+bent_pin Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Strangest thing. Not a complaint by far. A while back I received a tidy pile of Atari manuals in the mail. I hadn't ordered them, so I assumed that they were my Secret Santa gift, and posted thanks. Quite a nice pile and 4 that I didn't have yet 🙂 However, today I received a shipment notification from my Secret Santa. So, I appear to be twice blessed this year. I'm quite thankful and I am very excited to see what is in the inbound package. I think I'll drop a few more dollars in the red bucket this year. I hope everyone else feels the spirit this year as well! 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/355349-the-official-atari-age-secret-santa-2023-thread/page/8/#findComment-5365565 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck D. Head Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I started wondering how may years I had done this Secret Santa thing; I was thinking 7 or 8 years. I was surprised to find out I have been participating since 2010. It's a tradition I would not willingly give up. 7 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/355349-the-official-atari-age-secret-santa-2023-thread/page/8/#findComment-5367108 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are our resident bums giving their "this better be good" looks. In other news, according to the tracking, my recipient's package has been delivered. I hope it arrived in good shape. 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/355349-the-official-atari-age-secret-santa-2023-thread/page/8/#findComment-5367292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
