    I’m laying here getting ready to go to bed and I just wanted to say thank you again to everyone who participated. The gifting has slowed down now but it was A GIFTING FRENZY for awhile there.

    I seriously love all of you and it warms my cold, dead heart to see all of the love shared in here every year!

    got a pm asking if i received a present that says it was delivered like two weeks ago (i did not)

    just posting to let saints know that i've posted everything i've received (i'm pretty sure?), so if it says i should have received something and i didn't post about it, hopefully we can figure out what happened and/or get you a refund

    Hey, just wanted to let any saint who saw something was delivered that I haven't posted yet, that my parents received a large box, so some wires may have gotten crossed with my address last year.

    I will post once I get it, but my step-mom is an enormous procrastinator, so it may be later.

    I can't wait to share it here!

    Might be on your amazon wishlist for the address because I'm lazy and just used what Amazon had in their system, there'll be one more package hitting that address too.

    This one contained... tiny manz!

    And... a missive!

    I have received the gift of clothes! By wizard law, this means I'm free now, right? (Oh, and btw, super mega thanks, because all my current shirts are dirty. I should do some laundry. :) )

    Their only purpose is to weaken a planet's defenses, attract a spacefleet of ravenous dinosaur-bug monsters, and then get eaten by said dinosaur-bugs.

    Whether most of them know enjoy the fact that they're going to be bug food is... up for interpretation.

    Warhammer 40 000 is a silly setting, yo.

    But aren't all of those dinosaur bugs just going to be eaten by the bigger bugs? And so on and so forth until you've just got a swarm of massive bio-starships with bellies full of bug juice and the ability to turn that bug juice into future bugs?
    You'd think they'd all know and anticipate the whole "Being eaten and reduced to raw biomass for the swarm" thing.

    Hmm. I wonder if this is because of your sainthood last year? All the other stuff has come to my new place. I appreciate you letting me know. I will post everything when I get it, it may just be awhile (my parents have a box for my son they've been sitting on since early November).

    Thank you @see317 for the gifts today! It means a lot to me, you made my day, especially after dealing with a ton of snow

    And thank you @milski for the gifts earlier in the month (Airpods and A Monster Calls bluray combo pack) that I can now actually take pics of to post here!

    Glad you liked it @Sweeney Tom , hope the useful stuff is useful for you, and hope the fun stuff is fun. Didn't think that one was going to arrive until Friday.
    And I know the taffy is delicious, so I won't mention it.

    Don't feel too bad about the puzzle if you can't solve it, I've had one of them on my desk for years that I can't figure out. It's stuck in a halfway position where I can't get the inner rings unlinked, and can't get them aligned back into the correct position. Tried looking up hints on doing it, and they only leave me more confused.
    But it's still fun to fidget with while stuff is loading.

    I got two tracking numbers showing up on usps informed delivery, both of which are showing as "in transit, arriving late" currently in case anyone sent me anything else.

    I think usps is really struggling right now with the weather, tons of holiday packages and covid, and here in northwest Ohio we also have the dreaded Michigan usps facility that often slows things down anyway. So if they are gifts and don't show up until after Christmas for some reason I'll for sure dig the thread up still to post about it.

    My suspicion that you have my apartment bugged continues to mount. Got this Lego set after Luca told his Grandma last week that the only thing he wanted for Christmas from her was carpet caltrops for dad to step on. From the same kind soul who I only have a real name for who got the Uno game and a few other items.

    @Kadith sent cookies! I haven’t tried them yet, but I’ve got some milk off frame just ready to take a swing at these bad boys.

    Thank you all again!

    Is that okay?

    Just broke out a Saints gift from last year for the first time with Luca, @Heffling 's Castle Panic. I was a bit worried because it was for ages 10+ that Luca wouldn't get it. I was absolutely wrong to worry because he went bananas for it and it may just serve as a gateway for deeper nerd crap, muah hah hah.

    Let's not get it twisted, the Saintees are also better people than any billionaire.

    I have rich acquaintances (maybe a couple friends if I thought real hard about it?) and poor friends. You better believe that those acquaintances will gobble up any free shit that comes their way.

    My poor friends though? Getting them to accept some help, more than often than not, is nigh on impossible. They tell me there is someone worse off that need it more than them. I am so glad I can give back to our community because I've been so lucky, and I am grateful to those of you who were able to reach out and ask for a little help.

    Like sure, you can say it's just a Christmas gift, but youse have been doing it tough for months, if not years, if not fucking decades. here you are, still grinding on and all I can say is that I hope I can have your strength to carry on if times ever get hard for me.

    I used that giftcard to buy a set of pedals to try to get some cardio in from my computer chair and a webcam so I can try to get some face to face time with friends until the vaccine is widely distributed and we can all see each other again. And I still have enough to get lunch sometime this week.
