Virago Secret Santa: Countdown and Arrivals 2020

Have you received something interesting in the post?

Do say, because after you've shopped and packaged and posted your gift all you want to know is that it reached its destination safely.

But please don't say who you think sent it - there will be a 'Virago Secret Santa: Opening !!!' thread for that.

A parcel will soon be dispatched from The Book Depository to my VSS with 'VIRAGO SECRET SANTA' in the address line. I'm sorry that it isn't wrapped! You'll have to be on your best behaviour and set it aside until opening day! 🎄🎁 💚📚

A parcel has just arrived!
As instructed I will keep it safe to open at Christmas.
Thank you so much Santa.

Excited to say a parcel has just arrived - really well wrapped to keep it safe in the sleigh on the ride across the Atlantic, but then Santa always knows what to do. The prettily wrapped contents are now set aside for the opening.

Twelve more sleeps!

Another envelope sized package has been dispatched to my VSS also with 'Virago Secret Santa' in the address line. Now do your best once again, and set it aside for the big day! 😉🎄📚

I'm delighted to report that my parcel from Secret Santa arrived earlier this week and has been placed under the Xmas Tree. Thank you, VSS :)

A wonderful looking parcel arrived here today, brightening up a cold, dull WFH morning. A lovely pile of parcels sitting under my tree. Thank you lovely Santa, I am sure I know who you are, but won't reveal it yet. 😁

I have had a series of parcels that I think must be VSS :D One definitely is, and the others look likely. Or I might just have forgotten buying myself a book!

appear to be the only people yet to receive a parcel. Alvaret and LisaMorr, have you seen anything pop through yet?

Nothing here yet, but considering that anything sent here has to pass through customs I wouldn't be surprised by a 2-3 weeks delivery time.

>19 bleuroses: Oh Cate I'm so sorry, I got mixed up with my Recording Angel job and thought you had had yours (I saw you'd sent them, I think that's where I went wrong). I can confirm that I have mine, and Alvaret is still waiting.

It has it's own special place underneath our Christmas Tree.
Can't wait til Friday! 💚🎄

Look what's arrived! And in time for a (very) brief time of glory under the very improvised Christmas tree.
I will open them very soon together with the last of the glögg (mulled wine) and lussekatterna (saffron buns). Will report in the other thread afterwards. Thank you Santa!
