Not gonna lie, when I unwrapped and saw "Twilight 2000" I had a moment of panic, but then I saw it was the expansion and got super excited. Emotional rollercoaster!

Well well well, what do we have here? It’s a well taped box! I failed many saving throws of intelligence trying to open it but luckily for me, my overwhelming strength helped out. So what’s inside? First up, we have a a 3d printed Broseidon. He looks familiar? I can’t place him though!  Next up, we see some gummy legos.  I might have to make some sort of Freddy Krueger persons to eat. Finally, a mixture of a spelunker’s last light and a candy cane. I have to say, I’ll light one on fire but I don’t have a lot of hope it’d give me light in a cave. It’s prolly the change in the Twinkie formula but who can say.  Thank you so much, darth pope!

Had some stuff cleared up via emails: -ibntumart already got their bonus round gift, it was posted in the same post as their main round gift. -stuff for tiny chalupa was received but I never saw the imgur image and didn't separate it out and of course we've had some gift posts! Here's what's left. All of these are confirmed shipped, and likely just delayed in transit as happens this time of year: -NTRabbit's -Rhjamiz' -1 part (of three) of LurchinTard's -Cotton Candidasis' ...and that's it! Not too shabby. Crossing my fingers for a few more of these to arrive today and tomorrow.

Alright yeah my family is finally out of my hair more or less and I can focus on this a bit. We have 3 gifts that haven't arrived. All of them were shipped ahead of the deadline, but we're now on the 27th and we have to figure out what to do. Generally what I ask the Santas to do is check with the shipper and/or tracking: if it looks like the gift will be there in the next two or three days, it's best to just wait for that because anything we try to send as a replacement will probably get there afterward anyway. If the original gift isn't likely to arrive before the 1st, or if you can't get any info from the shipper or via tracking, it's time to get a replacement going. If sending an additional gift would be a financial hardship, please let me know and we have generous goons standing by willing to help. Gifts are from Beerdeer, ToyotaThong, and Zero_Grade. I'll send each of you the above via email as well. Santees who didn't get a christmas present are NTRabbit, Rhjamiz, and Cotton Candidasis. I am very sorry to the three of you: I do the best I can with deadlines and stuff, and I know all three of your santas told me shipping info in advance of the deadline, so I don't wanna call them grinches at this point - it's an unfortunately common occurrence with holiday vendors and shippers. e. based on tracking, NTRabbit's gift was shipped on December 6th, and handed over from USPS to international shipping on December 13th which is a long rear end time just to get to a port. That still ought to have been about enough time to get to Australia by now, but I don't know if USPS's tracking can follow a package internationally. The gift for Rhjamiz was sent domestically on December 12th. That ought to have been enough time to arrive by the 19th. I don't have tracking for that one. The gift for Cotton Candidasis was also shipped domestically via UPS on the 12th, again I don't have tracking but it should have been sufficient.

Well, we have one gift to Cotton Candidasis via UPS that was returned to sender with "not at address" so I'm checking with CC before we try to replace it. We have one sent via USPS that is somewhere between the US and Australia. I could send the tracking info if you have some way of getting extra info on that? And we have one gift that just vanished, Santa doesn't have tracking for it but has already sent a replacement.

Santa (and Leperflesh), I'm sorry. I mistyped a digit on my street address in my signup email so this mixup is entirely on me. If I can get my Santa's info at some point when they're comfortable, I'll gladly pay for the excess shipping cost since this is my own dumb fault.

Haha no worries! I was hoping it was something like that actually, sometimes shipping companies just screw up and try to misdeliver a package to the wrong address and then return it. I've had that happen. At least now we can be sure what's up and get you a present.

Package filled to brim with cheer has arrived! Some awesome goblin pirates (or perhaps pirate goblins), fantastic Orc Corsairs Kaptins Blasta Gun arm bits, ever-useful Nuln Oil, and tufts of grass for the bases! I love it all, thank you Santa!

So this is the situation for NTRabbit's gift In all my years of TG Secret Santa I've never seen a priority mail package take that long to transit from port to port.

The regular Clipper from the Americas arrived today, I spoke to the ship's master and apparently they were becalmed for 2 weeks on the way to Sumatra after stopping to trade for spices in Ceylon, hence the delay in reaching me here in the colony.   After a customs feee of one chicken treat it was released to my custody by Junior Customs Officer Bonnie  Holy moly that's a lot of regional seasonal cheer  A souvenir reusable shopping bag with Florida on the front and back and oranges on the sides is only the beginning! A cool standalone slash expansion for Carcassone, nice!  This coffee smells so good  Protein bar looks like a banger too Look Gromit, it is made of cheese! And an excellent addition to the gimmick dice that upset my DM   Lilgrims   Rad spirit animal badges on a massive rad pirate scarf  My gaming is leveled up    Stickers and a safety tag too! I'm glad they didn't lose this package forever, this was amazing, thankyou so much Santagoon Floridaman ToyotaThong!

oooohhhh man I'm glad that finally showed up! geez louise. You've been a saint NTRabbit, your Santa did what they were supposed to and we were just at the mercy of the trade winds apparently. That's the last package left in transit according to my sheet, so I'll leave the thread open for a few more days and then wind things up! Reminder to everyone if you want, you can be on the TGSS mailing list. Every year I send an email with a link to the new thread, BCCed to everyone on the list. That's all it's used for and you can request to be added or removed at any time. Just send an email to the tgsecretsanta address asking to be added and I'll add you!

Hey I just wanna add to everyone that I had a pretty rough holiday season this year for family reasons we don't need to get into but having this thread and this crew to boost my mood was a big bright point in my life. Thank you all of you for participating and keeping the mood happy and light. It's always a lot of work but it's a joyful thing to help make happen and I know that for a few goons, this is their major or only gift exchange each year so it really does matter to some folks quite a lot to have a present to open for christmas. So thanks again. I appreciate you all.

Big  at the Florida Publix bag and assorted state merch they're great bags, I have many. I can't think of anything else to include in a package to represent this very special state besides like, I dunno, a novelty shot glass showing one or more of palm trees/state map/gators.Also, thanks to Leperflesh for once again coordinating everything with tons of follow-up! The names have changed over the years but the community here is still great, and it's nice to be able to share a little cheer with the best tabletop forum around.
