Re: [ASSIGNMENTS GO!] Secret Celestia 7 - Christmas is Minty-Proof!
The worst part is waiting for tracking info to update when it's taking forever to do so and you have no idea what the status might be. And then there's some places where the package gets a new tracking number upon arrival and you never learn of it.

I sent a package awhile ago and a package arrived last week do not fear, secret santa. Turns out it was something else.
No package yet, if it had a tracking number please check it and if it is still on the way that's fine, if it is marked as delivered please notify Perrydotto and she can tell me so I can investigate.

The post office is really busy this time of year so you generally won't see the initial update until it actually gets to the first distribution/relay point. If you drop something after-hours it won't even get touched until the next afternoon when it's actually getting put in line for the trucks.

I've heard from the local post office that it's literally the busiest year they've ever had and they're expecting it to just get more busy tooBig Boss wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2017 5:39 pmThe post office is really busy this time of year so you generally won't see the initial update until it actually gets to the first distribution/relay point.

I'm also gonna be gone on the 24th and 25th, so if it doesn't arrive by Saturday, then I'll have to do my unboxing on Tuesday.

It's always fine if you can't open your package right on Christmas, just be sure to not post about it before the 25th rolls around in your timezone.

Since the postman didn't bring anything today, if something arrives tomorrow, I won't be able to get it until Tuesday.
If I don't see anything by Tuesday, you better have a good excuse.

Apparently this package was sitting on my porch since yesterday and I only noticed it a few minutes ago. Whoops, but I got it now!
Also apparently all you have to do is put this nameless pony on a box and it will magically get to its destination with no postage.

Nothing has arrived here yet, so I can only assume that either the Royal Mail has screwed something up or I'll be looking at a customs charge.

Relaxing, just had Christmas lunch (pancakes) and we're all sitting around outisde in the sun doing nothing until dinner. No package has arrived yet, I thought it had but it was for something else when I opened it up yesdterday on Christmas eve. I guess it'll be delivered in the next week sometime.
Someone else gets to post first this year.

Re: Secret Celestia 7 - Christmas is Minty-Proof!
So last year, I had Durandal as my Secret Santa. He and Princess Spaceship sent me all sorts of goodies that I cherish. It was sweet.
Why am I bringing up last year's Secret Celestia? Because my Secret Santa this year is...Durandal, again! I think this may be the first time this happened.
So what did I get this year?

Mr. Big gets the honor of the first post
Also sorry that you got a repeat gifter, but since we had less signups this year it was trickier to avoid. The stuff you got still rules

Re: Secret Celestia 7 - Christmas is Minty-Proof!
Alright, I already opened these up late last night along with the other presents my wife and me got eachother, I just withheld from posting until this morning.
So I got three mystery packages from three different sources. Only one of them hinted at who my Secret Celestia might be though.
I covered up the addresses for privacy reasons, of course.
That first envelope contained the Fuzzy Princess christmas issue, as well as a nice card, which kind of confirmed my suspicions even before reading it(Leo helped inspect), and the Amazon package contained something wrapped up too.
The wrapped Amazon gift turned out to be a Phoebe and her Unicorn book, and the third package contained a car! Well, a model of one anyway. It's a Fujimi Mazda RX-7, which is pretty dang awesome.
So by now most of you will have also figured out that my Secret Celestia this year was Mr Big. Thanks ever so much for some wonderful gifts .

Re: Secret Celestia 7 - Christmas is Minty-Proof!
So I received three packages this year, from two separate super awesome gifters
The first was the one I had to open in a rush around the 8th of the month to make sure nothing inside was soaked...
But that wasn't the end of my gifts, and I have a sneaking suspicion the second Santa saw the posts about the first package getting wet, the second two were completely wrapped in plastic to make sure they couldn't get damaged if they got wet... and it saved the larger one from getting damp
This was wonderful and you're wonderful, TheGECK and my other santa, who I have no idea who they are, unless I missed a hint somewhere.
Also, bonus Toothless enjoying a box

Re: Secret Celestia 7 - Christmas is Minty-Proof!
Speaking of comics, the package also included what is probably the first "Fuzzy Princess" fanfic ever!
Glad you liked everything! There would have been more pony emotes in that package but as I said, I lost them!
Oh wait, here they are

Re: Secret Celestia 7 - Christmas is Minty-Proof!
Well, it's finally properly time to get into that package I received so long ago. What's inside?
So far, some pretty gift bags!
This was the note on the bag. But I'm pretty sure the bags aren't the gift, despite being pretty, so let's look in them.
It's two of the Splatoon 2 amiibo! And holy shit, they're imported from Japan! Thankfully amiibo aren't region-locked, so I can use these just the same.
If this gift came with a clue as to who my Santa was, I haven't yet found it. But whoever you are, thank you!

Re: Secret Celestia 7 - Christmas is Minty-Proof!
Had a minor scare this morning when I couldn't find one of the packages
Fortunately I found it after overlooking it for like half an hour lol
ANYWAY!!
Jeeze
The different packages threw me for a loop: two of them were from the UK, the other one from a wholly other place.
I saw the trailer of the Netflix adaptation not too long ago and it looked intriguing! Good timing to as I ran out of stuff to read.
The MLP Movie artbook is gorgeous
This is really neat and cute!!
Okay so if you hadn't guessed where all this has come from this should provide some clues.
HMMMMMMMM
Thanks drunkill
Merry Christmas to you too!!

Re: Secret Celestia 7 - Christmas is Minty-Proof!
Hooray! I hope you enjoy it all.
I included some extra paper so you could replace the paper art in the future if you wished, it was my first attempt and some of the cuts were done with a half-blunt blade so it is a little messy.
Enjoy the books and don't forget to perform a 'tim tam slam' while drinking coffee, tea or milk, try it with the normal ones.

Re: Secret Celestia 7 - Christmas is Minty-Proof!
Secret Celestia time!
I am honestly baffled who my Santa is. With the old forums gone, I can't cheat and go look though previous years lists for clues. And the box has a return address from Texas, but the written return label on the box is from Adams, MA. My first guess would be Big Boss, since he's the only one I know from the Berkshires.
But onto the gifts. First up, the most confusing letter I have ever gotten.
After many forwards and backwards, I got through it. It revealed my gifts...
A book of Doctor Who philosophy and some bad? movies (and a Monty Python film). I'm moving this week, so it will be a while before I watch those movies, but I will poke through that book during my time off from work.
My Secret Celestia recommends paintube for them, and two of them do look quite awful.
Thanks a lot whoever you are (please identify yourself )!

I was worried I'd mess up sending the model and the "Phoebe" book since I had them sent directly from the stores, so I'm glad they got there safe!
