Rockzilla posted:Hey! Guess what showed up this morning! A box from you with some crushed (but still awesome) pecan rosemary shortbreads, homemade beef jerky, some Stroopwaffels from the Netherlands and some Trader Joe's goodies. I don't know if you knew this, but TJ's stuff is pretty hard to come by here, I think there's a store that sells it somewhere in town, but that may be a Canadian urban legend. I also don't know how you knew about my love of cookie butter, I make it a point to stock up every time I'm in the states so I'm beyond stoked to have another jar to add to my stash. Thanks for the awesome haul anti femi nazi! Yay! Glad you got it / like it.

I got a box today! From...North Carolina? There were things in the box! Scandinavian things!  like napkins, and a bread bag!  and apricot & brandy chocolate covered candies! And licorice candies! One with habanero! (apologies for the blurry picture, not sure why this one was so unsteady.)  and some sort of juice you dilute with water, little dark chocolate sheet/wafers, and rose hip, Æble (which google translate tells me is apple!) and elderflower marmalade! And tiny flags! Thank you so much Happy Hat, you're the best! I'm slightly glad I didn't, but at the same time kinda wish I'd gotten, those salty licorice candies I've heard of. Everything else I tried was really good though! Even if I'm not big on licorice really. The little wafers are especially nice, little bites of chocolate.  The fleece blanket was a present from my mom, just for anyone curious. AND IT MAY BE A SECRET MESSAGE TO HAT.

Santee's gift was sent off to Europe on the 22nd but hasn't posted yet. My gift was received and is somewhere in my corporate mail system still because my office is an odd one and someone's head exploded. I am the worst participant of this whole program right now.

It looks like there was some confusion at work and the package I thought was going to be from santa was from a vendor.

I've been a really shameful Santee for not posting about how much I've been enjoying this plethora of Japanese snacks that I received over a month ago. I can't find the note that my Santa included, and I can't remember their name. Whoops! It's been great. I just broke into the burnt sugar-flavored hard candies and they are off the hook. The green tea KitKats were great too, as were the tomato basil Pocky (or Pocky-like snack sticks). My girlfriend has been enjoying them all as well. Thanks Santa!

Whew, found the letter. Echeveria sent me a package! The pumpkin spice snickerdoodles were quickly devoured by my girlfriend, and I enjoyed the various canadian chocolates included. Some spices were also included and "mild chipotle" may work well since I've been trying to wean her on spiciness so I don't have told back so much when I cook. Thanks Santa Echeveria (and sorry for the post delay!). I would post a picture but there isn't much left. We didn't hold back.

Did the cookies get smashed? They were pretty soft. I use the mild chili powder in my chili, with some chipotle in adobo. It's quite mild and very delicious. I was going to send the hot, but I wasn't sure how into spice you are.

They were smashed a bit but that didn't stop anyone. I love spicy, but she doesn't, so it's a good compliment to what I have already. Thanks!

Welp, since in postal terms January is now over I'm going to assume I've been grinched again. Since this is now 3 times in 4 years (and 3 for 6 overall) between GWSSS and my other culinary one I think I might have learned my lesson :p Cheers to the vast majority of people who do this right and make it overall a great experience though and to Bart for doing all the work.

Fess up time. I emailed Bart last night, but Toast, I am your Santa. I sent out a bunch of awesome stuff: Local Farmer's Market goods, Texas Beers, Dried chilies, etc... on Dec 28th. Unfortunately, when I searched my email for Bart's email with the info, I pulled up the info for the person from the LAST GWSS that I participated in, which I didn't realize until I saw Bart's latest email asking for a status. So, a certain other goon got some great stuff! I will be sending out another package to you early next week after I have had a chance to go rebuy all of the stuff. I am SO sorry Toast, completely my fault. Doom Rooster fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Feb 2, 2015 |

All hail Phaxtor, Grinch Extraordinaire.  If anyone is interested in picking up his copious slack so oxyrosis can have a proper Christmas in February, feel free to email or PM me. As far as I know, this is the only confirmed grinching. A couple of other people haven't received anything, but their santas have been communicative and I'm inclined to indulge them for a little while yet. Not long, though. If you haven't received anything and haven't gotten an update from me or your santa, send me a PM or email to remind me. It's been...interesting around here lately and I may have missed something somewhere.

God dammit. Phaxtor was my Santee and I sent him some pretty good poo poo, with no feedback at all. Get a load of what he wrote in his signup:quote:If your Target had any words for Santa (that's you!), they will be below this line and before my closing sentence(s).
