    Hey Koopah, how'd those shelves work out for your sister in the end? ;D

    :D My dad built them and she uses them in her crafts room.

    Your gifts are enroute, Santee. Beware!

    (Unless my stalking failed me and you own them, in which case, uh, beware anyway.)

    I was about to let my Santa know that I'll be gone from the 21st, but then I got a tracking number! Seems like it's going to arrive Wednesday. Quite excited.

    Dear Santee, I have been awash in a sea of final projects and exams. Grad School +Full time work is not fun some time. But be assured that the gifting will commence soon!

    One of my favorite things each year is seeing people spouses and children and even pets being gifted.

    You're all good peeps!

    Santee! Your gift is on the way, but due to long shipping times, it might cut it *pretty* close to Christmas. If it looks like it might not make it, I'll see if I can't get you a little something to tide you over.

    My 4 yr old (featured above) is very excited to try all the games. And thank you for the print out binder! I was about to go do that this weekend and give it a try with my son and mommy.

    And the painted blocks were made by my coworkers and me and can be used as ogre game pieces!

    I'm pretty sure I can see where my present is on a UPS map right now. It's still at the distribution center though.

    It was a lot of fun. I got hardwood flooring samples from Home Depot and cut them to the appropriate size and then brought them in to work.

    My instructions, "Paint ogres for an internet stranger (and my kids, I bought a copy of the game for them as well)."

    And it was a super relaxing arts and crafts lunch hour.

    All the ogres:

    That's actually a print out that was glued on the block. The two above it were painted based on the design. If we number them left to right and moving from the top to the bottom, I made 4,13, and 15.

    Thank you, the boys all loved looking at the drawings and started playing with them (in their paw patrol tower). Thank you again for everything.

    This is an update for any cross border Santa-ing this year.
    The long and short of it is that international mail is literally being withheld from entering Canada where possible. International mail is expected to delay into the new year at a minimum, projected into March (unknown if this estimate is conservative or generous).
    It's pretty much going to limit your Christmas options to buying from within Canada, and there will likely still be some delay even then. The estimated delivery time on a pair of books I ordered from Chapters was about 2 weeks, so there's your reference. If you already put something in the mail you might want to follow up with Santa and let your Santee know so it can be anticipated and handled accordingly.

    I'm not sure who sent me my gift as there wasn't a note, but I was given Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. So excited to finally own this! Thank you so much mystery Santa!

    @shadowane I’m the culprit. Difficult to find a hard copy version new these days, but lucky for us the one I did find I have access to a discount too. Yay! Happy Holidays to you and yours!!

    I really appreciate it! I've waffled on buying this forever just because I had it for the WiiU but I've really wanted it. My 5 year old has already asked to play it so we'll get started with it soon.

    the other day i was leaving for work and noticed a package that had been by the door presumably for a couple days but i missed it because i thought it was all stuff for my roommates

    but it wasn't it was for me and it was from Knitdan

    Knitdan got me a knitcap and some of those classic books that I've never read and also some cool coasters and tissue paper for the cat

    Proxy keeps forwarding questions to me from my Santa.

    Hey Santa, I'm sorry I'm so hard to shop for. My girlfriend goes through this every year, so if you're having a rough time, just know that someone else has it worse.

    This is awesome. At first I was wondering who element brian was, but the magic of Christmas brings us all together. It kind of makes me want to branch out of my comfort zone in the G&T forum to new uncharted lands.

    It's okay. My Santee also did more than one PA Secret Santa and we both got them similar gifts. I think they might have even posted their CF SS gift in this thread since it wasn't labeled.

    @anoffday did you get another package this week?

    Mortgage company just double billed me this month putting me into the red with my bank on my birthday, and it's going to take at least a week to get the money back... At least I already made all my SS purchases, just gotta wait to ship them now.

    I don't remember specifically, but I think all my bad luck just offsets all the really awesome things that happen to me.

    Yes! I got it this morning and I'll post the pics asap.

    @KoopahTroopah strikes again and this time in the form of an awesome SNES color changing mug! Thanks! I'll probably drink some tea and take a picture of it tonight.
