until this moring.

I have to keep a close eye out on Mrs Elf. She really wants to open her gifts early. She tried to use the excuse the tape is coming off... nope. Don't touch that present. We don't need any Woe around here.

More people should post pics of their received packages

Well, I was planning on taking picture of it once I get back from my trip so I can officially open up the box and lay everything out to take a pictures of all the goodies in the box. But anyway, here is a pic that my wife sent me when she asked if I ordered somthing:

Ta-da!

 

[Jtgreig]

I can officially say the my recipient finally received the last of my gift after 17 days! So much stress gone , here is my package my wife wrapped it up the other day and she is tormenting me with the fact that she knows lol!!

 

[0011001100]

I've got a package with lots of warning not to open early
Shall have my girlfriend wrap the box and I will open it with my family on christmas day.

 

[dr wogz]

Mine is a [very generous!] gift certificate..

carefully deciding what I want!!

 

[Michael L]

I can confirm that Santa has delivered. My poor other workbench is in sad shape, for now. If anyone is wondering why there's a measuring tape on an electronics bench, it's for measuring resistance

 

[bronicabill]

I would post my received gift but am out of town until Saturday (Christmas day (how convenient!)).

Will post a pic when I get back in town and have a few minutes available!

 

[JLP1]

Got all of mine now just waiting for Saturday, 2 small packages and one nice large one very much like a rocket kit might be inside.

 

[mikewrt]

My wife and kids wrapped it up with a bow on top.

 

[emckee]

Received a package today, but the dog says it isn't a rocket. I think the dog is on to something...

Still anxiously awaiting arrival...

 

[emckee]

Woohoo! Something arrived from Mach1 this morning! Mark me as received!

Under the tree it will go!

 

[beeblebrox]

Received package today!!!

 

[n3tjm]

List is updated. I am a little concerned about the Papa Elf Special. Tracking still shows a Christmas Eve delivery, but as of 4pm today it was in New Jersey. Unless they decided to put it on a plane, I do not think it can de driven from NJ to AZ in one day. So, yeah. Sorry about that.

Tonight I finished making and decorating my immediate families cookies

Thanks. That's the way my whole month has gone.

My Secret Santa was especially good to me!! Wow, three great kits and that Flight Systems Viking 1 has got some age on it. It's in pristine condition. As much as it will be hard to open that package, my Secret Santa asked that I build and fly it. I'll honor his wishes!
Thanks so much, Secret Santa and also Papa Elf for making this fun happen.
