Low post counts doesn't necessarily mean we dont listen to the show, dont read all of the new forum posts, and dont donate monthly. I also certainly doesn't mean we are not experienced brewers and we automatically make crappy beer.

While it may sound like complaining to some, and I know some people are busy, but we all signed up for the same thing and the package I sent arrived at its location 10 days ago.

That being said. Im sure my package is in the mail and will be arriving soon.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. I will continue to lurk on the forums and post when I have something useful to add.

Long and short of it is this: Everyone be nice, be patient and your beer will get to you. Unless the UPS guys drank it. Cheers and enjoy!

I hope the UPS guys aren't catching on to the whole "Yeast Samples" labeling.

I've been doing this for four years. There are always people who ship late, or not at all. For crying out loud, we got our Secret Santa victim's--er, I mean, recipient's name on 12/5, and the whining started on 12/6!

In the four years I've been participating, I don't think I have heard so many variations on the "I haven't got mine yet, so I'm not shipping until I do" theme. Christmas Day must be busy for you: Opening your gifts, running to the store to get gifts for the people who gave you stuff.

Me, I'm going to enjoy the holidays and not worry about it. Capt. Kirkles sent me the tracking number, but I haven't used it. If it arrives it arrives, if it doesn't it doesn't, and there's not a damn thing I can do about it.

Well said.
Damn...I wish Dirk had pulled my name. With a post count over 4800, his beer must be better than Jamil's and Tasty's combined :D

Let's just hope your package isn't delivered by this guy:

I was just saying that if your going to sign up for this, then do what you said you would do. I have already sent mine, and I have confirmed that it already arrived. I really wasn't complaining, my true intention was to bump Secret Santa thread back to the top to remind people to get on sending their items. I wont "complain" any more.....

Sorry to upset all the guys with "small" ones, posts that is!

Spend more time on forums and you'll recognize forum sarcasm when you read it.

That sentence above is an example for those following along at home.

Thank you for proving the point!! We signed up for Secret Santa!!!!

Santa = Christmas (I might be going to hell for that equation)
Christmas = December 25th
Today is December 22 = relax and don't assume the worst about the BN Army

Major thanks to Pythoner and Spiderwrangler for your hard work. Much appreciated!

Happy New Year to All.
