**O-Face**

I wonder if I'll be the shafted one this year.  Well, that's sure an experience.  I'd still give though.

hmonkey

i have not yet been shafted, but i think people think i probably would take the time off to show up at their house.

MinM

hmo - I am 99% sure you have a file of everyone's SSN and back ups of every picture posted ever, if needed for future reference.

**O-Face**

Nevermind.  I actually have an elfster message regarding it.  But I will figure out who it is on Friday when I deduce who it is.  Maybe. 

Sposati

O, maybe it's just taking longer to get there than they expected.

I tried to time two gifts from two different companies to get to my recipient on the same day. But I think she's only gotten the first gift. I fail. Hopefully it's a similar situation with your gift.

Sposati

lol, then disregard my previous statement.

**O-Face**

I don't care necessarily, like I said, I would do it again regardless.

TheDuckis

I wonder if one of the people shafting Stinky and I on a thank you is also shafting you on your gift.

**Stinky!**

I was wondering the same thing, Duckis.

Cant_wait!

some people didn't mail until yesterday, O. I wouldn't worry just yet!

baconsmom

I haven't gotten mine, either. I was even sad that my makeup came today - I wanted it to be my SS present! Yes, eye shadow is nice, but it's not SS!

TheDuckis

It's really the only logical explanation. I'd be terribly embarrassed to make a gushing post about all the great stuff I got if I knew I hadn't bothered to send anything out yet.

**O-Face**

I'm not.  They said to keep an eye out for next week. NEXT WEEK!?!  ::sigh::  I guess I have no.other.option./dramatic pause

Cant_wait!

did people not understand the "exchange by" date?

NOLABridesmaid

This is why I get my gifts so early. I know that things can come up, and I would hate to be late getting it sent.

L_Woods

Honestly, I was super confused as to whether the 12/15 date was the date to send stuff, the date that stuff had to be received by or what. It was never really confirmed either. I can't be the only one that had that issue. (For the record I sent mine early because I was confused).

Cant_wait!

that's what I was thinking L. Next year we're going to have to be more clear so everyone's on the same page. I'm super excited for Friday!

Wifezzilla

you definitely weren't the only one, L.

 

i probably won't do it again if there is one next year. i hate that we have to wait so long for so many people to get their gifts, and i hate that i am still waiting!

**O-Face**

I don't mind waiting.

Wifezzilla

as long as these gifts arrive before the actual holiday i'll be happy.

Butter Cookie

I will get mine tonight. O, if you don't get anything I'll send you some baked goods, and pictures of my awesome cats.

DG1

Ugh. I was so stressed about this until I got it sent out.  I'd've been a nervous wreck if I didn't mail until the last minute.

My own holiday cards are not even here for me to address and send, but I made the SS a priority, because it *IS* really schitty not to get a gift. Thankfully, I do not know this from personal experience, but I know I'd be hurt/pissed/offended if I got shafted.

**O-Face**

It's coming next week.  That's what elfster said.  If it doesn't show up, I'm gonna f*ck elfster up.  Real BAD.

alikatt17

People, this is the third year we've done this.  The exchange date is the day we reveal as it has always been and always will be!  I'm pretty sure we've clarified that a gazillion times. 

**O-Face**

Yes.  I agree.  I think people just move it as they want to.

Butter Cookie

Wait, we had the gift exchange already?! *rushes to dollar store to buy fine chocolates*

Obviously not. I don't remember isht from year to year, especially when I'm not the one in charge.
