    So, I decided to go to my parent's house for Christmas, which means I will be gone from the 21st to the 28th (or something like that). If you think your gift will arrive between these dates, find a way to let me know and I will try to make arrangements with someone to pick it up. If you haven't sent it yet, I don't mind waiting until after Christmas if you can't guarantee it'll arrive before the 21st.

    Already on thread two?!

    I have so much Christmas cheer to catch up on! Damned end of semester craziness!

    On a brighter note, Santee, your gift is now en route. Here is a hint: This year, I am giving the gift of SCIENCE! Hope you like it :)

    Christmas giving time!

    I just got an extra giftable copy of Telltale's Puzzle Agent (oddball Layton knock off, I enjoyed it) for PC for pre-ordering the Back to the Future game.

    Who wants? I'll take the next six posts expressing an interest and roll a dice or something.

    Yeah count me in if there's still a spot open. I like-a da puzzle games.

    Okay UPS is inconsistent with tracking. With one package, I was able to see it progress everyday, and with another package I get a 5-day hiatus in updates.

    At least I take back what I said last post. I have almost everything for my Santee.

    It takes between 5 and 10 working days from the UK to the US, but slightly less the other way round - something to do with your distribution and collection skills, apparently.

    I ordered something from a website, and now reading reviews people say that it has taken up to a month for them t get their stuff.

    Since it's actually the final piece I was waiting for, I might have to send out what I have right now and then send out a second box later. It's going a fair distance, so I definately want to make sure it gets there before Christmas.

    Also, Santa! The ante has been raised in this thread. I will accept nothing less than a puppy.

    Actually I can't get packages at my apartment, meaning I won't actually get your gift until Saturday :(
    Still, I couldn't help asking for the name on the return address, which your twitter reveals to be you! I am told it is a heavy package. I am excited.

    Thanks, UEAKCrash

    I just received what can only be my Secret Santa present. To say that it's obvious they stalked the ever-loving shit out of me would be an understatement. They managed to get me a gift that was incredibly thoughtful, AND frickin' awesome.

    To whoever my santa was, THANK YOU.

    I'll post some pics tomorrow :):):)

    A private message from Proxy the Elf confirms that the package waiting at home is indeed from my Seeecret Saaanta. I can't wait to open it! Photo documentation pending.

    Oh, I have a news update for my Santee (even though it wont matter to him in the least). I have gotten a hold of the manager of the place that screwed up your one gift. They've alleviated the situation, and I SHOULD be able to get your gift out on schedule, for it to arrive just in time for X-Mas. Yay!

    You should use your Santee's real name on the address label to avoid confusing the post office. I just note somewhere on the package that it's from PA/GnT Secret Santa in some way so my Santee will know pretty quickly why he or she got it, other people might do something different.
