I am going to personally. After all, it will be cool for all of us to post Christmas afternoon when all the hoopla dies down.

That's what I'm gonna do. If I opened it too early, Santa might put me on his naughty list.

Opethian · 12/08/2010, 06:53 PM

NecroPhile · 12/10/2010, 10:10 AM

Mine went out Tuesday. Go reindeer, GO!

Mathius · 12/10/2010, 01:41 PM

Mine went out today via USPS First Class. It didn't weigh enough to qualify for Priority, but the clerk assured me that it would get to its destination by Christmas Day.

finerion · 12/10/2010, 04:51 PM

Just got my SS package today. Can't wait to open it Xmas.

Opethian · 12/11/2010, 08:07 PM

Quote from: hoobs88 on 12/06/2010, 08:18 PMMy "Secret" Santa gift arrived on Friday
I recognized the return address label so I know who it is from

hoobs88 · 12/13/2010, 08:06 PM

Have the random winners for the Turbo Legacy Poster and Roy's gift been selected yet? If not, when is the drawing?

BlueBMW · 12/13/2010, 09:36 PM

I seem to have received TWO wrapped items today from two different people.... Either someone's tryin to be nice.... or someone's made a mistake!

Hopefully its the former situation.

Duo_R · 12/13/2010, 10:10 PM

Well I figured it out. It seems that pcenginefx is just a well spring for generosity!

Yep, but y'all will have to wait until the extra goodies reach their homes to find out who the winners are.

Only one of those people was given your contact info. by me.

JoshTurboTrollX · 12/14/2010, 01:58 PM

got one in the mail over the weekendler, I didn't recognize the name of the sender (Trent), and I have stuff on the way via other online sites for xmas, so I opened it. I noticed some jewel CD's and one piece of notebook paper.... I quickly closed it and wrapped the box up. I'm about 80% sure this is my secret Santa gift, and there is NO WAY I'm opening it before xmas!!!

LMAO!!! THANK YOU TRENT!! I'll post on xmas day with what is in the magical box of giving!!

bartre · 12/14/2010, 09:24 PM

yeah, similar story here, didn't recognize the addy, so i opened it, and BAM
Neutopia.

not disappointed at all, but a little sad that i didn't get to open it for x-mas.

on a related note, i FINALLY got my shit mailed!

Duo_R · 12/14/2010, 09:27 PM

Looks like the elves ran out of wrapping paper this year.

finerion · 12/14/2010, 09:29 PM

My wife insisted on wrapping mine before I packed it so my gift recipient shouldn't have a problem.

Duo_R · 12/14/2010, 09:32 PM

Lol my wife did the same. If I was single it probably would come in a Safeway bag.

finerion · 12/14/2010, 09:34 PM

Yeah, my son is getting old enough to start understanding Christmas and so my wife is having a great time Christmasfying everything. Alas, it cuts into my gaming budget pretty hard.

BlueBMW · 12/14/2010, 09:42 PM

I'm single, but I still wrapped my SS gift/s!

Bachelor wrap job FTW!

NecroPhile · 12/15/2010, 09:11 AM

Dangnabbit! I forgot to wrap up my gifts with fancy Henler poster wrapping paper, but the shipping label should give it away as a Turbob Christmas gift.

finerion · 12/15/2010, 12:12 PM

I'm still trying to figure out who my Secret Santa is. Didn't give many clues, just a return address of Knoxville, TN.

And no one on the forums that I have found has that listed in their profile. I'm afraid that I was not secretive with my present. Its got my name, a signed Christmas card, and my forum id all included. I suck at Secret Santa.

blueraven · 12/15/2010, 02:38 PM

I wrapped the gift in a printout of 'enry's poster that was actually recycled from a Necromancer freebie

JoshTurboTrollX · 12/15/2010, 08:33 PM

wrapped the goods and shipped 'em out today. Should arrive just in time for the Holidays!

RoyVegas · 12/15/2010, 10:57 PM

The second secret santa gift is all boxed up and ready to be sent out tomorrow. Who will be the one to receive gifts from two santas? Time will tell...

Opethian · 12/16/2010, 08:39 AM

I knew I should have wrapped mine in turbob paper and dinged up manuals. next year will be different!

nectarsis · 12/16/2010, 01:28 PM

I got mine in today...99% sure I know who it is LOL.

blueraven · 12/16/2010, 06:01 PM

My Secret Santa gift will be re-sent the day it arrives from classicgamesource, hoping that day is today *crosses fingers*.

rag-time4 · 12/16/2010, 10:46 PM

I've received my package from Santa! Apparently he has a sense of humor!!

....

Hopefully there aren't too many games inside...

NecroPhile · 12/17/2010, 09:15 AM

Santa's package arrived! Now I just need to figure out who it is.

Considering you picked them all, I imagine the challenge shouldn't be all that hard.

Mathius · 12/17/2010, 12:47 PM

I guess I don't really know how Secret Santa is supposed to work. I put my real name and forum name on the package. Oops.

It doesn't really matter much, it's a small community and it's not very hard to figure out who it came from anyway.

NecroPhile · 12/17/2010, 01:08 PM

Yeah, I wasn't too sneaky with mine either - the shipping label gives me away.

It's really the safe thing to do anyway. What else would you do? Not put your return info on it? Then if anything goes wrong with the shipping, it's lost in space.... Not good...

Mathius · 12/17/2010, 01:16 PM

I don't feel as bad now.

True, but I could've just put my address on there.

rag-time4 · 12/17/2010, 10:31 PM

My package was sent by someone named "PC-EngineFX"...

I think I'm going to have to put my real name when I finally send out my gift.

henrycsc · 12/18/2010, 10:53 PM

Mine arrived last week from "Secret Santa".
There are a lot of members from IL, so I'm clueless as to who it is.

But thanks!

They are taunting me, but I will wait til TurboGrafXmas Time.
