I so enjoy seeing what was sent/received -- it helps to give ideas for next year.

I look forward to doing that.
It seems that many of us who have received the packages are under do-not-open-until- instructions.
It is not easy, but I will hold out and open the SS gift as instructed.
Pictures will follow soon after (if I can remember how to post them
)

Okay, I'll start...
Mine actually arrived on Monday - a plain brown box with no extra notations or opening instructions. I am fully capable of waiting until Christmas day, and was planning on it, so I opened the box expecting to find the actual gift in a separate box and wrapped with pretty paper. Much to my surprise, there was no separate box wrapped in pretty paper. Instead, there were two beautiful shop-made tools. A pecan mallet and marking gage.
I am looking forward to using both of these fine tools which will, no doubt, last a lifetime.
