    Just ignore him. You're fine. He's like one those cops with nothing else to live for cards you run across in CAH. :p

    Hey Santa! I'm going to switch it up this year - when I receive my gift, I'll be posting video of the entire process!

    And so ends to tradition of gift pictures with animals to videos of cute animals that just happen to have gifts in them.

    It is time to usher in a new era of entertainment.

    You all keep talking about candy I have never heard of before.. I'm going to spend the next hour drooling on my keyboard and trying to figure out if it's worth tripling the cost to get this stuff shipped overseas aren't I?

    Picross 3D may very well be the best DS game
    It sounds like since my favorite DS game so far was Picross DS that I should pick up Picross 3D at some point.

    I want to point out that I wrote Grim's letter mostly using Oak's intro text from Red/Blue.

    Zuh!?! I now have something inbound from both UPS and FedEx and I don't know what either of them are! Santa, is that you?

    Maaaaaybe. Well, one of them anyway. Unless you have two Santas. In which case, lucky you!

    Throw that thought completely out of your mind. This is solely for the purpose of feeling awesome and giving people gifts. The fact that you signed up to spend money on a stranger is awesome enough. If your Santee doesn't like what you got its because that person is the emodiment of christmas shittyness

    Also my package is in transit, according to Proxy!

    Just restating this to my Santa: I'm away from Saturday, so won't be at home to personally receive your present if it comes then or after, BUT if it does arrive then, I shall post here to say as much :)

    edited to clarify that I won't be at home on Saturday either.

    I feel awful because I haven't gotten a chance to post pictures (Been a crazy week) but I got my gifts!

    Santa, thanks so much and fuck you!. I devoured Storm Front in a day and now hooked on the Dresden files.

    I'll promise I'll post pictures tonight.

    What's this? A wild tracking number has appeared! Wednesday you say? And it appears I took Wednesday off already to work on my final project (among other household things). Yahoo.com!

    Oh wait, I thought it read as Wednesday, it appears it's Thursday now. Either way, still awesome!

    An enormous package dropped from the sky, it's thick carapace too much for me to handle. I reluctantly enlisted the help of Cat and Loki.

    IMG_0030.JPG
    Cat got bored and left, Loki proved ineffective. I had to bring out the heavy hitters...

    IMG_0031.JPG
    Hulk smashed the package (and Loki) hard enough to split it wide open. Santa repossessed Loki's spear and his dark reign began.

    What's this? A Series 8 Minifig Blind Bag... could it be!? A second Santa!

    Don't you dare feel bad after the week you've had. I'm sorry that I missed your message and sent the package when you couldn't receive it. I am glad to hear that nobody ran off with it while you were away though, and I'm glad you like the book. I'm still devouring the series myself after @Judge-Z got me the first installment a couple years ago. :)

    Crossing my fingers that my final present to my santee arrives today. Apparently sending a small parcel across the continent takes at least 10 days?

    Still haven't seen anything from my Santa, but I'm dutifully checking the post-box every day.

    Pretty sure my Santa's parcel arrived yesterday. Checked the mail today since I wasn't at home yesterday at all and found that I got a card with a custom's charge. Trying to fill out the details to pay the fee online but the postman made a complete botch job of the reference number and as such I will be inquiring at the local museum and/or university for an expert in Postmanology to decipher this most infuriating cypher. The website's no help in trying to pay for it, the post card doesn't have enough stamp room to pay for it with stamps and I can't easily get to the office it was sent to. Frustration abounds!

    GRUMP GRUMP IGNORE MEEEE.

    FYI to my Santa:
    I will be out of town for the holidays, so if anything arrives on or after Saturday I will not be picking it up/posting until Wednesday.

    Edit: Or Thursday, depending on when we get to the post office.

    Just got a note asking if I had gotten my package, since tracking said it was delivered. I got home late and didn't check the front door. Looks like I'm making a lunch trip home!

    In other news, I reeeeeeeally hope my santee got the package I sent him, since it's been a couple weeks.
