    This isn't really a hint, but there are five boxes on a truck for delivery today.

    Dear Target

    Some fun Christmas Swag is coming your way via Amazon. I think it will be self explanatory and involves a tradition in my house. In hindsight I should have ordered two of these things!

    Let me just say this........."that's the gift that keeps on giving throughout the entire year." It might not be what you think, and I haven't seen it in a BIF yet...but I think you will enjoy it...... :wink::grinning:

    I'm not revealing who my target is. He will know it was from me when he sees the boxes.

    This should give my target away. My target DID NOT like this post which is ok. He won't be forced to double up any day. Or will he?!

    I'm mulling a mini-contest within my own 12 Days box. I'm going to send two boxes, each with 12 wrapped beers. There will be two beers for each day. One will be the actual 12 day bottle and the other will be an extra. My target will unwrap one of the two beers and guess if it's the official 12 days beer or if it's the extra. Guessed right they will only have to drink the offices beer. Guess wrong and they need to drink both. Fair or not fair?

    They looked like this before they left, and before I added one more small box.[​IMG]

    Okay last data point from me, I think. Two boxes totaling 56lbs dropped off at the local shipment jobber, so they should arrive before your blackout dates. There are two tracking numbers for you, and the second is mathematically 573 less than this one:

    Your first tracking number is based on jersey numbers from arguably the best year of one of your local sports teams:

    (Richardson+Singletary)(Morrissey)(Thayer)(Fencik)(Perry+Tomczak)(Butler+Gentry)

    OMG TOO EASY, I know.
    ~~~~~~~~

    I will add that I have two wrinkles for the BIF.

    1. The wrapped bottles are not in order, but are coded per style (Red paper = Sour/funk, for example). Thus my target may choose the type of beer to open on a given day based on his feels.

    2. I do not have an issue if my target waits X-number of days to crack or pop a bottle open. The joy for me is in the sharing, and if waiting allows my target (and others) to experience it more robustly then I *prefer* it happen that way.

    If my target wants to open and dome these I am all for it, but the option is there. :grinning:


    Cheers and happy holidays to each of you! I look forward to this celebration very much!
