Omg yay, it made it there alive :DDDD

I actually meant to include a whole note about how Lohengrin is the classiest of our classic chocolate bars. It was designed by the architect behind Oslo National Theatre and a bunch of other pretty buildings in Oslo. It was first sold at the Norwegian Opera when they performed the Wagner opera by the same name. Classy stufffff.

So today at work, the mailman oddly came back like 2 hours after he delivered and handed me a box. I saw my name and wondered "wtf did I order that would be this size...?"

Then I flipped over and saw the name on the return address!

Tufftyyyyyyyyyyyyy  :jphip:



The snowman is so cute I almost don't want to eat it! I started on the chocolate coins though  :thumbsup

Thanks!!


Also...

Dear Secret Santa,

I have still not mailed your gift.
I had an ear infection all last week and assumed you would not want that mailed to you.
In apology, I will likely purchase more items for you.

Love,
Me

Yay, I was worried not to know if it had arrived since I sent it on the 12th december or so  :shocked

Sorry I didn't sign it, I wasn't too sure about whether it was supposed to be signed so I decided to go anonymous this tme  :ph43r:

EDIT: Mine hasn't arrived yet  :(

^ It's really up to you whether your victim recipient finds out who sent the gift. However, I'm sure everyone wants to thank their Secret Santa.

So I had a really good day today. I saw Tintin with a friend I haven't seen in more than half a year. I was meant to have my passport interview, but then it looked like I wouldn't be able to until Monday, but I was then saved by my local post office, which let me have my interview and submit my application on the spot.

To top it all off, however, was this (not to mention my roleplaying dice set which also arrived today):


I love it! Thanks Beardbro Amp!!! :rock: I haven't had Pez since I was a kid, more than 7 years ago. I had a monkey head dispenser when I was little :monkey: I've already started on the lollies (AKA candy) you've sent! Delicious :lick:

The Crackstaff Bible takes the cake and throws another one in the oven. My level of imagination would never have come up with something like this, which is why you're a Crackstaffer :pimp: As I trust my fellow hipstaz, I'm willing to reveal the holy word of our forum:


I was thrown off by the lack of beard, unless what I think is the top of the shirt is actually a beard. Unless... it's not actually Santa :panic: SANTA IS REAL, OKAY.

The AKBar pin is pretty impressive, I've gotta say :thumbup

The comic's cool but has awful jokes in it XD

Thanks a lot, brother!! You surely deliver ;)

Dear Secret Santa Recipient,

I finally got off my ass and mailed your package.

The line at the post office was literally out the door.

I was about to give up when the kindly postal lady said she would just take it and scan the customs forms since I had already paid for postage at work.

You should receive it in a week or so.

There is a special "Sorry it's so late" surprise in there.

Love,

Me

PS - Tuffty, I completely forgot about your chocolates and recently discovered the box when I was cleaning and now I am very excited again XD

Got my candy and a letter from pika today!


He even warned me to pace myself. :lol: So far I've tried the Jaffa Cakes (They aren't joking when they say, "zingy orange center"), Milkybar, and Dairy Milk. All good stuff so far. Thanks Pika! :cow:

I sent my letter yesterday. I had to make sure everything was just right. Sorry I took so long, penpal.

Received something in the post today, and I realised it was from my Santa Penpal. Turns out it was arun.yothin! And boy, was it worth the wait. I just have to show off this fucking awesome drawing he made in all it's glory:



Mate I genuinely appreciate the time and effort you took to make it, it's awesome, I love it. Also appreciate the kind words, it made me proud to be a hipster.  :jphip:

So they say good things come to those who wait...:)


Came home today to find a USPS package had arrived. Probably due to my slight mental fatigue after having dealt with around 150 or so students today, but when I first saw it, I was totally :pig huh:.

At first I thought to myself "Ah, the thing I ordered is here." :)

But then I realized..."Wait, I haven't ordered/bought anything online in a long time." 
:mon huh2:


So I open it, reach inside, and out comes...a pink stocking.  :O





...






:?





Wait a sec...





Pink?  Stocking?





:w00t:


* JFC hurredly reaches into the pink stocking...



Kita, kita, KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!


And not only was there chocolate (mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Ghirardelli peppermint...:drool: )

but...





there was MIKI-SCHWAG!!!  :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:

She may have been late in mailing out the package, but almond knows that Miki-schwag makes up for it in spades!  :cow:

Oh and almond, you're lucky that I took these pics right away. I've already downed the milk chocolate bar and I'm a quarter of the way through the dark chocolate one. :lol:  :nervous


I then noticed that there was yet something else in the USPS package...



:confused:



Well, considering the uber-detailed instructions written on it ( :P ), and considering that I had already opened everything else, went ahead and opened 'er up.







* JFC gasps







It was just.....so.......beautiful!!!
 :k-inlove: :mon crazyinlove: :gmon tears: :gmon love2: :gmon twirl: :sashiko: :luvluv1: :k-inlove: :hipheart: :on gay: :k-thrilled: :aimonkey: :mon lovelaff: :gmon sing: :rikapunny



Even though it doesn't sound like it's enough, thank you almond. Thank you for the chocolate. Thank you for the letter. Thank you for the Miki-schwag. Thank you for reminding me that I'm still a H!Pstah not just because this is a cool place to hang out and "shoot the shit" with people, but rather, I'm still a H!Pstah because of the love of the JPH!P family.
