@LittleSin had to use her Christmas savings because of stupid car troubles. So they have nothing for Christmas. Well, we can't have that!

Let's give them a Christmas! Please note that the donations will go to me and then I'll send the money to her. And the donated amount is +$50 because I can't send it to myself.

Let's do this!

Done.

Ahhhh...guuuuuys!

Thank you.

I've been in some stupidly tough times in my life, and know how much it can suck when your feet get kicked out from under you just when you think you've got your head above water. I've had some amazing friends that were willing to help me out during the toughest times, and I know how hard it is to ask for that kind of help.

Thankfully, I'm in a much better place these days, and can afford to lend a bit of a helping hand.

I'll do my donation during lunch. Don't let me forget, guys.

Hey, @Emrys! Don't forget!

I just don't know how to properly express my thanks.

I can't really talk to my parents or sister about it, you know? My parents are above middle class people and they believe I should always have a fund for emergencies. They are right..but what happens when you use the emergency fund on another pressing matter and you haven't had enough time to refill it yet, you know?

I thought we were doing so well. We had our selves nicely budgeted, money for Christmas in place, bills being paid and some money for recreation set aside. Like, Blue is big in MtG and was going to do a release tonight (or next week? I can't recall.) and Jet wants to see Big Hero 6. The latter is now being skipped but Jet will still get to see his movie as we have enough points for at least one free ticket.

Sorry. I am babbling.

I just...its a relief knowing you guys are here.

Got paid today. I am giving you the money I was going to use to buy Shadows of Mordor. I got enough games to play at the moment so I can wait. Some things are more important, you know?

Don't do that! Jeeeeeez. I feel bad enough as it is!

Enjoy your game!

Too late! Jet can't buy his own game by waiting two weeks. I can. I can wait a bit for a game. Hell, by then it may go on sale!

Shadow of Mordor. Just one shadow, don't go complicating things.

I'll be able to kick something in as soon as I get paid. It was only a year ago that I was unemployed and dead broke on Christmas, and feeling horribly depressed about it. Now that I'm in a slightly better place, I can help to make sure someone else doesn't go through that.

Depending on when you stop donations, and what our budget looks like, I may be able to donate a bit more again next month.

PayPal decided to freeze my account is there any other way to donate?

Dude that sucks! And I don't think there's any other way. I only have one paygate account.

Why'd they do that?

I have to wait until I get paid next week, but I'll donate all that I can on Wednesday.

It says they randomly selected my account for extra protection. But when I try to verify the information so I can unfreeze it it's not working. I suppose I could call them but it is all so annoying.

Seriously,though. Don't forget.

I will have no more of language, young lady. You, Mr. Sin and the Littler Sins will have a wonderful Christmas. It will be magical. There will be joy and laughter.

Do I make myself clear?

All joking aside, we got your back, Sin.

Already done.

$475! I love all of you guys.

Depending on when the cutoff is, I can toss a sawbuck to the Spawn of the Elder Gods. Just not too soon.


*wants to be eaten first and spared the horror*

Apparently the thing is done when $600 is reached, however long that takes. Pretty amazing haul so far for only the first day!

@LittleSin Could you PM me a mailing address? I don't have Paypal, but I'd like to help out.

I havent exactly been able to get on my feet yet here but i am starting a new job come this sunday. If donations are open when i see some income come in, i cant send much but i am in to send a few bucks.

Same happened to me.

COUNT ME IN...once I finally reset my Paypal password. Really gotta stay on top of these things.

Holy shit dudes.

I just looked at the total and..like...

HOLY SHIT.

Shortest Christmasing EVER!

Given that I had a sizeable credit card bill and rent to pay with this paycheque, I'm a little low on funds. But so happy HF is still able to crank out the money for good causes like this.

[DOUBLEPOST=1415420347,1415419784][/DOUBLEPOST]Screw it, changed my mind. Couldn't donate much, but any little bit helps, right?

And we hit the $600 mark. In one day. Holy shit.

So should I leave it up for a bit or take it down?

Leave it up if it means people can still donate. We should make sure @LittleSin gets the full amount after PayPal gets its cut.

HOLY-!

You guys are amazing. I mean, I knew that but...wow!

It looks like I've got the be the contrarian here. I didn't doubt that we would hit the goal in 24 hours. (In fact, I had planned to joke that we were slowing down if we didn't make the goal.)


It's Halforums, that's what we do.

Everyone with me, now!

Would love to help out if I could - but barely have any extra at any point right now to give, especially since I just put tires on my wife's car.

No worries, man. We got her all covered.

Would @Dave (or someone) mind telling/PMing me the Paypal address for this?

Guys, I don't think I can properly express my love and gratitude.

I'll make this up to you all, some how!

Y'all have a happy Christmas together and that'll be thanks enough for me.

Post pics of those kiddos opening their presents. I know Alice isn't going to have the same reaction to presents as Jet, but the cuteness is going to be epic I'm sure.

I choose to interpret it as Jasper saying "You damn well better believe it. Tits or GTFO."

I COULD be wrong, of course.

You heard them, @LittleSin, you have to draw us a pair of these!

Dude, NSFW that shit. There's not a single stitch of clothing in that picture, and everyone's sitting with their legs spread wide.

Now there's an idea for an art comission...

God bless us. Every one.

Y'all have a good holiday now.

Once again, thank you all.

Now I have a different favor. I have started taking the money you all donated to us and started shopping for the kids and husband.

The thing is, husband has this




on his wish list. Amazon.ca only has one seller and, after contacting him, I'm being told there is a chance it might not get here until early January if I order it. Other places are selling it for a steep price increase...and shipping.

Does anyone know where I can get this for a good price and on time?

That seems to have worked perfectly!

Did you give them @Dave's email address? He obviously needs more spam and another catalog.

@LittleSin Late to the Christmasing, but I finally sent out my donation in the mail today.

Dude, you really didn't have to.

This looks like a good place to ping @LittleSin and let her know we miss ya! Don't worry about telling us where you've been. We're still here for you regardless.

I guessing with an infant and a 5-year-old, LittleSin barely has time to remember her name. But we hope things are going well for you, even if it's hectic!

She's still on Tumblr now and then.

Also, last I recall, wasn't Jet having some serious acting out issues? That and a new baby is a hell of a handful.

You guys need to learn to check someone's card. She was on yesterday.

We weren't around during humanity's lost age of hyper technology between the Mesozoic and the last ice age, so this is still new to us.

Now I just looked at her profile and it showed that she was last seen at 6:14am on Wednesday.
