I do appreciate my recipient giving some specific suggestions as that is always helpful. I was hoping to get it shipped this week, but it will have to wait until Monday. As I was wrapping the gifts this week, my daughter really got into the Christmas spirit by making some homemade decorations and decking out the tiny hallway outside of her bedroom. If you are wondering, the elf party is in her brother's room. Those pictures are awesome. Nothing like Christmas spirit! I'm hoping one of your gifts from last year still has a little magic left in it!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGamer Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I’m real excited. I just purchased some presents. When they finally arrive, I’m eager to mail them out to my recipient. Merry Christmas everyone! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoshiChiri Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) Bloody 'ell! And here I thought I was usually an early mailer! I will set this aside with my stocking for the next month. (I filled my own stocking since most of my circle doesn't anymore, after I realized I could keep the surprise by going crazy on etsy mystery bags! 🤣) Edited November 22, 2022 by HoshiChiri 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again I've made the assumption that "everyone from so-and-so country grew up with so-and-so cartoon". I did the same thing with @carlsson a few years ago with Dunderklumpen. Goes to show how cartoon-centric my brain is... and assumptions on my part. Anyways, Dot is cool and particularly so because she's wacky. So is Dunderklumpen. I'd love to see a cross-over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) For that matter, Dunderklumpen also is a somewhat forgotten, perhaps even obscure movie from 1974. By the way, if you like Per Åhlin's style of animation, did you check out Karl-Bertil Jonssons julafton? It is broadcasted over here every Christmas Eve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagan_om_Karl-Bertil_Jonssons_julafton Edit: I found out about the English DVD release from 2004, in which one scene with a bare chested bag lady was censored. Swedish TV has no qualms to show cartoon breasts at prime time on Christmas Eve, one of the most important TV days of the year.

Cebus Capucinis Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 GOOD NEWS EVERYONE (well, at least one person)! 2 of the remaining items arrived today! Now just the handmade one and some supplemental items and we'll be done! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a 5 second bump for the animated Mr T/Wacky Wall Walkers special at the beginning, which I intentionally left in since it was so amusing. I knew someone would edit it out fairly quickly. I wonder if this is my same uploaded source footage or if someone found another copy. It looks a little cleaner but hard to tell... (Someone might have worked on it). Heh.. it was on my childhood tape VHS during the Pac Man Christmas Special if I recall correctly. Recorded from live TV on our family VCR. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGamer Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I really hope the recipient I’m sending these presents to, really enjoys them! His list to Santa was clear and humble. ☺️ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I'm expecting to receive some items soonish, and can then finalize the package. Fortunately there still is one month until Christmas, so it should hopefully arrive reasonably in time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainBreakout Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I think I post this link every year... so it's not annoying OCD, it's TRADITION! (there's a difference, I think) https://doctoroctoroc.bandcamp.com/album/8-bit-jesus Great music to wrap presents to, especially for recipients in this thread. I plan on doing that this evening. Oh, and Thanksgiving is officially over, so bring on the jingle! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about sending a text message, an email, perhaps even make a phone call so I could intercept it sooner? Or for that matter, let me decide how I want to receive it since I paid premium for import duties and express delivery? Unfortunately I am getting deja vu feelings about this, like it happened before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoshiChiri Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 The replacement for my missing item arrived safe & sound! That leaves 1 more thing, but it's more of a stocking stuffer so if it runs late I can mail without it. But it's gonna get some extra time, because for the first time in 2 years I'm sick! Stomach flu slowly hitting all the family. At least I was low on the list so I have plenty of supplies for a speedy recovery 😅 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
