Almost a week ago I received three packages and a rhyming note from proxy indicating that there was one more on the way, and not to open any until I have all.
The fourth is still nowhere to be found.
It's time for Bursar's annual "Drop off the Face of the Earth Just in Time for Santa Stalking"!
Sorry. I've been super-busy!
On the flip side, Santee, you have been stalked. And judged. Mostly stalked, and you have been found wanting.
Wanting things, I mean. Man, I should finish my sentences the way I intend them to be finished. Anyway, suitable presents are being collected, and once I've got them all, the gifting will commence. Oh, yes, have no doubt of that.

Santee,
I'm sorry. I totally forgot to order stuff yesterday. I got caught up in getting picture calendars done for my family (60% off!) until 2 AM and I totally forgot to order a few things during the cyber Monday sales. Oops. I'm not giving up though! I'm sure I can still find what I'm looking for at a decent price.
edit: When I told my wife what a Vita was and that someone got one, she was shocked. When I just told her a second person got one, she was even more so. :P I love this secret santa every year. You are all just amazing. Between this thread and the Steam thread there is hope for humanity on the internet.
You guys are seriously awesome. I love the generosity and Christmas cheer on display up in here.

I am so tempted to get a Vita, but my wife would kill me haha. It seems so great! And it is awesome that so many folks are gifting them. Yall some generous sumbitches, I tell ya h-what

Yeah, I twice had that Amazon "Black Friday" package in my cart and removed it, mostly for the same reason you avoided it. I'm glad they're getting handed out, though...thats awesome.
On an un-related note, I've pulled the trigger on the first part of my gifting, so keep your eyeballs peeled for the UPS man, Santee!

Yup, pretty sure me and the couch would be best friends if I bought a new console... hell even an old one might get me in trouble given how overboard I went collecting retro stuff awhile back!
Shopping this weekend for my Santee, mostly have it planned what I'm buying so I look forward to pulling the trigger.
Sorry for the super-late notice, but I just remembered that I am going to be out of town next week - like, the 8th through the 15th. It was originally supposed to be a bit shorter than that, but things got moved around, and here we are. I have a helpful neighbor who can pick things up if they're left at my door, but if something requires a signature, that might be tricky to get. Also, USPS probably won't be delivering for that period, so ...
So, yeah. Sorry for completely spacing out on this one.
Just a reminder for my santa that I will leave for Texas the morning of the 24th and won't be back until 2014. So if it's gonna be later, let me know I'll give you the address I'll be at.
Oh hey the gift I ordered for my Satan from Amazon got here today. Wait why are there so many boxes for me I didn't order that much...OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
However, they only came with the real name of my gift giver and "From SS." so I don't actually know if they are from my Satan in SE++ or my Santa in G&T. So if you want to proxy me a message letting me know which SS this is from so I know for sure which thread to post in, that'd be Fantastic.

"Require.... signature.... for... everything"
Oh what? Nothing. Just taking notes! For no reason!
Gifts going out, gifts I ordered for my fam coming in. Checking the mail in december is the best, you never know what awaits you!
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

So many packages coming to my house soon! Finishing up the presents for my santee, got some gift bombs for my wife, presents for the kids. UPS must hate me.

Santee, I should be sending out your package tomorrow! Soon the giftening shall be upon you.
Santa: It would probably be a good idea to let me know via proxy when anything should arrive since the address is my parents house and I'm usually only there once a week. But I can easily go any day of the week to pick stuff up! Or you can just PM my husband @thepain73 if you want to be lazier.
Everyone tell me in PM who their santee is! Then I can use my expert detective skills to know who has me!
FLAWLESS LOGIC
We already established that everyone's santee is Rorus Raz.

Good news Santee! I have decided what I'm going to get you and immediately went to order it.
Bad news Santa! Amazon appears to have run out of it. I know how implausible this sounds but its true.
Don't worry though, the elves are on the case! They've shared with me their secrets and apparently... you can buy things from places other than Amazon. Who'd have thought?!

Which has me confused. Why are people getting gifts?
Is this a giant ruse? Have people ordered gifts for themselves?

I'm sorry. I totally forgot to order stuff yesterday.
Twas the night before Christmas...well give or take a few weeks. But what's a few weeks between us?
Bobiel's been camping out on top of the box for the whole night. No Bobiel, this isn't your new litterbox either.
But what could possibly be in the box?
Little known fact, David Fincher filmed that scene in my backyard. Honest truth.
Umm...umm... If you excuse me, I think Kirindal's going to check out... *Faints*

Now how did I confuse you? @Big Classy? Does my name resemble your Santee's? :P
It's pretty damn sexy. I'll admit!
