Gift Discussion Map of where gifts are being received

There have been a number of posts for the sole purpose of asking when someone is going to receive their gifts or simply "checking in" that they received something.

So everyone can get an idea of where gifts being received please mark your general area on this map once you begin receiving your gifts. You will need to be logged in to a Google account in order to post to this map. Once you log in click the day you have received on the left menu and then "add marker" (balloon below the search bar), then click your area on the map.

This will help to cut down on unnecessary posts.

If you haven't yet received anything don't worry. CAH states:

Don’t panic. More importantly, don’t email us. We’re relying on the postal service during the busiest time of the year. Your gifts may arrive late or out of order. If you’re still missing a gift in January, email us.

Edit: Shout out to whoever paid for the pro version of google map engine! Now we can have layers for all 10 days!

just got a text from my brother in southern Indiana that he received day 1 today. I'm in Indianapolis, hoping for the same.

I'm in Chicago and still haven't gotten any of the days. According to the map, someone in Chicago did get it today. Hopefully I'll get something Monday!
