    Even outside this project I've found the post service quite sluggish this year.

    I've been anxiously refreshing both the web tracker and my text messages since it's been two days since the initial expected delivery but the USPS finally said my card has been officially delivered.

    I'm guessing way more people are sending packages now that they're not visiting.

  • MNC DoverMNC Dover Full-time Voice Actor Kirkland, WARegistered User regular
    I mailed out the card a few days ago, but I'm not sure if it'll make it in time before Christmas. Hopefully it will, but if not, no biggie. Late gifts are great as well.

    A wild gift has appeared! It appears it is the second part of my full and total gift receiving, and yet, I still do not know the identity of my Secret SatanSanta.

    d0au8YS.jpg


    Thanks for this amazing cookbook! The recipes are top notch, actual things a human person would want to eat. There’s tons of flavor text and fun bits to make it D&D stylized, but the recipes are quite normal looking. The art and photography throughout the book are really great too, I’m very impressed. And it’s a thick, chunky book, no slouch for content here.

    Thank you!

    Whoever you are.

    @AngelHedgie

    For the coup de grace on the unfeeling, horrific year we've all been through, my Santa pulled out an assortment of goodies.

    A wooden sticker, decal, several local postcards, and some pretty slamming chocolate from The Parrot, a local place near them.

    vmzj4h7tyic3.jpg

    Plus that card is choice. Seriously beautiful.

    Thanks again for being a generous and p fantastic Santa, to the both of you Hedgies.

    aaaaaaaaaa

    I got our final gifts from @Atomika!

    Firstly:

    D84filRl.jpg?1

    Bel loves Grant and is super into his story, and also loves meditative type coloring so these are perfect for her!
    And yes, fucking Prince. This book is beautifully insane. Every time he says "I" he instead uses... ok just look at this wonderful madness

    n619vjDl.jpg

    I am in awe.

    Second thing is even better and it is a) a yeti mug, which is amazing, but I can't put up a photo because it is also b) a deep cut Simpsons pun based on our last name....

    @jungleroomx sent me a dice bag and some dice!!

    I didn’t have a dice bag, and jrx sent me one that looks like it belongs to a gay warlock which is *very* on brand for me. And these dice are made of crystal? Marble? They’re rad and weighty, all my other dice are plastic

    Anyway I love them!! I can’t wait to roll up to a table top game and whip this out

    So, I finally went to my mailbox (in another thread, I noted that the subdivision I live in has a master mail drop, so I tend to check the mail a couple of times a week.) And in the package drop, I had packages from both my Santa and card exchange.

    From @SummaryJudgment, we received this:

    pancha88fq41.png

    The maple syrup made both of us laugh, as I had just picked up some on the weekly shopping run - so getting more was a bit of a a surprise. The chocolate will be happily eaten, as both of us are chocoholics. As for the cookbook, I'm definitely going to need to read up on the recipes to get some ideas for the Instant Pot. And finally, the Lego ISS model will be finding a place in my office once it's built.

    Then there's the "card" from @Surfpossum:

    f36ol2l4vifa.png

    That is a gorgeous painting of the Master Sword in the Lost Woods, and it is getting framed and hung up on the wall.

    Hooray, it made it safe and sound!

    I forgot to add a PS that the paint bleeding under the tape was an accident but my wife said it looked interesting so I left it rather than try and clean it up; I figured if you wanted you could put something over it.

    I'm glad you like them :biggrin: There is one more coming, but I haven't even received a ship notice from the vendor yet, so it might be a New Year's gift.

    A package arrived for me today that I don't remember ordering. Inside was a neat robe that I'm going to wear the shit out of for the next 3 months

    adg04qh8sruj.jpg

    There was no note or anything so I dunno if it was one of you or my mom or if I just got high and ordered it and forgot, all 3 explanations are plausible, but I think it looks pretty good either way, so much thanks if this was from one of you.

    So, a box full of stuff landed today! There was much rejoicing.

    But since the messages only revealed themselves to be from PA Santa and didn’t contain a screen name, I don’t know if they were from this Secret Santa or another sub-forum’s, and I’m trying to keep everything straight. So, Santa, if you could reach out through channels and let me know if the box you sent along contained a hardback copy of Axiom’s End by Lindsay Ellis, I’d appreciate it so I can properly thank you!

    Thanks again!

    @JaysonFour

    Sorry, I completely missed this. Yes, the big box that contained Axiom's End was me, as were the hand warmers! If you could PM me your Paizo account, there is also some additional gifting to go on :winky:

    So, it's been forever, but... I'm finally, relatively sure this is everything- but feel free to correct me, Santa!

    emhyhwS.gif

    So, a few days ago, I was summoned to the living room by my niece- apparently there had been a package delivery for me! So... I sat down and began to tear into it.


    uORuqBm.jpg?1

    Up there in the corner is Poppy, who decided she was going to guard everything from the other cats, who went ahead and decided to wait until the box was empty.

    So, let's see what was in there... Huh, plenty of these little plastic air bubble things... ah, here we go!


    T7wbK6k.jpg?2

    A bamboo book stand! This ought to be useful- but for what? Maybe there's more clues out here in the box...


    XpurN4z.jpg?2

    A hardback copy of Axiom's End, by Lindsay Ellis! I'm looking forward to digging into this tomorrow night, after we get the gifts set out, with a little eggnog and some snacks!


    P0drBuK.jpg?2

    A Sword and Shield Pokedex! This was an absolutely huge hit with my niece, who has been devouring pages out of it every single day! (She's recently hit halfway completed on her main-game Pokedex and is loving the journey and the catching, and is a little disappointed it's so close to ending... (which is why we're giving her the Let's Go Pokemon games Friday.)


    TeA0hjQ.jpg?2

    Cat wands! These have been an absolute huge hit with them- all it takes is one little skitter across the floor and they're going absolutely bananas! There's a big one and a little one, and plenty of stuff to attach at the bottom!


    0V53xFe.jpg?2

    This appears to be a manga of some kind? But still, it has cats on the cover of it, so it can't be all bad, I imagine! I'm planning on binging this one upcoming quiet night!


    P1qzcCE.jpg?1

    q3tSvqX.jpg?2

    IFWQc7G.jpg?2

    I love to collect specialty cookbooks- games, TV shows, movies- it's just one more aspect of them you can jump right into! The dessert one is full of yummy things I'm going to take a crack at, but I think the first thing I'll make is out of the Vault-Dweller's Cookbook. I love me some Fallout stuff- I just hope it doesn't ask me for some Mut-Fruit or gecko meat...


    KA4MyaU.jpg?2

    1kLrpM9.jpg?1

    And, to finish this box off, an epic crapload of kitteh treats! I get the feeling this is what Poppy was after... she did get first pick, after all!

    Of course, that wasn't everything... a few days after that, another box showed up! Inside...


    EL8iLrV.jpg?1

    A rechargeable hand-warmer! This ought to make things a lot warmer after I shovel the walk and the driveway tomorrow!

    And who do I have to thank for all this? That would be the self-admitted Santa @milski !

    There is a lot of amazing stuff here, and I love all of it! I'm looking forward to doing a lot of cooking, and I can't wait to crack open these books and start reading!

    ...and apparently there's some stuff coming via internet for my tabletop gaming account over on Paizo, and I absolutely love all that stuff too!


    Many thanks again!

    A small mystery box appeared on my porch this morning.

    86sf6muyppma.jpg

    I opened it up to find an envelope!

    ldmamfyr62zo.jpg

    And inside the envelope was this note:

    yilaxe07dgdd.jpg

    Ah ha! My secret Santa is revealed to be @N1tSt4lker! Nintendo bucks and spicy things, eh?

    ivey5e1ut04n.jpg

    LOL! Yes, this page was pretty big. But I'll make sure to put the funds to good use. Bravely Default II is on the horizon...hmmm....

    As to the contents of the box, it was time to bring in the local elite present openers:

    yqtdrvfkfh0d.jpg
    3ept6hud189f.jpg
    en1dxmsuoklw.jpg

    Looks like two cans of spicy beans, a can of spice, and a bag of spicy chips. I must admit, I'm a bit of a spice wuss, so the wife will probably be getting most of the value of these spicy treats!

    And here's a close-up of the haul:

    qu90khmcad8a.jpg

    Finally, a conversation between me and my daughter:

    "Daddy, what's this one?"
    "That's a can of spices."
    "What's it say?"
    "Slap ya' mama!"
    "The spices shouldn't hit our mommy."
    "That's right dear. I'll make sure they don't."
