it's me again,
I hereby report the arrival of my UNSECRET SANTA'S PRESENT!!!!
I can't take a picture of the box since I followed Anne's instructions (open it, take out the "extra", close it and put it away until Christmas) ;)
I'm not saying what the "extra" was, don't want to make anyone jealous ;P (but IT. IS. AWESOME.!!!)
I just hope my parcel for Anne will make it to Texas in one piece *knock on wood*

Excellent, it was worth paying for the faster delivery, then!
Inside the box there is something extra and something wrapped for christmas, so it's ok to open the first level (i.e. the cardboard box). All the "legal to see before Christmas" stuff should be obvious ;^) |

Hey guys, what's with all these "extras" ??? No bending the rules I hope!
BTW, Lucia, your parcel went off this afternoon (it needed a bit longer to dry (!). I sealed everything up and then realised there was something on my desk that I hadn't put in, grrrr! So sorry about the awkward packaging, lol. |

Hey Moo, I just texted her (she's my sister) and told her to get in touch with you asap. |

No bending the rules, don't worry. It was a last minute idea I had. It cost me about 10 cents. I don't know if Lily wants to say what it is so that's all I'll say. |

nope, no bending the rules. If you read the rules again, it says that stuff that is unwrapped and specifically marked as a NO-CHRISTMAS-PRESENT-item may be used/eaten/whatever before Christmas ;P
I'm not saying what it was either, I'll wait a little longer before I tell you what Anne (literally) threw in for me ;P |

Alex, if you don't hear from your partner in the next week and I don't hear from mine, I'll send you a package:)
once again, sorry for the inconvenience... :-(
I was really busy with the exams and everything. But now, everything is alright! |

Just something small, that wasn't quite Christmas present material. |

WAIT! I just noticed that it says 'geburtstags geschenk inside!' Does that mean Im allowed to open it?? Im so confused! LILLLLY!
You lucky woman, you got two packages :) Did you open mine? Careful cos there's one present that I couldn't really wrap. The others are wrapped so there can be no untimely peeking... |
