Cheers, @mintbucket!
Where to begin. Secret Santa this year has been different on my end cause I’ve barely been home since the 2022 version kicked off. Usually I’ve read every post by my giftee within 72hrs of receipt of name, and I’ve got something planned out. This year has just been different. I struggled. When someone’s notes say “don’t stress about a gift,” well I fucking stress more.
@lazyjk unsure if you did it on purpose, but somehow I got paired with @Jrembold this year. I kept coming back to his fandom of the Cubs, and the collage/print of past players sports cards was something that I just thought was cool. A conversation piece, if you will. I hope you enjoy it man. Shipping said just in time for Christmas, so I went straight to delivery to avoid the roast. Take this as the note.
That being said, dude, you crushed it. 1) you’ve got awesome penmanship. Little weird, but something I appreciate. 2) the note and reasons behind the gifts was awesome. 3) Kudos to your sleuthing and thoughtfulness. Appreciate this community more and more every year.
Travel mug with the UT/Bama score from this year on it. Enjoyed storming the field and realizing how cool it felt to not have your team always let you down. Buck Fama. Something to remember the good times.
Bottle of Elijah Craig, one of my constant daily drinkers. Something to forget the bad times.
3# bag of assorted taffy. Something from our only interaction on the Refuge, prior to SS22.
Didn’t realize we were quite literally exchanging gifts! I’ve already placed the poster around the house to see how publicly I can get away with hanging it lol. Glad everything got to you safely!
@DivotPatterns I told you I could write!
Haha - the randomizer 2.0 only checks to make sure somebody didn’t get paired with themselves (an occurrence with the 1.0 version).
Glad to see you both knocked it out of the park for each other!
To my recipient.
Things are dire. Emails and DMs to the seller continue to go unanswered. Internal debate is underway on when/if I contact AmEx to cancel/refund the order.
I have some of the overall package ready to go, but not everything due to this issue.
It’s 6 days to Christmas and all I can think is wtf Saskatoon.
Not to victim shame, but what did you expect? This is how they dress for football games:
Not a global political scholar BUT I believe per Canadian law as the buyer if you reach out and request ‘What’s the deal buddy?’
And they respond back with ‘Sorry friend…’ anything after said statement is protected by the RCMP.
Which means your recourse is to then request payment in the form of maple syrup from their syrup reserve.
@Sarah MIGHT need to fact check me here though…
This is when secret santa turns into secret valentines when shit gets that delayed
@JScore out here playing 4D chess and edging people till Valentines Day.
Truly a sickos sicko…
Come on @JScore
And get this man (or woman) a damn Christmas gift. It’s embarrassing.
Just kidding. Love you.
Package is secure, waiting for UPS to pick it up. I (my company) splurged for the 2nd Day Air, so I hope it gets to the right place.
Look at you, big shoots!
Just dropped off The Package at UPS, it will be traveling ground and should arrive comfortably in that “will it be here for Christmas morning or not” window.
Mine was all set to be at the post office Friday, but my wife surprised me and took the day off and all my plans for the day got sidetracked.
Will get in the mail today/tomorrow though
Was just about to come and say something similar
