    Default Oops

    I'm putting this in here because I don't want it to get lost in the SS forum.

    After receiving my SS package from Tallahassee Fl, I excitedly checked out the cigars and posted a little thank you to my SS (now I really gotta know who you are-is that you Guado?)

    My wife scooped up the empty box with the peanuts in it for her x-mas shipping and threw it in her office.

    This morning, I swiped the box back from my wife to send some gars to a BOTL and while placing the gars in the box noticed something buried in the peanuts.....an Xikar cigar cutter.

    LOL, its lucky the cutter didn't get sent to; my Aunt, the BOTL receiving my gars, or the trash (horrors).

    So now, thanks for the gars and the Cutter!

    Lesson: Check the peanuts

    I'd love to say it was me, especially after getting the package from my Secret Santa (if you see him, tell him he hit the nail right on the head -- don't know how he figured out the exact sticks to send, but then he's Santa and he knows everything) but it wasn't me.

    Whoever your Secret Santa was, he must have figured out that you're a very deserving BOTL.

    You ALWAYS check the peanuts! That is like the first rule you establish when you start receiving care packages from others. Almost threw away an Xikar cutter, kinda makes you sick to think about it . BUT since you did find it, that's an awesome addition to your secret santa package!

    Wow! You got a Xicar! That is one awesome Secret Santa.

    I hope that by next year I'll be an a financial position to participate as a Secret Santa. This year is a bit tight.

    But wow, a Xicar cutter really raises the bar. Very generous indeed.
