ClassicGMR Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I waited until Christmas Eve if I remember correctly. That probably won’t change unless I need a pick me up or I just can’t stand it anymore!

carlsson Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I dug into the candy early on, but saved the wrapped gifts for actual Christmas. I think many might be doing the same, at least as long as the gifts are individually wrapped.

I was 100% successful in eating the candy as soon as the package arrived and I think I opened my gifts about a week before Christmas. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/297462-the-official-atari-age-secret-santa-2019-thread/page/5/#findComment-4395199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chicgamer Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Last year, I was urged by my Secret Santa to go ahead and open my gifts, so I gave in and opened them early. I may wait until at least Christmas Eve this year. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/297462-the-official-atari-age-secret-santa-2019-thread/page/5/#findComment-4395521 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrMooCowz Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I'm more in the boat of "just go for it!". More time to enjoy the new things!

carlsson Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Yeah, in particular if it is a package from Amazon delivered by drunk reindeers. By the way, I bought different candy intended for my Secret Santa four (4) times and ate the first three ones. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/297462-the-official-atari-age-secret-santa-2019-thread/page/5/#findComment-4398896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainBreakout Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Whenever I hear "Look at the bright side," whether it's the Christmas Season or not, this gag always comes to mind... ... also happens to be from one of the best Christmas specials ever made, IMHO. All my items have been gathered (despite a minor setback from an eBay purchase that did not accurately match the description -had to get a little crafty to solve that). Now it's time to wrap things up, as they say. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/297462-the-official-atari-age-secret-santa-2019-thread/page/5/#findComment-4401379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
