I've got some videos of gift opening, but I need to figure out how I'm going to share them. Might throw them up FTP. Or if there is a more secure way to share it with everyone on the forum and not internet randos? I'm weird about it cause there is a wee one involved.

Just checked for the first time in awhile and someone donated!
Also, received 2 more packages today! More for the weebit from @Blackhawk1313 and a package containing stuff for @Mariisun. There is not identifier on those however so thank you mysterious saint. We'll be opening them later

You can youtube or vimeo and set it to private so that only people with the link can see the video and then post the link here on the forums.

After a very tough year and a bumpy start to the new one I was stressed beyond belief due to the upcoming holidays. When @Bendery It Like Beckham showed me the thread and the gifts you guys sent me and my daughter Kyra, I was entirely overwhelmed with emotion. I am speechless. I can't possibly say enough "thank yous" to show just how grateful and overjoyed I am. I wanted to thank everybody for their kindness and love and tell you guys just how amazing you are. A million Thank yous from my family to yours. p.s. you guys are amazing.
Well, crap. Alerts from my Amazon account were going to my spam folder, so I just noticed a few minutes ago that I tried to pay using an expired card. I would have thought that would have come up as declined immediately when I tried to use it... or maybe it did, but I wasn't paying attention and assumed it was just a regular confirmation page... either way, I only just sent the order in now, and the fastest shipment option won't arrive until the 28th.
Sorry @Elaro, your stuff is on the way! Hopefully the other person paired with you got you all the same stuff, so you can actually use it while your family is around, and then return mine for cash!
Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan
Someone, I couldn't exactly make out their name, got me:
* A Rabbit Electric Cocktail Mixer
* The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus on DVD
* Star Wars Complete Cross-Sections: The Spacecraft and Vehicles of the Entire Star Wars Saga.
Hahaha, all of these are fucking amazing and I will enjoy all three!
P.S. Pictures to come when back at my home computer.
Fan-fucking-tastic!

AUARAUGH!!!!
THANK YOU!!!

Tara got another package today!! Things are super busy right now but I want to send love out to all of the kind souls contributing--she and I both are honestly taken aback by the generosity here. You all are amazing. I will have pictures of the device up as soon as I am able because honestly it looks super cool and works fantastically.
We got more stuff night before last. I was gonna post today but the forums were a mess, so it will be up tomorrow but THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!
e: Here works too!
First Sabrina decides to do the box inspection!
Overlord Snickers insists on a supervisory double-check
Snickers is, of course, certain that this gift must be for her.
Human! How dare you taunt me with that ribbon! (she was not amused)
Convinced she has been thwarted yet again, she leaves the humans to it
woop woop! More wedding registry gifts! This is a toaster. It makes toast! Now, you wouldn't think this is anything special, but considering our current toaster makes charcoal, this is actually super awesome!
We are both very humbled and very appreciative of everything. From Raijin setting this up to the two mysterious and anonymous *shakes fist* saints who have blessed us.

Oh, a little fun fact for the secret saint who sent the slanket:
Aside from my brother-in-law being interested in one since the concept was new to him, the apartment that he and my sister share in Portugal does not have heating! So it's an added bonus. Adds a new meaning to Snuggie, I guess.

Hey whoa this isn't the Snugglehug thread, Munkus!
Oh hey, kickass! They said that wouldn't arrive until the 28th at the earliest due to my billing screw-up!
Yeah, it's my favorite Christmas movie... and probably in my top five favorite movies overall, regardless of season.

I don't have pictures, but the family absolutely loved all the gifts that they received. They were genuinely astounded by em.

First of all very, very sorry for taking so long to get this post up, we do so much running around on x-mas
Anyway, more box!
And of course supreme commander Snickers has to supervise
featured: my wife's pretty cat-print blanket that she wears virtually 100% of the time she's in the apartment.
"This box has stuff in it. Human, I cannot lay in a box that has stuff in it. I will return when you have removed the stuff."
Yet another simple, lovely note. Also a red bag, instead of the traditional blue. This one was smaller, and notably less thick/durable than the usual blue bags. We actually decided to hang on to the blue bags and re use them because they are really nice.
Anyway what's in the bag?!
A new KitchenAid hand mixer! She's wanted one of these for a while because while we do have a nice stand mixer, she's rarely mixing a large enough amount of stuff to need that, so it feels like overkill. This one is more her style, and still has all the advantages of being a KitchenAid!
Honestly you guys I am kinda at a loss for words. You all have been so lovely to us this year, and we are very, very grateful. The holidays were rough because we kinda broke the bank on the wedding, and so we decided to just spent all our gift money on family and pretty much skip gifting each other (although, like a good husband, I cheated and got her Exploding Kittens anyway).

So, I was finally able to make it to my parents and open up my other gift!
Woo!!!
Contains inside were:
* Das Can-In-Stein, for transforming my ordinary beer into something epic!
* Chillz ice balls, for my whiskey-cokes!
* Lab Shots, for making me feel smart when doing Rumplemintz!
My hat is off to you mysterious stranger and I appreciate that all of your gifts were aimed at my biggest hobby.

Finally made the time in my insane new job schedule (I swear to god though, my first week they had me on the clock for 55 hours--but that is neither here nor there in relevance) to take a picture!! Want to reiterate again, you people are amazing, lovely humans and this pillow is glorious. Thank you for the kindness and gifts

It says my name and I don't think I can change that now.
I'm new to this whole thing...
Donate though! I'll give it until the holiday forum closes up then I'll send it over to Childs Play!
I will be there in a few hours!
I am very excited!
Did you PM me and I missed you?
I'll send you someone, hold on.
Nobody has donated to my PayPal... I should have thought of this earlier
Woooo
Keeping in line with your Av.
Next year I'll be more organized!

:heartbeat:
Here's what it contained:
The Muppets Christmas Carol was a nice surprise! And I am deeply touched by your generosity...
No, I'm not crying...
Thank you deeply, @The Hanged Man .
FETA: What! I thought I had fixed that picture! Oh well.
Yeah, it's my favorite Christmas movie... and probably in my top five favorite movies overall, regardless of season.
I mean jeez.

this was awesome and I'm glad it was put together this year
