Nothing crazy. Total was like $30USD. I watched the tracking go from India to JFK to within 10 miles of my house only for it to next pop up in....BOSTON....over 400 miles away! The package has just left Boston today. Made it 3810 miles almost to it's destination and then did a complete 180 and started north 😛 Who knows where it will end up next! 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted November 17, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2023 I've just been to the post office. My gift is on its very long way to the other side of the globe, and I hope it will arrive safely and in time for Saturnalia. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtisimo Posted November 17, 2023 · Supporter Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 Happy to see everyone getting in the Saturnalia spirit! I just wanted to remind everyone that there is still time to enter. We will have one more round of pairings on Dec. 1. Io Saturnalia!!! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shea19 Posted November 18, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2023 IO Saturnalia! Happy to report that my gift has just arrived in the mail. I think this may be the earliest that I’ve ever gotten my gift…will do my best to wait until Saturnalia to open it up. Thank you to my Secret Saturn for getting it out to me so fast! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benefactor kirispupis Posted November 22, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted November 22, 2023 Mine was unfortunately delayed due to Covid and some issues with the address, but I'm happy that it finally went out this morning. I believe it should still arrive on time. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qcumbor Posted November 22, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted November 22, 2023 Whoever my Secret Santa is, they ought to know something unexpected arrived today in the mail bearing the inscription "Io Saturnalia". I do think it might be related to the Secret Santa business .... 😉 To my Secret Santa : you can breathe again now !!! Q 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted November 23, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted November 23, 2023 I just received an unexpected envelope from a lovely neighboring country, and I very much suspect it to be from my Saturn. (Looking at the sender's address, I have somewhat of a hunch who it is.) Now I have to wait and resist the temptation of opening it right away! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordmarcovan Posted November 25, 2023 · Member Share Posted November 25, 2023 It seems I must wait until December 1st to be paired. The anticipation of that alone is strong. Though I’m not yet paired, I already have a good idea what I’m going to send my future partner, unless I discover they’re really passionate about something else. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have one final group of pairings to do. I thought it safer to wait and do one larger pairing instead of two smaller ones. Right now we have a good number of people for everyone in the second round to have domestic shipping. 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dafydd Posted November 26, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted November 26, 2023 I have a packet on my desk that possibly has travelled the farthest. All the way from Australia roughly 9500 miles. My Secret Saturnalia will know who they are and this is an acknowledgment that the packet arrived safely. I have resisted the temptation to open it and will wait for the day. I was wondering about a role reversal on the day and asking my wife to do the cooking for a change. Maybe not...... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtisimo Posted November 28, 2023 · Supporter Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Announcement I have had some work items come up that I anticipate will keep me pretty tied up at the end of this week through the weekend so I am going to close the entry period just a few days early. That way there is no further delay in getting the last of the pairings done. If you have been on the fence you can still sign up until 9:00 PM CT on Nov. 28 (about 21 hours from now). I have changed the OP to reflect the change. Io Saturnalia!! Edited November 28, 2023 by Curtisimo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordmarcovan Posted November 30, 2023 · Member Share Posted November 30, 2023 Rec'd my assignment and my outgoing gift has now begun its transit to the opposite side of the globe. I hope it reaches its destination by the 17th (I'm optimistic that it will). 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furryfrog02 Posted November 30, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2023 Only 18 more days until I can finally open the letter on my desk. Getting real tired of it laughing at me every day. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expat Posted November 30, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) Nothing received so far. Still plenty of time though, and less time for it to tease me. Edited November 30, 2023 by expat 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
