I can be really, really nasty.
I mean, I probably won't be, I'm too happy to have company here, but I might!
Wanna do some 2021 Happy Dookmas stuff?

Can i borrow one of those pencils? I forgot mine
It’s a training class to teach them to say “sorry” for everything, and how to properly watch hockey, and consume poutine.
Woo finally posting! Pics have been in the can for a week but y'know how it goes.
A-one...
A-twhoo...
A-thrreee...
...KE-RRUNCH! RIP! SHRED! TEAR! CUT! MANGLE! OMNOM!
...Three.
Here they are, laid out a little more presentably.
A pair of generic Overwatch socks (appropriate since I don't main any one character), and oh-HO, looks like somebody remembered that I used to live in Linden, NJ a long time ago. But who might that be?
...I might've known. The book is an entirely appropriate gift, since I really DO want to watch many, many more movies than the handful of ones I've seen so far, though sadly it seems the book only appears to discuss a mere thousand titles, which will only be able to put the barest of dents in my deficit.
Thanks, @Celt Z !

How many deliveries does it take to get to gifts from a Secret Santa? Le-het's find out...

@General Specific your second gift is on the way. In a box far bigger than it ever needs to be considering the tiny size of the item. Just don’t accidentally misplace it with the bubble wrap. But I do hope you enjoy!
Now I get to put in my own update.
Hey @blotsfan! Turns out the last thing that was ordered is finally in the US! Only took 2 weeks to get it from China. Had I known it was going to ship from there, I would have gone with a different option, sorry it's taken so long. Hopefully it will be there within the next week or so.

I am currently working nights so my schedule is a little wonky. I go to bed at 8 am and woke up at 3 pm to find....A GIFT! I opened it before taking pictures because there were addresses and personally identifiable information all over the front. But @Tress thanks for the Ollieberry...Halleyberry...uh...OLALLIEBERRY jam and honey! And, of course, the cookies!
I'd never heard of olallieberries before so this is going to be a real treat! Thanks again, man! I love this!

Glad you like it, dude. The first thing I ordered for you went out of stock AFTER I ordered it. And I couldn’t put a note or anything from this site. Anyway…Merry Christmas!!
I had found a few others that were more geeky, but I wasn’t allowed to ship them to Canada, guessing it was subversive behavior or some such with the patterns. You do still have another box to arrive, but the last update I have is “Cleared Canadian customs.” This box was still almost a week early to the predicted delivery date.
I really hope these are some fun patterns to play with.
@Far, your Secret Santa wanted me to provide you with this finely-crafted tracking number:

Unnecessary!
Presents! Gifts! What may possibly be a symbiote trying to escape in the bottom left!
The dogs smell something and are interested. Looks like one of the ziplocked bags contents breached, luckily it didn't escape the confines of the bag.
First up is a neat little puzzle toy, I've managed to get it apart, reconfiguring it is proving not as simple but I'll get it!
This may have been what was luring the dogs over. When I saw the turn key while unwrapping I thought it was Spam brand, not familiar with Klik.
Sarah said ooooo when I opened these and immediately claimed a package. Roo chased it when I tossed it to her. The breach of the other package is more visible here.
Craft herpes now litters the floor, aptly, fueling the chaos further.
A collection of various reading materials, I had wanted Hilda actually when I saw they'd made an animated show of it as well!
The aroma escapes now and I'm certain of what is in the escaped package. A little drunkard inspects.
"Why is it spicccccyyyyyy?!"
And the unfortunate victims of the Canadian postal service. In their defense, the package did go cross country during some historic flooding on my end.
Thanks for the goodies and fun, I assume, @HCGLNS!
Man they crushed the heck out of that! Glad the ziplock held! All 4 beers are local breweries. And Spam is the American version of Klik, so that's the good stuff doncha know! I noticed you didn't have any Groo on your shelf, so hopefully it will tickle your funny bone. It's my favourite comic and the only one I collect, as any fool can plainly see. Space Cowboy is also local to Halifax.
Just had an update today on the second package. It says the package arrived at the delivering post office around 4pm on December 16. So hopefully it can make its way to your place in the next week.
My company is using elfster.com for Secret Santa coordination this year. I wonder if we should look into something like that (3rd party hosting) so that poor @Emrys doesn't have to be left out because she's coordinating...
It handles all the matching, addressing, etc, and allows Santas and recipients to anonymously chat back and forth.
edit: Looks like elfster, at least, stays in business by adding affiliate links to the wishlists. Which I'm personally totally ok with.

I had been getting reports of a ups package coming my way for several days now. I didn’t remember ordering anything, so was wondering what it could be. Well, it arrived today.
The package
Whatever it is, it must be fragile because it was wrapped in multiple layers of bubble wrap.
It’s a custom mini of my DnD character, Shield! Thanks, @Shawn!
here are a couple of closeups:
Great details
Now with Billowing Action Cape!*
*cape does not actually billow or have any action

I hope I got the colors right. Been a while since I painted. I practiced on a few minis before I put yours on the stand. Hope you like it!
Yeah, it’s great, thanks!
I've used this as well for small family exchanges and it works great.
