Santa, I'm sorry but I may have bought the Pajama Sam complete pack on steam because A. Pajama Sam is the shit, and B. I kinda doubt that was on your list. If it was I apologize.
Opened up my front door today to find a gift from santa!
After I tore off the wrapping
Edit: And all caught up on the days!
It was way easier once I realized that the inside of the flaps had little instructions. The little turrets are super cool, one can even fire.
The label had a name so I might have done some reverse stalking, hopefully I got it correct, thanks @deveric!
Yep, that's me! No idea why USPS took their time on this, 2 day priority apparently means "get it there when we want it to". PS more incoming in the next few days. I need to get my shopping done and taken care of here shortly, just trying to decide on the last few things...
Dear Santa! Thank you so much for the gift. I love it all. My little guy especially will love the shark attack hot wheels set. Pictures to be posted in a day or so! A triceratops may or may not have assisted in the unwrapping.
Oh crap! Took longer than a day or so.
Dear Santa, my apologies in taking so long to get pictures put up. Another Santa gave me a gift early: the gift of a new job! Unfortunately, while wonderful, that gift requires me to pack up a house and find another one. So again, I apologize Dear Santa for my delay.
Commence with the photos!
A box has arrived? What can be inside giant cat? I don't know Tricey, let's find out!
More boxes!
I shall arrange them as so.
Ooooh, this race track eats cars too!
Would you like a snack?
Thank you Santa!
It's already one of my favorite toys! I've already taken it apart twice and had Daddy put it back together and I know how to work the shark! ("Shark ON! Shark Off!" Shark Bite!")
Oh man, just got back from a work trip and the wife told me we got a package.
I assemble a crack team of box openers!
Indy (cream color bunny), Elsa (darker brown bunny), and Mr. Alan (Guinea Pig) gooooo!
Indy is all over it!
A gift for the child! Elsa continues to investigate in the background.
Elsa and Indy team up to open the coffee cup!
Indy has already made himself a temporary home.
I don't actually think that box contains anything for me! The wife has already made off with the mug and kiddo has snatched the pony.
Success! Thanks so much @anoffday it was awesome opening that! Also Broken Age was great!
Glad it got there ok! Merry Christmas! There may be more gifts soon mainly because I'm a spontaneous gifter and bad at planning.

Hey! I was gifted on Friday! Sorry Santa I was out of town all weekend in NYC. That's a crazy place, so I'm glad to be home. Anyway here's what I got!
I have a love hate relationship with NYC. If I'm there that means I'm probably also going to the Nintendo and LEGO stores. It also means I'm probably driving in the terrible traffic and smelling sewage and walking under scaffolding while I'm there as well.

I did all of those things! Except the driving. I got one of those Christmas sweaters from Nintendo World, even though it's not an actual knit sweater, but it's still pretty cool. I'm excited to wear it to next week's Christmas parties and festivities.
Put up lights on the house for the first time ever. String was too long, even after looping back. So, I made a wreath out of branches knocked down during the wind storm a few days ago and wrapped the extra lights around that. I have never made a wreath before, and I did it without looking up how.
This is the part of the story I can't believe either.
Believe it. Drove our minivan through half the city before finding a place that could park our friends 15 passenger van. Once parked we walked the rest, but it took much longer to find a parking lot that would take their oversized van. (no parking garages we drove past were large enough)

On the tenth day of not Christmas my true love gave, two more bundles absolutely free. :whistle:
I'm giving away one bundle containing Risen 2: Dark Waters, Sacred 2: Gold Edition, Saints Row 2, and Saints Row: The Third, and another bundle containing Metro 2033, Risen, and Sacred Citadel. Since SteamGifts does not have listings for these two bundles I'm going to give each away to the first person to respond and tell me why they want these bundles, which games they are excited about in the bundle they choose, and which game they are going to play first.

HURRAY, THE GIFT OF GUNPLA!
Awesome call, Santa initiatefailure. Awesome call.
I'm very much looking forward to being able to make progress on my MG Gundam X now that I've finished painting my secret Santa gift. A nice change of pace indeed.
Post a few pictures of the EZ8 when you're done putting it together, eh, @grim123?
I made a shirt of aluminum jump rings in college. It's too small for me now but it was awesome and fun to do between classes.
Santa, if any packages are expected to arrive tomorrow I'll not get them until late. I'll be sitting in the local theater for 9 hours tomorrow watching the entire Hobbit trilogy in 3D.

That sounds like torture. You can actually read The Hobbit in less time than it takes to watch the movies.

I don't read that quickly, but yeah, I like the movies but I don't care for the additions they've put in. They could have easily made one movie around 3 hours to cover 90% of the book. Two was understandable as Tolkien can be wordy. Three was pretty silly.
Considering what they were able to cover in three movies for the Lord of the Rings, these are kinda sparse. Could you imagine if they had made LOTR into nine movies?!
Still looking forward to it for the fun and action.

I made a wreath out of branches from yard, holy from yard, and Christmas tree branches.

I should take a picture of it.
My girlfriend did the same, bits of holly and pine needles and cones and it's turned out really well, even if it does prick my arm every time I walk into the kitchen.
We've had a pretty homemade Christmas this year as it's our first one together. 3D star bunting made from fancy wrapping paper and neat stuffed baubles. We also made sparkly ones by wrapping glue soaked twine wround balloons, sprinkling with glitter, letting them dry and popping the balloons.
It's made the house look really warm and cosy, plus it's unique to us

I was trying to figure out all of the new series and gundam's since the last time I'd seen any of the shows actually air and it seems like it's gotten complicated. 08th MS team was my favorite though so I hope the EZ8 is a cool addition to that for @grim123. The rest of the gift is probably a little ridiculous I admit.
I've already gotten part 1 of my gift and that was a very cool 1 gallon brewing kit. Going to use that during Christmas. Here is the second part!
A box appears!
Wonder what's inside it besides lots and lots of packing peanuts? Presents!
Wonder what they are? Besides the ominous "Drink Me!" message
Okay, took a small taste and yum, that is good. It's some sort of burning cinnamon thing but I think it's homemade. This flask is cool too with PA decals and stuff. Even Chthulu wants a taste!
Very cool stuff. The cupcake book is crazy neat and I can't wait to make them for my 1.5 year old. He'll go crazy for some of these I think.
However, that's not the end of things. I still have 2 pdfs I can't open and to figure out who is my santa. The first of the three pdfs was 69 pages of recipes for some reason. I'll post when I figure out the other two but I may need another hint Santa!

Thanks! I love Tales games so much and I've never got to play more than a few minutes of Abyss. Now to get some ebooks!
Thanks so much Santa!

Thanks @Zython! I'm excited to try these out!

Since I have no idea what this is, you should take pictures and show everyone and let us know what a jump ring is!

If it's the jump rings I'm thinking it could be, they are used for jewelry making and chain mail type things.

Perhaps I can interest you in my meager selection of pins?
What could it be?! ANTICIPATION!
Boots! (okay they're slippers but who cares) Possibly lifted from a robot!
They're super comfy, although the sound effects scare the dog a little. Had to take out the batteries. :P
Thanks again to @aerynkelly for being an awesome Santa! Prepping to start slaying dragons on my next day off!
