Royce! How did you know that I love to BBQ? 
The OFFICIAL craftsman barbeque set. Which is extra great, because I actually didn't have a set of my own.
Thanks Royce!

You're welcome Alberto. The mug is a numbered limited edition of 5000.
'Exotic Cars' is a store in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace that sells used cars. (No, they wouldn't let me take one for a test drive) I wan't sure if you wanted a classic hot rod, a custom bike or a modern super-car, so I just got you the hat instead.

John, cool cap, I like it. I saw it in the box and noticed the words "exotic" and "vegas" and wondered if I should hide from the kids
Larry, I got those from "Z" so let me know if there's a snag.

I hope everybody involved had fun. I know I did. Lots of great gifts. I would be happy to have received any of the items (except maybe the fruitcake and pink hat).
There are still 5 people who have not shown what they got yet.

I have now lost all faith in the US postal system. Six days to go 1000 miles, for Priority Mail! Now I know why the clerk was trying to upsell me to send it over night. In any event, someone will be getting a gift soon... it arrived at 5am, so MAYBE it got out on a delivery truck today.

Wait a minute....I shoud have looked closer. This is a FRONT roller bearing kit. This is even better....I'm re-doing the front end anyway this winter for big brakes, Konis, etc. This will be the icing on the cake.

I have bad news for you Randy. This gift exceeds the suggested $25 gift value.
Put it back in the box and mark it 'Return To Sender'.

NO WAY Jose....who's to say he didn't get a really good deal on it? Maybe he won it at Vegas?
Actually, to quell any gift envy here, I should let you all know how ironic it is that Steve drew my name for the gift exchange. We have been working on sorting out an engine deal gone sour through no fault of his, and Prince that he is, I think he padded the budget on the gift as part of our deal. If this is not the case...I hope he draws my name again next year

I’m not quite sure how to put this Randy, but you got the wrong box. I sent out my ebay stuff the same day as the secret santa gift. I’ll PM you with the address to forward it to. The good news is that you should be receiving a nifty “My other car is a Porsche” license plate frame any time now. Thanks for understanding.

Just so everyone knows, Shelby had a list that I went by for picking the gifts I sent. She actually asked for a fruitcake. Some people actually like them. The pink LA hats are new this year and she said she loves the Dodgers and anything sweet. So I sent a box of chocolates and the big Kiss was just an inuendo I wanted to throw in.
John, this was a great idea, we should do this every year. Count me in again next year assuming I survive another year.
Merry Christmas to all

Yes,I did ask for friutcake. I actually went and bought my own before I received my gifts from Scott! You fulfilled everything on my list.I make my living working on cars,my living room has a Porsche fender and other parts on the wall,and I have a gas pump in there,too.It is soooo nice to get something other than car stuff.That's all I ever get for gifts.
As for the big chocolate kiss,I wish I could give you a big kiss for being so thoughtful
So,Scott,you are a great Santa in my book......

Apparently the “Santa Law” of 1953 says that any gift given under the pretense of being from “Santa”, secret or otherwise, is binding. Any attempt to reclaim a gift given by “Santa” would, and I quote, “diminish the image of Santa, and tarnish his good name.”
I don’t know where Randy found a lawyer that specialized in holiday law, but I was notified by Kristopher J. Kringle Esq. from the I.H.D.F. (International Holiday Defense Fund)
Posted by: goose2 Dec 22 2005, 04:16 PM
Santa's good name remains sparkley and untarnished, I'm happy to say
However, said 1953 "Santa Law" clearly stipulates in pp7, subsection12 (the so-called Santa-Clause), "acts of Santaism, whether or not enacted within the guidelines of the sanctioning body established for the granting of Santa's favors, shall be duly recognized and appropriately compensated, in order to circumvent the establishment of an undue and inordinate guilt/fear reaction to Santa"....also known as the state of
"Claus-trofobia"
