    Right. The real Christmas season doesn't start until the day after Thanksgiving.

    I can't really say why I sent my gifts early without revealing myself, but I have my reasons.

    Agreed. For me the day after Turkey day means it's tamale, eggnog and stalking season.

    reasonably, at least two of those can be year round seasons

    I mean, I understand the point you guys are making. I'm just used to remote island shipping times, so I expect things to take weeks, not arrive the next day.

    Aye, I was but making a joke. Please send gifts whenever you please. Stalking season started as soon as Mrs. Claus Radiation sent out the targets.

    Nice! I got the Lets Go Eevee, but didn't get the pokeball thing. Not sure how much it adds, but I've been having fun playing so far. Just beat the 3rd gym.

    Also for your awareness if you create a shared album and wanted to post the pictures in line you should maximize the picture, then right click on it and copy image address and then use that with the [ img ] tags.

    The Pokeball Plus works with your Switch as a controller to help make your throws a bit more accurate; and it also adds a free Mew to your game.

    Aww damnit. Kinda want a Mew. That's good to know. I'm sure I'll be able to pick one up used.

    You guys were matched despite being the santa/santee last year?
    Hmmm...going to have to ask Mrs. Radiation about that.
    Also that Mort box/cover looks fantastic!

    Do y'all just make plain rice in it or do you throw all the ingredients in at the same time?

    Updating from last year’s list from other secret Santa:

    I like exotic woods for carving/whittling.
    I like games and art stuffs I can do with my nearly 5 year old and brand newborn daughters.
    I like your crafty/creative things.
    I like your local brews/coffees/teas.

    I probably don't like nudie things.

    I'm not allergic to anything.

    If you are going to go the video game route, I've got a PC which I prefer for most games but I can’t really use currently for long stints while raising up the newborn. I have a PS4 which I hardly use for gaming any more but I wouldn’t be opposed to something rad and newish. I have a Switch that my eldest daughter and I both enjoy using quite a bit. I currently own Splattoon 2, Zelda BOTW, Octopath Traveler, and Lego Ninjago and Just Dance 2019 and I’ve preordered super smash bros. I’m up for just about anything expect most shooter games on console because I’m terrible at them if not on PC.

    Amazon Wish list

    Edit: updated with a Black Friday purchased game that I now own :+1:

    There are so many good things to play on switch. Honestly, I could see myself playing mine for the rest of my gaming life.

    @davidsdurions you hand carve? Neat! There's an arts and crafts thread in see++ you should post in. It'd be nice to have more wood working in there.
    I mostly do CNC work.

    Sitting around the house "working" today I hear a knock at the door and by the time I made it 4 feet the UPS guy was gone. I thought it was one of the packages I had purchased but it turns out it was a big ole box of festive joy!

    Here's the haul!

    https://imgur.com/a/ICe9rbE

    Thank you so much Santa! My kids are going to LOVE their new shirts and I'll be sure to take a picture after they put it on (I already know which shirt is lined up for tomorrow for me)! I didn't see a name anywhere on there so reveal yourself! Or not, you're my Santa afterall.... who am I to demand anything??

    To my Santee: I went ahead and picked your stuff up from Amazon today! Should be here by Wednesday. I'll wrap them and ship them immediately!

    Santa, a heads up. I may get Skyrim for the switch, having never played it.
    Also going to be purchasing a bunch of new PC stuff on Monday. My poor current PC was basically dying trying to do some of the 3d model tool path rendering I was doing yesterday.

    My computer is set up again! I can sit and internet! I can...
    kgp5c8ckgx8k.gif
    Apparently there was shenanigans going on behind my back. I work from home, so my wife had to infiltrate my PC Mission Impossible style to get access to my Steam account. But once she did:
    tsccn0qdcpqb.png
    1v3lasekcn4n.png
    I was on the fence about Slay the Spire, so thanks for the shove - it looks like the kind of oddball fun I've been into recently, and I'm a sucker for both card games and roguelikes.
    And... Quill! We played Moss at PAX a few years ago, and Quill stole our hearts. I can't wait to high-five my little mouse buddy again!

    We just moved in to our first house, so the last few weeks have been chaos... but a care package arrived to help!
    o29nu2tj0d5r.jpg
    The cutting board was immediately claimed by the wife and rushed to the kitchen. The towels were also immediately useful as at the time, we had a single unpacked towel. And the doormat sits in front of my work from home office, welcoming people (and my cat) to my lair.

    Thank you so much, and happy holidays to all!
