    I have been then recipient of a holiday bombardment!

    Thank you Santa for tickling my Formula 1 obsession:

    That’s an excellent, stylish print of The Circuit of the Americas in Austin coupled with passes to the track for its inaugural race weekend in 2012. That’s some cool stuff! I’m a crazy person and have already looked into having it all framed together.

    Thank you to whoever you are!

    And a special shoutout to @mRahmani for facilitating a cross country detour due to an address mixup. Penny Arcade forum proves once again to be the best place on the internet. Love you all!

    I will get pictures later, but this weekend, I received a package from the northern wilds of Canada. Inside, I found two packages of Coffee Crisp bars, and a well padded package - which when opened was revealed to be a gorgeous painting of wildlife under the northern lights, done by a Native artist from the region my Secret Santa is from.

    That picture is amazing. We're still figuring where it's going to go, but we've been looking for Native art to decorate with, and this is an amazing piece to start with. After reading the card and the details on the picture, my wife broke into tears because she was so happy to get something like this. So thank you so much to my Secret Santa, who nailed it right on the head.

    Glad you got the package! I knew it had to be somebody's present and was trying to figure out who to contact to get it where it needed to go. Merry Christmas dude!

    The northern lights in that painting glow in the dark, Hedgie!

    I'm so glad you like it!

    Also, I always send Coffee Crisp to Americans, you are forced to live without its greatness.

    @RMS Oceanic Are there any forumers still awaiting gifts? Has everyone been Santa'd?

    Going through my notes, two people have not checked in. I'll give them a nudge.

    The gift cannon arrived! A while back! In odd circumstances! Right before I left for holidays and did not have time to get pictures arranged!!!

    First off, we've got a pile of tokens for MTG! You can never have enough tokens lying around.

    Next, we have a beautiful Lord of the Rings poster!

    JOJym1v.jpg?1

    And after that, we have Kill Six Billion Demons and The Wicked and The Divine! I enjoyed both of these while traveling for the holidays.

    And (semi) finally, we have a Lord of the Rings board game! I need to bring this to PAX so people can try it out.

    Here's the whole haul, plus a pile of D6s that came with the gift that I didn't get an individual picture of!

    As far as those odd circumstances go, apparently the package(s?) were delivered to the wrong house on a completely wrong street by Amazon/UPS/whoever and promptly opened; the neighbors, after some confusion and inability to figure out who sent them the gifts, hand delivered them to me. I thus have no idea who sent these! It's an excellent pile of gifts, whether for me or for random Texans :P

    I received a packed from far away! It had to be signed for and everything! I took pictures but have failed to post. I will post later today!

    It is later today!
    So after a little back and forth with the post office because of the signature that was needed (I spent a week or so very confused about why the package would need a signature haha), I received a large, flatish envelope:
    aMe41fh.jpg?2
    Oh, so that's why it needs a signature--it's international mail! ooooOOOOOoooh
    I was quite pleased with the contents as well:
    A lovely card that I took a really bad picture of but didn't realize it until just now!

    A book of Seamus Heaney poetry!
    QlTGETn.jpg?1
    I love Heaney's poetry. His Beowulf is what made me love the story. I didn't start reading his other work until a few years after that, but I have loved reading it. I really enjoy his voice.

    And a lovely Oscar Wilde print!

    Another of my faves!

    A wonderful package! Thank you so much @RMS Oceanic I appreciate the Hibernian package. :-)

    I've now unstickied the thread, but obviously people are welcome to post late gifts, thanks, etc. The top of the forum was getting a little gummed up with stickies is all.
