I was pretty impressed with you gifts last year, Lazzaroo!

I received these lovely parcels...

Thank you for the onesie...I recognized Jim Carrey but you'll have to tell me the rest (I assume all are Canadian)



Loved the pins! Is that the famous pee pitcher?

I know it's Drake, but to me, he will always be Jimmy

"Sorry"

And last, but not least, this year's favorite ornament

It wouldn't be you without your puns

Thank you again, hope you all have a Merry Xmas!

Hi, so glad you enjoyed your gifts. Sorry, I'm a little late to respond.

The onesie is Canadian pop icons such as Geddy Lee, Joni Mitchell,Drake, Justin Trudeau, Margaret Atwood, Jim Carey, Sarah Mclachlan, Celine Dion, I think Ryan Reynolds. A few others that I'm not sure who it's supposed to be. I know it doesn't get really cold where you live, but it'll be comfy for lounging in on the cooler days.
I thought the pins were funny...especially the Drake/Jimmy one. The one with milk bag in a jug is a very Ontario thing. I think in Quebec milk is sold in bags too. Anyway, the milk bags started in the 70s when Canada was converting to the metric system and glass bottles were being replaced with plastic jugs and cartons. So, the milk bottlers had to adapt and create a way to contain milk that their existing bottling machines could still use or just be modified a little bit. Dupont Canada came up with the plastic bladders which saved the bottlers a lot of money. If you visit Ontatio, you will see milk sold in bags- So, in each big bag, there are 3 bladders for a total of 4 L. Here's a pic of how it looks like:



Sorry, but I', not going to explain the "sorry" pin. I think you already know it's a Canadian thing..

The Bowie ornament was nice, I thought. They also had Bjork and a few others, but the Bowie looked the best.

Great gifts so far...Perk, your gift to chaos are really nice!

Thanks for explaining the milkbag pitcher. For some reason I thought that it was used when it was so cold to pee outside

I have no doubt that people have used the milk pitchers as pee pitchers.

So as some of you have read on fb i got my parcel yesterday from Birmingham.

I am really really impressed, this is awesome, a lot nicely wrapped little packages, i love it, thanks so much Bandit

So let's start with this:


Next one, two football books, i absolutely love them, you must know how much i am a sucker for football (and football players )

Drumstick pens and a Birmingham calendar with beautiful pics


A lovely card and a cute owl hand warmer

Glad everything made it there, I was a little worried about the ornament.
(the cactus and ornament were made by a local artist, i thought the cactus represented SD well- especially considering the 74 degree Christmas we just had. i figured the book would interest you and even fans of the most evil team in baseball deserve some comfort! )
Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much Farrellgirl99! Received on 12/15 and it’s all awesome! Sorry for the late public post, wife and 3 kids been passing a stomach bug back and forth which has adddd to the normal holiday chaos (and sending out my SS gift)

I got a Neutral Milk Hotel shirt, a Mets winter hat, chocolate and Star Wars socks that I wore to the Last Jedi. Thank you so much! So thoughtful and awesome!

Why is the file too big when I try and post the pic?

I fear my Santa got lost...i am so bummed out.
Sent out on November 23. i don't know how long it can take to reach Chile....??? Any idea?
Receiver is Larry B.
Sorry man!

You're so sweet! I wouldn't necessarily worry too much, it my past experiences it has always taken quite a bit for SS packages to reach me. Donkeys get tired under the head and all that...

It still is crazy season, let's see how the following weeks go by, let's not lose all hope

I have a package waiting for me at the post office! Unfortunately this post office is only open from 9-5.30 and I’m at work so I’ll pick it up Saturday.

Hey Mescal! Not only do I like Christmas presents that are late, I also like it when the box clangs! Thank you so much. I have three (strong) Belgian beers to try and three CD's by Belgain bands to listen too! I've listened to the one by Millionaire today and I am very impressed. I'm a sucker for new music on Spotify and receiving CD's from random bands I've never heard of is great.

I will drink the beer once I shift this Aussie Flu I've had for the last week.

I just realise I left the price on the cd

Rookie mistake

But no harm done, the euro is hardly a real currency anyway.

Great stuff!

Oh goody, goody, it's that time of the year again!!! Christmas!!!!

And look now, what's this under our tree.

A package, and it says: Secret Santa

Secret Santa? Who could that be




Well, let's not wait any longer, let's rip this package open



Let's see, what's in here ...

Ok, so a colouring book for kids, mmmkay, but what might this other thing be



moehahaha, we will soon find out



Another colouring book for kids!!!!!



ok, so what's more, some guitar picks for dad ...



Woooow, and this cool skull bandana for me!!!



Thanks again secret santa, for this gift that kept on giving!

See you all next year!

There was a fucking note telling you that that present was for adults! I really didn't mean for your kids to open that one. God damn it.

I hope you enjoyed the presents. I'm going to show myself off for this one.
