As for Dave saying our package not arriving yet in fairness the postal service has not made any deliveries since the 24th and as that was a Saturday the parcel postman does not usually come round on a Saturday. May be today (Wednesday) as it is the first non Holiday day.

Regardless they really smell good! #12 pretty red candle holders. I like these a lot!! #13 Large desk Organizer. Very cool. Love this! and #14 is Sugar Plum Spice Holiday Herb Tea! I should have waited for the end. Yum. Thank you so so so much!! You've been a super secret pal. And someday, we'll actually be on at the same time and get to chat. Yay Roberts1398!!!! THANK YOU!!!

Originally Posted By roberts1398 Piper, I'm so glad you FINALLY got this. I'm so sorry it was late, but I always kinda enjoy late gifts... it's like an additional holiday! Hope you enjoy all of the goodies. Slippers were a pretty odd gift, but they looked so cozy, and I was pretty sure you lived on an island in the Sound, so thought they'd be useful! Oh, and the candles are Hazelnut. They got a little dinged up... My 6 yr old insisted on helping me take in the bags from the car, and the weight/shape of that bag just MADE him swing it like a... slingshot? and ... well... I'm sure you get the picture! I'm sorry I wasn't online at the time, but I'm so glad you enjoyed your belated Christmas. Did I say Christmas? I meant to say NEW YEARS! You thought I was late -- but really I was a day early! At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Hope you have an awesome New Year. I'm home nursing a Cold (yes, after Strep, then Bronchitis/Pneumonia, I now have a COLD. Jeez, you'd think I'd get a LITTLE break, LOL!). But I'm EATING my cold away, lol, making homemade fish tacos, carnitas, guacamole... general yummy munchy night! Take Care, Diane
Originally Posted By roberts1398 And LOL, forgot to tell you... cleaning up yesterday I found your card that should have been inside the package.
