Gift Exchange: Winter Holidays 2011

[KitKat]

I didn't get one last night either.

[Kipawa]

I didn't either, but I'm sure the admins will get a hold of us shortly. Extra time to dream up what to get for your Christmas basenji friend!

[Kipawa]

Has anyone been sent the name of their Christmas buddy? If shipping overseas, time is of the essence.

[krunzer]

I just had hubby check his email and my buddy hasn't been assigned yet. Maybe I should send you a present Kipawa.

[Kipawa]

But December 1 has already passed? 2 more days will be December 7. Is that when we will get the names?

[Buana]

I didn't have a basenji buddy either…

I do have to ship overseas...

[KitKat]

Has anyone got there buddy yet? Was just wondering.

[wizard]

Maybe we should be asking if Alex is okay - or just overwhelmed by the response to participate.

Very nice thought, Wizard.

Alex, hope all is well.

Our household has, frankly, gained a reputation as being the couple that "Keeps Christmas going into the new year." So in my mind, there is still plenty for the gift exchange to happen. ;)

Hey Folks,

Sorry about the delay, it's been a busy last 7 days due to some unexpected events, but everything is well now. Basenji buddies have been assigned and emails sent out. Looking forward to all the gift unwrapping photos and stories.

[Buana]

I've got my Basenji buddy!!

Christmas shopping this weekend!!! can't wait!!!

[Kipawa]

Shopping here too, probably today! This is going to be fun!

[krunzer]

Whoohoo. Got my B buddy. Time to go shopping!!

[curlytails]

Did a little shopping today. Came home and the dogs were very confused why I was not distributing the goods from the big bag of goodies! I'm participating in a Shiba gift exchange too, so there was a bit of stuff in there. =) Anyway, I had to take the bag out to the car because Bowdu was stalking the bag, even when I tried to put it out of view in the closet.

[wizard]

Mine is packaged and ready to be shipped (I had the day off yesterday)!

[krunzer]

Mine is off in the mail today. My B buddy should see it in about 6-8 days. Do we tell our B buddy that we got them? Or is it secret?

[Alex]

It should be a surprise and everyone should post photos into this thread once their basenjis open the packages.

[Kipawa]

Kipawa says, "Santa has a delivery on the way for my basenji Christmas buddy, so watch out for his reindeer and sleigh"!

[krunzer]

Did Kipawa open his present yet??????
