raskar42 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 So folks are revealing themselves this year (pleae, no more innuendos!! )? I didn't think many folks did last year. For me, I really wanted to last year but refrained. If most peple are this year, I'm game! if you're into that sort of thing - go ahead - i'm not here to judge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I am resisting opening that package; 19 days to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahuffman Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Wow, my secret santa is awesome! I got another package with the biggest bag of peanut M&M's I have ever seen, along with a large bottle of hand sanitizer. Thanks a bunch man! Also, I am sending out my package today. I feel bad about taking this long. I have been really busy lately and just have not had a chance till now. It should still make it in plenty of time thankfully. I hope my recipient enjoys what I got for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptenmaterial Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I haven't received any packages but I understand that there is an envelope wating for me at my folks' house... might it be a gift from my SS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Also, I am sending out my package today. I feel bad about taking this long. Don't feel bad, I haven't sent mine out yet! But I'm working on it now--hopefully I have a large enough box! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael David Morsette Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 If you listen closely you can here the envious chatter of little boys, the groans of an indulgent wife and the giggles of a grown man... Thanks captmorgandrinker, great gifts! The T-shirt is really what took it over the edge for me, thanks One thing I've learned for next year, I'm really going to deck mine out more next time. I mean the gifts I sent were good (though he still hasn't opened it yet.... poor puppy) but I really like some of the touches I've seen in the other gifts that added to the Christmas fun, a lot more fun in mine next time 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberto Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Got my package today!! I'm trying to resist the urge of opening it right away and wait till Christmas. Will I succeed? In any case, thanks a lot Santa... PH2600! Edited December 6, 2012 by roberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 My recipient is scheduled to get theirs tomorrow. Some of you guys are making me feel like I didn't do enough. I hope my little "drawering" on the box makes for a "festive" feel even though the contents are rather ordinary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulBlazer Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Well, I included a few bonus items with my package, but it was just low cost stuff that I had that I thought my SS would enjoy besides the main items. There's no obligation to do that, it's just that I wanted to. I know some people have better collections then me...hell, I'm not even a collector. It also came down to having spare room in the box.

Grig Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Boy those are great SS gifts (that Lynx shirt is awesome)! The box I sent was too plain, but I hope my recipient liked the items - I definitely tried to give what they wanted. I will do things a bit different next year. I'm an AA SS virgin - but next year I will be just a bit more 'sperienced. Edited December 6, 2012 by jtoubeaux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnaFarce Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I will do things a bit different next year. I'm an AA SS virgin - but next year I will be just a bit more 'sperienced. You and me both. I didn't even think about making mine festive. Now I wish I had drawn some pine trees or a drunk stepfather or something on the box to make it more Christmassy.

Metal Ghost Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) a mysterious Amazon package came in monday but i didn't open it until tuesday, not even realizing it was from my SS. when i saw the Wii games (Madworld & Resident Evil 4), i thought "what the hell, i didn't buy this stuff!" but then i saw the chocolate peppermint candy and started laughing in realization. great job on finding two awesome Wii games that actually i don't own! and that candy rocks! thank you, Secret Santa! also, my outgoing package will be shipped either tomorrow or thursday. I'm so glad you enjoyed it....Merry Christmas! I really wanted to get you a more lighthearted game instead of one of the two I got (to round out the package) , but when I put it in my cart I found out it was on backorder. I've gotten lucky the last couple of years on not giving people duplicates....here's to hoping in advance that my luck continues for next year! You and me both. I didn't even think about making mine festive. Now I wish I had drawn some pine trees or a drunk stepfather or something on the box to make it more Christmassy. I'm sure mine was festive, what with the smiley-face arrow from A to Z and all Edited December 6, 2012 by Metal Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captmorgandrinker Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Thanks captmorgandrinker, great gifts! The T-shirt is really what took it over the edge for me, thanks Glad you liked it! I did a little bit of AtariAge post stalking to find out which handhelds you had, and saw your awesome Lynx collection. Figured I had to get something in there Lynx related.....

Cebus Capucinis Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 it's probably a puppy. I'm sure if you shake it really hard you'll probably figure it out, then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90eEVC50smY#t=1m35s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) I got my package today. Oodles and oodles of Atari 7800 Goodness and a bag of Reese's Pieces! Can't wait to tear into that! I have not sent my package out yet. I'm waiting for one more item to be delivered to me (Amazon says by the 10th, but they're usually quicker than their estimated delivery times.) Once that arrives, package will be on the way. Merry Christmas to all! EDIT: Just tracked item I'm waiting for. Looks like I'll get it tomorrow, so I will be shipping my package out by the 10th at the latest.

TheGhost Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I just couldn't take it any more and broke the seal on my package. My SS rocks! In addition to a generous Amazon card, he sent 3 games. I am the happiest person ever to receive an Asteroids cart as it completes my set of 165 NTSC R2s! Oh happy day! I'm now only need 123 more carts to complete the full set of NTSC carts in the AA database. Thank you SS! - theGhost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
