Dang it, missed the delivery today. I'm assuming it's from my Secret Santa since I'm not expecting anything else.
I'll go to pick it up tomorrow. :aoa:

Did my secret santa get me something from Amazon?

If so, then I got my secret santa today.

And if so, I'll put it under the Christmas Tree ... and keep it for Christmas

Thank you for the great gifts, chaos! :kiss: :bigrin:

The Boston Dictionary is so funny! I've been reading it out loud and making myself laugh. I hope my neighbours can't hear me.. :lol:
The other goodies I received: Dunkin Donuts Coffee. I didn't know the company was started in BAWSTIN( :hehe: ), 2018 Brain Puzzlers Calendar(I do need a new calendar- good choice), cute t-shirt and a couple of bars of organic, fair trade chocolate.

Merci beaucoup!!

"Lobsta" and "tuner" :lol:

They talk like that in Boston? Didn't know that, and I've even watched Good will hunting a couple of times. Surprisingly that doesn't make me an authority on the subject it seems

Each neighborhood seems to have its own distinct sound and dialect. I have noticed that some of the older city officials speak as though they have marbles in their mouths.

I have lived here since 1999 and I still run into people I can't understand. :lol:

Glad you got it! I was wondering about it because the expected delivery date was the 6th and the Canada Post tracker still says "In Transit".

Cool gifts. :thumb:

With regard to the onesie, I think I recognize a few faces: Margaret Atwood, Alanis Morrissette (or maybe Celine Dion ?), and Geddy Lee.

That's fantastic. Really, really cool. I wish I had the skill of gift-thinking some of you have, seriously.
