i couldn't even send my christmas target a gift box because at latvian post they force you to open package and have post officer examine everything you are sending, sometimes even asking receipts so they know how accurate is the figure you write on the parcel worth declaration

cutting out the middle man and having the store ship it to the santee directly vs. shipping to yourself and repacking and shipping again

cmon guys animei was right there

also i'm not so sure about this "anime equals a drawing of something i don't like" rule; maining mei should be bannable all by itself

i'm not normally into these things but this one's pretty fitting so there it standsteeters uneasily

it is wise and good to be thankful to santa

with you arguing for your own ban the case is clear, i think :colbert:

there's some non-zero chance your main gift won't make it past the mounties, and amazon.ca hates jesus and won't christmas wrap gifts for some reason. this was the only way to not pay another additional $50 in shipping to cross that border.

well sheeeeit. maybe worth putting that in your "instructions to santa" next year if that's how you want to roll. you should have two more packages coming. one more amazon... tomorrow? and then a usps box whenever the drug-spotting moose is done sniffing it your gifts

edit: apparently some, not all, of your gifts will be arriving

I got some of them. Will post in the am. Took some pictures and have a question.

Edit: And away we go:

Yesterday, I came home and the babysitter said she had to sign for something. Or that someone knocked. I dont remember. Either-way, this was waiting for me:



I literally knew EXACTLY who sent it, look at that tape!



I wonder what could be inside?

Whoa look at this amazing card!


It's literally the first card going on our 'x-mas cards from friends and family string', cause we have none. Also, metal dangly bits on a card? I've literally never seen that before because everyone around here pays $300 for family pictures then uses shutterfly or some poo poo to mail postcards to the same address book as last year in like 5 clicks.

And inside:



Wife: Who's this mushroom person from Latvia?
Me: The internet!

Let's open those boxes and see what we got!



Holy poo poo. My boys will love this. No lie, they're both lego fiends. Here's my question for you santa, can I wrap them up again and put them under the tree for them for Christmas morning? Or do you want them to play/make them now?

Also, my youngest really digs the dog toy, the dog.... we're showing him how it works but he's 11 and is lazy af now.

Here he is thinking the doggie toy is food:

glad to hear i managed a decent gift for the kids and the doggo is in a good mood regardless

feel free to wrap the stuff - i would've done that myself, but our mail offices are pita about international stuff so i had to keep the package as open as possible

i hope the rest finds its way to you in time for christmas
