Thank You Santa!

Nemo Brauch

 I received my EN Secret Santa gift in the mail yesterday.   A box  of inner tubes!   

That cracked me up!   I placed the box our growing gift pile to be opened on Christmas morning so I don't know what's inside yet.  But, I thought it would be nice to have a thread where we could say "Thanks Santa" since many of us will not know the identity of our jolly EN Elf.   So here it is, let us know what Santa brought you this year!

I got mine yesterday and its under the tree! Waiting is sooooo hard

I got mine the other day and ripped it open. I'll post pics later!

Yes thank you as well for a great pair of sunglasses. I'm sure I could figure out who they are from, but you know, there are just too many members from Maine it might be a waste of my time!

Thank you, Santa! Under the tree for Saturday.

I ripped into mine when it arrived. My wife says I was more excited about that gift than she has seen me before. I guess it was the knowledge that someone with a similar addiction to mine took the time to find some really cool stuff to share. I didn't take pictures, wish I had thought to do that. Super cool was the fact that my secret santa threw in some cool little items for my 2 year old daughter. I think she loves EN now too!

You know could always rewrap if after the paper falls off accidentally (just sayin)

It didn't even cross my mind to wait until christmas.  I tore into it as soon as I got it.  Glad I did.  Not sure if the very yummy cookies would have tasted as good a few days later.  Even included the recipe.  Hopefully my attempt to remake them will be just as good.

 

So. Steve, are there many more ENers in Middleton, Massachusetts? 

Carrie Chavez

Still waiting for mine to arrive.

Santa got me a sweet Tour of California T-Shirt! How did he know I already have a number of cycling T-Shirts - but not this race - so this was a very cool one to add! Thanks Santa!

Dear Secret Santa - my kitties and I are having a blast! Looking forward to my next long run with the hand held running bottle!

Thanks and safe travels back to the North Pole! Double cookies and eggnog next year!

Thank you EN Secret Santa for the "Life is Good" running hat and EN tattoos.  The hat will be well used with the upcoming snow storm tomorrow and the tattoos on my next race.  Thank you Santa!!!!!

Thank you, Santa!   I'm looking forward to finding inspiration for my first IM in "17 Hours to Glory", and  a good chuckle reading "Trizophrenia". 

Many thanks!

..... I'm sad.... I didn't get one.... =:-[ ... santa must have had a flat or something...... maybe he found something really special like a new Cervelo and shipping is delayed =:-]..... then again, it is probably just the mail up here in Maine - the chipmonks and squirrels are slow with mail..... Till Monday then......

Thank you Santa for the new RoadId! I'll be having a safer Happy New Year!

Hey Santa, I'll be rocking the Spinervals in the pain cave. Awesome. I don't have this one.

I, like many, was way excited about this gift. I KNEW it wasn't a tie or a fruitcake.

Great idea Patrick.

I got a GREAT pair of knee high Burton socks that are of a snake on the upper part down to the mid foot about to eat a mouse that is from mid foot to toe.  Awesome socks!  I wore them running today.

If I had to guess I would have said Dave Boyle because he knows I like cool cycling socks but I think they were either from Blazer or Noodle  because it was a MN postmark and they're both birkie skiers IIRC.  Am I close?

Thank you Santa!  USPS finally delivered the goods......

My secret Santa turned me into......

Big thanks to my Secret Santa (Atif?) for the IMLP mug and running socks! I'd looked at both, and regretted not picking them up. Very cool!!!

Scott Alexander

I gifted myself what I've wanted since seeing Rich sport them at ToC, a pair of Oakley Jawbones.

I'll try them out on my outdoor ride tomorrow. Gotta love TX, it's going to be 70-ish on 12/30!!!

Coach Patrick

Great thread and thanks for playing everyone...the secret santa round one was a success!!!

Brenda Ross

Thank you Secret Santa for the Amazon gift card. What book to buy with it is the question.

Thank you Secret Santa for the Road ID. The DW will be happy that I can be identified when ran off the road by the crazy NJ drivers.

I'll admit I was late with sending my gift. But, I haven't received a gift yet. :-(
