Wow quite the journey. sent mine on the 12th of December and it finally got there a few days ago.....I hate standard could try mail.
I think I'm the only one here from Brazil, so I'm guessing you are my Secret Santa... [emoji12]Well I found that after more than one month in transit my secret santa parcel is at least in the right country so hopefully the recipient will have something to open any day now.

I haven't, but its on it's way. Same thing with the gift I've sent. It arrived in it's country of destiny.Okay! Step 1 (and some of you have already posted or I know about but I'll put everyone here anyway)
@dlambert @420blackadder @picosbeak123 @joshvanrad @Boris K @The Cog @TheDon @bihyeon
Can you please let me know if you have received your gift.
If not, I will check your Santas to see if they sent me tracking numbers and we'll proceed from there.
@Ash thank you so much for volunteering to be a backup Santa. Once I get confirmation that they didn't receive anything I'll send you their details.
Santa must be running late here. He hasn't shown up at my place yet.Okay! Step 1 (and some of you have already posted or I know about but I'll put everyone here anyway)

Sadly it's your Santa that is MIA. I've sent your info to a backup Santa so you'll probably be later in January. Sorry about that!
Just noticed that DrscifiProps has been banned. is this as a direct result of non SS involvement or did something else happen in the mean time?
Who had him as a recipient? Did you send it? Do you know if it arrived and most importantly.....What was it and do you have pictures for us all to be envious of?
I was scared that I would get banned. I had just started a new job, I took over running an industry meetup, I was building bookshelves for our house and I wasn't happy with the work I was doing on my SS gift. But I finally got it done and sent, although quite late. This year I plan to make sure my plate is clear for November and December. As much as I can anyway.Real shame there are people like that here but I guess they are everywhere. it's not like he couldn't have backed out if he changed his mind before it was too late....but to obviously ignore messages about it?....wow.
let me know if anything goes missing in transit Michael and i'll join Ash as a stand in SS. My SS gift to one of the named above was signed for by the recipient on the 5th so i'm fairly confident He has it. Unless there is an imposter at his house who signed for it in his name of course......it could happen..... I watch movies too.

Honestly, anyone who keeps in communication with me and isn't outright out to scam the system has no fear of being banned. I like to give EVERY opportunity for people, even if they're having a rough time, to find a way through this that doesn't end in punishment. There have been people in the past who have had issues and 99.9% of the time we are able to work it out.
Anyhow, I think that takes away from what this is really about so I'd rather not dwell on it.
No worries. Thanks for the backup Santa stepping in.
Don't mention it @joshvanrad, everyone who sent a gift should receive a gift in my opinion, I mean that's why we do this every year. Also seeing how it's not much of a "secret" any longer, if you read through the messages in the post I'll go ahead and reveal that I'm your replacement Secret Santa. I'll be putting something together as soon as possible and sending it along your way. Good news is, after receiving your shipping information it appears we're only a state away from each other, so once it's in the mail it shouldn't take long for you to receive it and get your little dose of the RPF holiday spirit.
Happy Holidays-
Ash
