to: my secret santa,

I'm going to do some investigating as to why I didn't receive my package. If you didn't send it through the US Postal Service, can you have someone let me know how it was sent?

Grim123, it looks like your other gift isn't going to arrive in time for Christmas, because I still haven't received an e-mail telling me that they've begun shipping, or that they've even arrived at the distribution centres. It's not very Christmassy to have to wait until sometime in January to receive a present, I feel, so I could tell you what it is here and now, so there's still a Christmas surprise, but it's up to you...

And since Grim123 hardly posts anywhere and is unlikely to read this post, what do you guys think?

so i got home from work today to find nothing again, i was just starting to get worried when i decided to load up steam and play for a bit, when to my suprise it comes up with a pop up, you've recieved a gift. exitedly i clicked the button and what do i find but the orange box, now there couldn't be a more ideal gift. I ended up getting the orange box on 360 because of a few friends(who have 360's but not decent pc's) but i really wanted to play both portal and tf2 on pc, KB+M is just vastly superior in every way.

Not only is it something i wanted but i'd never get it for myself because i couldn't justify the expense so all in all i'm thrilled, thanks santa!

Unfortunatly steam seems to be behaving a bit off atm it won't let me purchase anything and it doesn't seem to have acepted the gift (unless you have to click on something other than the pop up.) but i'm looking into it and will keep you posted.

It's seeeecret. Not 'Labeled Santa'.

Sorry the balls are broken. I remembered that one of the packs I had was broken but forgot to check which one. I'm surprised that it got out to you this early as well. Sent it out via regular mail on Friday.

Still haven't gotten my gift yet. As far as I know.

So huzzah! I contacted my Santee, he got his gift last Monday. He was just saving it for xmas, and hid the gift out of his sight so as not the think about it (therefore, forgetting to post about it).

so i've fixed the problem, turns out it was me running steam in xp compatibility mode (i'm running vista)that was causing the issues. Yeah i feel dumb now. My santa's username did display when i acepted the gift i think, but the gift has disapeared and is no where to be found could someone contact my santa on my behalf or give me his username, such an awesome gift but its just out of reach.

Dear Santee, I've had a few issues lately and haven't had a chance to get your gift out to you until now. I'm having it shipped straight to you to save time, but you'll know when you get it

It miiight not make it till just after christmas, sorry about that but it'll definitely be there before the end of the month. Hope you like it. I do wish I could of gotten it out earlier.

I got my gifts today they went to my dads so they have been there for a while but thanks, I'll take pictures asap.

but for the threads sake I got

a 25 gift card to Futureshop because my Santa sern that I own all the games I want and have preorderd the ones that aren't out yet.

this is very cool, although normally I frown upon gift cards for christmas.

also in a very awesome gesture I donated a DS game to Child's Play.

and finally this.



thanks a million santa whom names I do not recall at this moment (I left the gifts in my dads card)

Thank you to whoever my G&T Secret Santa is! I received an Amazon gift order with both season DVD's of The Venture Bros., and the Venture Bros. 2008 calendar.

Apparently I am getting a box of music too according to the gift notes, but this present already smacks of awesomeness. I'll update again when I get that. Thanks again!

What's this? A gift arrived today! Whatever could it be?
Spoiler:

But when the box was opened...it wasn't Snake at all!
Spoiler:

Who IS this mysterious masked monkey?! Is he related to Donkey Kong? You don't have time to ponder such questions, as Flying Monkey has just grabbed a Smash Ball.
Spoiler:

H-he really is flying! Can this super simian surpass even Diddy Kong?

Spoiler:

These little candies are full of caffeine and other spine-tingling substances. It is said that those who eat them experience heightened clarity and awareness.
Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Make sure you hold on to this item to get its effects. Nobody likes it when people drop their Bawls!
----------
Spoiler:

Wh-what's going on here? Mario is an assist trophy too? Can you even do that?
When you throw this item in the air, you can hit the underside of the block to make all kinds of sounds come out. It doesn't do any damage, but it's sure lots of fun!
Spoiler:

And just what is this strange new green stage anyway? Ha ha...you can look forward to finding out later!

[/brawl]
----------------
Thanks a ton, cyphr! I know wasn't easy to shop for, but I'm loving the stuff you sent. Much fun will be had with the screaming monkey slingshot on Christmas Day!

Alright. Like I said earlier, I have some reading ahead of me.

(sorry for the low light)Spoiler:

Heroes Die and Blade of Tyshalle by Matthew Stover. Thank you Santa
I hope you enjoy them. They're some of my favorite books. Don't know how big of a reader you are though.
If you don't enjoy them, you can always use them to build ramps for Barricade.

Santa has delivered!!!!!



Let's see what's inside!

"Just a little something to remind you what day it is while you sit at the new desk and something else to make sure you're awake while you do it. Merry Christmas! Aydr"

Thank you Aydr! This calendar will be awesome in my new office (I'm trying to remember when I mentioned that on here - creepy) and the soap will definitely wake me up in the mornings! Perhaps I can forgo my usual can of soda in the mornings!
