So I think it's safe to say my Santee is not going to post pics at this late date. (Gift was received on Dec. 8th, it's now Jan. 20th.) I guess I did not get you anything you liked or wanted. Sorry, Santee.
Status:
The following people have not received a gift:
EggyToast (gift is on the way!)
PepperSinclaire (gift is on the way!)
Ruddurball (looking to be the one and only santee with a deadbeat santa?)
The following people have not gotten back to me so I assume they got a gift (deadbeat santees):
Gabriel
Tycho
S-Starwind
I'm going to give Ruddurball's Santa a week or so to respond and if he still doesn't respond the banhammer will be lain upon him.
You can check the Santa Leaderboard for people who haven't posted pictures, either. I'm considering not allowing them to participate next year.
Either way, we have ONE deadbeat santa. Out of 176 participants. This is pretty phenomenal. You are a classy crew, G&T.

I am also without a gift, the loot directory just posting the letter I received. I've assumed a gift is forthcoming up until this point, but at the moment I am sans present.

I just contacted your Santa. He's good people, so we'll see what's going on. It may have been lost in the mail. I'll let you know when he responds.

The address he sent it to, as I gave two options, could affect my ability to rapidly find out about delivery.

Secret Santa is the best. I loved my gift (super props again to Wraith) and loved stalking and creating for my santee. I can't wait until time comes again this year. So good...

Got a response back from him. He's sending it out soon!

The board is a little off, my Santee was Ultimanecat, who mentioned having received my gifts but never posted pictures.
Thanks for the correction, fixed! If anyone else sees any mistakes please let me know!
Found another - Jack Eddy was my Santee, and while I'm given credit on my line, I'm not listed next to his name - nor is his Santee, whom I remember getting his gift because Jack reused my Cuba Cheese Shoppe box! Not a big deal, but for the sake of completeness, and all.

Ah, my mistake on that, that should be fixed. Not sure on the "toaster link" thing though, is that what youngins are calling it these days?

Don't take it so hard. Life gets in the way, don't make assumptions.
Have you tried PMing her?
Yeah, I just shot her a PM. I think I overreacted because I only got about an hour of sleep yesterday and was in kind of a weird mood.
So, only one potentially deadbeat santa? That's an awesome record (well, not so awesome for poor ruddurball).

No worries. I've done this long enough that I figured out just one or two pokes and reminders is enough, and that 99.9% of people seriously love their gifts.

So I heard back from my Santee, and everything is cool--she's just been really busy with lots of serious stuff going on.
I stumbled out of bed groggily about 13 hours ago, thinking "I only get one day off this week" and being grumpy when my wife leans around the kitchen door and tells me I have a package from Canada.
I believe my words were "wwwhaaaaa...eeeeee!"
I have no pets, so I called my faithful droid/pepper mill R2-R9 over.
That's it R2, you help me.
Onwards to Canadian bounty!
A huge Mario, seemingly in flight when you dangle him from his hat-thread. Awesome! He became fast friends with R2.
Xmas-themed Kinder eggs! I plan on smashing these open and investigating the contents soon.
Smarties! With French words on the packet! I'm conducting a taste-test comparing these to UK Smarties tomorrow (I need some UK Smarties first).
Aw yeah, genuine Canadian maple syrup! Now we're definitely having pancakes for breakfast. EVERY DAY.
The whole caboodle. R2 had departed at this point to get blown up by battle droids or something.
Thank you Sceptre! Feel free to send more maple syrup when you get the chance.
Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed it all! I was pretty worried about it getting all the way across the Atlantic, and it took forever to ship, but it's good to see it made it. Merry (late) Christmas!
Edit: I guess I should toss in my post-Yule tide status. I finished the book Anansi Boys that my Santa got me, and I enjoyed it a lot, even more so then American Gods.
I'd just like to chime in and say I'm having a great time with my xmas haul, UEAKCrash
Had a pretty great little moment with the Metal Fucking Christmas CD you gave me too. About 3 weeks ago the band CYNIC was in town (oh my fucking God!) and one of my good friends hanged out with them while she was in the UK last year. Thus, they wanted to hang out around my home town and she asked me to come with
After going to the beach and having a beer, I'm driving them back to their hotel so they can get ready for the gig when the Metal Fucking Christmas CD comes on. As you know, the first few tracks are of the great solo-project, Animals As Leaders. As it's playing, Tymon (a tech death fucking master in my opinion) leans in from the back seat and asks who they are. I let 'em know and we talk about it for a little while with he say's that he'll definitely try to track down a CD because "they sound pretty great".
So thanks UEAKCrash, you made me look cool in front of one of my favourite bands ever

Fucking nice.
I take it you enjoy the CD then, since it appears to be lodged firmly in your vehicle?

Yeh the CD is getting a lot of spins, moreso the first than the second mostly because I've already got a good deal of the second.
Castlevania is going pretty well too, turns out I was right to consider buying it and you were very right to buy it for me
I believe there's a slight problem with the board, unless I'm reading it wrong. I was travathian's santa (and he was my santee), and while I don't know for sure who my santa was, given the fact our names are linked (though they are backwards) I imagine it was Lightor216.

Burtletoy's got no toaster link~

Eggy, I feel your pain. If it makes you feel any better, I'll wait to eat the Smarties until your stuff comes through.
I make no such promises about the maple syrup though. That shit is like crack.
Thanks again!

Thanks for archiving all this.
Also attention Australians: I'm out of Tim Tams already

Wait, really? The Pepperidge Farms ones are delicious, but they can get even better? Must hunt them down!
Haha, cool

Now I'm motivated to hunt down some aussie tim tams.
