A thing from my wishlist! Love Neverwhere so looking forward to this.
Another thing from my wishlist! To my shame I've yet to see this. I hear it's quite good. Soon I will understand the meaning of these reactions I leave on people's posts at random.
A where's WallyWaldo Dr. Woo book! At just turned five my eldest is still a bit young for the good Dr but I'm sure it won't be long. In the meantime I think this is ace so it's all good.
Cute fluffiness for my little 'uns. The cutest! The fluffiest! They will love this.
And the starring jewel in the crown.
OMG! I love it so much! It has so many different bits you can use and it's so posable it's insane. I have of course busted it open and set up an action pose.
Added to the Steam stuff from before this is a ridiculously good haul.
Thank you so much mystery Santa! I'm knackered right now but I'll start my reverse stalking to attempt to track you down soon.

Heh, glad I'm not the only one who owns the Sam and Max cartoon. It's great.
@Dac Vin sent me an awesome set to get me started with painting. Which is very cool because I was *just* thinking about moving to canvas! Thank you so much!
(Sorry for crappy quality photo. I am re-doing the lighting in this room and so it's super dark)
Bit late, but glad to see everything arrived just fine! Can't wait to see what you'll put on those canvases, and I'm sure it's the same for everyone here.
Huzzah the bread bottle didn't break! You figured it out @shadowane . I totally forgot to include a note, but I saw you like beer hence the "Bottleloft" and the beer bread. Then some extra for fun goodies for your Wii U and your wee one!
The bottleloft thing sounds cool, hopefully it works out for you!
Sorry they didn't include anything in the box, I even sent them a message and asked for gift messaging! Ah well. Glad you enjoyed it!
Just getting home from a long night shift at work at check my e-mail, and what do I see but two steam e-mails saying that I have been gifted!
The first:
Nice! Nuclear Throne! This has been on my wishlist for a while, but I haven't pulled the trigger. Now that it is officially out, I can start to learn to be just as bad at this as I am as Issac!
The Second:
Ooooooooh yessssssss; I loved the last XCom game and I am super pumped up for XCom 2 (Even more so now that youtube videos are starting to surface showing off all the new stuff!)
Thanks so much @Imperfect !
I know I am one of the harder guys to stalk due to posting very little over my ten years on the forum, but you nailed it!

I'm just happy to see you happy! I kept putting off buying for you because I was having no luck stalking, but then I remembered you'd put your Steam ID in your info, which really saved my bacon.
I hope XCom 2 ends up being good - I keep reading wonderful previews of it, and I am personally super excited for it to come out and be wonderful. I hope that ends up being a fun gift!
The tracking seemed to say my package was delivered. I went to post office yesterday to check P.O Box. I needed to sign. So I guess I'm going monday and hope to get it than.

Apparently my santa is a ninja, he was anonymous last year too.
I received a package in the mail which I attributed to another Secret Santa, but they had no idea. Since it arrived at the same time as the other's box of goodies and I didn't see a note (though admittedly I didn't check very thoroughly, again due to the first package), I may have missed it! :-(
Santa, if you're out there, the sweater is in hand, and if there isn't a sweater Santa here then I'm even more confused than I was before, and may need an adult!
Forar on
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!
Now that I'm all caught up, I can finally open the gifts that have arrived from my Santa! I've been using them as motivation to get the wall updated.
Not only did one wild box appear, but two! A veritable flock!
A note greeted me when I opened the first box:
As soon as I opened the box, the smell of chocolate hit me.
With such a strong chocolate smell, I can only assume that I am about to be delighted.
A moose! Two moose! In milk and dark varieties! Does that make them meese?
Peppermint bark from the far north, clearly denizens so much closer to the North Pole must be experts!
A gaming MMO mouse! I will have to try this out for my next raid!
My santa wasn't even done, a second box!
This one was filled with camoflaging paper.
Woah, what's this?! An illustrated geek cookbook?
I can already spot some recognizable characters on the cover!
Recipes from science fiction! Look, ice planets from Firefly!
This book really has everything!
The full haul!
Thank you so much vhannroy! Such riches!
I've already had a ton of fun paging through the cookbook identifying origins in the cookbook and I am somewhat ashamed to say that my husband and I may have already committed mooseicide, but they were delicious! The mouse is incredibly fancy looking, I've never had something so complex so I'll definitely give it a go. Maybe it will mean less people will fall over dead in my raids!
The next part of my present has arrived! Lo, it is this:
"Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell", in two formats, two mediums; a commentary on the duality of mankind.
Still no clues to my Santa's identity, but I thank them all the same! This looks really cool; I've never heard of the novel or the TV series, but this seems to be directly up my alley.
According to the message I received via Proxy, there should be at least one more package coming, apparently containing sweets. I'm very excited about this!

It was me!
Bizarrely the novel was on your wishlist, unless it was one of those "amazon also recommends" things, but it seemed to fit with your tastes and the none white male book criteria anyway :-)
The TV series is very British, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I hope you do too.
Final parcel is on its way but experience says postage can take some time!
Enjoy the cinema tickets, twitter stalking revealed Deadpool was one of the first comics you picked up iirc so I really wanted to get you tickets to the movie, then you've Batman vs Superman, Civil War and xmen coming up.
The cinema looked neat and was closest to you according to Google maps, they were also super helpful accepting payment from the UK, though we did have to exchange about fifteen emails and I had to manually write my card details down on a form, sign it and scan it back in! I was very relieved when the gift certificate showed up.
Well, the good news is I finished shopping for my Santee and have wrapped all the gifts. Now the issue becomes getting to the post office. I wish this time of year they'd do a few evenings a week where they'd stay open until 6ish.

First batch of Ebelskivers:
And then finished:
My youngest said it was the best food he has ever had so thanks again @The Mantiz !
That is so awesome! They look pretty much perfect.
But it is funny to see them served with, what I assume is some kind of syrup. But when I think about it, it would actually be pretty good, since the dough is similar to pancake dough. We always just dip them in strawberry jam.

My goodness, you're right. I have to assume that it was one of those things where I read some high praise of it and tossed it on the wish list with the intent to check it out later, and then never got back to it.
You know my wish list better than me!
The TV series is very British, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I hope you do too.
Final parcel is on its way but experience says postage can take some time!
As I said before, timing is no issue. It's all good!
Unless there's, like, a live puppy inside. Or a raw rack of lamb.

Man, that's some grade-A stalking. I'm very impressed! Yeah, "Cable & Deadpool" was what got me into buying comics on a regular basis - or, in other words, "I liked Deadpool before he was cool".
Thank you, @Mr_Grinch. Truly, you have made my heart grow three sizes this day.
Apologies seems everyone decided that they wanted to make 8000 requests before the holidays at my work so I have been swamped but ALAS! I am here to update.
So my Secret Santa has decided they will be spreading out the fun by breaking my gifts into three sets.
The First I received I do not have a picture for the reason for this being is they were delicious home baked goods that my wife and 15 month devoured!
The content consisted of : Banana Nut Bread, tasted great especially paired with a scotch. Peppermint Pinwheels, my wife adored these and was extremely grateful for the surprise.
The best though were the cookies, I do not remember the name of them but they were reminiscent to thumbprint cookies, these did not last though as I had left them on the shelf next to the bed and the next morning while my wife was at an appointment I was "dozing" while "watching" the kid, I opened my eyes to see him covered in cookie flakes and flakes scattered across the floor with the biggest smile ever.
Part 2 of my gift arrived Friday:
I have not read any of these but I am very excited too, each one of these correlates to things that I enjoy whether it be RPGs, Super Powers or just some Brian Vaughan.
So thank you Secret Santa, and in regards to the comment on your note, I have no idea who you are and no worries I wont revers track or anything, that spoils the fun.
That is so awesome! They look pretty much perfect.
But it is funny to see them served with, what I assume is some kind of syrup. But when I think about it, it would actually be pretty good, since the dough is similar to pancake dough. We always just dip them in strawberry jam.
Yep, we had them with 100% real syrup. We didn't think about Strawberry Jam but maybe next time.
"He's sulking in his tent like Achilles! It's the Iliad?...from Homer?! READ A BOOK!!" -Handy
Ok, after fail on Saturday, and a half hour line at post office today, I have gifts. . .
Sophie dog investigates to make sure they aren't a bomb. Her interest makes me think they are ok.
Everyone uses cloth napkins to hide the address right?
Sophie dog dives into package one. She smells something strange. . . I don't know what yet, but I think she needs to investigate more.
She smelled Scully!
I don't even know when I talked about the x-files on the PA. Me and the wife are so looking forward to the re-boot.
So they say it is bigger on the inside than the outside, but does that work if you can't get your head in the door?
Scully looking at last years Dr. Who box. She investigates weird things right?
box two needed more sniffing, but Sophie dog wasn't interested. Nothing paranormal here I guess. What could it be?
A wrapped gift, with a note:
More games? I like games, but I have no idea what could be this heavy. . .
I cried. Yes I did. I have no idea who sent this, as I can't find any clues.
I was going to reveal my identity when all three packages got to you, but the third one hasn't shipped yet (supposedly will ship on Wednesday) and I will not live my life according to Amazon's shipping schedules!

Glad you like it so far! :twisted:
I really don't know what to say. I think I have done a good job of keeping for the most part my personal woes out of the forums. I figure most people don't want to hear woe is me. I had looked at the link because my son wants to play his and my steam library, but I don't' trust him at my computer alone. In the living room, with the link will be much easier to watch him. I think most games he plays are with the controller anyway, so that is jst great.
Anyway, I just wasn't expecting this. As for the woe, life hasn't been as good as expected, but I'm keeping my head up and that is that. Again PA comes out ahead of most groups you would find on the internet.
Yay! It's always stressful knowing that holiday cheer is depending on USPS. I'm glad it arrived safely.
I found out that while I have a P.O. Box, and would expect to not have to sign for a package, I had to sign for a package, and as such wait in a half hour line. . . Boo USPS. For all the good they do, I just don't get this one. I thought the point of a P.O. Box was so you didn't have to be there to get the package, and it was guaranteed to be safe.

Let's see now... Seems pretty acceptable actually. With the exception of Paul. Pegg and Frost on the cover fooled me into that clunker.
Bit late, but glad to see everything arrived just fine! Can't wait to see what you'll put on those canvases, and I'm sure it's the same for everyone here.
Given I got my awesome gifts last month, I'll just sit back and watch you amazing people work your Christmas magic!
Paul was fun!
CaptainPilot was kind enough to send me this, supposedly a taste of things to come:
I can vouch that it's fantastic, since I sadly bought it just this morning. :P But I'll ensure it finds a good home, all the same. Thanks Captain!

The second half of my gift from @anoffday came!
I love these things. It's kind of weird that they didn't come in the same package, though; I bet they would have fit. Goofy Amazon.
Thank you again!

Krypto the corgi is on the case!
A HotS Illidan figure! Illidan was one of my first assassins. This one is actually quite detailed!
Ooo, cool. These look like randomized mini figures. You don't know which one you will get!
Looks like a Nova! I think it's super cute that they make her transparent, like she is cloaked.
Thanks Santa! These were perfect
Illidan is now posed on the bookcase and Nova is on top of my right desktop speaker!
