    I always put up a mini tree, because I don't have enough room (or enough effort) to put up an actual tree. I have a nice small plastic one that has enough area for my ornaments, and it's a snap to set up and tear down.

    What about all those tree-less Jews and Muslims?

    Ah, who am I kidding. An old co-worker of mine already has her tree up.

    Anyway, made a student loan payment last night. Now I can focus on throwing some money at Santee.

    When we got our two dachshunds, we went from having the traditional giant christmas tree to a small 2.5 ft tree that sits on top of our entertainment center.

    Adapt, @Elin

    Adapt and spread cheer!

    Don't worry. I'm putting up two trees this year, so it balances out on a worldwide festivity basis.

    Yeah, I'll also have a second tree in my son's room. We got this.

    We have a dachshund and a beagle and they've never bothered our tree, but our 9 month old son is a different story.

    This year's Santee is going to be a tough nut to crack. I'm going to have to call in reinforcements.

    I worry that some of these posts about difficult santees are about me, but I have a tough santee to crack too so maybe we're all just getting "too old for this shit" and should "only have 2 more days till retirement."

    On the other hand, I can basically send anything. I want to try to make something this year, time permitting of course and I think I have a few good directions for it.

    We need a not awesome button.

    If it helps, I made the flower arrangement myself and the vase I put it in is a huge floor standing one. I also have one of those tiny centerpiece size trees that I have little mini ornaments for, I put it on my coffee table.

    Y,'know, I don't post often, so every time I see someone complain about lack of posting, they get +2 to my suspicion that they are my Santa. Just saying.

    I'm mostly on the vent server, so that's where I do my opinion sharing. The best part is that they aren't recorded, so I can change them whenever. Xp

    To my Santa:
    I'm not very picky, I enjoy a wide variety of things. Board games are cool, and so are toys (for the most part)

    I play MTG, and I serve the Newell. I go to PAX if I have the funding. There is evidence of doing so in a few threads, and somewhere on the nvidia site, there's a photo of me winning their PAX Tiki PC.

    Ok. At least you have some kind of tree. I'm not your Santa, but I was about to go out, buy a tree, and mail it to you.

    No, but if a mod gets you it is always fun.

    "Dear Santee,
    This year I am giving you the gift of time.
    Time and freedom.
    "

    You've been banned.

    This isn't a major crisis, but nobody should be giving hints about their Santee's identity. Especially huge ones like that.

    The best part about the plan is that after Raz gets all the presents, he can ban everyone, because nobody else got presents.
    It's the perfect Yule time crime.

    There has to be something wrong because I for some reason didn't get Raz! Why am I out of the loop?

    (Because I got Raz's "not a mod" alt account obviously)

    Figuring out gifts gets harder every year. The first year, it was easy mode. Last year I got someone who didn't post here a ton, but had a decent online presence. This year is sort of a special situation and the leads are way lower. Fortunately, I have prepared for this by playing Arkham City. What would Batman do?

    Still in the planning phases, but rest assured Santee: awesome is still coming in a box.

    So you're going to break into their house through the second floor window, place a sticky explosive on their attic door, and snoop around for big green question marks?

    Hey Santee... you don't know what's about to go on. I am positively bursting at the seams with merriment right now. You're going to have a better Christmas from me than most of my family will. Think about that.

    SANTA. I'M SORRY I'M SUCH A BUM.
    My posting history is kind of one-track, usually for whichever game I am playing at that particular moment. So, incase you might need some more pointers, here's the skinny.

    My shirt size is 3XL.
    I am a Paramedic by trade going on for my Critical Care and Flight Paramedic qualifications, so medical/study items are always good.
    I am attempting to quit smoking and have switched to E-Cigs recently - so Juice for that is always welcome! (http://www.mtbakervapor.com/ has never disappointed, 50%/50% PG/VG and 0-6mg nicotine.)
    I was planning on getting a PS4 to replace my long defunct PS3, but that will likely have to wait until my birthday in February. I own a X360 but no handhelds.
    My Steam username is in my sig, but I don't really keep the wishlist there up to date.
    Artwork is my weakness. Video Game, Art Deco, Mucha, Minimalist.
    ANYTHING LOCAL! I am originally from Australia and have settled in the USA - my love of travel has shown that local, not available widely items are usually pretty fantastic.

    If you need any more info, please just proxy me.

    So glad to be doing this again this year. You guys make the season all warm and fuzzy.
