Well I finally got mine out, hopefully it will be enjoyed. It was a bit difficult for me to figure out what to get, but when I finally did I was proud of myself for being "original". I hope the person really enjoys it.
As far as the post office goes, thats easy. Return address: Bob Smith, 100 Main Street, etc.....
granted if it was to come back you wouldn't get it, but I figure that's kinda rare anyways.
I just was reading the beginning of this thread and realized that Darlene is NOT on the Santa list! There seems to be a tremendous shortcoming here. She is the one that set the whole thing up and is not on the gift list! If anyone is interested she really needs socks bad, all of hers have holes in them (this bit of info leaked out in another thread). I can even come up with an address to send them too (many of us already have it since she is the one that did a lot of the work on the raffle).
Not much time left, but here is an opportunity to thank the forum mom for the work she has put into the community.

Thanks Santa I got a silver diecast fiero which I only had a red one so thats cool. I got some DVDs about fieros but I don't have time to watch them right now (christmas party tonight) a matchbax fiero and they sent my daughter her first barbie oh I got something from victoria's secret too in a very beautiful box I think it may be Janell cause she's the only one I know of from CA thats posted in this thread. Besides very few men can write that nice or think of such nice gifts unless they had their wife do it Anyway thanks again whoever you are.
I just want to thank a certain individual for sending me a wonderful gift.
Thanks Jim (smartaxle) for thinking of me and sending it my way. Did you or your wife pick it out? How was your stay in Jersey. I see you mailed it from Toms River, that's about 15 minutes from where I deliver mail.
I truly appreciate the fact that you took the time to send me that.
My husband will be glad too, he always tells me I stink!! Now I have smelly stuff to put on so I don't !! It smells good too, not to strong but not so soft you can't smell it.
Thanks again!!
Dar

Mine came in today. I am at a loss for words thanks. Really I think this person is stalking me. I got a mechanical oil gage, I have an electric one but was going to hook up a mechanical gage in the back just to verify the electric gage. I got powder coated ashtrays, I quit smoking and put change in them now. I tried to paint the ones I have and they came out terrible. I got a dress up cap for my EGR valve. I was just looking at mine and thinking about painting it. I also got a brad nailer. I will be putting that to good use putting up paneling this summer. (Harbor freight is one of my favorite stores)
Now this is how I know I am being stalked. My wife is very jealous and there were 3 stuffed bears in the box and a big chocolate bar.
I received mine yesterday in the mail, and I am dying to see what I got, though I am gonna wait till x-mas morning to do it........ Also sent out mine this afternoon, so it should be there in time, or just a couple days after... Last night on the news they said this was the busyiest time of the year for mailed items, and I didn't ask when it would be delievered, though I did pay for the 3 day delivery..........Hope it makes it there on time!!

Well, I got the Secret Santa package today, and I really feel badly about the packaging job that I did on the SS package that I sent out. I was afraid that it was not going to get there in time, so I rushed to the PO and filled the box with the items that I thought would make as great surprise gifts.
Talking about surprises, I want to thank my Santa, who apparently is also from my address as it was the same one listed for package returns. Why didn’t "I" think of that??
Anyhow, this is what was in the box:
While I was trying to set up the great gifts for a photo shoot, one of the items that were in the box somehow started to run away!
I just wanted to personally thank my Santa - & being that I don’t have a lick of will power, I’m sure that by nights end I will have tore into the gifts. Curiosity is starting to get the best of me, and it's still 4 days till Christmas! AGH!!
My mother-in-law actually gave us a choice of about three that were her favorites (she's a major shopper, so she took us to the "cool" stores)t. We then smelled them on her arms. (man, she stunk after all those mixed). We choose our favorite from those three.
Thanks for doing this for all of us.. Just wanted to make sure you got a <semi-secret> Santa gift too. Merry X-mas.

Pfffft I ripped mine open before I took my jacket off.
While I do think there are come Christmas cheaters on here (did your mom let you open the Christmas presents as she put them under the tree or did you have to wait till Christmas?) I think I am glad that I did not wrap everything separatly! Actually, I think you get off the hook here since the inner stuff was all in togeather. The animals were the anti-rattle material for the rest of the stuff. LOL
I'm still anxiously waiting for Santa to send me stuff!
I got an awesome present! :-) A tape of the 1984 Indy 500 (highlights) and a Fiero keychain! How neat...now I have to figure out who is in NY and if their wife works at Staples.....(Hmmm who was it that was looking for that tape in another thread...???? :-)) I've narrowed it down to the following:
BigRed Bobadoo Funk FieroRumour (doubtful because there was nothing strange...:-)) $Rich$ FieroFreak UDLose F-I-E-R-O
Those people either live in NY or didn't list an address....Now for the detective work!

I'm gonna say F-I-E-R-O...'cause I found this quote in a recent thread:
"I just contacted the Indianapolis Raceway Brickyard Authentics Online Store and ordered a VHS of the 1984 race. Michelle in customer service told me that it was about an hour long and was basically a highlights version of the race featuring qualifying footage, interviews..."
Thanks F-I-E-R-O!

We received our Secret Santa gift yesterday. (When I say we, I mean BigRed88 found out about it and wants to share! ). It is a cool Fiero shirt along with a scented candle & fountain to help sooth my frazzled nerves. Somebody must know me pretty well (just finished with our 2005 financial audit at work LOL) Definitely in need of some healing time!
As to the Secret Santa's identity, I scanned the note and ran it through our state of the art handwriting analyzer.
I was sure that the machine was stumped because it kept coming back with the same result every time,...That the note was not written by human hands! Hmm, I puzzled over this for quite a while when if finally dawned on me. This note had to be the product of our beloved champion of champions and crime fighter extraordinaire, the Banaman!. It's all clear to me now, he was apparently visiting his good friend Jerry Sadlo at the time the package was assembled as Jerry's name is in the return address on the box. I know from past experience that these two frequently hang together. They both love skateboarding and are often seen making appearances at the same place, but slightly different times.
Bananaman, wherever you are out there, if you're reading this, thanks a bunch!

Hi Angie, This is your Secret Santa. Yes you were right, Santa had some help by Mrs. Claus! Your gift was a combined effort and we are glad you are enjoying it. Have a safe and happy holiday!

OK, I got a box in the mail today. Came from a lawyer in Pittsburgh. I opened the box and found that Santa appears to be working for an attorney. The biggest hint I have is the name Thomson, Rhodes & Cowie, P.C.
I got a cool magnet hold down, don't loose it thing and a gift certificate. Thanks.
oh I got something from victoria's secret too in a very beautiful box 
Anyway thanks again whoever you are.
Nobody loves me...
