    Santa struck again with more ominous messages! That I forgot to post last night!

    Is that a terrifying santa head back there in the middle? With a giant open mouth riding the ground with it's beard, a single glowing eye in its hat?

    Also this

    Doctor who stuff! Score!

    It appears to be a cool story telling/dice rolling/choose your own adventure game thing. This will keep me entertained on lunch breaks for a whiiiiile.

    Thanks santa! And that picture is still haunting me.

    I had a package arrive today!

    I sent Tetra to investigate.

    Tetra says: "I have no idea if this package is safe or not."

    Inside was Claymore and Attack on Titan: No Regrets.

    ZdBSVxl.jpg

    I watched Claymore several years ago but I didn't own it on DVD. I read the regular Attack on Titan series but I hadn't had a chance to read any of the side stories yet.

    Thanks @DoctorArch!

    So, I got home and had a package to open. Spoiler for big.
    So first called dog over to investigate. This was bad idea, but I tell you why later.
    Dog%20investigates.jpg?psid=1

    She likes opening presents. Dad, open it faster, I want in.

    What is this? more wrapping to deal with?
    %283%29%20What%20have%20we%20here.jpg?psid=1

    So, you called me over here, where is my present? This isn't fair dad, you were using me for cute pictures.
    %284%29%20Where%20is%20mine.jpg?psid=1

    Maybe I can distract her while I grab the loot.
    %285%29%20Trying%20to%20distract%20dog.jpg?psid=1

    You don't fool me. This one is mine. I claim it. Ha, I have my feet on it and you can't take it.
    %286%29%20This%20present%20is%20mine.jpg?psid=1
    She did start pawing at the one to. She really wanted it open. That and the bottle shaped one. Food?

    Ha, your distracted by your card. Now is my chance. Note the front left paw, it is about to go up and paw at present. she knows how to open them. Guess this is downside of letting her open her own birthday presents.
    %287%29%20Outside%20Card.jpg?psid=1

    Yeah, calling her over backfired. Quick, distract with a cookie.
    %289%29%20Distract%20with%20cookie.jpg?psid=1

    I got the loot, what is this? Don't open??
    %288%29%20Wait.jpg?psid=1
    Well, I can follow directions. I did say I would wait to open, but my santa knows I got them all.

    And who was that masked woman? (I saw woman based on name on return address. Sorry if I got that wrong.)
    %2810%29%20card.jpg?psid=1

    cool pin! Pft, humble? We in the steam thread no that if you paid full price for a gift, you over paid!
    Thanks at @xenard‌

    It is I the masked woman! The cute pup has won me over and so you may rip open your presents now.

    Wait, now you want me to open them? I guess I can if that is what you want. You are Santa after all. . . I'm sure I know the threads answer if I ask them. :P

    And this doctor who game posted above. I love your Santa too, I'm now going to waste away many an hour while sitting in a kiosk wondering what to do at work.

    The comics series looks really good, I will definitely read it over the holidays. And thank you very much for the PPG, I've been a long time fan of Craig McCracken, Genndy Tartakovsky and friends.

    Sorry for the lack of cat or toddler in the pictures but they were both asleep.

    I had to reverse stalk you @shadowane as I only had your real name on the receipt.

    Darn I just realized that my santee will have no indication of what the gift he got today is for or from whom, oops.

    A little birdie has told me that I will be getting 2 parcels from mystery Santa code-name "CaptainPilot"

    The fist package arrived today! Should I wait until the second arrives and post all together, or share now?

    Let's have a vote!

    Snap for now, Crackle for later, Pop for general confusion. I will check when I get a breather from work (about 3am EST D: )

    It's crazy banana pants is what this is.

    Fourth we begin to teach Jack about Christmas with a right proper classic:

    Fifth we go and fix our Amazon wishlist privacy settings... and then go out and buy some candy, of course!

    Thank you very much, @Imperfect. This is just crazy nice. Crazy banana pants nice. Merry Christmas!

    To think I could have suspected @shadowane (who I'm sure also gave a very nice gift)!

    Now to wait for Santee's gift to properly gestate.

    Glad you like it! I'm an avid ebook fan myself, so I couldn't resist aiding in another's addiction.

    Awesome, I'm glad it all arrived! Sorry I resorted to just Amazon but just to ship a small box to Canada would have been $20 and I wanted to spend that on you instead. I considered getting the first book of Fables, but decided Planetary was a better choice as it's only 4 issues + a side issue if you want to get it. Hope you enjoy everything!

    edit: Also great job on the reverse stalking. I didn't actually do that on purpose, I just forgot to sign my forum name. Glad I was easy to find!

    Ok, so I opened them and this is what I got:

    WP_20141212_08_56_29_Pro.jpg?psid=1

    I also got a easy vhs to dvd connector so I could record all my Dr. Who. I was so happy, but than the software wouldn't install. I went to Best buy where xenard said she bought it, but they refused to help without a receipt. They didn't seem to understand Gift, and Secret Santa. :( I felt like I was treated like a criminal. What do you mean it doesn't work. It has to work. Such an awesome gift and ruined by customer service.

    Funny thing, I returned a more expensive item to that store, and bought something back with no hassle. Internet has a lot of people say the exact same thing I got. Thanks again Xenard though.
