    Apparently my Secret Santa wasn't done as @Tofystedeth struck again!

    A couple of days ago I was asked what kind of music I liked and if I liked video game music. I said yes and then was sent this:

    45uc86116aa7.jpg

    I was... confused? A SNES cartridge with a USB cord attached to it? WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?

    I plugged it in and was awarded with all of the music from Super Soul Bros! (I think it's all of it anyway)

    I've listened to a few of the tracks and it's pretty damn great! Thanks!

    Aw man, so after doing what I thought was enough research, it turns out that a thing I ordered wasn't at all what I wanted...so now I have to return it, but I already ordered the (correct) replacement!

    I read the cards and learned my gift is from Handkor , who saw something on my wishlist and thought "nah... nah, I can do better than this"
    09f8wiivr946.jpg

    It's an instant pot! But a bigger and better version than the one on my list! This is so rad, thank you! I am hopefully soon to embark on a JOURNEY of weight-loss surgery and a complete change in my daily eating routine, and being able to make lots of meals in advance and just eat out of the fridge is going to make my life a lot easier.

    They also included some important maintenance advice and help in the form of a pair of replacement silicone seals, which wear out over time.

    So genuinely, this is going to be a huge help for me and my family and I'm very appreciative!

    Thank you again @Handkor !

    A fun adventure started the other day when I received a PM from proxy the elf. Apparently my gift was delivered TO ME last Saturday. I was fast asleep when this supposed delivery was made. After some back and forth, my gifter was revealed as @Cristoval! I spoke to them a few times and then finally got in touch with Amazon CS. They were super helpful and gave me a gift card for the balance of the gifts that were lost. Today, I received a beautiful Scott Pilgrim Colour Collection boxset and AT-ST Raider LEGO set and I also received this final warning "But fear, for there shall be more giiiifting."

    A book I've been excited to read for a while, a game that seems like it'll be a blast for my wife and I, and some ridiculously-tasty spicy Virginia peanuts that I've already had a feverish handful of. A really, really delightful gift, thank you so much Satan!

    I hope you enjoy! I'm glad I guessed right on liking spicy snacks!

    A PM RECEIVED!

    It appears Santa has gone hybrid and sent me some digital gifts while physical ones are enroute!
    It is I, your Santa! The physical item(s) are coming in the mail, but in the meantime, here are two $10 codes for Nintendo EShop Funbux. You mentioned that you have more than one Switch in the house, so you can either use one code for each, or just redeem them both on your primary Switch so the secondary one can play the games too.

    Thank you @cooljammer00 !

    I haven't been keeping up on recent switch releases, so this will be great for us! The hard part will be deciding what to get! I'm open to suggestions. I've got the basics (Odyssey, Kart, Party, Pokémon).

    Sorry I was late to post, it's been a rough few weeks for us, and haven't been in the Christmas spirit at all. Our tree even fell over today. So this is also a sorry to my Santee as I haven't done any shopping yet at all. Soon!

    The Picross S games are great puzzlers, Luigi's Mansion 3 is great, and if you don't already have them on Steam Slay the Spire and Dicey Dungeons are both wonderful library additions.

    I think it's time for a ...

    8hyrx1dwcdjl.gif

    !!!

    Last night, a whole bunch of boxes appeared because that's how we shop these days. But one of them was labeled not just to me, but to [First Name] Elvenshae [Last Name] - a sure sign that a Santa has been Secretly sneaking about!

    Unfortunately, I didn't notice that until it was quite late and my assistants were in bed fast asleep, so the package needed to wait an additional day to be prised open.

    My assistants prepare to reveal the treasures inside:
    ecob1e7zmdxg.jpg
    (They wanted an "Action Shot," so they partially opened the box for the picture.)

    Inside, approximately 42 pounds of cannons, trade tokens, and Caribbean fortresses!
    vfiiyjhi6667.jpg

    And who could my Secret Santa be? Why, 'tis none other than @Rorshach Kringle himself, with a most kind note!
    mcmbkmdxqva3.jpg

    I hope you enjoy this game. I haven't played it myself, but the fact that it is endlessly customizable should really make that quarantine life go by ... well, a little quicker!

    From Rorshach Kringle

    Age of Sail stuff is extremely my jam. I can't wait to take advantage of some days off coming up to dive into the rulebook, teach my wife to play, and then get roundly beaten!

    Thank you, RK, for an wonderfully thoughtful gift. Merry Christmas to you and yours! :D

    I have received a sinister message overnight!


    Of wretched light and cursed flame, I turn my gaze to thee,
    And send forth fiends with packages, of numbers counting three.
    The morrow, day of Pagan Christ, or some damn’d day betwixt,
    Shall all arrive, by my dark word, at latest 26th


    This is great news! I am the most stressed I have ever been right now trying to sort out a house move. Looks like im now moving next week (though will still have my previous apartment for a short while after to collect the gifts!) so this has really lightened my week up. How exciting!

    Got some boxes today, which I pretty much have every day since March 14th! I didn't think anything of it until I opened them and found they were from my secret santa!
    Wild Box (well...bag) appears!

    50700746946_981acfd821_c.jpg

    What could it be?

    A secret Santa present!

    Oh boy, my son is going to love this. It's Iron Man lego!

    50700003888_8411aaedc0_c.jpg

    That's not all! A few days ago I got a shipment notification for a box from Target. I thought it was something my wife ordered. Well I was wrong!

    50700826482_ea1c675fdc_c.jpg

    What's inside here?

    The Super Mario Bros Game and Watch!?

    50700826512_55382ab8a4_c.jpg

    This thing is so cool! It's such a neat little Nintendo collectible that I thought I would miss out on this year. I'm beyond thrilled! I've already got it charged up. The screen is really nice. Maybe Nintendo will release more of these things (like a Zelda one!)

    50700826517_e86f52cef6_c.jpg

    My son begged to put the Iron Man thing together so we did that!

    I've been expecting two packages today, my monthly coffee bean surprise box and some b o o z e, but instead the postman came to my door with a large mysterious parcel!

    Inside there was no note that I could find! But I saw the company name on the box and was INSTANTLY EXCITED!

    EEEEEE I've always wanted one of these Fairmont & Main egg holders (they make them in ducks and chickies and I love them all so much) but it's such a silly frivolous thing that I'd never be able to justify buying it for myself. Charlotte has been languishing on my wishlist for ages. Now she lives in my kitchen next to my weird owl cookie jar! As soon as I buy new eggs I will be putting her to good use!

    I can't be 100% sure this is a Satansmas gift due to the lack of card (which is 100% okay!) because I know a couple of other people in my life are sending me gifts but if this was you, The Devil, thank you!!

    During lockdown, I fell into a rabbit hole of "Chair Youtube", which is its own cottage industry just like "Makeup Youtube", with the same type of payola scandals and accusations of influencers being on the take.

    I was visited upon by a mysterious stranger carrying an even more mysterious package this afternoon. "I didn't order anything to deserve such visitations," I informed the stranger "Get off my porch!".

    "Not my problem!" He said and heaved the rather weighty package at my face, knocking me down on my ass. He turned and headed back down my front steps. "Take it up with Bezos!" he shouted from his van, flipping a pretty respectable bird as he turned the engine over and peeled off. RUDE.

    Anyway.

    WHAT MYSTERY!

    11b1l5kl82d0.jpg

    The package in question. Rather typical. Don't know why I took a picture but it seems like the thing to do.

    q4g03d5z10ri.jpg

    DELICIOUS TREASURE! The Superior M&M(tm)! It was paired with a note from my Satan, but also included their real name which I will not share here just in case! I KNOW WHO YOU ARE SATAN, YET AT THE SAME TIME HAVE NO CLUE. Tricky tricky...

    Thanks all the same, I WILL enjoy these!!

    EDIT:

    Aaaannnd all the M&M's are gone :(
