So, to update my post from earlier, a Christmas package arrived, on Christmas day. From Canada!
It contained green!
Thank you Psykoma for your painful work!
Why was it painful? It's embroidery! Of freaking Avengers symbols! Sweeeeeet!
Thank you again @Psykoma ! This will go up in my nerdery.
Yo Doc how much did you end up using pasta maker in the end?
For a time it was once a month or so. Then I started making and freezing the fresh stuff. I'm out now, but have been thinking about some homemade lasagna in the very near (rather cold) future.
I just realized this, and I wanted to reassure you all that despite what is written on the mailing envelope, Psykoma's envelope did not contain any ass.
I actually haven't played any of the Bioshocks, and I almost got Infinite when it was on sale for ten bucks. Glad I didn't! Gonna play through these bad boys in order.
Yes @cabsy it was from me! Merry Christmas! The USPS completely botched their delivery dates and it was supposed to show up on Christmas Eve, but I'm really glad you got it!

Sweet thank you! This was an awesome Satans haul I was dying from the mystery and they put your email on the slip and I was trying to be sneaky and figure out who it was on the forums from your completely unrelated email address, haha

:P Well, enjoy your gifts! Especially Bayonetta. Play that shit ASAP, as it's basically the best third person action game ever made.

Gentlefolks! A courier has just delivered unto me a package!
Sadly, I am up to my armpits in baby bathtime and then I have some errands to run now that stores are open again (I'm getting hungry but I'm all out of bread to have with tasty leftover Christmas turkey and ham) but once I've sorted those things out we will deploy all the cat substitutes at my disposal to determine contents contained therein.

Gadzooks!!
I have returned from the Yulehall of My Ancestors to find a large stack of cards and parcels that arrived during my absence. Buried deep within this hoard was a suspicious card and a box of unknown origin. I handled the card first.
Thus you can see why it was immediately suspect:
Oh ho ho! A witty pun indeed. Clever, Satan. Very clever:
What what??? GLEE!! Methinks Satan knows I am a fervent WoW pet collector, and somehow knew I didn't have this one. Well played, Satan... I know this one also raised money for charity:
I turned my attention to the parcel. Behold! A box of the finest air:
But what can this all be, under the air? Oh dear. My thoughts precisely:
OMG THIS IS RAD!! Two Skylanders my kids I didn't have and a squishable fox! Squishable Fox trivia: my XboxLive avatar looks pretty much exactly like this. Satan, did you know???
And finally, my new WoW companion, in game. In keeping with my Pet Acquisition Guidelines, this brew pup has been named in great honour. Thank you, Satan!!

So, I was minding my own business when a courier came to the door*...
*:The following is a dramatisation of actual events
Hey there, chief; looks like you've got a package here...
Don't worry, I'll bring that right in for you.
Put it down here by the tree, sound alright?
There you go, guv'nor, right as rain.
Now, you may want to have the hounds give it the once over before opening, just as a precaution, mind...
(There was then a short break for naptime)
...leaving me with a mysterious package of far off origin; surely this must be the work of my nefarious Satan? THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT...
The package, unopened, its contents unknown...
But what mysteries were waiting for me inside?
Hah! I was right. This delivery is clearly of demonic origin!
My Satan reveals himself... with Dark chocolate cherries! Long have I craved my chocolate to be as dark as the soul within me. Clearly the Dark Lord knew this, and has delivered unto me a treat he knew I would have no defence against.
But what else lies within?
The Good
The Bad
The Sweet
The Spicy
Oh. Oh my.
This is interesting, Satan. Verrrry interesting.
Two Jars of Micks Pepperouri Pepper Jelly; Ginger, and Death Valley.
Obviously, I can't say I'm familiar with them, but I really, really want to be.
I look forward to trying them out... it's BBQ season over here, and I suspect I'll be putting these to use sooner rather than later.
But we are not done! Next, we have...
The Myth
It's the first 3 trades from Fables! I have been meaning to read them for the longest time, as I have reason to suspect that they are going to be right up my street, but I have never had the opportunity. Furthermore, this ties in excellently with the Steam gift that arrived the other day. I'll be honest: right now, I'd much rather be curled up with one of these in a comfy chair than sitting here at this keyboard. So that's probably what I'll do the moment I finish typing.
And finally...
The Legend
It's House of Leaves!
I've heard a lot about this book. All of it intriguing. But I've never even so much as seen it in a store here. I think they had 3 copies briefly pass through the big Borders store downtown about 4 years ago, but it's otherwise just been impossible to find, unless I wanted to order it in, which always seemed a bit odd for something I've never even seen and no-one can tell me what it's about, other than both brilliant and insane. That's about all I know about it. But honestly, based solely on the word-of-mouth I've heard, I've been looking in every store I come across for several years without success. NOw I don't need to! It's right here in my living room.
Probably about to open a portal to a dimension of incomprehensible torment.
...
The full haul!
Plus, of course, the greatest gift of all...
An empty box full of shiny wrapping paper! The box tore a little down the side when I sat Kees in it and pushed around the floor chasing the dog. It was awesome.
Fishman I'm gonna need some info on that gloriously shaggy dag of yours.
Lexie? I've had her since she was a wee pup.
She's a Newf, and such a big softy.
She's really sociable with people, and loves to be involved. On game night, when all our friends come around, she'll sit under the table so she's surrounded by people. Absolutely loves it.
Unfortunately she gets frustrated with other dogs. She's kinda big and klutzy, but all she really wants is to play and have fun, and doesn't understand that she's a big galumphing giant who can play a bit rough. And if they don't want to play, if they growl or are intimidated by her size, then she gets angry and frustrated and isn't afraid to show it; it's like Jareth out of Labyrinth: if they cower before her, she will become frightening.
She's been great with Kees, though.
He can pick up her bones out of her mouth while she's chewing them or run his hands through her food at breakfast time and she'll just pull back and let him. Has never so much as snapped at him, regardless of how much long-suffering patience he demands from her.
And he's pretty interested in her, too.
All up, she's a great dog. She's had her share of big-dog medical problems, but she's never given us reason to complain personality wise; she's just a big dumb friendly mutt, and I love her to bits.

@lostwords has said he's @MetroidZoid's satan, but the haul was never posted. I hope everything is okay MZ!
For a time it was once a month or so. Then I started making and freezing the fresh stuff. I'm out now, but have been thinking about some homemade lasagna in the very near (rather cold) future.
The machine is tops!
many thanks, mystery person! I can't wait!
I actually haven't played any of the Bioshocks, and I almost got Infinite when it was on sale for ten bucks. Glad I didn't! Gonna play through these bad boys in order.
Hail Satan!
My satan got me a ton of coffee from a local(?) roaster
Is this also from my Satan I am assuming cause 1: HELLA RAD and 2: absolutely nothing in the box except a pre-order slip for this HELLA RAD pendant
Sweet thank you! This was an awesome Satans haul I was dying from the mystery and they put your email on the slip and I was trying to be sneaky and figure out who it was on the forums from your completely unrelated email address, haha
:P Well, enjoy your gifts! Especially Bayonetta. Play that shit ASAP, as it's basically the best third person action game ever made.
Twas me! I didnt dare face the post office lines the last few days, but I wanted to make sure you got something on Christmas.
Hey Satan!

In addition to the stuff that you have in WoW, you have a few more items on the way, including some special CRAFTED BY @SHERI creations

More of an experience than a book.
Rockin' gifts!
d'aww at naming your new pup after me :bz
Now where might this be going...?
Random tidbit;
According to my local bookstore House of Leaves gets stolen from stores a lot so keep it safe
This is how it is done. Seriously though, I'm super stoked with all of your gifts. Thanks again!!
@GOATMON, YOU LOVEABLE FIEND! I WOULD HAVE EATEN YOUR FUDGE! I WOULD HAVE PUT UP THROUGH THE PAIN!
AWW YESSSS!
I HAVE WANTED TO READ THIS FOR A LONG TIME!
