As soon the mail carrier asked me to sign for something, I knew my package arrived. :D
So, what was inside? An amazing assortment of gifts!
First, I couldn't resist the call of that wooden box. Here's what was inside:
According to the note that accompanied the package, it's an ornate pencil holder. You can see the small dragon mural embedded into the sides. Fantastic!
Next up, I unraveled the wooden scroll. Here's the panoramic view of the whole thing (it's rather long!)
There was also the portrait of my name. According to the note, it was drawn in Shanghai's Yuyuan Garden, done in traditional Chinese styles.
Next, I unrolled the three scrolls. A winter scene, a dragon, and a portrait of Wang Zhou Jun (a famous consort from Chinese history):
Finally, candy! Om nom nom...
Terrik , I'm speechless. Thank you so very much. This was an amazing gift!
 
Yes, sorry I've been pretty busy and unable to take pictures. It is here though and.it is awesome! I've got it on my mantle!

Thank you so much for it, too. It's awesome.
 
I'm following up with one person, but everyone else has sent a gift!

If you have received a gift, PLEASE post about it ASAP. Your secret Santa worked hard to give you that unbelievably awesome gift, and they want to bask in your appreciation.

Help them bask! Post some pictures!

PRESENTS!


So, Far I got this note from you, and you're so crazy! You didn't have to worry about that... Thanks for the adorable card!!


I've been showered with gifts! Truly this is a Southern gal kit. ;) I love love LOVE corn-nut type snacks. I had a big handful of these before Christmas shopping tonight. Thanks so much for everything! Jake's birthday is this weekend, so we'll probably watch the movie. :D
[DOUBLEPOST=1355370666][/DOUBLEPOST]JEE-sus, sorry, those pics are huge.
 
Glad you enjoyed them Cajungal. Not sure what's going on with the intended stuff. I ordered them weeks ago and they said they shipped out to me shortly after, and I paid for expedited shipping, but I've seen nothing about them. Even the tracking number that I did get isn't functioning. But when they do arrive I'll make sure they get to you.

Funny. I only sent out the replacement stuff Friday and you already have it as opposed to the original gifts that have a two week head start on them to get to me.

I'm sorry for your shipping trouble. And you didn't have to get extra stuff, but it was really sweet of you. I'm really going to enjoy them. :)

this.



I shamed my ancestors by not posting sooner.

I also got the Survivor's guide but am steering clear of it for right now until I get caught up because spoilers.

Great! You got it! I was worried it wouldn't make it in time (and intact). Glad you like the gifts :D

Picture 3: that looks less like a thing you hold pencils in and more like a thing you keep souls in.
Well I couldn't very well write "soul catcher" on the customs manifest ;)

I admit, when I first saw it I was a little worried. The outside box had seen better days... it was battered all to hell. The thing looked like it came from a war zone. But you (or whomever) did the packaging perfectly so nothing was damaged on the inside.

It was the combined efforts of me, Jun, the postal lady and a security guard who apparently had nothing better to do (like guarding the post office, for instance). It was an hour of pure Christmas joy.

I just got an E-mail that your gift had a problem and it won't be shipping from the manufacturer until at least the 20th. They've offered me a full refund. If you want I can tell you what it is and if it's not worth the wait to you I can get you something else.

I don't mind waiting, it's cool. I was already incredibly amused with the socks.

Jay, I just want you to know that your gift is somewhat of a filler; I realized that I wouldn't be able to finish making your gift before the deadline, so I've sent you something else. I'll finish soon and send out what I had planned for you ASAP.

I appreciate the update, I look forward to seeing what you got me, and try to deduce who this mystery person is! :p
