    Don't you worry, @noir_blood , we don't take kindly to deadbeats around these parts... ;)

    I've participated in this for five years (!) and never had a deadbeat Santa, so I'm not too worry. And in the slim chance it happens, I honestly have as much fun looking through the posts and hanging out here as receiving gifts, so it's all good.

    Over the Christmas break I got a Steam gift from Santa @testsubject23, with a game I'd been wanting since October!

    There also a physical package on the way, which I'm excited for!

    @darunia106 Glad you liked the Neo Geo bundle. I felt really bad about the package not arriving on time and wanted you to have something for the holidays.

    Edit - Santa's package arrived! I'm currently taking pictures and will post later.

    Secret Santa just hit me with a load of games!

    Bout to head out the door right now so i'll post the screenshots!

    Been looking forward to playing these ones and my recent interest in SWTOR has made me want to play some of the older games!

    But I think that might have to wait for me to finish up this..

    I think.. and this is a hunch, my secret santa is @vegeta_666.

    Thank you very much! This is my first Secret Santa, and this has been very fun, thank you again!

    Same. Oddly, my gift always seems to arrive the day after I send mine out. speaking of which, I believe it's at my apartment office but I can't pick it up til tomorrow.

    @Noizlanif there's a 1080p 'fix' for republic commando. I don't remember what it was exactly, but it's quick and worth googling. On my phone otherwise I'd send you the info.

    Love that game

    I got the second half of my stuff!

    Hmmmmmmmmmm a box o stuff and a card!

    (No image of the card, but deft use of pen scratching to make a card read "post history" instead of "internet comments"(I think) for quite the sensible chuckle! Also a very nice personal message from my Santa)

    2 blocks of nice cheese, and a can of maple syrup! Awesome I can't wait to break these out with some crackers, and have some pancakes :D

    The real shining light of the package though:

    MEATZ! I've had venison before and like it alright, but I have never had elk and am super excited to try it out!

    I've been getting more and more into cooking lately so this was a great gift. I am thinking of splitting up the elk, and doing shepards pie, and tacos with them. I am thinking the venison will get turned into burgers.

    @Shadowfire Thank you for all these lovely gifts! I'm really looking forward, mouth watering, to try them out!

    edit: Had to fix the meatz! picture.

    I'm finally home from visiting family in Iowa for Christmas! Love em to death, but family in small doses is key...

    My gift came from Germany! One of my and my wife's favorite places on this planet!

    Here is the letter from my Secret Santa @spookymuffin
    bcymepw3l2h9.jpg

    Next up we have the Weinachtszeit which I'm scared to take out of the box for fear that my kids will ruin it :)
    zunzupst8vka.jpg

    Then some awesome spice to make my own Gluhwein and incense to make the Weinachtszeit spin!

    Last, but not least is a WHOLE box of Kinder Happy Hippos.
    I had no idea what they were, but when I said what was in the box to my wife she lit up and called dibs on the box :)

    Thanks for the gifts @spookymuffin and I'm happy I have decent neighbors that won't steal a box that was sitting in front of my house for 5 days!

    @Shadowfire Thank you for all these lovely gifts! I'm really looking forward, mouth watering, to try them out!

    edit: Had to fix the meatz! picture.

    Elk is... extremely lean. I've never thought of shepards pie for it, but make sure whatever you do you're adding some fat. For instance, if you made chili with it, add bacon and/or some good ribs to the mix. Otherwise the taste can be super gamey.

    Venison burgers are good. I was hoping to get some better meats, but the people I know who usually have meat for sale had none, so I couldn't get cubed venison, venison sausage, bear, or anything else I wanted. But I'm glad you like what I was able to get!

    And I wasn't kidding about that maple syrup being "Vermont Marinade." It's great for cooking meats in (though I'm not sure about actually marinating anything with it). And if you need more, I have a few easy/cheap sources.

    I love trying new stuff meat wise(just not fish), so the elk is right up my alley! I've had venison a couple of times, but havent cooked it so that should be fun.

    I have to use the syrup sparingly. A tablespoon in a dietary sense is equivalent to eating 2 sandwiches. I can include it as sweetener in sauces and use a little bit in pancakes, but I wouldnt straight up be able to cook with a lot of it. It will last me a while and I'll share it with friends on a food day. I make some bitchin peach pancakes. :)

    Yeah I read up about adding fat, I found an elk recipe for shepards pie, and it didnt include any extra fats, but I was thinking I might try to do so anyways. I thought it was because it would go crumbly(which is ok for SP). Didn't know the flavor would be more gamey because of it. That or do a meatloaf with pork mixed in. I gotta get the final ingredients tonight, going to do it for new years. I'll post pictures.

    Well I came home to a package today. It had a nice card and a wrapped gift...for kids?
    Turns out my Santa unknowingly ordered a used copy of Owly for my kiddos on his first try. So he decided to rectify the "error" by sending us 4 brand new Owly books!
    Our daughter really liked the first one we got and I was planning on picking up some others later down the road, but now that's been done for me!
