Actually, @treefrets294evr said she got hers, and that the necklace is really cute /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I often get deliveries at very odd times (9 pm anyone? I live in a one horse town, nothing is open at 9pm, but I got a delivery haha) and yeah, Sundays sometimes as well. I did, however, just get a reading on FedEx even though I'm still processing--Thursday, yay! It's already in Sacramento and I live north of that and honestly, I always get it sooner than they post so I'm hoping for Tuesday or Wednesday. I want that bracelet! Also, anyone else freezing? Every morning I wake up and my thermostat is as low as it can go!  :brrrr:   Socks for January--nice fluffy wool socks in a cute Fair Isle design--looking at you, PS!

I live in Sonoma County & it is horribly cold! We aren't used to this weather!!!... I would never cut it in a place that snows /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

my wrists are pretty small, just under 6". I'd say the bracelet runs small, but it should fit up to a 7" wrist. and it would be pretty easy to add z couple rings to the extender chain if you're handy with needle nose pliers.

After all the posts about Sunday deliveries I ran to my door just to see if I got mine .... Sadly no! I did notice on my tracking it left Ellenwood, GA on Friday, but nothing else or expected date of delivery (I'm only about 2 hours away)

So those of you confused about Sunday delivery:  USPS has a Sunday delivery option (at the sender's discretion and extra expense). 

Amazon started with it this year: http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/11/11/amazon-sunday-delivery-usps/3479055/

In some areas the USPS is processing and delivering mail/packages on Sundays for the holidays.

Thanks for the photo! My wrist is about the same as yours, and it looks nicer on than I expected. Are the rhinestones glass or plastic?

Thank you for the pic!  It does look nicer on.  I'm also one that has small wrists and some larger bangles and cuffs look odd on so I'm happy that I can wear this!

The bracelet charm looks a lot like a cross... I know someone else mentioned it earlier but I didn't realize until @treefrets294evr posted her picture...

That's a pretty big disappointment for me as it's the big ticket item. Figured I would reserve judgement until receiving box but after seeing that picture, this is definitely the worst box of the three I signed up for. Oh well, at least I didn't resubscribe!

 

[treefrets294evr]

The rhinestones looks like crystal to me, or at least cut glass, very sparkly. The alignment of the charm to the bracelet makes the charm shape an X as opposed to a christian cross symbol. It is sort of an art deco look to me.

Thanks! I'm definitely looking forward to the box more now. 

I think it looks like a multiplication sign. I can see why a cross would come to mind in a box that does seem specifically Christmas-themed, but out of that context, I'd never think of it as a cross.

Yup, totally an X.  Due to my own cultural leanings, although I hate bracelets and had originally intended on tossing it up on eBay, I may keep it for May 23rd.

Hmm... I wonder if she's on the east coast. I'm excited that she likes it!

Aw, man. Bummer. It probably won't fit me either. I'll be sending them an email about it, maybe they'll substitute it for something else.

Is it adjustable at all?  

Come on, Popsugar, either send out adjustable things that will fit a range of customers, or actually cater things to the sizes people marked on their profile!  Even the necklace in the August box had a somewhat short chain. 
It is adjustable to about 7". My wrists are exactly 7". I could probably have someone else fasten it for me, but then it would look ridiculous as it would be almost tight. This is so disappointing!

I know I'm late to the party but I feel like I need to shower after going through that sh*t storm a couple pages back. 

I hope eventually everyone is happy this month regardless of preferences on holidays/box contents/etc. 

I wanted chocolate so bad tonight but now I feel like I need to wait since we are getting so much! Definitely going to mix things up and melt it into hot milk like one user suggested (sorry couldn't find the post). 

Trying to add some positivity to the thread and say I am delighted with several boxes' spoilers I have seen

I would normally never buy that bracelet but the more I see pictures, the more I like it. It looks festive /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I am not a nail wrap person but I think these will be great for the holidays & I like the suggestion of only putting one or two on each hand. And, I am so going to make my own hot chocolate like someone suggested. I'm not jumping up & down over the other items but I can always try to trade one or two of them /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> At first I thought "meh" but as more time goes by, I'm really excited about this box!! I looked back at previous boxes while I was putting together my trade list & was reminded the boxes have become more well rounded & better suited for me as time goes by. I'm not always going to love everything but a big part of the fun for me is the anticipation & reading the forums.

I think its more of an "X" shape, where the charm attaches has it oriented the other way, so to me it doesn't look like a cross. I don't think Lulu Frost makes any religious icon type jewelry at all.

I don't think so either and I know it's *not* a cross, but I feel like someone who is just glancing at it might think so. And working retail, most people would just be glancing or seeing it in passing.

My FedEx updated its tracking. The package came down from Sacramento to City of Industry, CA, which is about 2 hours away from San Diego. I'll probably get it tomorrow unless it sits. SO excited for my first PopSugar box ever.

Also in San Diego. I find it takes a trip to Chula Vista first, and then goes out on it's way, so we're looking at Tuesday, probably!

Gosh I would hardly say a few disagreements are a sh*t storm, or any of the other demeaning and patronizing things that have been said about the *gigantic fights*. Not very nice to be talked to like children when we were just sharing feelings.
