A wild package appeared!
Inside was a gift!
And some broken candy canes, which personally is ok because I'm not typically a fan of the traditional way to eat a candy cane so small chunks I can just pop in my mouth works fine. I'll be honest, from the shape of the box I already had a good suspicion what was inside, but there's only one way to find out so let's rip and tear until it is done.
A transformer! Cyclonus to be exact. The colors are very nice, a lot closer to the animation than my old one and the transformation is really fun. I love that because of it's transformation it has working wingflaps. for y'know. space air currents.
I wanted to get my stuff sent out all at the same time, so that my target would get a 3-fronted Bull Formation attack… but that’s just not happening.
So now we’re going with Opener, Auto-Double, Linker, Shadow Ender; hits landing both before and after the holidays using a technique called “The Xmas Mixup”
I got visited by satan! at least I assume that's what this stands for
gifts! each using an entire roll of wrapping paper!
excellent!! Cracker is my favorite band and though I can no longer wear their shirts in public, I will always love their music! and now aside from The Golden Age on vinyl, my catalog is complete!
My xxxmas is going quite excellently so far, thanks! And something about being useful when days get shorter? Sounds interesting!
A Philips SmartSleep light! Awesome! I've been waffling on getting one for basically a year or two now! They do a simulated sunrise type thing that makes waking up easier since it gives your body some warning to pull out of sleep instead of an abrupt alarm. My sleep hygiene is super bad and waking up at 5:50am is kinda rough for me, especially during the winter, so this should be super useful for me and hopefully make my mornings a bit less miserable! Can't wait to try it out! Thanks for the gift!
!! SATAN HAS VISITED ME THIS NIGHT AND I AM VERY EXCITED !!
PICTURES TO COME SOON
So coming back from what was a particularly dreary day of work, I arrived to find MULTIPLE packages waiting for me!
And, to my delight, some of them were amazing gifts from the lovely LWT1973!
Simon Stålenhag's Things From the Flood!
Simon makes some amazing atmospheric concept art that's set in scandinavia and blends everyday life with far-flung sci-fi concepts in really moody, cool way. I've been following him for YEARS but this is the first work of his I actually own! I'm super excited to dig into this one, because it's more than just concept art, it also has a lot of story elements and worldbuilding background that flesh out the Flood.
Well THIS little thing won't fit me at all! So I won't have much use for it until... mid February! And then this one:
will have a little sibling! She's already playing a few basic games on the iPad, so I'm betting that in a little while we can get these two some mini-controllers, get a copy of Overcooked, and then have a family meltdown full of acrimony and screaming. It's super cute!
And last up... a grenade! Actually a pair of grenades!
NERF GRENADES - you can load them up with Nerf Rival ammo and then lob them at people hiding behind bunkers - the "shrapnel" bounces all over the place so you're pretty much guaranteed a hit! It's the coolest new addition to my non-nerf-branded Nerf arsenal!
Thank you so much @lwt1973 ! You've made this Satansmas extra special!
Alright, random human I was chosen to provide a gift to from a hat. I have procured some dark tidings and a "gift" for you, if you will. I don't know what kind of shipping I'm looking at for something this portentous and alarming, but I'm hoping it can arrive in time to ruin enrich Christmas.
Every year I get a mystery package and begin photographing and documenting it's opening only to discover it's something I ordered for myself months ago.

I've gotten very good at surreptitiously opening and resealing packages
Or for common box types just grabbing a second one that's lying around still sealed for other purposes and pretending
Holy shit. That last picture. I've never wanted something so badly in my entire life. I thought I was done buying stuff for a while, but I know what I'm doing the rest of the morning. HAIL SATAN!
-edit-
Aaaand a 12-pack is headed my way now too. Finding new stuff to buy from this is nearly as fun as the actual sending/receiving gifts each year. Thank you Bucketman's Satan for the inspiration!
I better have my best people inspect it for traps..
I guess it’s clean. Let’s peak inside…
Cool, a back pain relief wheel. I’ve had back pain since my early 20s, so this is quite welcome. But who sent it?
Ah, it was @Kyougu! Thank you so much for the gift. Although, I think I’m going to have to return it because this is the smaller 6” wheel which is for neck pain, not the 10” wheel for the back. No biggie though, the prices are virtually identical.
Thanks again for this thoughtful gift. It will be used!
Uh oh, it looks like Kyougu hit me again!
A mystery package arrives...
My safety inspector clears the package.
Let's see what's inside...
The art of the animated Castlevania series on Netflix! What a great show with fantastic art and design.
And here's the note:
Thanks again Kyougu! You're too kind!

Oh uh, so turns out there was a slight character error on the postal code I submitted in my address. It shouldn't fuck with anything because all other information is correct, but just in case you sent something to me and I haven't responded as received it, maybe that's why? Let an IMP know and I'll provide the corrected version if need be!
Two (that I’ve seen) copies of that dope Castlevania art book. Very cool - that show is maybe the best video game to tv/movie translation ever.
Ngl I considered quickly grabbing a copy of that too once I found out it existed here but I figured my package was delayed enough by waiting to replace a broken bit
Depression is a bitch ya'll. But I'm proud to say I managed to get my shit together enough to ship off all my gifts! So Satanee, you should expect them sometime next week! =D
i got another package on friday, with another eyeliner pen. The amazon packaging is kinda funny bc it's these huge boxes for just a single pen. but still
so, of all the eyeliner pens, i have been sent: striking navy, rich berry, rich clay, deep onyx, deep teal and bold brown.
A friend came round on saturday and helped me do my makeup for going out and we used them and they were fab
I really, really love the lipstick. It's just an absolutely perfect colour and it's really really wondeful
Ha no problem! There is a physical package, with emphasis on the package, on its way, but it the Canadian Post says 3-7 business days, so maybe before Christmas but maybe not, so figured the digital gift would play it safe.
RL has been very very busy and Amazon said they'd be all delivered on the 24th but I guess they came in early which is good. I'm glad each and every one made it there safely and that the grenades will have a large kill count. I saw the onesie and I knew I had to get it for you as it's so freaking cute. The book was on your wishlist and looked interesting so I pulled the trigger on that.
Merry Christmas to your family!

I am glad you like them so much! That lipstick, honestly all the lipsticks that company makes, are AMAZING! I had one from them called “Frog prince” I wanted to get you but I guess they don’t make it anymore? It is green but changes to a beautiful light pink/rose color.
I debated long and hard on what to gift you. I’m not very creative but am always up for helping another beautiful soul feel as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside.
There is one more coming but won’t be there until January so don’t be confused when you randomly get another box 😂

oh that sounds like a wonderful lipstick. pity they were out but im still incredibly happy with what you sent me
btw i also really love the nail polishes as well. wonderful colours and its really nice to get some vibrant greens and turquoises. i wore the turquoise out over the weekend and loved it

It's soft and squishy, like a bag of marshmellows. A familiar feeling that as a child could ruin Christmas, but now as an adult—pure opulence!
3 individually packaged pouches, each with a print more fun than the last!
(Me)Undies!! The wheel has been broken! My undercarriage will no longer be subject to box store garments! I cannot overstate how great these things feel. They should have sent a stupid-sexy flanders.gif! There is ample room for my fellas and the breathability is off the charts! Thanks again @Bucketman! Ain't no goin' back to American Eagle janky ass boxer-briefs after this.

Thank you so much @lwt1973 ! You've made this Satansmas extra special!
It's such a big roll of wrapping paper that I'm going to be using it for like twelve years. Enjoy the music!
Also tonight I acquired the last piece of the puzzle replacing the item that was damaged on its way to me so I gotta get this package shipped
Edit: wait, nerf grenade? The hard plastic shell just drills someone in the face doesn’t it?
thank you
But! Let me know if you want a like 3' tall wooden sculpture of a shiitake mushroom.
I've gotten very good at surreptitiously opening and resealing packages
Or for common box types just grabbing a second one that's lying around still sealed for other purposes and pretending
It says it is from Dragon's Blood Elixir.So either this is hot sauce, or sometime sent me mystic potions. Or both!
Oh yeah, it's hot sauce
A lot of hot sauce!
12 bottles ranging from balsamic and cappuccino flavors to ones with skulls on the label, I think those are hot!
Wow my sauce shelf will be stuffed with the good stuff for months now! Thank you Satan, I promise to put these to good use
-edit-
Aaaand a 12-pack is headed my way now too. Finding new stuff to buy from this is nearly as fun as the actual sending/receiving gifts each year. Thank you Bucketman's Satan for the inspiration!
I don't have packing tape somehow. We had so many rolls when we moved in sept we must have used every last scrap.
... TOMORROW THEN!
