As far as I'm concerned (of course I have no horse in this race), people can open and reveal starting tomorrow, and also waiting up to the 25th (presuming they received their gift).
Starting tomorrow, let the reveal begin!

Santa knew I needed cases for signed 1st editions. I got a traycase for The Dead Zone, and one for Desperation. Also got a fun shirt! Thanks Secret Santa!

Not to be a nattering naybob of negativity, but isn't the title "The Dead Zone"? Not Dead Zone. Kinda like having a case that says "Stand"...Also, was Desperation spray painted on using a stencil-perhaps going for a garage sale sign look?Santa knew I needed cases for signed 1st editions. I got a traycase for The Dead Zone, and one for Desperation. Also got a fun shirt! Thanks Secret Santa!
Where's the Neg Rep button? Boo, RF. Boo.
It's the six sided star beneath my member info. Feel free to use it.
Every year I get a complaint or two from recipients about what they feel was a poor gift (bdwyer didn't bitch to me). I don't participate in the SS, I just am the person who gets all the complaints, and sometimes I feel compelled to say something.
I was very please by my Secret Santa. Three beautiful first editions, one excerpt chapbook, a magazine and two posters. Thanks SS!!! Cell has been a hard one to find a nice clean copy of.... at least here in Dallas.
I'm VERY impressed with my take! Not 1, but 2 signed proof sheets for The Stand comic book - both signed by Mike Perkins, the illustrator. Coming from a family of comic geeks, we all geeked! I love Pennywize! And a collection of CD ARCs, including Detours - loaded with great stories!!!
THANK YOU, SECRET SANTA!!!!!!

I clicked that, but it said, "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Randall Flagg again." Ahhhh, a loophole! lolIt's the six sided star beneath my member info. Feel free to use it.

My Secret Santa present arrived today!
I don't have a big collection of JH, but I have read all his books and NOS4A2 is by far my favourite, so THANK YOU Secret Santa and when I looked inside, it certainly did make me smile!
(As always the European community is a lot smaller so it's not too hard to identify who my SS is, but I'll just say, "Danke und Frohe Weihnachten!")
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
