maybe a good idea, and i hate to give you more work gag, would be emailing or posting those who's santas are international. it should be a large enough number that no one will figure out the puzzle and destroy the tinsel veil of secrecy.

I already informed those yobbers who will have to wait longer than what I soooomewhat find acceptable - like, if it ends up mid January, I'd say that's okay and we had several cases of people using really smart alternative solutions to make the delivery time a lot shorter. For those, however, who have no reason to expect anything to arrive anywhere below 30 days of shipping time (plus extra time in customs etc.) I sent emails to inform that it might be delayed and offered a small alternative to make it through the waiting time. However, my assessment of who might or might not have to wait forever is of course quite arbitrary and thus possibly very wrong, for example, I have no idea about how fast or slow shipping happens between the US and Canada. I imagine it being faster than Germany to the US, but I honestly cannot tell. Anyways, if I didn't message you a while ago about potential delays, you weren't among those who I assume to be delayed at least! Except in one case, where I screwed up and forgot to do it, because I am really bad at this

Coordinating these things is surprisingly difficult. I don’t think I went a year where I didn’t screw something up Thank you for doing it gag

Speaking of coordination, I just went through all the things and it looks like everyone is covered! I got some sort of confirmation, receipts, tracking numbers etc. or messages/posts about the gift being on its way from everyone who signed up, one santa already delivered (Derpies and family who had me as santee), so based on that it looks like we have no deadbeats or problems from anyone! Except some delays here and there, but that's fine. I only relayed any kind of information or tracking number, if available, if you specifically told me to, but I have everything sorted on my end either way, so you don't have to worry about it if you provided me something. If gifts now get lost or damaged or something despite everything being sent out, fear not, this year we have two rescue angels on standby to jump in and fill your need for christmas gifts in case anything goes wrong.

My secret Santa got me a forums upgrade to tide me over until my gift arrives somewhere around Janumas, but I will not reveal their identity until the gift arrives! The gift I sent will be on its second leg on Monday, with any luck it'll arrive before the new year! |

drat, that was, uhh. three weeks from Japan? That's quite a fine shipping time! Maybe there is hope after all. Glad the gift made it!! Feel free to poast it all if you'd like! I'm super pumped to hear what ideas you guys came up with and how comparably bad my gift was

I have a beautiful basket of gifts before me: Woh! Such energy!  Words cannot express. So I can just drink it from the can right?  I think I have the beginnings of a posting shrine now.  The Bier is actually superb, very very clean for that kind of hop action. I am drinking it out of a Christmas market mug from 2008, as is the custom.  Thank you thank you thank you mysterious person from Canada. |

I just checked the tracking number for the gift I sent. It has been "In Transit" since December 22, which isn't unreasonable given the time of year. However, it makes me feel a little un-BYOB, because I think my Santee lives like 8 hours away from me, so I could have hand-delivered them in time for Christmas Eve. |

I went out and picked up some packages today, including a very very sweet Secret Santa bundle from the inimitable Fluffie Duckie ! To begin with, this incredibly soft and comfortable shirt which I'm currently wearing, and three bags of jelly bellies (one didn't last the car ride home)  Please forgive the bad composition here, she did not send me glasses or a book about grouting, those were already out.  Next this beautiful mug so that whenever I have my morning tea I will remember to post.  Then an enormous bag of Ghirardellis (but not the butter dish) and....my favorite part....  Two hand-beaded bracelets that are 1000% perfect for my general twee teacher aesthetic! Thank you so much FD! How Wonderful! fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Jan 3, 2021
