| I'm incredibly envious of the Squirtle Plush My Secret Santa got me The Taskmaster Card Game which I've held of buying because I had a hunch I'd end up with it for Christmas from somewhere and a Jaffa Tree which is absolutely one of the top 5 types of tree. |

| Lovely chocolate there, only slightly spoiled by the use of the cursed word 'jonuts'. Wallopermas has been and gone. Do we reveal who we sent to, or are we waiting for Andy to post what he got some time in February? |

| Not to mention jonuts are pretty poor when compared to jaffa cakes & normal donuts. |

| Sorry it's me, I'm late, but I've been seperated from my gifts and PCs in various parts and still have managed to fail to have it all together to post a photo
I received: A Taylor Swift Colouring book A dungeons and Dragons themed card game (that plays a bit like a light King of Tokyo for the board game heads) some sweets
Thanks Santa, much appreciated |

| - I was the Secret Santa for...:
Balladeer! I briefly looked at a few different Switch games instead of the soft toy, but changed my mind when I saw your updated Elfster wishlist. There were four new Christmas Pokemon plushes that came out earlier in the year so one of those was the obvious thing to buy. Squirtle was the one that looked ‘least Christmassy’ and so I thought there’d be a better chance of you not being sick of the sight of it by mid-January. I saw that you’d asked for ‘plastic tat’ and ‘reading tat’ and I had stuff lined up to give you, but in all truth I thought the sweets were much nicer. The ‘tat’ was very definitely tat that I think you’d have quite rightly put in the bin. I’m not sure how easy it is to get Gordon and Durward sweets in England, but I think it’s likely that you don’t have many opportunities to have macaroon, tablet or gaelic fudge - hope you enjoy them for yourself or in sharing them with others. I think that might have been my last NGamer DVD to gift away. It’s the end of a Secret Santa era

Andy who was super hard to get for as he's played like everything but knowing he loves Swifty and BGIII this year (along with board games in general from GGS chat) those buys made sense. Plus I just liked the name colouring in the blank space.
I was panicking he never got after it said receptionist signed for them and no post on here.

...Buska's Santa!
There were actually meant to be three presents. In early December when I dived into Bezos' Shop of Horrors for them, I got two e-mails back telling me that two of them couldn't be delivered and if I didn't call them up they'd go back to source. I wasn't going to call these people with my non-existent anime Japanese! I had no idea if this was because Buska was out on a trip with his girlfriend and couldn't pick them up, or if I'd got the address formatted wrong: the Amazon address form didn't line up with the Elfster address exactly. I was pretty darn concerned at that point.
So, big sigh of relief when you revealed on here that you'd got the third, and I'm glad you liked it! It was the biggest of the three at least.
- My Santa:
Even if anybody else here was going to give me Scottish fudge, tablet et al., nobody else was sending over that DVD. Thanks Cappa! I imagined it must be a wrench for you not to send out a game, but you absolutely made the right choice for me. Chuffed with my haul!

| - It's me, hi, I got...:
Treesmurf, it's me! Sorry for the address confusion. I was panicking as I could see everyone elses address but not yours. I'm not sure if it was because they all had wishlists or what, but the mobile version of the site refused to yield it, then when I requested the desktop version it handily gave me the mobile version again... Remember to check the address before you leave home kids
- Dear Santa:
Sorry for not confirming, I think I just left it at the concierge for days as I wasn't really around. I do own almost all games, so yeah always happy to receive something fun like that so good picks I'd say. Thanks again!

Cappa! Believe or not I somehow managed to stay within budget, admittedly I cheated a little with Hotline Miami as I reduced the price with my Game Collection points but in fairness I wouldn't have had them points without your help. Boogie was my attempt to find a decent charity shop haul and at £1 for something that wasn't a Fifa game I think I did quite well. The silver medal was a good natured rib in reference to my Fantasy League victory and the Socks and Pac were reduced to such a good price I even bought some for myself.

| ...is that it then? We can deduce who Buska's Santee was, so I guess it's time to say a big thanks to Cappa for continuing to run these tirelessly year-on-year. |

| Yes big thanks again to the big man, this is always one of the highlights of my Christmas from both the giving and receiving of presents and of course the sharing on the forum. |

Ah, apologies. I did get the message that there were delivery mixups, but I was receoving a lot of amazon packages that month, between stuff I ordered and presents from you and family, so I didn't realise they weren't among the ones that arrived. Goji was cool by itself, though I showed it to some Godzilla-obsessed students and have been corrected. Rather than the original 1954 Godzilla, it is actually the 1955 Godzilla Raids Again Godzilla. |

| I'm glad you liked what you got anyway. Before things kick off next time I'll have to figure out where I went wrong, because it sounds like you did get most of the other stuff! |
