I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving, for those who celebrated it!

 

Tracking numbers have started to trickle in. Just a reminder—please provide either CaptainBreakout or me with the tracking number whenever you send your gift so that we can pass that along to your recipient! It lets them know to be on the lookout for the package, plus it helps CaptainBreakout and I keep track of which gifts have and haven't been sent.

 

We're getting so close to Christmas, now! I guess I need to break out my profile pic with the Santa hat, if I can find it. :)

Shame its not the one he plays live :)

 

[Verse 3]
Yes Virginia, now Santa Claus is dead
Some guy from the SWAT team blew a hole through his head
Yes little friend now, that's his brains on the floor
I guess they won't have the fat guy to kick around anymore
But now there's no more presents for children's enjoyment
And the Elves gotta stand in line to file for unemployment
And they say Mrs. Claus, she's on the phone every night
With her lawyer, negotiating the movie rights

I'm feeling in the Christmas Spirit today!  I know December is still a couple of days, but hey!

 

To make this a tradition, I'll post a link to one of my favorite chiptune Xmas Carol albums.  This one always puts me in the mood to celebrate Christmas with a retro game, or go secret santa shopping online.  :)

Finally.  All of the gifts for my recipient have arrived.  I am hoping to have it all put together and out the door by Friday.  I thought I was on top of things by having everything on order by the Saturday before Thanksgiving.  One gift decided to take the long way from Florida to Virginia, via Honolulu?  For an impromptu geography lesson, see the below diagram.  It shouldn't have crossed the Mississippi River, much less over the Pacific Ocean.

Maybe this Saturday, Monday at the latest.

Package mailed out today to my Secret Santa!

I will say that my package is going to someone outside the US, so along with the 'main' gift I looked up foods and candies that were not sold in their country.  Upon finding Moon Pies were only sold in the US, I knew right away what else to include in the box. :)
