The punishment inflicted on your Santa might be sweeter than a gift

Well I'm sure they knew the concequences, and have planned accordingly. Ah well, at least I know my Jackalope secret santa won't diss me.

Sorry dude - will they be posting who the offender is??? That kind of sucks. It sucks more knowing that they got gifts and you didn't. Is it certain that they did not come through? :(

Got the 2nd half of my gift from my Secret Santa! Some seriously high tech socks which are way cool, and a neat-o sram chain. Sweet! Thank you Secret Santa DRB! :thumb:
Those socks are kick a$$ and figured a mountain biker can always use a new chain. Glad you liked your stuff.

Ciaran said:
Kudos and thank you's to Stosh for organizing (And Stosh's GF too!) and to everyone who participated. Thanks to RM for approving the venture, and having the Monkey up and running to begin with. I am still new around here and this really let me get to know some monkeys better and made me feel welcome around here. Excellent!

Merry Christmas everybody!
DITTO.

Yay! I got my SS gift today! I think. I got a package with a really well designed pair of Specialized gloves. They have some padding in the outside area but none in the rest of the hand which is perfect. Normally I don't get the chance to see the Specialized stuff but these are definitely cool. I don't know who sent them though. :think:

So, do you have a guess or two? :devil: I am really glad I didn't write my explinations of where I got the ideas for them on your card.

I wore them last night on the trainer, the small padded area really works well. They are a little big, but I have a tendency to fry things in the dryer so I think they will be perfect :thumb:

I'll try! I had a problem with my wireless router so I can't get on the net with my laptop right now... and that's what my camera hooks up to. But I should be able to work something out.

When Stosh told me up front that we needed a punishment like banning in case someone flaked on this, I thought "nobody would flake would they?" Now it seems this may be the case. Pretty unfortunate.

For those few that are late, if Stosh doesn't get a tracking number by tomorrow morn we are going to have to consider the banning option clearly stated as a consequence of not taking this seriously.

This gives Scrooge a new meaning...

Just a few Props!

The first award for LATEST PACKAGE goes out to Douglas who has got to be the last person to send out his package. After weeks and weeks of fighting with the company he bought his gifts from he finally got them sent out. Not only did they never send his order but then when they did they sent wrong stuff. Not to mentioned he had them ordered from almost the first week of the contest.
So all in all he gets the latest gift sent award not due to his own fault.

The second one which is for BEST SPORT goes to Megan Black. Not only did she help to make this contest the success it was with her semi-provactive biking picture but she also ended up being Douglas's ELF. I think from the start Megan was one of the most excited participants. She made sure that her gift was NOTHING but pink, the only brown part of her gift the was the box it was sent in!!!! Even the packing peanuts were pink!!! Megan was totally understanding of Douglas's problems and even though she wanted her gifts more that Ralphie wanted his Red Rider BB gun she was very understanding and an awesome all around great sport.!!!

The third award goes to Ciaran for HARDEST WORKER after he had to send TWO gifts. You all might ask why did he send to gifts well in a strange circumstance his Elf had his package stolen off his front porch. Ciaran right away hoped on it and started dreaming up a new package to be sent ASAP as he didn't want his ELF to go without.

Everybody did AWESOME this year and I'm sure that I am forgetting some people who are in need of some awards for their work but these are three that stood out to me.

If you guys have awards for your S.S. Please feel free to let everybody know!!!

My santa didn't come through for me. I will have no gifts to open up on the big day.

The only thing that I can cling to is the lovely picture of megan. She isn't even my santa and she sent me a very special gift.
The picture even says that I rule :love: :love: :love:

I love you megan and I thank you so much!
