[Halverson]

I thought were waiting until Christmas to open?

Some naughty children just can't wait!

Yeah, we're definitely supposed to.

Supposed to.


I think I'll say it's fair game to open and post this weekend.

Everyone shipping late knows how hard it is to not open gifts. Saving us from temptation!

[CPTBadAss]

Such anticipation. I got a UPS notification something was coming from Vermont. Is that my SS?!

No

[asdfjkl36]

I've had my package for a week or so now. Been super busy so I haven't even had time to think about opening it

But I put a bunch of random stuff on it so I don't get tempted to open it.


Even flipped it to not see its contents on the customs form

[ghostjuggernaut]

Got a nice big box from SS today. I'm gonna do my best to wait to open it.

[katushkin]

My mum says there is a parcel for me at hers, so hopefully that's mine Should be able to go over and pick it up this weekend.

[nubbinator]

Got a box, didn't recognize the name, opened it.  From my Secret Santa with nothing wrapped.  ****. I tried to not see everything, but some surprise lost.  Pics will go up this weekend. 

Yes, it is decreed that you can open early and post this weekend.

[Booper]

I got a big ol' box today! I didn't know what it was so I kind of opened it. I didn't get far though before I realized it was probably Secret Santa (unless I have other random people sending me Christmas gifts for no reason). I can't wait to open it all the way!!!

I'm already excited just from all the peanuts!

Shipped my stuff out today, sorry for cutting it so close to the last minute! should be there by monday get ready to get ****ing santa'd

My gift arrived today! I was too impatient. Came in a bubble mailer.



I already know all the songs from mario on the piano so I'll be using the book to teach some of the kids at the music school i volunteer at some fun songs !!!

Unfortunately, I don't really like sneaker culture anymore, but the book looks cool! I'll be sure to gift the pins away to some of my sneakerhead friends and i'm sure they'll find the book interesting as well.

Thanks for the stickers! They'll be put to good use, love the booper! (not sure what that ctrlalt cardboard thing is though...)

bro, secret santa, you didn't even gimme ur name. who do i thank?

My dad's not going to be coming back to the U.S. this year or the next year, so this is pretty much it for me on the christmas present front. Thanks for organizing this nubbs!

[tigersharkdude]

the suspense is killing me. Im ready to open the package ..... lol

[Remenition]

on a side note the gifts that were posted farther up in this thread look so cool!

glad you guys are all enjoying your christmas presents (those who have received and opened)

MERRY CHRISTMAS! I LOVE THIS HOLIDAY!

That's one of the older CTRL Alt stickers. It's clear except for the CTRL Alt part. The brown is just the backing :)).

Do it!  The work week is over, so it is now officially the weekend.  You are good to go. 

[Skuloth]

Awkwardly enough my roommates texted me to let me know that my secret santa package arrived just after I left for 2 weeks.

US postal service why do you hate me!?

[nubbinator]

I show 31 out of ~40 people shipped.  Come on you slackers.  Don't make me come to your house and **** you up.

Mine is shipped, I got an anonymous tip today. Just in case my tracking wasn't updated today.

Yours is updated.

The good news is that 5 of the ones I'm waiting on have PMed me this past week saying that they were shipping soon and should all be reliable people.  That leaves three people I haven't heard back from.  One is somewhat unsurprising, one is notoriously slow at shipping, and one is reliable, so hopefully I hear back from them soon.


That said, if I don't receive shipping info by Christmas eve, I will be shaming people.  It's totally uncool to do that to people.

On a happy note, I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone put together for their giftee.  I know I had a ton of fun for my person and probably went a little overboard.

Nooo! that's a bummer. Maybe you could get your roomies to forward it to where you are!? But then maybe it would arrive the day after your 2 weeks is up 

[jerue]

Wow. Such package. Very present. So seekrit. WOW




Local chocolates I think (delicious AF)

Grumpy cat keychain (sweet! I will try to prop this up on my desk)

space doge t-shirt. I worked hard this year to fit into some older plaid shirts I had. This will serve as a good goal to get down that one more size (XL right now).

Thanks SS! I know who it is, but gotta keep seekrit



Hope my giftee posts soon :3 , I ALMOST went very overboard but I tried to follow the wish list with a bit of creative thinking )

Throwin' down the hardcore judgment.
