I knew there wasn't a lot of hope of keeping it secret from you so I didn't even really try and hide it . I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks to my secret santa...

A little embarrassed. The order was from thinkgeek and I had ordered something for my wife and thought that it was for her and set it to the side. Got another package today from thinkgeek so.. figured something was up. guess I should open packages when I get them.

Got a Han Solo in Carbonite Ice Cube Tray, A nice metal ESB sign and a Do or Do Not T-Shirt. I'll have to see if I can figure out who it is now. (there is a receipt in there.. haven't looked)

Thank you secret santa for my BBQ sauce! I love Black's BBQ in Lockhart. I went there right after my flight to Austin back in October. Now I have enough BBQ sauce to last me for a year!

Got my gift yesterday!! Nice looking 2012 Browns Calender and On Being Brown book. What's ironic about the book is my father has asked several times if I have read On Being Brown. Now I can tell finally him YES! Read the first couple chapters and I'm hooked!

Thank you secret santa!!

Shipped mine out today. And thank you very much to my Secret Santa, who had his name on the receipt. Got an awesome UNLV Team Gnome who made me laugh and laugh in a good way and a book called Crock Pot Best-Loved Slow Cooker Recipes which has a lot of recipes I can't wait to try in my slow cooker when I get back to Las Vegas.

It looks like my Christmas gift to you was the curse of my FB profile pic PF. Went with a Packer logo (was pulling for them to go unbeaten if the Eagles don't make the playoffs, and to have a little fun with some of the bandwagon Cowgirls fans that I know).

Now thinking that my profile pic is a curse. Put an Eagles logo up last year and they lost their last three games. Put a Phillies logo up and they lose to the Cardinals. Put an Union logo up and thay lose in the first round of the playoffs. Put a Flyers logo up last year and they went from best record in the league to falling off the pace and then being swept by the Bruins.

Truthfully, even though it was a bad way to lose (bad performance, bad team, injuries, etc...), I would rather see a loss now than in a month when it really counts. I think this is the wake-up call they needed...quit talking about perfection and go after what really counts.

Regarding the Eagles, I saw something on Twitter that laid out the way they can win the division and it is certainly not inconceivable. Crazy.

Wow, Secret Santa was very, very, very good to me. The package just arrived and I am really impressed!

Santa brought me a 4 pack of Great Lakes' Christmas Ale (I'm a big fan of Great Lakes brewing but haven't tried this one!), Four C's American Pale Ale and Old 21 Imperial IPA from Brew Kettle.

In addition to the three different beers to try, I got a new barbecue sauce (Winking Lizard Tavern) and Bertman's Original Ball Park Mustard. I'm am absolutely pumped!!! I have a guy at work that has talked year after year about how great the Bertman's mustard is so this was definitely on my list. My little guy and I love trying new barbecue sauces too.

I assume, given the Cleveland connection, that this is my new best friend CleBrownsFan! Dude, thanks a ton, this is awesome!!! I figure this is also a subtle attempt at a coup of my Steelers' loyalty!

After reading your beer of the month dynasty it was a no brainer. The Christmas ale is probably the best I have ever had. Just watch yourself drinking them because 2 or 3 will get you pretty buzzed. I bartended at The Brew Kettle on Sundays for a few years. The 4 c's and the Old 21 are by far the most popular. The BK is a local (Cleveland burbs) micro brew that have been around for about ten years. They win tons of awards for their beers and do very well for a small time brewery.

The BBQ sauce came from my favorite restaurant in northeast Ohio (which isnt really saying much). And you can never have enough stadium mustard IMO.

Glad you will or maybe already have enjoyed your gift. It was fun digging into your FOFC past and coming up with a gift I thought you could enjoy.

Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Oh - I'm in the minority here in Cleveland but I don't have any hatred toward the Steelers. I actually respect the Steelers probably more than any other sports franchise. Now the Ravens.... That's a whe another level of hatred in my eyes
