    GIFT GET, I SWEAR TO GOD I THOUGHT CANADA POST WOULD KEEP 'EM FOREVER:
    After being manhandled by Canada Post for nearly a month, two boxes show up unannounced at work. I had honestly given up on them and figured my Santa would need to petition Canada Post to see what greasy conveyor belt they'd fallen under/into:

    IMG00146.jpg

    Check out my loot:

    IMG00147.jpg

    Wii Points! Holy shit, this is cool. My girlfriend's Wii is full of Her Games, but now it must bow before me and store MINE AS WELL AHAHAHA. Purchased: Secret of Mana (You can play *3 player* on this shit) and Super Smash Brothers (because awwww yeah).

    IMG00148.jpg

    I loved this movie! And it's the movie I bought for some kid at CHEO here in Ottawa for Child's Play. Now I get my own copy!

    IMG00149.jpg

    I love zombies! (Or, I mean, I hate zombies. Right. Get that straight.) And I just ran outta books to read on this bus. Am on Chapter two as we speak, and the zombie fightin' livens up what would otherwise be a fairly NOT action-packed romance story, I'm sure.

    IMG00150.jpg

    SPECIAL BONUS GIFT:
    WTF is this? And how did it find its way to me with those crazy black censor bars hovering over the majority of the address? (leet photochop skills, yo)

    IMG00152.jpg

    Them's some fancy buildings:

    IMG00153.jpg

    Wall o' text:

    IMG00154.jpg

    I'm sure this was meant platonically:

    IMG00155.jpg

    The wall o' text all typed up for those who are interested:
    Hey Dan "Imperfect" Hilton!

    Merry christmas to you! I just got your gift in the mail today, and figured I'd write back right away so this reaches you in time! Thank you for some seriously great gifts! I just tried one of the maple dreams, and it was great. Since I'll be moving out of my home soon, the two books make a good start for my own cook-book collection. Your letter will go up on the wall as the first christmas card of the year (which is a big deal, let me tell you). So let me tell you about this picture, it's the dutch houses of parliament, and people are ice-skating on the pond in front of it. The tower on the left is actually the office of the prime minister. So in winter, you can skate up to his office and knock on his window! How cool is that! I read of the forum that you got laid off recently, sorry to hear that. I was much happier to read that you got a new job! Congrats! I hope you have an awesometastic christmas this year, and I'm sure I'll see you around on the forums!

    Seasons greetings! (to the rest of Canada, too)

    'Ampix'

    Thanks, Santee!

    Daemonion that is an awesome pic post.

    edit: oh man, there are only about 12 people who have not received their gifts yet. For this early in the year, that is pretty stellar.

    I just finished my copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. He really integrated the zombies into the story very well, though if you don't like Jane Austen you won't find that much to like in the book.

    Yes, it's important to note that it is simply Pride and Prejudice plus zombies. It's like having a cheeseburger with pickles. Just cause you love pickles, doesn't mean you're gonna love that burger. If you hate cheeseburgers, you probably won't like it.

    That said, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters is fun too. I hear he's working on more of Austen's texts as well.

    And it was a real nice card!

    I thought it was pretty cool that in Canada, you can wander all over the grounds of Parliament without an escourt (contrasting of course to the states, where there's armed security guards keepin' you a million miles away from the White House). But bein' able to wander over to the PM's office, knock on the window, and be all "WORK HARDER, THERE ARE MORE BILLS TO PASS HURRY HURRY i will go ice skate more while you WORK WORK WORK DAMNIT." That is pretty cool.

    A package has arrived (actually two days ago, but I was lazy and then I passed out yesterday after work so just getting around to doing this post)
    1-1.jpg

    Sweet, a cardboard box filled with shredded paper and packing peanuts. Must be italian. Fragile.

    Hrmmm, a toaster? I mean, I do love toast, who doesn't? And I've probably made mention of my love for toast somewhere on the forums, but seriously? A toaster? I already have a toaster, dude, maybe I'll just take it out of the box and......OH MY DEAR GOD!

    And weep for your inferior santas.

    P.S. Not sure if this was from G&T or from D&D so this is getting cross posted. Plus more people to show off my awesome santa's work too. I also got two notes with the toaster, one with some Cave Story quotes and a Merry Christmas, and one that was hidden in the box which said Counter Activated, which I think got mistakenly put in the box, cause I don't really know what to make of that message.

    So this year was kind of a mixed bag for me. Apart from all the horrible things that happened to people who posted in the thread this year, I had an awesome Santa, but my Santee never posted pics as she promised to do. I'm guessing that means I did not do an A-1 job of stalking and will have to do better next year.
