You all should now have a PM with the info of the person you are santa for. If you don't that means I muffed up and you should let me know as soon as possible.

Hello Kzm007,

The elves put together a special package for a new pipe smoker weeks ago.

Wishing you the merriest of holidays this and in the years to come,

Santa

Tobacco items:
A nice variety of snus samples, with different nicotine levels (nothing under about 10mg please) and at least a couple high nicotine versions (15-17mg.) Please try not to purchase all the same brand, unless you yourself use snus and can assure me there will be noticeable flavor differences. I'm trying to broaden my horizons.

You can either put one together yourself with a few cans (http://www.northerner.com/en/)

or snag a sampler here (http://www.northerner.com/en/snus/No...us%20Box-2604/) which costs $35.10 shipped Swiss Post with no tracking or around $50 USD via UPS with tracking.

Non-tobacco items:

Any money left over you feel like spending, I'd like this CD please. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...condition=used

Hope this doesn't sound like too much; I don't need all of it if it can't be done, naturally.

Thanks in advance, Santa!

Hello Kzm007,

Your gift went out by post today.

Happy Holidays!

I'm not entirely sure how I overlooked this at the beginning, but we need to decide when to open packages.

Would you guys prefer to open them as they arrive or all on the same day (on or just before Christmas)?

We can have a separate thread for pictures and all that
[Reply]

The sadist in me says wait until the 25th.

As for pictures, may as well post them in this thread. No point starting a SPS09 picture thread.

or at least the 24th

fiiiine , we'll post em here:-)
[Reply]

I say we pick our own "Pipe Christmas day" and open packages then :-)
[Reply]

I never really wait, just like putting the wrapped gifts out in the first week of Dec. and telling the kids they have to wait a month to open them.

Yo, Lensjockie, Santa has it on good authority that you have been a good lad this past year. My problem, however, is that I have no idea what you are wishing for this holiday season. Be a good lad, now, and send Santa your wish list.

HoHoHo, Merrrrrry Christmas!

RX2010,

HO HO HO. I have it on good accord that you were a good boy this year, with organizing the CA pipe that Boswell mad for us earlier, among other things I've seen you do this year. So seeing that you've been a good boy, I've managed to organize a nice gift to send your way. I hope you enjoy everything in it. Unfortunately my sleigh has broken down, so I will be delivering your package in a brown truck... Elves and their strikes keeps me from delivering it in style. Just make sure you don't go opening that box right away when you get it. My fake address will be from somewhere in NY. I will also mail you something from my present location (The North Pole of course) once I receive what I want to send to you, its not pipe related though, and I probably won't be able to get it to you by Christmas, just letting you know there will be a follow on :-) Have a Merry Chrismas Tim. HO HO HO!

[Reply]

:-) thanks Santa! I'm looking forward to whatever you've cooked up!
[Reply]

To my own kid, your package has partially been paid for, but I am currently being held for ransom by the government, so I've got to pay off the rest via snail mail check. I'm hoping I can get everything arriving and delivered by the big day, but you'll forgive me if you have a Boxing Day or New Year's gift inside.

Merry Christmas, and God bless us, everyone!

drob,
I have it on good authority that you have been a good lad this year and I have my elves working on your list. Stay tuned.
Ho Ho Ho

kzm, only you know for whom you're buying a gift... posting as yourself does nothing to let the person know whats going on.

What say you log in as Secret Pipe Santa as instructed in the pm, and then post a message to the person you drew in the gift exchange.

Santa.

p.s. Your Name Goes Here, not that of the person your writing to
[Reply]

Wish list ummmm? Okay elves here it is.
one of those carve your own pipe blanks.
A gigantic bowl for my Kirsten.
portable pipe stand
A cool blend that I can't get at my local shop
travel/pocket pipe
One of those really cool long stem lap pipes or replacement stems
A gigantic bowl for my Kirsten.
Just some ideas.

Hello Kzm007,

Has your gift arrived yet?

It's been 6 days since it went out, please let me know when you get it.
[Reply]

Dear Demented

wait, this is how you should start a letter to me... ho ho ho, I guess I'm getting old old old.

It seems the elves have finished preparing the goodies in store for you, once the lazy-ass packing elves get your package made up it will be on it's way

So Demented, we all hope you enjoy your loot, but please clean your chimney, I don't like getting my suit dirt with soot
:-)
