    Just set them as the shipping address? After you proceed to checkout you just need to set them as the new address. I'm not sure if there is any other way to do it. I've still got a couple santees saved in there because I never remember to delete them. Maybe I'll just send weird things every once in a while to them. Who knows!

    Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. I'm a little bummed about doing it that way but after being sick for a week I had cut it too close to get everything sent to me, rearannged and sent back... but i did stick in a few things to spice up what I was originally going to get with a last minute surge of inspiration... It was surge, I'm sorry if you have a heart condition.

    ...


    It wasn't surge.

    Or wasn't it?

    Just wanted to chime in for anyone who is still doing some Christmas shopping and planning to make some purchases at Amazon, check out the Amazon Smile program. A percentage of the purchase price will be donated by Amazon to a charity of your choosing (Child's Play is an option!) at no additional cost to you.

    Just in case anyone was wondering how my husband was doing:
    He's produced 24 stones so far. No one seems to know why he's producing enough stones to start his own beach. We have found out the stones aren't calcium, which is normal, but uric acid. There will be more testing so it's a good thing his insurance is pretty good.

    I'm thinking of putting up my tree but that means digging it out of my closet and cleaning the table to sit it on.

    Not sure why but anything I post after that spoiler section goes into the spoiler, even if they're outside the closing tag. Is that new or am I doing it wrong?

    You have two closing tags which might be doing it.

    For this one, you misspelled spoiler in the closer, the i is wrong. Don't know if that is what your talking about.

    Posting on my phone is fun, you never know what it's going to decide to type. Add in my lack of proof reading and you get errors like this. Nice that it still worked while mis-spelled.

    Spoiler will work without a closing. However, everything beyond that is, spoiler. I am not sure if that is the only tag that works like this.

    On the seventh day of not Christmas my true love gave to me, some games from EA, OH GOD please don't hurt me! :whistle:

    signature.png

    I also have Origin keys for Dead Space 1, 3, and an Origin Copy of Crysis 2 Maximum Edition. Since the last couple non-steam attempts to just give away keys on the forums turned into a miserable potentially thieving disaster, I'm going to distribute these in a different way. First person to PM me asking for each gets they key.

    I unleashed a UPS (or FedEx!) algorithm to deliver a package to my Santee who's name has 2 vowels in it.

    Get ready for Friday. Or Saturday. I told them to deliver it on Saturday if possible. Or I guess Monday. I don't know. That might be ok as a "get the week going with something neat" situation.

    Just be looking out Santee. With 2 vowels. And a few consonants.

    Dear Santa! Thank you so much for the gift. I love it all. My little guy especially will love the shark attack hot wheels set. Pictures to be posted in a day or so! A triceratops may or may not have assisted in the unwrapping.

    In honor of December, I've finally started purchasing gifts! Santee, you're going to like this stuff. Are you going to love it?

    We put out mini tree today, tomorrow we'll most likely decorate the bigger tree. Excuse the slight mess, I haven't really cleaned in the last week. We would actually decorate the mini tree every year but got tired of dealing with the tiny ornaments so I hot glued everything on this year.

    I have been a terrible Santee. Haven't touched my PC in a few days, but diligently checked my emails...

    Steam didn't tell me I had another gift pending from Santa until I looked just now!

    Survival Horror and Crafting! Cannibalism! This sounds like the best Christmas ever! Now to go chop down a tree on a cannibal.

    Thanks again CaptainPilot, whoever you may be. *Glares at fellow forumers with accusing eyes*

    It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to put your preference for puzzle solving in future sign up PMs, some of us really like to do that approach but not if the Santee doesn't like it.

    Eh I've yet to see a santa that cares whether you crowdsource the solution or one that starts offering help pretty quickly. I couldn't solve mine in any way but still thought it was neat and thoughtful.

    Hey Santa, quick update. I'm going to flying back home to California the 24th-27th. May not impact anything, just thought I'd let you know when I would be out of town.

    Also, my new job is awesome and I can post on here while working! And I think I'll get my Santee something from here! Everyone's a winner!

    Got another picture. Still doesn't look like anything to me.

    edit: I'm wondering if it will end up being my santa's avatar or something given the shape of it though. Would make the most sense.

    Are the colors all similar? It could be that you could do a few photoshop overlays or subtracting and some funny business, wave a magic wand, then you might have something noticeably recognizable?

    It's clearly an image, I just can't see anything. Here are two of the three versions since I've uploaded them already.

    You can sort of see why I think it's an avatar.
