Damnit. I can't seem to upload the pictures (god deployed internet is horrible), if anyone is able to help me out and PM me an e-mail address I can send pictures to, and then you can PM me links to the file location.
It'd be so much appreciated!

While I'm not currently at home, I should be eventually. I wanted to make a gift get to ensure my santa isn't considered a horrible Grinch!
So this is also going to be x-mas photo times:
Ho ho ho!
A wild package appears!
And a little one is very serious about protecting it until my return (even going as far as putting on her war Rainbow dash hat!):
Such ferocity!
I've been told that I've got another box coming as well. Can't wait to make another gift get post!
Yeah, a friend made me a copy of it to take on my TDY's. Shamelessly stolen from D&D.
I have posted pictures there in the cutethulu thread, and I have a few more X-mas pictures, but I'll have to figure out hosting issues.
Yeah, I just got that for her from Etsy since we've been watching the show so much.
Next I obviously need to get her a turtle!
And Merry New Year everyone!
A box arrived in the mail not too long ago. I decided to check with the horses to see what they thought.
Rebel seems wary.
Durango seems curious.
Jeronimo seems hungry!
I think I have their approval - on with the opening!
A cute card! It is important to my Santa that my unboxing process is fun, so they (she?) says. I'm having fun already!
Holy hell, that is a lot of stuff! Wow!
I opened up one of the packages to find some numbered ziplock baggies. I found some instructions in one ...
Well, that was easy, no sweat!
I'll be finished with this in noOH MY GOD! I don't even know what I'm building yet! Time to get to work ...
After many sleepless nights, I finally finished the mystery contraption ...a Lego rubber band gun! That is semi-auto, wtf There was also a book with instructions to build a bunch more!
I also found this little guy in the box; he seems like a nice fellow.
Oh no, 84 assembly steps in a foreign language ...another challange!
...success!
No way - a bunch of pens that write really fine. I asked around here looking for suggestions but wasn't satisfied with the models I had tried ...these, however, suit my needs wonderfully! That's so awesome!
The entire haul:
Santa, thank you so much for all of the effort you put into my gift. I say this with the utmost sincerity: it was incredibly moving to have a complete stranger do something so nice for me; I don't even know who you are. I was smiling through the entire unboxing process and I'll never forget it. You really made my Christmas special, and I truly mean that. Thank you.
Going by the OP, yesterday was the deadline for shipping a gift. So, at some point this week, any giftless people need to start shooting PMs to our wonderful coordinator.
If you have received a gift, but have not posted any pictures, then do so! You ridiculous grinch.
Santee I hope you gots the gifts I sent....lets me knows!

I would like to point out that packages sent overseas (or between US/Canada which seem to often take longer for some reason) can sometimes take a couple of weeks to arrive, so even gifts that were sent on the deadline may not arrive this week.
That's so true - I paid for express for 3 of my parcels to th US, they should have arrived in 3 days but still took over a week, and the one I didn't pay express for arrived before one of the express parcels did. I'm not worried about my Santa.
I am worried about Prince Caspian though - watching Narnia!

I agree with @Jam Warrior, I love getting someone from far away. Yes, postage adds to the cost, but I get to send English chocolate to you poor Americans who only have rubbish chocolate!

Yeah I much prefer sending gifts overseas, it's not a huge hassle as long as you're organised. I don't want to report a deadbeat, send me a proxy message Santa!
So uh, call me crazy, but I enjoyed the Dead Like Me movie. Grown-up Reggie was awesome.
So, thanks for that. :^:
Like I said before, that's probably the only part that is good in that movie, the emotional stuff with Reggie and George. Not the stuff about boys or whatever, but the other stuff.
That they put Rube on a ghost bus, and have everyone repeat the "We're reapers, we can do what we want" plot they already did on the show, and then get rid of the main antagonist Looney Toons style....it just didn't work for me. Movies based on shows rarely do.
How many people are usually slack? The gift wall says 24 people haven't got anything yet, which seems a little more than I expected.
Wow that's way more than I recall in previous Secret Santas. Hopefully there're many gifts currently on their way otherwise the Easter Bunny program is gonna be flat-out this year

My first SS on PA 3 years ago I was introduced to chocolate eggs with small toys inside of them. So I agree with this statement. Already looking forward to next year. It'll be here again before we know it.
So, I am one of the guys who has not shipped my gift to my Santee, due to a number of family crises. I will be shipping rain or shine, pending the reopening of post offices, tomorrow. Planning on a proxy to deliver this message to my Santee.
Santa sent me a proxy message last week saying the gift is underway. It's on a journey from central US, so probably just waiting for the mailmen. They done goofed if it doesn't arrive this week. Curious whether I'm getting Pokérelated goodies again this year.
I have been proxy'd that a gift is on the way!
And in the meantime, Santa has stuffed the Humble Bundle #4 into my virtual stocking.
So, Thank You, Mystery Santa. I knew you existed.
Super Meat Boy, VVVVVV, Crayon Physics and Cogs are excellent games!
I also accept I'm a bit biased, cos Terry Cavanagh is lovely, as are the Team Meat blokes!

VVVVVV is one of my favorite games. I bought the stand-alone version on release day for $15 and it was worth every cent. And Jamestown is one of my contenders for GOTY2011 even though I don't usually care for the majority of shmups.
I'd say to play Bit.Trip Runner ASAP, but I'm biased because I contributed a piece of graffiti for the city levels. :P (Sadly, I will never see it outside of youtube videos because the game is brutal. You'll run out of nasty things to yell at it so soon that you'll need to invent some new swears.)
My santa had promised me a second parcel was on it's way and it hath arrived!
As a reminder my first parcel contained the back to the future trilogy on Blu and the Arkham City guide so I really was stoked with parcel one and wasn't expecting to be spoilt with parcel 2.....boy was I wrong!
Here is the parcel:
My dad said I'd look a tool by covering my address and the senders address with money but it's what I had to hand!
And the inside:
So let's have a look then....
Wow - my fave American chocolate bar - to put this into perspective every Christmas I venture to a small, local American deli and pay approx $25 for a 13 can pack of mug root beer and then 3 or 4 full size baby ruths at approx $5 a piece - so this was an awesome start!
oooooooh - comics.....
Nothing needs saying about the bat however the other one does seem interesting and I am looking forward to putting the kids to bed and reading this!
One present left - which upon opening I have called the mother load!
Holy shit! The fucking SQUEEEEE I made when I opened this made the windows shake!
I am a massive MGS fan and this literally made my Christmas! I am so pleased with this and literally have it opened up on a shelf and grin every time I walk past!
Thanks Santa - this really was very generous of you and I am so stoked to get these gifts!

Eh. I've got a bunch of stuff from companies I don't work for.
Have we seen who Khoo's Secret Santa is this year?

So, thanks for that. :^:
Wouldn't it simplify things for shipping, taxes, importing, etc.? I'd hate for some Santee to get shorted gifts because it costs $50 to ship overseas.

That would probably mean that Peewi and I would have to gift each other every year, since we are the only Danes. Unless jakobagger joins too :P
EDIT: And yeah, sending local candy to Americans is pretty fun. Which reminds me..... Did you try the Super Piratos yet
@Cloudeagle ? :P

Ha. YES!
I'm glad you used the calendar. As a Simpsons fan did you actually learn anything from it? Or did you already know all of it?
And in the meantime, Santa has stuffed the Humble Bundle #4 into my virtual stocking.
So, Thank You, Mystery Santa. I knew you existed.

VVVVVV, Jamestown, Super Meat Boy, Cave Story, Crayon Physics...Seriously they are all so good.
