Idea for next year: send your gifts out so they arrive before Christmas, not valentines day.
Steezy, you're going a little bit too hard.
It is our nature as human beings to wait until the last minute. For everything. Whether it be to hit the snooze on our alarm in the morning, cram for finals, make that reservation on the last possible day, or sleep on the new shoe release. It's what we do.
It should come as no surprise that some of us would wait until the last minute to send our gifts out. I put it off because I really did put in work trying to figure out what my elf wanted. We got our assignments Thanksgiving, which only left three weeks to shop around for a gift. I work late nights and sleep during the day so that three weeks shrank to a mere week for me. That's why I sent out late.
As long as my elf receives his gift before new year and he is happy with it, my job is done. We put so many constraints on having it by Christmas that we fall into the consumerism side of it instead of the gift-giving side of it. I'd much rather get my elf the right gift instead of hastily rush something out to meet a deadline so they can have it by a certain day. If it matters, I sent out last week but it was just more feasible to select the more cost-effective shipping option, which delayed the package by a few days.
And Cinco has been great organizing all of this, so no the onus does not fall on him at all. Basically perceived time does not equal real time in this instance. But more importantly, the holiday shouldn't have to end at the stroke of the 26th. That's what I think you're losing sight of in this whole thing.

I stand by what I said. Quote me til your blue in the face.
Letting this affect you that much makes you the real grinch.
Forgetting what this time of the year is all about.

I wasn't part of this as exchange, but did you guys put a post minimum so newbies don't just come in and snag presents? Maybe you should a minimum post count for next year exchange.
No there wasnt...Thinking that next yr it will be by join date maybe or something along those lines...I like knowing who I have as an Elf (as in I see them post etc).
Hope you enjoy it.
