I hope my Secret Recipient gets their gift today! I'm excited to hear about it. If we make it to the day do we want to let the cat's out of the bag? =D

That should be 'the' - not 'she' - thought I would point that out before Wyatt does !

Yeah I guess that first part was a silly question, since we already know what the gifts are as they arrive, I think we already know who all the SS are don't we? :lol:

Trailmix...I assure you that I saw it awhile ago, but I decided to let it slide out of pure Christmas spirit. ;)

I've got a pretty good guess. Process of elimination, you know! :lol:
