The OFFICIAL AtariAge SECRET SANTA 2015 Thread

Got mine, but I am the annoying patient type and will wait until christmas morning. Hope the box I sent out has something the recipient will enjoy, I drew one of those people who seems to have everything, so I used the shotgun approach with lots of fun, weird stuff. Everyone post pics of what you get!

I got my Secret Santa package today! And you know I ripped into that bad boy. :)

 

No candy included, but the goodies inside more then made up for that...a very nice DVD set on collecting and a whopping $40 in Steam cards! :-D

 

 

Those videos are pretty good, even if you do gotta look at John's ugly mug along with the gaming goodness! JK, buddy!!

Man, I finished packing my Secret Santa box. I hope my victim recipient enjoys it as much as I enjoyed putting it together! :)

 

Thanks, Grig, for doing this, I had a lot of fun and I haven't even gotten my own package yet! :cool: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

My Secret Santa package is just about done. Honest! One more thing I want to get which I can do tomorrow, and then it will be off.

 

DZ-Jay makes me feel a little less guilty. Those who are still waiting, don't fret, boxes are still coming! And to my own Secret Santa, if all goes as planned, I'll open my gifts tomorrow as a reward for finally getting my recipient's gifts in the mail!

Yeah, I didn't do it on purpose, honest! I was waiting for something to arrive first, and I was counting on shipping it today -- but DOH! The Post Office in the USA is closed on Saturdays now!!! :dunce:

Some are closed Saturday. Some are open on Saturday for limited hours. Mine is 8:30 am to 11:30 am and that's it.

So today I found that last thing my recipient's box needed to be declared "complete", and miracle of miracles, the Post Office's outgoing mail chute was not clogged on a Sunday evening! That means I've finally finished my Secret Santa duties, and the box is on the way! And that means...

Time to see what goodies my Secret Santa gave me!

Oh, but wait...

No fun opening Christmas present 10 days early.


I tell my mother that every year and more often than not she'll still get itchy and insist I open a present on Christmas Eve. Yes, she still spoils me. Being an only child and not yet married with kids will do that to you.

However, in this case, since I'll be out of town for Christmas and away from all my video game things, and since a lot of the local gift-swapping is happening before the big day anyway -- not to mention it's entirely okay to celebrate the Christmas season and not just Christmas day :) -- I feel entirely justified in tearing open this box now!

Games for the SuperSystem! And a video game documentary I haven't seen! Now I've got something to watch while I'm out of town!

Pez! Now I'm gonna have to buy that Pinkie Pie dispenser. Or maybe Rainbow Dash...

This little guy made me smile. Even after Christmas he'll have a happy home with the rest of the video game critters on my toy shelf at work.

My Secret Santa decided to be not-so-Secret, and left me a nice note in the box as well. I won't out anyone here just in case they'd rather stay Secret to everyone else, but I will say I hope my Secret Santa has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well. Thank you for the goodies!

Yeah, come to think of it. I think I'm going to tear open my badboy that will be arriving today. I have been the only child and had no siblings during my 35 years of life and no wife or children either. My parents always wanted me to open my gifts early as well. I am going to post an unboxing video to share with all of you today. Can't wait to find out what I got. The good news is it will happen today as the package is on it's way!! :)

I need that poster.

 

I believe I received my Secret Santa package today (says it's from "SS", so hopefully it's the good kind of "SS"), and I'll likely open it later. I may video the unboxing, but at the very least I will take some photos. :)

Watch out! It could be from the Nazi's secret police! :o
