    I should of did this a few weeks back, Lots gone on on the home front.

    I came home, soaking wet, after a very blustery rainy work day to see this package at my back door. In it was the following!

    Having not played Metal Gear in a long while, this got me a warmed up! And the soundtrack? Full of awesomeness!

    Thank you Santa!!

    I've had a tracking number proxied to me! Giftage has cleared customs and will probably arrive here in a few days time. Thank you, Santa!

    Thanks great thejaxx! I've been eyeing the Revengence soundtrack on vinyl for a while, but it doesn't look like it's going to drop in price.

    Well I've put my Christmas decorations away, and stopped playing Christmas music, and finally cleaned house. And while cleaning I found a note from Santa I must have overlooked in my haste and excitement the day I opened my gifts! The note mentions how I like to guess at my Santa, but gives me the information necessary to find out for sure. I'm proud to say I sleuthed away and guessed correctly without the help!

    Thanks again @Prime for a wonderful package of gifts. I'm still eating away at the chocolate!

    And thanks as always @hypatia for putting on an awesome show. You absolutely rock, each and every year.

    Woot! A package JUST arrived at my door, delivered by the stalwart workers of the United States Postal Service. It weighed so much that my wife said someone sent me bricks!
    PyGKOAA.jpg?1

    Hmm...this seems to be some pretty heavy paper! Maybe those Andes peeking out of the corner are some new kind of super-dense chocolate?
    jfgWbDS.jpg?1

    Holy Hell! No wonder it weighed so much! It had the entire TARDIS in it!
    mN2RpM2.jpg

    This thing is AWESOME! The picture doesn't do it any justice at all. It's about 4" tall and weighs 2 and a half pound! If i had to guess, I'd say it's carved/molded out of Bismuth! It's all rainbow shiny and super cool! @Radiation, this is absolutely amazing! I can't wait to clear off the fireplace mantle of stupid christmas stuff so we can put it on display with the rest of our Doctor Who bits!

    Edit: To be clear, this is the second present, the first being a copy of Kerbal Space Program, which I promptly used to nearly kill a brave Kerbal. I'm still working out the whole "Put more rockets to send them into space" thing...

    Not going to lie ... When you talked about being sent bricks, I had a flash of someone playing off that "box of rocks PS4" story from the other week.
    I'm glad it didn't turn out to be that. :p

    I was a bit upset the inside didn't turn out like I hoped. I'll keep giving it a go. I wasn't able to send the other part I was working on (because it wasn't finished). But I was really happy to get you as a Santee! You've been super awesome at gifting and was hoping I could get you something special! <3

    Allow me to apologize both to my Santa, @cooljammer00, and my Santee @UnbreakableVow‌ for being pretty terrible at posting lately. Work's been hell.

    Anyoo, Cooljammer started by perplexing me with a second Cards Against Humanity 10 Days of Kwanzaa. I did the Holiday Bullshit last year, so it was my wife's turn to participate, or so I thought. Day 1 had two envelopes, and I was quite confused. I now own two plots on Hawaii 2!

    B5hzfQiCAAAjGdv.jpg

    While this going on, my Steam inventory expanded to included Saints Row IV:Game of the Century, Serious Sam 3, Risk of Rain, and I think also Spelunky.

    The final gift was a wrestling T-Shirt from an indy wrestler, Dasher Hatfield. I had no idea who this was, but I'm looking into his work now! Also, I am getting a kick out of the Cesaro parody:

    Dasher Hatfield is basically a baseball player who is also a pro wrestler, who may or may not also be a human baseball. I can't tell if it's just the style of mask he wears or if it's part of the persona, kinda like how he wrestles with the Colony (guys who wear ant costumes and/or may also be ants)

    Basically check out Chikara. My gift to you as we enter another month of the WWE doldrums is the gift of knowledge that indy wrestling exists.

    I'd panic, but it's a work address that has random fans visit occasionally anyway, so not much privacy is being lost here.

    Fedex says I should get my present tomorrow. Which coincidentally enough, is also the day I take a final exam at work (I've been in training for the last two months). If you don't make certain score on the exam, they let you go.

    So either the presents are going to be a great cap to a stressful day, or a great pick me up for a horrible day.

    Excited to find which!

    The Rookie isn't a horror book. It's about scifi football rigged by the mafia. The worst thing that happens is that a drug smuggler gets eaten alive by ants. Perfectly wholesome for the whole family!

    Final gift get!
    A hand-wrapped gift?
    egXfTg8.jpg

    Oh man, this has been on my wishlist for so long that I'd forgot I added it on there! I was really hype about buying this back in the day. I actually almost bought it on several occasions, but was kinda broke at the time and couldn't justify it. Now it is miiiiine!
    DavzRfD.jpg

    And inside, there's a letter:
    minirhyder wrote:
    Dear Dan "Imperfect" Hulton,

    You're my second Canadian santee in a row. I've found that shipping around to those parts can get pretty expensive, and frankly I'd much rather spend my money buying you cool stuff than shipping it. As such, you'll see that all the stuff I've purchased was from Canadian merchants sent directly to you. However, I've always felt this was a bit too impersonal, and I wanted to send you something from me that made this unique. Hence the letter.

    Now on to the gifts. First let me apologize for the fact that the gifts are a bit disjointed and have come in at a time that's a tad inconvenient for you. This was my fault as I've been dilly dallying with this this year, really for no good reason. Having said that, let's go over the gifts.

    I took a gander at your wishlist and saw that you had kinetic sand on there. That's cool and all, but magnets are so much cooler! They stick to things! I myself have been having quite a bit of fun with magnets lately, and I hope you enjoy them as well.

    The card game Hanabi has been a favorite since I've been introduced to it about a year ago. Since then I whip it out as often as possible in social settings. A word of warning - don't try to explain how to play this game under the influence. It won't happen. Learn to play first, then enjoy whatever vices you choose.

    I saw that you were an avid player of iOS games. I really wanted to fuel this, however, as an American I cannot purchase items from the Canadian iOS store. This made me very sad. But have no fear! Perhaps there will be a Steam related gift in the future! I can't not fuel your gaming habits.

    Lastly, I saw that you had V for Vendetta on your wishlist. I also saw that I had v for Vendetta on my bookshelf. I put forth the argument that this isn't really cheating because I already had the novel (for ages, too!) and therefore did not purchase it for you from your wishlist. It's part of the personal touch to my gift. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    So. I hope that you've enjoyed my gifts as much as I've enjoyed thinking them up and buying them (hit: it's a lot). Happy holidays and 'til next year!

    Okay.

    So.

    I have to say, I'm legitimately overwhelmed here. Fun magnet toys, a nearly-prescient card game gift, a Steam game I've longed for, and finally, this, a book from your very own bookshelf. Your own book! That you owned! Holy crap!

    This is probably the most Christmas cheer I've felt from Secret Santa yet. I'm just...

    Just thank you so, so much. This is amazing.

    It's ok, I'm pretty sure one year I sent him a Layton game wrapped in paper printed with the PA comic of "i haf twelve metchsteeks" "Fuuuccckkk YOOUUuu!" so the kids are probably already scarred.

    I'm sorry I've been so slow in getting this second box to you (and shipping across the continent doesn't make it any faster!). I hope you've been enjoying your early gifts in the meantime.

    Feel free to open these two however you like. I'm sad to report that I was working on a small painting for you... but it just wasn't coming out the way I wanted it and I was really disappointed. I tend to have a very vivid imagination, but am not quite so artfully inclined as to be able to put such things into physical manifestation and it often frustrates me. :(

    BUT! That means instead of having to remove one of these tastefully chosen boxes to put that in... you just get both of them!

    [some exposition regarding the contents of the package, here, moved below to go with the images]

    Hope you enjoy these new games. And have a merry new year (since... ya know... late and stuff)!

    Happy holidays

    It is signed with what I can only assume is my Santa's userpic. I WILL FIND YOU SANTA!

    The square one. Present-based excitement holding:

    A little rip n' tear:

    And inside: pure glory! It's Blood Bowl Team Manager: The Card Game!

    From the note:
    You mentioned liking medieval history/culture as well as games so... you get both! It's medieval fantasy football! If you aren't familiar with Blood Bowl, it's awesome. It's basically classical fantasy teams (orcs, elves, humans, etc) playing cheaty football against each other. The original game is a big Games Workshop box with miniatures for each team that you buy. This is a slimmed down card version that seems to be well received. It also has a couple expansions if you really like it and want new teams.

    Thank you Santa! I actually had a friend that played the original BB growing up, so I'm kind of familiar, despite only having played it a few times, long ago. This looks like it'll align perfectly to my schedule and interests. Much appreciated!

    Next, the not-square one. Still excited:

    Within: expandy goodness! Specifically, the Guilds expansion for Dominion! (Some disappointment here, from the wee lady, now that the presents are all unwrapped.)

    From the note:
    I see on your list of games that you already have Dominion and one expansion (which leads me to believe you enjoy it). So here, HAVE ANOTHER! Hmm... you are in Canada. Hopefully these English language cards will work fine for you?? Whatever, welcome to 'MERICA!

    Santa, you're a mind reader. I spent a bunch of time over the holidays playing Dominion with my brother and soon to be sister-in-law, and I was thinking to myself that I needed to grab another expansion for it. Thank you so much!
    (English language stuff is fine, of course - I'm fully anglophone. I just like to put extra "u"s in some of my words.)

    All this on top of the awesomeness already sent! I'm floored.
    Now I just have to discover who you are, Santa, so I can call you out in front of everyone, and they'll see how goddamned nice you are. Seriously, you're awesome.

    EDIT: @Custom Special‌ please step forward and claim your accolades as a frickin' awesome Santa.

    Also... a big thanks to @Hypatia‌ for bringing us all together again this year. Best. Community. Ever.

    Kinda messed up to have your kid unwrap gifts that aren't meant for her, and also they're horror books.
    Clearly the Santa's fault for not getting the kids stuff!

    When we went to visit my brother for Christmas my 3-year-old nephew opened everyone's gifts for them. He knew they weren't for him but had fun tearing.off the paper and helping.

    I don't think that's messed up at all.

    That was the gift that arrived before hand. The fantasy lego set for both Jam and his daughter to enjoy.

    Another gift arrived yesterday, but with no card or anything. Is that from you? I ask because it's the X-Wing expansion Imperial Aces, which is what you gave me. Did you order 2 copies? And if so, was it intentional or an accident?
