I'm not sure if I'm ready to change my profile pic, but here is a Christmas themed one if anyone needs it.

I think the Necronomicon would also violate rule 3, since it's bound in human flesh ...

 

What a strange Secret Santa topic this has turned into.  

*Completes long and arduous quest to acquire perfect SS AA gift, relinquishing eternal soul in process, slaying many hellspawn along the way*

 

 

*gets ready to wrap and send with a cute little bow and glitter*

 

*logs onto AA to check on things*

 

"I think the Necronomicon would also violate rule 3, since it's bound in human flesh ..."

 

Oh.

 

Back to the ol' drawing board, I guess...

Also perhaps a strange place to post, but happy birthday to @Grig on his big 50 today!

Look what I got!!!  Now I have to wait 24 more days to open it.

 

 

I also checked and my Secret Santa package is in transit to the recipient.  It should be there very soon!

BOX!!! 😀

Tracking info shows my gift was delivered to the recipient!

[SoulBlazer]

I got the last thing I was waiting for yesterday, so I went to the post office today and mailed mine out via Priority mail.  Should get there 12-5.

 

Now to wait for mine.

WOW!!! Found this HUGE (and heavy!) package waiting for me at the office!! Can't wait to open it! Heartfelt thanks to my SS already!!

I can't wait to start seeing what people received from their Secret Santas!

20 more days until Christmas Eve and you're trying to tempt me into opening "BOX!!! 😀"? For shame!

 

🤣🤣🤣

Love the Christmas Kitty!

Now that the tree lights are done, here's a proper picture...

 

 I'm still managing to hold out!

 

 

First present under the tree!  Yay... festive stickers!

 

(You can see my little remotes for the tree lights I just came up with today. 😎)

 

Next... ornaments!  Looks like Woodstock already made it in the tree somehow.  Lots of mysterious things happen with little kids in the house.

Stay strong brother!!!

I believe in you, Santa Hogan!

Anyone snap yet and open the box ?

[Chuck D. Head]

Quick update: All hell broke loose around here, so I just finished wrapping up my outgoing package and it will finally go out tomorrow. On the home front, my wife has hidden my package from me to make sure it makes it to Christmas.

[imstarryeyed]

Just and FYI my outgoing gift has been ready to ship since Saturday afternoon but all automated post offices are not shipping.  So Monday it is and I do not have to hold up the process! Ha ha.

Just want to send another extremely sincere thanks to @CaptainBreakout and @chicgamer for taking on the task of running the SS AA (keep having to say it that way instead of uh, the abbreviation for AtariAge SecretSanta...lol...)!  You two have been all over it and are killing it!

Sources indicate this is an actual photo of the two getting ready for this year's festivities:

Yep. That's CaptainBreakout on the left and me on the right.

Thanks Curious Sofa. 😊 It wasn't easy finding a red/green sports bra in my size.

Please don’t... 🤣🤣🤣

In modern sports, it isn't uncommon for men to wear skintight vests underneath the shirt. Not to keep the pecs in place, but to carry e.g. a GPS device.

 

In other words, I got a note that my Secret Santa package has arrived so I'll pick it up later.

[SoulBlazer]

Looks like my package was delayed and should get there today.

 

I KNOW I won't be able to resist temptation and will rip into mine when it comes.
