Thanks I really enjoyed my gift. Amazon took forever to get my items for my person and I hope they get it before Christmas. USPS said there was a chance...

SHoddyCOmp, I'm curious, why do you make so many posts in this thread? :)

:p UUuuuhhhhhh...I dunno. Really. But this post is your fault - heh.
Ok okay! I admit, I'm a post whore! Ooh noes! :D
I guess it's kinda just a fun thread and not too entirely active so my frequency of posts compared to others may be a 'wee bit' higher...;)

w00000t!! My gift kicks so much ass! My SS got me FOTR Extended DVD Edition even though I didn't wish for it. Somehow he got someone else's wishlist, but damn it still rocks!

Thanks sooo much Ameesh:):):)

I feel bad, and really hope whoever my Secret Santa was didn't spend too much on this, got crazy discounts, or got it all for free, since it looks pretty expensive. 10 bucks for the shirt, 20 for the book, i dunno, 50 for the bag, 30 for the game, 15 for shipping....damn.

Oh, and to whoever my Secret Santa was, sorry for not getting a wishlist. PAB decided to look at my PMs from N8Magic, without informing me that I was requested to make a wishlist. Therefore, by the time I saw it (yesterday), I didn't get it on time. :(

I hope you enjoy all of it, if PAB hasnt already told you, I am your ATOT Secret Santa :)
And just so you know, Eskimo Joe's T-shirts are really fun to wear, you meet all sorts of people who have heard of the bar and the T-Shirts. :)

BTW, I did get a message from N8Magic about my Secret Santa:

"tell sluggo I special ordered his gift, and I am waiting for it to be manufactured and get shipped, I've also ordered him something else, it is backordered from amazon, should get there in about 2 weeks."

So sounds sweet, I love late Christmas presents, extends the season a bit :)

My secret santa is Mr-Many-Posts-In-This-Thread aka SHoddyCOmp. I hope he enjoys the loot I got him.

/me sits here and wonders if anyone sent him anything, since he cant quite check his mailbox at home ...

I sent my gifts on the 18th, and they should have been received on the 19th.

I won't return to Atlanta until after the New Year, so I have no idea if I have received anything.

I feel bad. I shipped mine on the 19th and it still isn't there yet. Darn USPS. Oh well, I guess I wasn't the only one as I haven't gotten anything either. Hope my SS likes his gift. I kinda cheated on it. Shipping was like 8 bucks so I spent around 32 bucks. Not bad. :D

To: N8Magic,

Bro, Thank you for all your hard work and effort towards this Christmas. You did a great job, and have my respect and admiration. It is nice to be able to participate in a community such as this. This would not have been possible without people such as yourself, organizing and helping us along. Otherwise, we would just be a group of users on the internet instead of a community, as we are logged on here. I believe I have even made a friend here now. Noone could ask for a better Christmas present than that. If you ever need anything, I am at your service.

Sincerely and with Christmas cheer, Doug
