    Hypatia says there are naughty Santees who didn't post gifts, but we have zero deadbeats.

    I hate to see the last faint remnants of the holiday season fade away, but all good things must come to an end. Let's all give another round of applause for @Hypatia's tireless work year after year!

    PROXY SHALL RETURN

    I do not, in fact, have any fancy pictures of gifts. I had been holding off for a while to see if there was going to be anything else arriving, as is my wont. I tend to have a fear of early-posting for some reason.

    I had received 2 humble bundles as an initial salvo. Within a week, I had noticed a package from Thriftbooks and I did not recall ordering anything (I was between book-purchasing sprees at the time), and found that it contained a copy of the second volume of the Preacher series, quite a lovely gift. I do not have a picture at this point as I didn't think to take one at the time and I have since given it to a good friend, as the Preacher series is so lovely that I actually have had the whole thing for quite some time.

    The Santa who keeps on giving @testsubject23‌ has sent me a parcel via Amazon! I was a little confused as I'd ordered a DVD for my mum a couple of days ago and it was gift wrapped - I'm easy to confuse!
    Then I saw the note!! Woo, it's a game for my 3DSXL, it will be coming to London with me tomorrow and keep me company at the hospital whilst I'm having tests done :)
    It's Fantasy Life, which I've never played before, but looking forward to!

    Thank you @testsubject23‌ for my very lovely gifts :) xxx

    Oh man, LewieP's Mummy, you are going to LOVE that game.

    I generally prefer my games to be like 20 hours because then I'm getting bored, but I've sunk 75 into that (very optional, you don't HAVE to spend that much time) and I'm STILL having fun.

    One more gift (I am tardy posting this picture):

    @minirhyder‌, you are full of generosity this year! I used to have a set of the ball magnets forever ago and damn near wore the coating off them.

    Thanks to you, yet again!

    It finally arrived!
    GiftGet-1_zpsf0a91d66.gif

    I was notified of a package in my box... I rushed out to get it, hoping it wasn't more Amazon items my wife ordered.
    IMAG0193.jpg

    An epic space battle erupted on the surface of the package. No wonder it's so beat up.
    Only two of the air pockets were un-popped... that poor package went through a lot to get here. Also, FOREIGN FOODSTUFFS!IMAG0194.jpg

    Lurking below the amazing goodies was a letter, written in the ancient way.
    IMAG0195.jpg

    Many foodstuffs, and many packs of Magic cards were found within! The whole shebang:
    With photobomb from youngest daughter.IMAG0196.jpg

    We're going to crack open Ticket to Ride Saturday night and have amazing snacks! Thank you so much Santa! (My wife started drooling when she saw the actual truffles)

    And the pulls from the packs!
    I've started building Tiny Leaders decks, the format has been blowing up around here. These pulls are going to help imensely! Notable cards: Anafenza, Xenagos (planeswalker version), Temple Garden, Hallowed Fountain, Boros Reckoner and Ash Zealot. The Commander decks are going to be a huge help with that as well. Thanks so much again!IMAG0197.jpg

    Now please reveal yourself!

    E: After some astute sleuthing it appears my Santa is @Chen! Am I right?

    Awesome! Also I grew up at the yakota base! Hope Okinawa is treating you well!

    Santa, I've read through deadly class and the wicked + the divine so far. They're both awesome. The acid trip issue of deadly class is probably the coolest visual I've ever seen in the medium. It's a gonzo road trip in comic form

    Is it weird that the first thing I noticed was that you have a large number of sandwiches there?

    Phew. I thought it'd never arrive. It literally took a month to get there! I'm awfully sorry for the delay. I'm not very punctual I'm afraid (LewieP's Mummy can attest). Hope you like the gifts! Enjoy Board Game Saturday!

    The last of my gifts arrived just the other day. This has truly been a marathon Christmas!
    9kxcxfow1m25.jpg

    Another wild Loot Crate appears! This one looks wilier than the last. REVEAL YOUR SECRETS!
    ogq8x3o0wztx.jpg

    A veritable smorgasbord of nerdly delights! A Space Invaders tie that I cannot wait to wear to the office, 8-Bit Sunglasses that look straight outta Regular Show, Comic Note Book which will make meetings with vendors sales reps considerably less boring, a retro NES cart come to life figurine, a Loot Crate button (naturally), and.. by Chewbacca's mustache, it's the new Star Wars #1! Not pictured: a bitchin Voltron t-shirt that my wife immediately claimed for her own and ran off with.

    Thank you @cornell .. let it be known that you are a righteous dude!

    sorry for the late response, I had posted pics earlier but I guess they were never posted in the gifts thread.

    I have one last Secret Santa 2014
    GiftGet-1_zpsf0a91d66.gif

    The last of my gifts arrived just the other day. This has truly been a marathon Christmas!

    My Santa was the ever-awesome @LewieP's Mummy During the Christmas season she was a bit under the weather, so her usual gift of a painting was delayed. She was gracious enough to post the progress on her blog, and I got the finished work the other day!
    I eagerly opened the box to find a bonus gift: ENGLISH CANDY to act as cushioning! There was also a VW Bus mug that I forgot to take a picture of by itself, but you can see it in the top right.

    Finally, here is the painting itself! This is by far one of the coolest presents I have ever received! Huge thanks to @LewieP's Mummy for this smashing gift!

    I saw the thread and thought it was slightly early for signups.
    I see signups are not happening and I can't (legally) start stalking people yet.
    I am disappoint.

    Still though, that painting is rad as hell!
