Just to get it to a UPS store today and we're on our way! I've played a lot of botw and I've never heard the deku mention anything about UPS. Also, I hope my recipient is as excited about personalized hand crafted items as I was about making it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "retorts" are more "funny observations I didn't want to put in the card on top as it would reveal what the gifts are." Also, makes sense the deku never mention UPS. They seem like filthy FedEx users. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 The hits keep comin'! Now I find out the UPS tracking number for Santa's delivery isn't working. (Which may make sense given the harassed, zero-sleep looking guy behind the counter with at least 9 feet high stacked boxes behind him seemed a little....on edge.....) Yeesh, what a rollercoaster getting this gift has been! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainBreakout Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I was digging around in a thrift store (as I do) a few months ago and found this little tidbit. It's just as cheesy as I'd expected. I'm home with the kids (who are sick right now) and gave it a whirl. If someone is interested, I could try digitizing it, since it doesn't seem to be readily available on YouTube. There's some of the record tho. This tape is somewhat damaged, but the fidelity of Disco Duck Christmas seems not all that pressing in the grand scheme of things. Merry Christmas all! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy2600 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 On 10/1/2022 at 9:41 PM, chicgamer said: Attention, ladies and gentlemen! This is not a drill! The official Atari Age Secret Santa thread for 2022 is now open! And we need your help! An evil magician has stolen Santa's bag of gifts for Atari Agers. Your objective is to find gifts and send them to the homes of Atari Agers where they belong. Join @chicgamer and @CaptainBreakout as we attempt to thwart the evil magician's schemes and keep the holiday spirit alive! The Secret Santa gift exchange is open to ALL Atari Age members in good standing (explanation to follow). The Rules: 1. Post a reply within this thread of your intention to participate. 2. PM @CaptainBreakout or @chicgamer with the following information: Atari Age username Name and mailing address Ideas for items you might like (this can be specific, such as a particular game, or more general, like a console you collect for, or even a list of your hobbies or interests); please try to provide at least a few ideas. Send us anything you would like your Secret Santa to know about you for the purpose of gift giving. Please take the time to formulate some ideas for your Secret Santa. Secret Santas want to have fun coming up with your gift! In case your Secret Santa wants to include some treats, be sure to provide any dietary considerations or preferences. You may also offer a suggestion (e.g., "I love candied Yorgles!"). Please indicate whether you are willing to ship internationally. Note that international shipping can be expensive, so keep that in mind. If you participated last year, please tell us whom you were Secret Santa for. 3. All responses need to be received by Monday, October 31 (Halloween). Shipping times may still be delayed this year (especially internationally), so please start early. We will send out your Secret Santa notifications by November 6. 4. How much you spend is up to you, but please don’t feel obligated to spend more than you’re comfortable with. We want as many people who want to participate to be able to, and we know this year (again) has been difficult financially for many. The suggested total gift value has always been around $30 USD. If you are in a position to be more generous—go ahead! But don't go broke. 5. We recommend you ship any packages sent via USPS during the first week of December. For international packages, we recommend you ship no later than late November. Please provide tracking information for your packages after you've sent them. This lets us know who might need a reminder about getting their packages shipped. The thread will be regularly updated as we get more participants. If you’re participating, please follow through with your commitment so that no one gets left out. Don't be a bad Secret Santa! As we did last year, we want to emphasize that Atari Age Secret Santa is about the giving. We all like receiving gifts, but if you're looking for an even exchange or coming out ahead, you're not really approaching this the right way. To reiterate what has been said in past years ... Don't be a Bah-Humbug and just enjoy giving and receiving with other Atari Age members. Need gift ideas? Easy. Just think about the member's interests. Also, gifts don’t have to cost anything (or much anyway). Good at Photoshop? Great! Print something cool and personal on glossy… maybe get it framed. Can you code? Wow!… do a little custom hack and blow their mind! A few loose carts. Look through your collection ... maybe something there that YOU never play, might be right up their alley. Have fun with this. YOU are someone’s Santa! What better opportunity do you have to blow the mind of another retro-head?... like yourself, but different? Have fun... You ARE Santa. -CB CHEERS!

Dopy25 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 My secret Santa package arrived last night! Well some time yesterday and I grabbed it last night. I only thought it might be my secret Santa based on the Happy a Holidays sticker. I went to open it because I've ordered a ton of stuff online for various reasons and forgot a bunch of it. When I opened it, I saw there was a card and a bunch of candy inside. I closed it right away. I want to open it on Christmas when my family opens theirs. I don't get a bunch of stuff for Christmas like they do, so I have something to open with them. I also enjoy a good surprise. Thank you, secret Santa! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
