If you replace "mermaids" with "realtors", this happened to Shelby and me IRL on Saturday night.
(Except they did not ignore me. The realtors also offered me wine and chocolates while they were passing around the treat jar so everyone could have a turn giving treats to Shelby.)

Santa, you have no idea how excited I am for this. I even have family staying with me right now but I don't care, Biggie, Munchie, and I have an adventure to go on!

Also, will I be printing these off and adding them to the binder I made last year? Why yes, yes I will!

Reminder to everyone: Today, January 4, is the deadline for completing both the gift you received and the gift you gave and posting about doing so in your check-in thread.
If you got sick/injured or life otherwise got in the way of you completing the gift you gave yet, please post some sort of clue, either here or in your check-in thread, to give your gift recipient a fair shot at trying to find you.

For now you may still only make public guesses as to the identity of your own Santa. We'll give everyone a week to try to guess their own Santa, then open up the guessing free-for-all on Monday, January 12th.

@Anek already got us started this year by correctly guessing that her Secret Santa is @JJakaSquirrel . Well done, Anek!

I'm going to put my guess out there too. I always have an unfair advantage over the rest of you, because I assign half of the Santas, and often a couple of folks on my assistant's Santa team end up outing themselves to me during the gift design and collection phase for one reason or another. So I'm guessing from a smaller pool of potential Santas than the rest of you. But I think anyone who's read the gifts from the past couple of years will already have guessed my Santa too, as her writing style is so distinct and wonderful. @f1shie thank you so much for my gift! I literally laugh out loud every time I read it! It is so wonderful! Shelby also says thank you for writing her part into the story. Helping to keep me in great shape by supervising my home workouts and taking me for long walks has always been very important to Shelby. So she was super happy to have been given such an important role in this workout. I can assure you she took her part very seriously!

Yay!!! Finally I guess correctly! The hints in @JJakaSquirrel thread were very excellent.

@Laura Rainbow Dragon I thought of f1shie the moment I read your gift :D

I leave a hint for my giftee here: I tried to give you things you like, and I didn't realize how hard they would be for me to do! I'm out of practice with those things :D

Oh, man, I don't even know where to start with my guess.

@Anek great guess! I tried to at least kind of make the exercises rabbit-like glad you enjoyed!

I am not, but i was wondering the same about you, are you my wonderful Secret Santa again this year?

I am not yours either!

So much fun that we have all these talented Bees around!
To be honest, the writing style I immediately recognised was @f1shie :lovelots:

Well I do have a shortlist of options, so on to the next:
The lovely @NancyTree , are you my Secret Santa? :sendinglove:

I will put out a hint for my Santa (Apologies, having 2 sets of divorced parents and 2 December birthdays REALLY wrecked my time).

Munchie was very concerned that the exercizes we put in your workout matched what we said you were doing. She would pretend to do what was said in the story and we would figure out what exercize matched that.

So, I had an upper hand being the Beaver Elf because I was able to cross half the names off from the start.

In going through Check in threads I have narrowed it down to:

Laura, Wloke20, Solveig, or Graoumia

I have to admit, I'm leaning toward @graoumia because taking a few things into account could be the kidlets and my low impact needs.... am I right?

Some of our Santas have been very ninja-like this year. Although we know quite a bit through process of elimination at this point.

Not a lot of people haven't guessed @graoumia at this point, although she gave us a very good clue!

No one has guessed me yet--although I have not tried to be very stealthy. I did complete more than two of the gifts. But that was my only trickery. Every exercise I have done I have recorded in my workout log. (Note: if an exercise was included in one of my regular workouts or challenges, I did not list it separately, even if I also did it as part of a Secret Santa workout.)
