Loving this thread. Still waiting on opening my prezzies as we have family over and me and the fiancé are waiting until we are alone to open em.

My Santa played a blinder this year!

I’ll be making good use of the book come spring. The classic Beanos were a great touch too, brought back plenty of awesome memories

This Porco Rosso mug though...

I bloody love it! Outstanding work Santa, you’re a legend.

Cos

Excellent effort from all the Santas again this year though. Stronk Rouj is genius!

As always, this thread proves one of the best things about the forum. Merry Christmas all!

hylian_elf

Yep. Can’t wait til next year. One of the best things of this forum. Brings out the good in all of us, of which there is plenty.

hylian_elf

Love to you all.

Cos

And a shout out to Yoss for organising this year. Never an enviable task so big thanks for taking it on

Roujin

Yeah, top Santa-ing Yoss!

Kazuo

Ooft, I'll be grabbing myself that Porco Rosso mug. Best Ghibli film.

GF forgot to pack the thing that had arrived so only get to open the very nice note that came with my earlier whisky bauble today.

Still lovely, looking forward to keeping up with this throughout the day as more people unwrap their goods. Merry Christmas all.

@monkey: although there is still a package to come, you should have something in your email. Check and let us know if you’re having trouble finding it.

Massive rhs knyiu to my Santa. I’ve taken pics which I’ll upload when get a chance.

Card outlines that the presents weee split between me and Olivia (my daughter). This was so kind as I’d left SS till last and I said she could open them with me. When she found out some were for her she was over the moon and loves them all. Especially the glitter dust.

The presents I got are perfect. Thank you again so much.

As with the last 2 years I've been a part of this, my santa outdid themselves and put me to shame:

Rum, chocolate, socks, and best of all, lego! And thanks so much for the gift for Cullen, that was incredibly thoughtful of you, I'll post a picture of him wearing it soon.

Merry Christmas badgers. Love you all.

Roujin

Omg Lego ship in a bottle. Fucking craylord!

JonB

Great pics everyone. Some top Santa work on display.

Speaking of which, my Santa has decided to send me a PSN code today anyway, since my gifts haven't arrived yet. That's incredibly generous and a really nice thought. Thanks.

Hopefully the other gifts will be here soon.

Pride of place.

TA-DAAA!

To my secret Santa...

My first thought was ‘Not another poo themed book’, but it’s actually the shit. Solid prose had me giggling even before I filled the extremely handy hip flask - a genius move. I can enjoy a swig of single malt at any given moment today and believe me it’s been christened already!

The card made me chuckle but it was always a bit of a protest vote gone very wrong

and FWIW am now a Remainer.

Anyway, fuck politics at Christmas, thank you for the awesome presents and there’s still a mystery envelope to be opened!

Diluted Dante

As Amazon gift slips say the name of the person who sent it, I know who my Santa is. Cheers to

Spoiler:

You smashed it out of the park lad. I'll try and get some space to take pics.

b0r1s

Well my Santa really knocked it out of the park...

Number 2: Feeding my Star Wars fanboyism

Number 3: This book makes me realise that I Don't know as much about this great film as I thought I did

Number 4: I can make a start on writing my failing attempts at an F1 career

Number 5: Wow, just far too kind, a taster set of 5 Japanese whiskeys

Santa, whoever you are, you are kind beyond words.

Love this place.

afgavinstan

That's a class haul. Well played that Santa.

yourfavouriteuncle

Here’s all my gifts laid out in a nice neat order. Thanks secret santa whoever you are (though I think I may know who you are).

Yossarian

When does the reveal normally get done?

Obvs. there are a few things still in transit so it would be done in spoilers, but should I give it a few more days? After the new year? Today?

Any thoughts?

Diluted Dante

I think it's been done on the day before.

hylian_elf

I can vouch for that pistachio and honey Hotel Chocolat choc. Nice.

nick_md

Props to my santa, got this wicked book of concert posters that's right up my street, always loved these Avalon / Filmore style posters from the 60s/70s! Really cool.

Not pictured is a load of celebrations that got eaten throughout yesterday

Got a suspicion of who it was from but will wait for the reveal

Thanks Santa!

I think generally it's around now. Boxing Day always seemed right to me anyway.

All our xmas presents remain unopened including the secret santa parcel. Looks like they will now be opened on sat or sun when missus and baby are back.
