Hmmm. . . .
I was the Secret Santa for katie_070405.
I sent her package on 12/2/08 with Delivery Confirmation, and according to the tracking on USPS online, she received it on 12/4/08.
Label/Receipt Number: 0307 1790 0004 0583 3053
Detailed Results:

Arrival at Unit, December 04, 2008, 8:43 am, COOKEVILLE, TN 38501
But she hasn't even posted on this Secret Santa thread since posting her "Want List." So I know she got it. But she didn't bother to post that she received it. I think it would have been nice of her to post in the thread that she at least acknowledged that she received the gift. It kind of sucks when someone signs up to participate in something, but then doesn't bother to follow-up/follow thru with letting us know that they received the items. I don't even know if katie_070405 liked the items I sent her. But it would have been nice to at least get a "thank you." I dunno. Maybe I'm asking too much here??? If I am, I can't help how I feel. Afterall, I put a lot of effort in trying to put together her gift package.
I just hope that if people decide to continue to participate in future gift exchanges, all of the recipients at least acknowledge the receiving of their gifts. I also feel bad for some of the remaining elfs who haven't gotten their packages yet. USPS is still trying to play "catch up" with delivering left over holiday packages. I know, b/c I'm just now receiving some of my xmas presents thru the mail. But then again, WA state had a pretty bad snow storm and for a couple of days mail delivery was cancelled. So if you are still one of the ones waiting for x-mas presents thru the mail, maybe it'll come soon. Or maybe it got lost??? That's why whenever I send any kind of package, I always use some type of tracking to make sure I know the recipient received the pkg.
