Yep. Everything's purchased and boxed. Figured I would get it ready now as I'm sure I will be less than on top of things when the baby gets here. Expected him by now, but apparently he is inheriting his mother's stubbornness. At any rate, I'll be dropping mine in the post in the 7th. Happy holidays all.
 
Pretty much ready to go. Was gonna throw it some egg nog, but I figured it'd be bad by the time it got there ;)
 
The elves are bringing the last of it in. Santa's back is gonna be hurting with this loot! :santa: :santa: :santa: 
 
Got all the baccy picked. Time to pick out some local treats to send out to my target, no fun unless it's personal.
 
Ready to pack, unless something else catches my eye over the next week or so
 
I have meticulously gone over all of the tobacco I have. I have ordered more. I have carefully labelled, and dated everything. I have taken only the best and purest, most wonderful and sought after stuff for myself, my my secret santa should get a wonderful package of crap I don't want.

:lol!: :lol!: 
 
I am about half finished with mine. I have one more thing to get and a few details to see to. This is gonna be good, I can't wait!!
 
I've had all the tobacco and tobacco-related stuff ready to pack for about a week...have a few little odds-n-ends to toss in yet, but I'm pretty much just staring at the calendar waiting for an appropriate shipping date.
 
We are now about a week from the target mailing date for most of us. There is some leeway. The Postal Service is claiming to be able to deliver Priority Mail even pretty close to Christmas day and still be on time. But I would not push it. This could be the year that cyber sales go though the roof and overload the shipping services.

I am mostly prepared. Just a simple boxing and hauling into the Post Office. :santa: 
 
I can't remember and I looked at the rules again , but are we allowed to ship live monkeys? err I mean are we supposed to send you the DC number after we ship?

Just post that you have shipped here in this thread. You can Pm me a tracking number and how many live monkeys it was if you like. Just keep the tracking number handy so if something should go missing we can quickly check on it and all be on the same page.
 
Live monkeys are quite questionable...but magical FLYING monkeys are totally a different and appropriate thing. I'm pretty sure that's the official position of the board as well. So in terms of magical flying monkeys...you're cool.

This +1
 
Ready to box and drop at the PO this Friday (easier than over the weekend.) Unfortunately intel was only able to come up with minimal specifics, so the package is going to contain only tobacco, both tinned and rolled. On the plus side I've diverted all of the budget assigned to "cool non-tobacco stuff" to tobacco, so the contents will be of rather high quality.

Oh, and I might individually gift wrap every packing peanut, but we'll have to see about that. :twisted:
 
The sleigh is packed and ready to depart. Now I wait for the right date to send off Rudolph and company.
 
I just received a report of the most alarming nature from Santa's workshop.  The elves had a horrible machine malfunction last night (don't worry.....no one was injured :D  ).  Production has been delayed by several days :evil:   Have no fear, parts have been ordered and they should resume production on Friday evening.  Things will be finished up over the weekend and I will mail my package on Monday morning.


And I can't believe no one got froggy and shipped early this year :cheers: 
 
ohhhh I thought about shipping it early. but I figured I should follow the rules and guidelines.
so everything is here ready to ship. I must say I am very excited for this.
 
Almost ready to go...and a different Secret Santa Swap I was involved in, may have been cancelled, so you never know...my recipient may get oodles of extras...

Gotta go finish something up...
