    There's a Wall-E LEGO?! I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner, but I love that it is a thing now. Seems like a great LEGO model. Unfortunately my children would likely destroy it almost immediately. I'm lucky I keep them away from my X-Wing.

    Great gifts and so early!

    One of the biggest problems among nerd dads. I'm trying to teach my son what he can and can't touch in dad's game room/office.

    I've already lost master chief's head. :(

    Some LEGO are meant to be built and destroyed.

    Others are art. :-D

    Make him watch The LEGO movie, then explain that just because the dad in the movie eventually let his kid play with his toys doesn't mean that you have to do so as well.

    I can't ever bring myself to glue LEGO. My dad did it when I was younger and I couldn't stand it.

    Santa this is a biggie. I found a better deal for the Xbone so I went ahead and bit on it. Got an Xbone, Gears Remaster, AC Unity, Halo MCC, and Halo 5 coming too me, so if you want to use the Xbone as a jumping off point you're clear for take off. I think my parents are going to get me Sunset Overdrive and Rare Replay for Christmas. I promise that's the last I'll buy, well except maybe Fallout 4.

    Santa, I am pretty terrible about impulse buying things I want. Have been doing a bit more PC and PS4 gaming than when I wrote up my hints, but I will refrain from buying anything else for myself until 2016 (I do have Star Wars Battlefront preordered though).

    Well, I might break down when the Steam holiday sale comes around. I am only human.

    It's fun how the internet can remove all sorts of identifiers like age, race, and sex. Then it all comes crashing down when you find out someone is half your age. :D Or when you find out @Elin actually is a dog who has learned to make crafts. (I'm not the only one to assume your avatar is at least in some way related to who a person is, right? @mare_imbrium is Isabella and @Mighty is an angry tomato as far as I'm concerned.)

    I always associate people with their avatars more than their handles (see, handles, there I go dating myself again). If everyone were to drastically change their avatars (Christmasifying is fine) I wouldn't know who anybody was.

    I'm on a special mission!

    I've had a follow up email:
    I'm glad your daughter figured out her part of the gift.

    I do apologize for the early gifting, I was concerned Lego Wall-E would either go out of stock or get gouged in price if I waited longer.

    Please thank your wife for me for taking the appropriate action for the gifts. I will be sure to mark the next part appropriately.

    Shhhh It's a Secret

    Santa should not apologise for gifting. Santa is awesome. Also thanks to the book my daughter now finds farts hilarious, and if she does one herself she giggles and loudly asks:

    "Did you hear that trump?"

    This is something I'll need to remind her when she's grown up.

    It took a book to explain the humour of farting to your daughter?

    British Parenting Fail.

    At age three my daughter was on to such advanced concepts as 'blaming your baby sister' and wondering if she could play tunes.

    Also that Beaton book has totally gone on my Christmas 'to buy' list for my daughters so good work SS thread. Keep it up.

    I was on the receiving end of a "see317 Taffy Package" (not as obscene as it sounds, but still a little obscene) last year. It was straight-up delicious.

    If you're getting the book you should also make sure you accessorize it with a plush pony as well.

    Hint post for my Santa:

    I realized you could probably use a hint post since all I said in my message was "I Like Nintendo."

    My wife and I have a Wii U, 2 2DSes, a PS3, and a whole bunch of cats. Shirt size is 3XL. We have Lootcrate and Nerdblock: ArcadeBlock subscriptions.

    If you're really stuck, I have an amazon wish list that I'm sure you can find.

    If I can think of anything else, I'll update this post.

    Well @HiT BiT was great as always. Now I light up the night with my fancy lights.

    And, I feel like I'm slow, even though I know I have some time with theses gifts so fast.

    I'm not putting my tree up yet but I bought one for the office and I wanted to make sure it worked...

    and that some of the decorations I got for it look nice...

    and then I thought I'd take a few pictures...

    see how it looks through an indoor window by my bed...

    XF1in1el.jpg

    The real shame is it'll be too much work to take down now until I put it in the office on the 1st. Oh well. Guess it'll have to stay there.

    I should really finish the tree topper tomorrow... and the burlap tree skirt...

    So I'm looking at my inbox this morning after getting in to work, just casually browsing through.
    I see a few emails here and there, one of them from Steam. Steam sends me emails all the time though, telling me a game on my wishlist is on sale, a new game is on Steam, that sort of stuff.

    Except something was a little different this morning.

    Wait, don't Steam emails usually end up in the Updates category?
    :o A gift of Fallout 4?! But it just came out!!

    Woooooo!! I know what I'm doing tonight!!

    And apparently this is only phase 2. You guys, THERE'S MORE TO COME.

    Thanks @Mace1370, you've given me the gift of oversea snacks and post apocalyptic Boston.

    This is amazing, I'm blown away!

    Santa I know I said that I wasn't buying anything else, but then CAH had to go and put up their 8 Sensible Gifts for Hanukkah, and then get this, they had the gumption to say this is the last holiday bullshit they're ever doing. So I had no choice. I'm sorry that's for real the last thing.

    Yeah sorry Santa. I saw that email standing in line for chipotle and immediately signed up for that. I was coming here to tell everyone it was up but it looks like I'm not alone

    I hear tell my Santa wants hints so

    food stuffs-

    candy

    beef jerky

    spicy things

    I also like these cookies

    especially things from different countries like this too

    games, I'm good on games right now

    I could always use more perler beads, preferably solid colors

    and jump rings (saw cut, been wanting to try squares for a whlie)


    I also probably need a new iron, the heat distribution on mine is all weird.


    Do with that as you will.

    Also Santee check your email. You probably don't know who you are yet, so all of you check. :P
