Received mine a week or so ago. Wrapping game seems to be very strong this year

Thanks for the gifts santa. I know I don't post much any more so I can't have been the easiest to stalk. Wasn't sure if I was going to take part this year but glad I did as due to being in tier 4 these are probably the only presents that I'll be opening on Christmas day.

g.man

This is all very exciting.

I feel wrapping-shamed already.

g.man

Can't be worse than my efforts mate. I'm absolutely hopeless at wrapping stuff.

Officer_V

I absolutely love wrapping gifts. Watching people tear and pull at my hard, precise work is heart-breaking.

Cheers for the booze santa!

Chaz got the whisky cos he ain't a baby spirit drinker like me

Cheers! Might have one tonight!

Unlikely

Pure hunners of happy Christmas, weegies.

Are you fucking kidding me Santa! This is amazing, I've genuine tears here because it's just so wonderful. I even have a t-shirt of my local Forza so I can represent!

Thankyou for your generosity and for putting in the effort to send it over here all lovingly wrapped. Definitely has improved my mood as I am about to leave to go to work.

Merry Christmas!

ShabbyMcCrabby

Gawd, should I even open this game and watch! How much is this badboy worth mint condition Reg?

Just kidding, I'm gonna play it like I would have roadtripping in the backseat as a kid.

edit: I just looked it up on eBay and, uhhhh, yeah Santa I think I owe a shitload of beers if we ever get to stock it up.

afgavinstan

Amazing scenes shabs, and fully deserved too!

Play that thing shabbo! Merry Xmas! I'm just to open mine but before I do I have needed to say

Wow, thank you so much Santa. Very generous.

We were actually joking the other day that we need to get a jigsaw, as we normally go to Wales to friends for New Year and there's always a communal jigsaw on the go.

The book looks like an amazing resource for the pen and paper rpg, which I plan on running this year at geek club....if we can get together.

Cheers Santa, you rock.

Questor

Opened mine earlier

This is super good! The book looks really interesting, and it's a weighty bastard, you could knock someone out with it! The mug, I have never seen that particular artwork for Hollow Knight before, I absolutely love it

And on to the food.... Meredith Dairy cheese is something that I discovered just last year, and I am possibly a little addicted to it... Pickles are something I can (and do) eat from the jar, and as for a sambal....now we're talking. I put chilli on a lot of things so this is completely up my alley.
Not pictured is an apple pie that we have already eaten half of, that is also super tasty.

Thank you so much santa, your stalking skills have been excellent, and the presents were absolutely amazing

thats the third year I believe where either we have had each other or both had each other. Secret Santa Death Pact

We'll dance this merry dance for years to come. I even got Ailie to write the card and tags because I knew you'd probably recognise my handwriting (before remembering that you'd probably guess it was me from reading them anyway. Doh)

Merry Christmas! My own presents to be opened this afternoon after I'm back from checking in on my dad. Excite.

Another quirk of the draw. Perhaps whoever does this next year can make sure to keep you two apart.

Brilliant work from my santa. The front room is a war zone so I'll upload pics later when I've got the fire going and it's all relaxed again. Will even use the wife's phone and add filters and do a top job. As ever, this thread is great. Not a clue who it was, but thank you. Top work with the card too.

nick_md

Amazing work from Santa

The mug's gone straight into my top tier, creasing over the guide atm and the top is fantastic! I never start threads really so I'm chuffed that one took off a bit and provided some entertainment, really happy to have a reminder of it now I can floss around Plumstead and beyond (tier permitting

) Thanks Santa, you've made my day!

afgavinstan

That top is a cracker, brother. Handshakes all round.

Wookienopants

Wow, top work team!
I haven't got to mine yet, they're behind a mountain of presents that the kids are working their way through

We're all having a big family Christmas breakfast to take a small break from the present carnage.

Syph79

Guys, I’m terrible with images, so I’ve shoved them on Twitter. Absolutely thrilled with my Secret Santa. Thank you so, so much.

Thanks very much to my secret Santa. As ever I’m a little overwhelmed with the thought and kindness. I’ll upload pics later when the family stuff is done but I think the stone is one of my favourite ever gifts. Thanks so much!

g.man

Right lets do this! I'm super excited

What's in the boooooxx...

Ooooh a big pressie!

and in it, lots of pressies!

Wow! This is really cool!

Thank you so much Santa! Your kindness and generosity has genuinely brought a tear to my eye.

Quality presents, this is the best time of the year on the best forum in cyber land.

hylian_elf

Whoa nice presents all! Love that t-shirt, G!

Unfortunately mine hasn’t arrived so can’t open yet obviously. Maybe it’s because I opened early a few times, as soon as I got the package. I always have to try and beat Tiger!

Will open as soon as it (hopefully) arrives!

b0r1s

Santa has been!!!

First... a top mug for watching Lord of The Rings while drinking G&T’s

Amazing art cards... loving the City on The Edge of Forever particularly.

Think me and my granddaughter will have to learn Klingon together :-)

Will be dropping some knowledge bombs in the F1 thread in 2021 putting Bob and Dino in their places.

Afraid to say I don’t get the mask??

But saved the best til last. That is some damn fine hand painted artwork. Thanks Santa for all the kind gifts. :-)

And now the pics...

g.man

That t shirt is amazing!

JonB

I'm guessing about the mask:

Howdy, Stranger!
