Grig Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Christmas Comes to Willow Creek isn't bad Christmas movie even though not many heard of it because it was a made-for-tv movie. Yes i have seen that! It has the Duke brothers, It's from 1987 or 1988 I believe. good tv movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Ok serious question. Are you going to open your A.A.S.S. gift the day you get it, or put it under the tree and wait for Christmas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I crack that sucker open as soon as I get it, cause it's the only 'real' gift I get each year. My parents always ask me what I want each year, so no surprise there. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I open mine early, only because I spend Christmas out of town and that would be one more box to lug there and lug back. I could wait until after Christmas, but, why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I asked the question, but never gave an answer. I believe I will wait for Christmas myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grig Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 My last Secret Santa item should be here tomorrow - then it's shipping time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I would totally wear an Atari Ugly Sweater Well, I hope my Secret Santa victim recipient would also wear one... because that's just what he's getting! I just finished my Christmas shopping, now I wait for stuff to arrive to my house. .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I crack that sucker open as soon as I get it, cause it's the only 'real' gift I get each year. My parents always ask me what I want each year, so no surprise there. My parents and siblings ask me the same exact thing. I make them a list of various items of various price points and were to buy them for the best deal. Not one thing is every selected. I end up with a cheesy calendar or a shirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Sent mine out today. I have done international sales before via my Bricklink store but dang I didn't expect the 3 pounds package to reach an "anal penetration without butt lube" level when USPS quoted price to me. I'd have to give up Bratwurst, Currywurs, Sauerbraten, Maultaschen, and Schnitzel for the next 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Got my Secret Santa package today! No idea who sent it since their real name was on the box and no card inside, but I did find four neatly wrapped gifts (and better wrapping then most guys can do, I'll say that much). I resisted the temptation to open them today, but no promises on how long that willpower will last..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoshiChiri Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 My box is on its way! Now I just hope the recipient likes it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Zeptari Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Sent mine out Saturday. They should get it Wednesday. I'm with soulblazer, I'll try to hold out till Christmas also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Mine went into the mail yesterday. I'm afraid my recipient will have to forego extra wrapping of the individual items inside. I had to save every half millimeter/gram to keep the box slim and light enough, in order not to get sodomized by shipping costs. @7800fan: I feel with you - had the same problem on another occasion. Once you cross a certain weight, it can get disastrous... I got lucky this time :-). Edited December 6, 2016 by karokoenig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I found that by reducing the box length or width by 1 cm, I saved nearly $10 on shipping costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Well after the fun-filled week (from hell) I had I will be shipping my SS box out tomorrow.

Two-in-the-Belfry Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Still waiting on one item to be delivered before I can ship out my secret Santa. C'mon, postal service! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grig Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Sounds like all is going well. I am almost ready to ship out my SS gift too. Remember to have your packages shipped by this Saturday the 10th if possible! I hope you all are having fun, I know I had a great time picking out specific items for my Secret Santa recipient! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'm waiting for one more item to arrive for my recipient and it will be shipped out by the weekend. Sorry for the delay as I have been working 75 hours the last few weeks plus the next many. I got the box decorated. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I received shipping notifications for my purchased items, so I expect to ship this week. I think I covered my recipient's suggestions well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Got my SS box today. The one I shipped out is still enroute, I think USPS used turtle for courier as it's taking sweet time to get out of Michigan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Dropped my outgoing SS package at the Post Office today. CRAP!! I forgot to put the 3 AA's in the box! Sorry Secret Santa recipient! Batteries not included... I'm a bad Santa... Luckiest Santa EVER! My girlfriend just came back and said she forgot her wallet. I grabbed the box, cut it open and put in the batteries. Yippee!! Christmas miracles do happen! (Yeah but I get so little... it's a miracle to me. ) Edited December 8, 2016 by ClassicGMR 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
