    Dear Santee: I am looking for the appropriate font to use in your letter.

    Magazines have a lot of letters in them you can just cut out, you don't even have to use a computer! Then just get glue, apply them to the paper, and bam! Who needs to go through the hassle of using a "word" program? Letters in a magazine are the way to go!

    Or you could be my Santa and it was delivered to the apartment complex office and since they have exactly the same hours I do at work, I can't get it until the weekend. :(


    But you're probably not my Santa.

    Just so my santa knows, I almost always miss packages since I live in Philly so don't get worried if I don't get it right away. If you use USPS it's pretty easy to pick up but UPS or Fedex are a little more work. It's no big deal though.

    Dear Santa, forgot to mention that the address I put is the one for my aunt (since I live in apt and don't trust deliveries). So if it get's delivered and you don't hear from me, getting a proxy to shoot me a pm would be a good idea.

    And Santee, your gift has been ordered! I'll take 2 weeks to be shipped, but since it's personalized I hope it'll be worth it.

    My Santa is awesome, and I haven't even been gifted yet! Behold, the awesome proxy message I got today;
    I understand you like reading.
    I love to read! I’m glad you do!
    Thus, the reason for this greeting,
    Is to discover something new…

    You have an iPad, is that so?
    But reading on that makes me blink…
    It is great for the apps, I know,
    But have you considered e-ink?

    I’m sorry my message is veiled.
    I don’t want to give it away.
    Your gift, alas, I have not mailed.
    But I need more info, stay stay!

    What novels do you like to read?
    Or authors? Anything will do!
    Of course there is noir, yes indeed,
    But now I need more, it is true!

    A surprise, I know, is a must.
    But what will come out of the box?
    For my gift to not be a bust,
    I can’t simply fill it with cocks!

    Ho ho! What a joke that would be!
    In fact, that might be what you get…
    I guess you’ll have to wait and see.
    Santa away! (For now, don’t fret!)

    Are you Santas warning your Santees (via proxy) to be on the look out for a package?
    That might be helpful, in some cases.

    My Santee should hopefully be very happy tomorrow. 8-)

    edit: If tracking shows your Santee should have received something, but your Santee didn't post, it might not be a bad idea to give them a day or so and then shoot them a message via proxy asking nicely about it. Things happen and people might not always get their packages right on time (for example, Icemopper and his apartment complex holding packages at the office).

    GREETINGS CHRISTMAS DONKEYS!!

    Proxy has been hard at work since things have gotten under way. I'm filled with such JOY to be helping everyone out with questions they need answered.

    90% of the messages I've acquired have been to my specifications...which is excellent. However, for those of you who didn't see my directions (in the OP), or who are just sending me a PM to Proxy because it's my namesake, please follow these two simple rules. It really does make my life (which is indebted servitude to the Large Red One) a lot easier.

    RULE THE FIRST :
    The subject line of your PM is your santees forum name EXACTLY. I've only had I think one occasion where a name was misspelled (one letter got shifted, no big). However, I've gotten a few with little messages or lines in the subject. Really, only the forum name in the subject. It makes both sending your question and responding back to you when I receive an answer easier.

    RULE THE SECOND :
    The message box is filled in only with the message you wish for your santee to receive. You do not need to say "please send the following message to my santee: blahblahyadayada". It makes my copy and paste job go faster and get through everybody's messages in a more timely manner.

    Sorry if Proxy sounds harsh, but I'm actually surprised at how much traffic I'm getting from all of my cheery friends. It's not so much that things are unmanageable, but little hiccups in the system just add time to the overall turnaround. Please keep sending me messages! Proxy likes to be helpful! :rotate:

    HAPPY CHRISTMAS FRIENDS!!

    Proxy the Elf on
    HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!
    Spreading Christmas cheer across the forums since 2009!

    Santee: The making of a "theme" for your gifts has gone well, and I have placed the order for your actual presents. They should arrive at the North Pole for wrapping next week, I hope. By then, the creative aspects should be complete and ready for everything to make its way to you. Get Excited, Santee!

    In the meantime, here's another old christmas song :D

    Ditto (though I wouldn't complain of receiving anything early of course!).

    Santee, not that you know who you are, but you're not getting your gift till mid-December.

    Also, I'd like to dish out a thanks to the Doc, he managed to give me a Santee that isn't a million miles away (by chance, I know, but it's still good). I won't say where/which country as that may give it away but postage shouldn't cost -too- much.

    Gaaah. $15 thing shipped domestically has become a $50+ thing shipped internationally.

    Also, I'm thinking of sacrificing a very small, seemingly insignificant item by sending it to my Santee, but I actually love it. I hope my Santee appreciates it as much as I have.
