Please be aware that they are not wrapped in christmas paper before being packaged for posting (I got my friend to check!) so if you want a surprise (and who doesen't?!) don't open the packaging.
Just look for the sticker on the back saying 'do not open 'til christmas day' - well that more or less (I can't check because my friend rewrapped the present as I would have been able to see the contents otherwise!) and I love a good surprise : ) and you'll know it's from RYL!!
Thanks RYL!
GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE

AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
I'm really excited to get mine! I was a little worried invade I'd missed the post and not gotten a collection card or anything for it, but not so much any more, I'm sure it'll arrive soon! :3
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.

Just got mine this morning - yay!! Think my mom was kind of confused as to what the heck it was until I reminded her that "I'd ordered something from that support site." Ah, parents. They just don't get it sometimes.
And as to all of you who're worried, rest assured I'm sure you'll get your packages soon! I don't think there's much order as to when the packages will be received, I think it depends a lot on the postal service and how many things need to be delivered in the area. I'm in the U.S. and I know I've got mine before some people in Europe, so I don't think there's any pattern to it. Still over a week till Christmas anyway, and it's better to not be tempted as long!!

And I won't believe it.

You can see it with your eyes

And that's where I want to be, yeah" - Paramore
Folks remember that parcels are coming from the UK, and it will take longer if you are outside of the country - although I am surprised to hear that the USA is getting things faster than people in the same country. I am more worried about a few things I have sent out for Christmas myself both to the USA and Overseas that may not arrive in time - the last mail that I sent to the USA took almost two weeks to get there, and that was during a less busy time of year. Keeping my fingers crossed on those. I am more worried about others receiving what I have sent on time than me receiving what they have sent.
I know that there is something coming to me from RYL, and it will get here when it gets here. I have no control over the post and obsessing over it will only return me to a negative cycle that rarely does me any good. Even small things will set me off.
Sometimes these words of wisdom help
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.
We're now entirely in the hands of the post, about which we at RYL can do nothing. But Harley, single-handedly made up almost 200 packages and got them off. What a very gallant effort. He surely deserves a medal!
Tony.
PS. I once had to go to Buck House for an investiture. The walls of the halls were covered with priceless paintings. And when I finally knelt before HM I couldn't understand her and she had to repeat herself - being a Gunner has its price!
I'm guessing a lot will come through on Monday for those of us who don't have ours yet =)
thanks so much for all your efforts, Harley and Tony, it really is most appreciated! I'm sure you've made Christmas just that important bit better/more bearable for a lot of participants :) <3

I got mine while I was away..
So when I came back I was in a shitty mood.
So I may have ignored the bold instructions too (:
But thank you for my amazing gifts<3
Really brightened up my day.
Plus, the card?
It made me feel, because it has your names in it (Harley & Tony) that I had autographs from famous people =D
Mine arrived this morning!
I have so far resisted opening it.
I just wanted to say thank you to Harley and Tony for doing this giveaway, it is very kind of you and especially as it puts you out of pocket. Its nice to see RYL all come together and help make Christmas better for everyone.
