DrMooCowz Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 My package has arrived today, as well! I do have a very small, fledgling Twitch channel ( https://www.twitch.tv/drmoocowz ) that I plan on doing a live opening at some point (don't know when yet, but I'll give a heads up here when I decide to do it). I think that will be really cool to do and I'll make a clip/highlight of it to share here for those who can't/don't want to see it live. Should be awesome! And like last year, how long before the temptation to press the shiny, candy like button takes over? 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck D. Head Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Just a quick posts to say my package did arrive mid-week. I have everything for my outgoing package and putting it together tonight. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Perhaps our fear for delays due to Covid-19 turns into everyone will receive their gifts super early, and then it becomes a waiting game, who can refrain the longest from opening it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeatari1 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I shipped my gift out this afternoon. I was assured by the postal worker that there would be no issue for it getting there well before Christmas. Perhaps in as little as a week. As for your comment Carlsson, I have great fortitude (stubbornness as my wife calls it) when it comes to these things. I shouldn't have an issue waiting for Christmas. This is fun! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't have an issue waiting for Christmas. This is fun! I decidedly do NOT have such fortitude! ? While years in retail have eroded my holiday spirit & left me exhausted & cursing commercialism, the few things that remain untainted still managed to bring out the lil' kid in me who loves Christmas. And this whole thing is definitely one of the good things- not only for the generosity shown, but the amazing ability people seem to have to guess what someone they've never met in person would like as a gift! I will consider it a victory if I make it to December before I open my box! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+chicgamer Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Wow, that is awesome! Watching people post as their gifts come in and wondering what they could be is my favorite part of Secret Santa each year! EDIT: Oops, this was in response to HoshiChiri posting the pic of her package. Didn't realize we had another page of posts past that. D'oh! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBreakout Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 I want to encourage everyone, whether you open early or not, to take LOTS of pictures! We all want to see and enjoy your reaction! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeatari1 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I see @CaptainBreakoutput Santa hats on his profile pic. What about you @chicgamer? I tried a couple on mine but the jaguar just ate them, that'll be a mess in the morning. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBreakout Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Hey @joeatari1 (watch me rush to my co-MC's defense)... She can do what she wants! Besides, it good indication she's a better secret santa then me, she don't go all flaunting it on her head like this big old goldfish. And the cat ate your homework, huh? Tell me another one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBreakout Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Fair warning... quality is low... but here some of the commercials from my childhood Xmas tape. Still, super campy and super cheesy. Maybe you'd like to ease into the Xmas mood with stuff like this. You are under no obligation to click this link, especially since it's six and a half minutes of your life gone forever. But here it is! Cable TV. It's not not just more choice, it's your choice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerpoco Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 My Package just arrived!!! I'm not terribly good at "waiting". Trying, but stream of consciousness will likely catch up with me eventually. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomberpunk Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Shit... y'all started waaaay early this year. This will be the first time I've missed out since probably the beginning. Bah humbug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 All my items are together. I'll wrap it up and mail it tomorrow. So exciting.? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Well, there were some latecomers earlier in this thread. I'm not sure if there are three of you so at least you could mix and have 50% chance of not knowing who sends who a gift. Clearly there still is time before Christmas, in particular if you live in the same country. It is true that we begun collecting names earlier than before this year, in particular due to the world situation and multiple reports how the mail gets severe delays, so waiting any longer would risk many miss getting their gifts in time. Now possibly the warnings about mail delays were exaggerated and several seem to have their packages delivered, waiting a month to open them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
