The only problem I see with your talking about 2 packages and "1 of 2" and "2 of 2" is that now when someone gets 2 packages, they are pretty sure who their SS is, unless many people are sending 2 packages. As far as I am concerned, too many hints is taking some of the fun out of the surprise. Just my little opinion.
And home baked goodies....not a good idea in the package sent in Nov, since we don't open till Dec sometime. Last year I got cookies, and when I went to eat them they tasted rancid, had to throw them out. I think last year Terri suggested sending goodies in a separate package close to the opening day. Any other opinions on this????
