Oh..I'm glad part of it arrived before Christmas. Well, Dover certainly gets a bonus for getting that there so fast. And it's hard to say 'please charge that to A Trial Elf's credit card'....so real name it is. don't worry, all will be revealed in a week or so. And of course there is more. P.S. That is truly a 'use it when Wealthia is gross' pad so your fancy one from RR last year can be kept nice.

I think it's possible that my elf reads minds! I got a wonderful delivery from my postal lady today, in a nice BIGGGG box! My kids anxiously watched as I opened the box, and they were greeted with presents right on top for them (which of course they promptly tore into!) They got the cutest little teddy bears, which they are playing with as we speak! As I dug deeper, I found two awesomely big wine glasses and a bottle of Beaujolais and a BIG, I mean BIG, box of Chocolate Truffles near the bottom...then we kept digging and came across a great BIG (theme??) cookbook! My elf is truly a mindreader because there could be no more perfect gift for me than a great cookblook, red wine, chocolate and something to occupy my kids while I partake! SO AWESOME! THANK YOU!! Unfortunately one of the winen glasses broke en route but that's ok, I only need one ![]() Now for my elf's identity.....hmmmmm, package came postmarked Middleburg, VA.....and there is a cute little drawing on my card of a horse and rider, with the rider wearing what looks like a top hat and side saddle habit.....hmmmmmmmm......I'm throwing out a guess......Sidesaddlerider??????? Whoever you are Elf, please identify yourself because you did an awesome job and made me very happy this Christmas Eve! Thank you!! |

Retired4Now, so glad you liked everything. I was sad not to meet you but hubby's very cute...you are quite right! Jump The Moon was with me too (my daughter Kate). We can get together at your barn or mine, one of these days! I didn't tell Lisa that I was your SS but I did mention it to Kathy. She actually did some detective work because I was going to get you a show leadshank with nameplate but she found out for me that you already have one. It was awesome having you live so close to me and I may not have discovered that if we hadn't done SS so that was a blast Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Since my darling BT has not mentioned it I am guessing that no package has arrived for her yet? I'm so bummed. I sent it I promise. |

Yippee! I finally got to open my presents. A great big THANK YOU to my SS, Plaza Suite who sent me two saddle pads (one tie dye, and one with my name on it), some wild Zocks, chocolate, more chocolate, dog treats, cat treats and horse treats. You're a great elf! Merry Christmas! |

Thank You ImJumpin for the awesome pressies!!!! First, there was a little box direct froim Greenhwawk, with matching polos and earnet (no pics- they are at the barn still waiting for me to get my camera out there!). Next, came this HUGE box! ![]() All the pressies were placed under the tree, but one attrcted much attention: ![]() The new doxie was verrrrry intrigued! ![]() She decided it was most definatly doxie worthy. IOW, mine MINE MINE!! But it is not Christmas for two days! There is nothing left to do but wait.. ![]() Wait..... ![]() Wait... ![]() Finally the big day! And all the pressies were opened! The tin contained yummy horse treats (with only a few appropriated by a nosy little dachshund). There were two lovely little tins of Doggie Dessert for the nosemeister and the cutest poodle ever, followed by a really cool Kensington saddle cover (totally just what I needed!!) in a gorgeous pink plaid pouch, a really cool pink Epona massage curry (Hesta is SO into being groomed since she was clipped- she will LOVE it, I love the pink!), an aweseome Mark Todd saddle pad from eng-er-land!! wow!!!! British stuff!!!!! ARGH! and an incredibly huge snuggly soft awesome Perdue hoodie!!!!! ARRRGGHH!!!!! YAY!!! I LOVE my stuff!!! Thank you ImJumpin SO much!!!!!! Totally awesome choices!!!!!!!!!![]() Edit to add: my ginormous awesome hoodie (it says PURDUE at the top of the hood, too)(ahem.. that is not a snide look, that is the oh-so-elusive sun in my eyes!) ![]() Edited by OnyxThePony, Dec 25 2008, 03:14 PM.

Onyx, those pictures of your dachsund staring down that tin were priceless!! You look pretty good yourself! ImJumpin is an awesome secret santa isn't she? She was my de-grincher on COTH last year. Pony4Me was my awesome SS here on TOC last year. I wish I'd had time to participate this year but reading these posts have been fun! |

Awwww OTF (and otb!!) Yep!! I"m a spoiled lucky elf, I tell ya! Justmagic, are you around? Did you recognize the new dashie's collar??? That's right.. my super SS from last year jm gave me a Coach collar for Arthur that DH would NOT allow him to wear.. he kept taking it off saying "This is too special!!! He can't wear it to the barn (on a walk, outside the house, etc etc); it'll get DIRTY!!!!". So.. I keep sneaking it on he keeps sneaking it off..... then along comes a special little doxie.. and just when I was about to go buy her an all new special collar, I decided to sneak the Coach on her, and hubby is so head over heels in love with the little dog, that he left it on!!!! One spoiled.. spoiled.... spolied little dog.. and yes, she did watch that tin for two whole days! |

I'm glad you liked your gifts Pony4me! I was hoping the tie dye pad colors would come out a little bit better but i was afraid they would mix to much. The brown looked a little bit purpley but i really liked the design and i didn't want to ruin it. I hope you and your family had a wonderful christmas and i had a ball shopping for you.
