Your package was received just in time! Thanks a lot, I was getting worried. See you Christmas morning :^)
>>135145514
January 4th 05:38?

Bingo.
Stay vigilant.

>>135145651
Cool now fuck off. Nobody is sending you cards because you can buy your own firewood
Thank youBCfromMA! I got your card yesterday and it really made my day. The gochiusas look very cute and festive. I saw you sent anothergrillthe same request in the last thread,but I'm okay with sharing
>>135145651
oh yes, it's only the one card and not the constant complaining about it
>>135145651
>send out shitty half assed gifts
>complain a lot online
>be an ungrateful asshole
Sounds like sweet justice for a card burning tripfag.
>>135143906
Glad you like it ,anon. I didn't expect it would be that hard to make the penguin cap into a reindeer, it looked so much better in my head. Have a merry Christmas.
By now I seriously hope everyone has gotten their CD cards.
Thank youBMfromPH
Loved the stuff you sent. Imoutos love the food and the ''penguin girl'' on the shirt. The katanagatari stuff was lovely. Did you print those shirts yourself?
>>135146299
And then we have this strange Voodoo statue thing hidden in the corner of the box...
>>135146343T-thanks anon.
>>135146381
At least is not aChileanversion
>>135145651
soda isn't an awesome gift, fatass
>>135146508
I used to have a canadian one like that,it was made out of beer caps

>>135146601
Just sign up early. You can always sign up as soon as the threads start popping up, and then if you don't like your wishlist before the signups end, you can send them an email, and they'll update it.
>>135146664
A lot of Europoor countries traditionally open them on the 24th, and it's the 24th there now. It's only like the Britbongs and Americlaps that open on the 25th.
ToDMfromTX
I got your package in the mail today. Is it safe to open (meaning the presents are wrapped) or should I just leave it be?
Please forgive the crappy pic. My camera's been acting up lately.
>>135134514
Glad the Kumiko card made it to you.
And yeah, I've gotten comments about my girls being too healthy before. It's becoming a habit.
That aside, have a wonderful kurisumasu.
>>135146664Some people have to work over the holidays.
>>135146775
And you wonder why everyone calls you a cunt.
>>135145452
I'll just take Sena.
>>135146775
Fuck off
>>135146775
Do you make it a mission to piss off people during Christm/a/s?

ITT: Muslims
MB from DE: Glad to see the gifts got there. The tube is safe to open (it's food!), the others can wait.
AZ from GA: I sent your card on Monday, but it's been sitting in the sorting facility since then. I fear it won't get there before Christmas, but it's on its way.
Remember: In Japan, Christmas is only the 24th.
Looks like I'm 1/2 for cards and 1/1 for gifts this year. A 33% grinch rate isn't so bad, considering it's 4chan.
Merry Christmas everyone.
MDfromUK, Englandpick up the damn gift from postal office already!
Though I doubt they will be open for more than few hours on eve. So I guess my /ss/ died.
>>135146991
No idea how you knew my favorite cookie but thanks! A little shaken up from the trip but basically fine. Was happy hearing your own gifts came in, it looks like you went all out for me.
>>135147786
No problem! Glad you like 'em. Make sure to save some for Christmas morning so you can stir cocoa or coffee with them! Your address threw me for a loop at first until I looked up the zoning for Delaware. Your state is weird.
>>135147574
>counting cards at the same levels of gifts for grinching
You're a cunt anon.
>>135148046
Yeah, I count it as grinching when the person could literally fold a piece of paper in half and write "Your taste in anime is shit" and mail it it for $0.50 but decides it's too much effort.
IsMailbox WorldfromCAone of you guys?
>>135148304
Just open it.
RDofCA
Uhhh
>>135148585
Shouldn't have opened it early man. Now the presents have escaped and it's really hard to get them back.
>>135148585
What the hell, did a dog open that for you?
>>135148585
What did just happen here
>>135146263
I haven't. I think you send one to me, I amHGfromMexico
>>135148585

Somebody post my fucking card already
>>135148812
>he didn't take pictures of his card so he could post it even if the recipient doesn't!
Rookie mistake.
>>135145651
What are your initials again?
>>135148585
what happen? are gift still inside?
>>135148585
Next time make sure to fill it with shit and see who opens it.
>>135146299
Glad you liked my gifts! I was seriously scared you'd dislike them since they're not really close to the things you wanted in your wishlist. And no, I didn't. I would've if I could though for the additional homemade feel.
>>135148773
>>135149129
>>135148712I'm acting as a proxy for an anon who was shipped off to the navy before his gift showed up. Tracking said it showed up this morning so I went to his old place to pick it up after work. All I see is a thoroughly soaked and damaged box with a shipping label. No one's home so I'm currently playing phone tag to see if his roommates were able to save anything.
>>135149135
Jebus open your fucking cards already
MPfromChilehere,JGfromChile
I received your card this morning ,
It seems we are companions in sending useless cardboards/boxes.

good to know that you and the tank are doing fine!
you saved christmas! Thanks for the card !
Have a good christmas!

Am I getting grinched?It doesn't even matter if it arrives tomorrow because it was shipped to my campus address
I am going to open on Christmas eve and none of you can stop me
Reposting in case my Santa didn't see.MPfromCA, I absolutely love the card. Thank you.
Sorry anon, I couldn't wait for Christmas to open your present because of specific reasons. I'm going to post it on /a/ now.
Received this in the mail. Thank you!
But what is it?Is it a stamp?I haven't removed the plastic wrapping in case if it's actually food.
>>135150948
It's a stamp, I just got the same thing.
>>135148482
I sure hope there isn't anything in these cookies.
>>135150948
99% sure it's a stamp, anon. There were others that received them in past threads.
>>135150948
Looks like a OPM stamp.

Dear /a/
I don't have jack shit worth of money, but I'm learning to program and hopefully I'll be able to make enough money to make Christmas next year worth anything.
Merry Killing of King Jew, Love,
anon.
>>135150997
people always dig through /ss/ threads trying to find their initials and they get very happy when their initials do come up
so anons will spoiler the initials since they are just likechristmas presents
>>135149498
Wait this happened in CA?
>>135151347
happened in GA. Santa is from CA
>>135151401
FUCK DUDE IS THAT YOU GM? IS THIS WMG"S PACKAGE?
>>135151426
Yessir. It might be tomorrow or after Christmas until I can be sure what the status of the gifts is. I'll try to keep you updated.

Email me if you want to contact me directly.[email protected]
Part 4 of 5 (card version)So much for hiding my name. Oh well I never really cared for that.
Thank you very much anon for all of these wonderful thoughtful ideas! Out of all the presents I have received from Secret Santa, yours was the best. Maybe I'll send you an email later on since you gave it to me.
>>135151855
Are you RN from CA?
Tracking says my package arrived to you yesterday morning.
>>135150827
what was your name?
>>135151950
Yeah that's me. I have been stumped with overnight work so I usually just get home and sleep I should be able to pick up your package tomorrow.

This is the first figurine I've ever gotten before. I am so glad it looks well done! Look how nice the gown is on her.

Look out boys, we got ourselves a time traveler.

combine those images, yo
isMB of DEaround? I just remembered the book I sent last year and I smiled because it was sincerely a stroke of a luck that I was able to get that book.
I hope you're cheerishing it. Cheers.
>>135152385
I'll try my best on Photoshop, but I've never done it before.
>>135152379
It's true. By the way Hiro ruins Christmas for all of anons. Not telling how though.
>>135147786
Wafers are universal anon.
>>135152468
Who's Hiro?
>>135152468
This site was down earlier, so I wouldn't be surprised.
>>135152392
Been monitoring the thread, the book is excellent. It's honestly a shame there aren't more hardcover copies of manga.Preferably at a price that doesn't mean I have to choose between eating and collecting.
It's really strange getting so many mentions in a thread.
>>135152643
Yeah, I have all 3; seeing your like list, I instantly knew I just had to get you one of the 3. I would've gotten you other ones too if they don't go for more then scale figures, seriously. You and I were both in for a luck.Back of the book has MSRP; it's a shame indeed that it goes for 4x as much now.Then again, there are only 3000/5000 of these or so. Or less, even.Have two of each.
>>135152426
How hard is it to multiply the height of 1 picture by 8 and slap all 8 in one pic?
Assuming all your pic are the same size.
>File > New > enter width size > Multiply the pic height by 8 > slap all 8 pics in.
>>135152776
>>135152426
you could use photojoiner
>>135152753
I know how that is, I find myself buying cheap-ish copies of rare books just because I know the price is decent, even if I already have it.
>>135152776
>>135152827
Fucking MS paint works fine and is probably faster if you know what to do.
>>135152869
If you don't already own it so, I found this:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1934287539If I gotten you this year, this would've been what you would've gotten.Now, if only Vertical gotten the damn license of Astro Boy from the Dark Whores already, because I'm not paying a dime to those fuckers. I'd appreciate proper release of the Phoenix, also, but VIZ won't let that one go, either, those fuckers.
>>135152332
>that trackpad
fucksake, anon, clean that shit
>one of my gifts is a fig I already have
Shit, what the fuck do I do now?Would it be in poor taste to resell it?
>>135152513
from San Diego, not my zip code. I hope your anon replies!
>>135146705

>>135147377
your still in school/work on the 24th
>>135153093Keep it for /ss/ next year
>>135153093
It's a gift, it's yours. I haven't sold my dupe yet, but if situation arrises, I might later down the line.I'd be damned if there actually was an Anon who sold a fig that went up in price by twicefold and made money when he needed it
>>135153199
>Hotgluing Nendoroid
>>135153093sell it and make sure to gain profit off of it too
>>135153007
Getting the last copy is always so nerve wracking. Thanks for the heads up.
>>135153093
Now you know to list what not to buy next year.
>>135153093
That's why you include a list of figures you own related to the series/characters you're asking for in your request, ya dingus.
>>135153356
Funny thing is, I have a MFC, I just didn't think to include it...
>>135153298
Grats, nice to know this'll complete your collection.And looks like you just bought it? It's gone now
>>135153093
>own only one piece of anime merch
>a single figure
>list multiple series in my wish list
>didnt think to include that I had the one figure in my list because what are the chances
>anon sends me a figure
>its the one I already have
>>135153093
Keep the one you got as a gift, gift the old one on the next /ss/ to someone.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Looks like it's going to be late.
>>135153155
It's supposed to be in Georgia by now, not San Diego.
>tfw checked the mail today and still nothing
I'm sure it's just late. Right?
What was it?
>>135146243
I loved it! The Christmas Rock over Japan made my smile aggressively
I think my computer broke, seems to be moving slow even when I try to save an image so instead out of 8 this will be 2/3
>>135153496
>anon is a massive buyfag
>can't help but wonder if I missed the merch I got them on their list and sent them a dupe
3/3
Thank you very much anon from Hawaii! You're the best!
>>135153994
>Saito Chiwa-fagGoodtaste.You should watch Horizon.
>>135145392
Why do I always cry like a bitch every time I re watch toradora in Christmas eve /a/?
>>135154204
Whose idea was it to make it a tradition that /a/ re-watch Toradora in Christmas, anyhow?
>>135154194
You know what, I always forget that they have the same voice actor even though shes my favorite. I'll have to check out Horizon sometime.
>>135154262
Madoka's seiyuu has a role, too. Just watch it and absorb the first time. You might not understand some plot in the beginning because there's so much going on with very little explanation. It's a very good series, actually, once you get into it.
why are people so shocked that their stuff is shipping late in the busiest mailing season of the year? prepare ahead of time so you are not stuck in mail traffic, and if you did do that then well, shit happens anon you already did everything you could.
and also, why the negative reactions from the recipients? if your anon got in touch with you and he or she did what he could then who cares if its late? you are going to get it anyway.
what a bunch of babies.
DidJBfromAustraliaever get his gifts?
I feel really bad if they didn't make it for tomorrow.

>>135154686
And thanks for this amazing cardMSfromNJ.Thanks so much!
>>135154847
Those look like the cheap candy I used to get in Mexico for Halloween or in piñatas.

Hey I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hope you can make use of Kanji sonomama.You are also forgiven for opening it before Christmas.

More stamps made it! Hope you enjoyed the card as well! I had a lot of fun making that one.

According to the USPS, your package was delivered on the 21st. Here's hoping you got it!
>>135150060
>Card was supposed to arrive the 29th
FuckingTurbusmiracle. But I am glad! and yeah useless cardboards are the best if you ask me.
Merry Christmas to you too anon!
>>135150984
There is a lot oflove.
That's what makes them so soft.
RQfromUT, I got your package yesterday.
Sorry for not posting anything until now! I've been busy with other holiday stuff.The note and gift are untouched, but I opened the jar already.
Please forgive me, I was very hungry when it arrived and the lovely scent of apples was too much.
>>135155243
Hah , Turbus said the same to me about your gift last year.
>It will arrive after Christmas
APfromNYhere. I sent cards out toAinFL,MFinCA, andSTinID. They're pretty bad and I'm sorry about it, I got sick at a real bad time this year and wanted to get the cards out in time to make sure they were there by Christmas.
I got two cards in return and wanted to share. Thanks to an anon from Phoenix, AZ for your card. This was super cute.
>>135151607
If you are a newshit and it's the first anime you watch with /a/, you connect with it. Same is true for every 201X general poster.
They are nice guys after all.I still travel by pullman.
>>135151735
I recognize, bulge, etc...
That said that's pretty good, I call traced.
>>135155594
And this is from Gendo Ikari who is in Boston, MA apparently. Thanks for the card, looking back on the novel myself lately I haven't been as fond of it as I used to be, but it introduced me to my wife so it's still one of the best things I've ever read.
>>135155650
This is one of the ones I did not trace. Also thanks.
>>135155611
>>135155689
Yeah, me too, i like my body in one piece.
>>135155732
You are pretty good at drawing dicks anon.
I hope y'all have a very Merry Christmas.
>>135150827
Are youJPfromNY?If you are sorry, Idk what happen to the receipt but I'll try to fix it and send you the presents as soon as possible.
>>135155594
>>135155684
That's cute. Merry Christmas, Erikafriend, and you too, /ss/.
>>135155760
Good man.
Is the mail office open tomorrow? Cause I think Im grinched.
>>135155684
Cool, all my cards have been posted!
I think you got the best art of the three, which is weird because yours is the only one I didn't trace. Good reference pic I guess
>>135156142
Depends where you live. Some have extremely reduced hours, aren't open at all, etc.
Check online before you go. Better to assume it's late rather than a grinch.
>>135155840
Merry Christmas to you too anon!
>>135149913
But...I don't wanna.
MPfromNMMKfromPolandBPfromMIAJfromWIMfromNHETfromCALKfromUTNWfromSwitzerlandVRfromTXCfromNew Zealand
Your cards are all on their way.They are gonna be late, i fucked up.I'm sorry;_;
I'm afraid my cards haven't made it...I had to make my own frankenvelopes for them, put a forever stamp, and sent them on their merry way. They weren't returned, and I checked the USPS website and I thought they were within the guidelines...maybe the forever stamp wasn't enough? I'm hoping it's just mail being slow
I-I just wanted to make anons happy ;_;
>>135156144
Thanks again, Anon, real lucky to get two cards from people familiar with or willing to look into my wife's source. The red and blue truths were great. Merry Christmas!
Actually sort of confused how people are matched up though, I didn't get you as a card recipient, and I owe you something. My other card didn't even have a return address though. Last year I signed up just for cards and got a card from someone who was a recipient of mine.
>>135156239
Do it faggot!
QBfromNSWI know your gift has most likely arrived, can you tell me if it has.
>>135155159
Unfortunately I don't have a DS, I only have a 3DS. I might get one though.
>>135153771
its probably late, have faith anon
>>135156559
it's backward compatible...
>>135156559
Doesn't the 3DS play DS games or are there extra DS-only peripherals needed for that game?
>>135156310
Merry Christmas, glad you liked it! I was worried about getting the red/blue thing right, I guess I managed it.
As long as you sent some nice cards to your recipients then the circle is complete, your debt has been paid etc etc. Besides, that return address goes to a dorm that I've already left.
Again, may you and your waifu have a merry christmas and happy new year!
>>135156142
Its probably just late anon
>Still no gift
>Have only been mentioned for my card
I amstill hopeful for tomorrow.
>>135156613
I assumed that it couldn't play games in Japanese though, or games that came from Japan. Or is the game in English?
>>135156760
>The Game Boy and Nintendo DS product lines do not use regional lockouts for physically distributed games; however, software specific to the Nintendo DSi are region-locked, and cartridges released by iQue in China can only be played on DS models produced by iQue (although they remain compatible with other DS cartridges). The Nintendo 3DS line however, does enforce region locking for 3DS-specific software, with the exception of Nintendo 3DS Guide: Louvre, which is region-free.
>>135156607
I'll have faith right up until mid-Jan. Just a little sad I won't be able to thank anon on Christmas day.
>No pics of cards posted.
>I know anons got them
Well everyone hates my cards...great.
>>135156832
Yeah, I had a feeling that was a case. Fortunately the game does work on my 3DS! This is great! Thanks anon.
>>135154686

Meanwhile I signed for 6 cards and got 0
A-at least anons liked my cards.
>>135158724
Yep.
I went the safe route with 1 card and 1 gift. Everything went well so I'll probably sign up for more and a higher price bracket next year.
>>135154534
I posted in the last thread >>135126543
Worry not, Christmas is saved.
>>135157577
I'm glad you like it anon, I hope you have a nice and comfy Christmas.
Post my fucking cards you shitcunts, I'm sure you have those already.
>>135158978VRfromTX?
At least mine is on its way.
So, when do we unpack the gifts? Make photos with our waifu etc?
>>135159746
If you're a europoor, you most likely do it on Christmas Eve. If you're a real American, you do it on the Birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
>>135160119
>you do it on the Birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
So in like April or something?
Jimmy from sweden here.
My /ss/ said he shipped the gift 8 december. Haven't arived yet, should I mail santa loli? I'm more worried that there has been a problem than being grinched.

Your government thought all incoming presents should be given to refugees so that they can have an enjoyable Christmas too. Ahmed is having a wonderful time with you're waifu.
>>135160511
plz /pol/, not on christmas eve

All in the spirit of Karl Bertil Jonsson!
Mitt land är ditt, alltid fritt
>Still absolutely nothing
Is the poll guy coming back again?
>there is a realistic possibility that you have sent a gift to a tripfag
Please fucking kill me. I actually put effort into the cards too. Is there a list of all the tripfag addresses so I know when I get assigned to them so I can grinch them? Or at least send them the bare minimum of what I have to send them?
>>135158724
Mine. Hoping for delays on both fronts rather than grinched. At least I know my gift was recieved, though I'm not sure on the actual card. It was so bad I want to die of shame every time I remember it, so perhaps it's for the best. I'll spend the year practicing for next /ss/ though.
Austriahere. Thank you so much anon from the UScurrently in car en route to family so I didn't bring the card and forgot your initials, I'll post card when I return. Sorry for forgetting to answer the message you sent via SantaLoli..but it still made it in time. Loved the card by the wayJJfromGermany, the second part of the gift is at the post office but I can't get it before Jan 2nd, I will post pics then.
Anyone else who sent to me, I posted just before last thread died, but a big thanks again to you
>>135158917
>>signed for 3 cards got 6
What? How the fuck?
>>135159548
Threadly reminder that I am not going see your gifts until later that day because they are at my parent's house.
>>135161089
His gifters probably put a card in with their gift.
>>135161161
Well obviously their did. Or is this not normal? I never received or sent out a present without a card.
Are there actually anons who just tape their gift, throw it into a box and ship it off?
>>135161089
>>135161161
You guys don't put cards with your gifts?
>>135160511
Please anon. Just for Christmas don't remind me of how shitty my country is, okay?
>>135158724
2/3 gifts, last guy said he's grinching me
2/5 cards received, one came with an extra package which more than makes up for the grinching faggot
Also got a sweet CD from Jebus and exchanging with ScarfAnon
Pretty happy overall
>>135161333
>last guy said he's grinching me
Wait what? Did he just give you a call and said "Sorry bro but I am gonna grinch your ass"?
If I was a grinching asshole I would probably try to avoid all contact with my assignment.
>>135142399
Don't worry, you chose well. I like all the girls (except maybe Shirley) but CC is my favourite.
>>135161372
He said something along the lines of "shit taste, go away" in thread, haven't heard anything else so I don't think it's a big stretch to say that's a grinching announcement.intentionally vague wording, don't want you trawling the archives for my initials
>>135161263
Sorry, I lash out because it makes me feel better about the situation.
I hope you have a really nice Christmas anon.
>>135161225
>>135161226
I'm just offering an explanation. I personally did, that's how I know my anon got his gift, I saw the card in the card gallery someone posted.
Got your card Anon! Really enjoyed the sad panda pocky and dietician Umaru.
Really amazing!
>>135161070
>JJfromGermany, the second part of the gift is at the post office but I can't get it before Jan 2nd, I will post pics then.
;_; At least it didn't get lost. I hope you'll like the first part at least, so you'll have something on Christmas Eve.
>>135161463
>there are people so mad about other people enjoying different anime then them that they are going to grinch someone over it
Never going to understand this. If my assignment asked for a Naruto figure I wouldn't be one bit mad. I would probably call him a faggot in his card, but aside from that I wouldn't put any less effort into his card than into others.
Why are people who can't handle other people enjoying different things even participating?
>>135161553
>>135161611
How do you even fuck up this badly?
>>135161545
I'm glad it got there in one piece, one of the sticky pads fell off as I was wrapping it so I was worried some of the others would follow suit.
>3rd year in /ss/
>last 2 years were almost perfect minus a few cards not showing up
>decide to sign up again to try to get my spirits up
>initials posted in thread in early November so keep looking forward to the mail
>still not even a card in the mail
When should I start worrying? this may be my 3rd year but usually I've received at least a card by now. the person who posted my initials was even a namefag and hasn't posted on /a/ since mid November.
Reposting for christmas spirit. [1/2]

I wish I can say I was drunk but I'm sober as fuck right now.I apologize to JJ for messing up with his reputation as an Anonymous :^)

Thanks again anons.
>>135161089
I dont know myself. I haven't opened my gifts yet. Those 6 are the cards alone (well 5 to be fair but some anon last thread said that the 6th one is on its way)
>all those beautiful cards
>my card is boring and doesn't even have a drawing on it
I am sorry anon. I really tried. I really really did. But I simply can't draw for shit, even when I trace it looks awful.
I envy your drawing skills. I want to be able to draw too.
Reposting cards.
>>135161879
1. Print out the image you want to crib off of
2. Place image over surface you want to do the final on (a card, most likely)
3. Make sure the image and surface are secure and won't move
4. Trace over every part of the image while pressing down hard
Congratulations, you've left behind an impression on the actual surface. Now all you have to do is go over the lines you pressed into the surface, which should be fairly legible if you pressed hard enough.
>>135145392
ryuji just randomly made his mom feel terrible and ran away 2 bone this girl??? then after all that unneeded shit she leaves anyways out of her own accord? unbelievable why couldnt you have just asked her out
>>135161879
>>135162092
or just trace off the screen, it's even easier, now just add some stuff by yourself and you're good to go
RepostingSCfromKYthank you again! Can't wait to open these presents tomorrow.
I really hopeRAfromAustraliareally likes what I got her. Still shitty that I couldn't send anti-vemon also.
the final card arrived today thanks anons
>>135162353
That's a cute fluffy.
Another Haibane Renmei card! It looks very professional!
Thank you anon!
>>135162092
I do this every year
How long do we wait before we can say we've been grinched?
>>135163358
The official deadline was last week! Have you phoned the police yet? Anon you've left it far too long to inform us.
>>135163358
at the end of january you can start worrying
>>135163480
What? I thought it was a few weeks after Christmas
>mail came
>still nothing
>people haven't posted pictures of my cards even though I sent them 3 weeks ago
>santee still hasn't shown signs of life that he got my package, even though it arrived 3 weeks ago
Wow I'm having so much fun
>>135163626
>Taking some of the /a/ too seriously
>Taking any of /b/ seriously
>Not taking Christmas seriously
>>135163688
Not the only one
>Sent five cards
Nothing
>Sent two packages
>Nothing
>Receive any cards or packages?
Nope
I'm on my phone so, Merry Christmas /a/! Also, if you haven't received anything, the latest you should wait before getting sad is probably a week, max, into January. After that, we'll blacklist. Be sure to tell us if you ended up receiving a gift somehow late, or tell us if you didn't receive one at all! It's important to stay in contact so we can pinpoint who needs a gift still, and who doesn't. Once the new year hits, we can probably start the grinch assignments, and try our best to sort those out, communicate with the gifter and giftee, and finalize that. Anyways, don't lose hope! Better late than never! But on time is always important! I'll probably add the survey starting New Years too, and maybe dates next year for times things need to be shipped so people know or can save money. Also, to anyone who got cookies from me, I hope they taste good! They weren't the ones I wanted to make but I didn't have a food processor at the time... so thatms that! Maybe I'll send a lot more next year!
Thank youJMfromCanada, I'm so happy I finally got a card. Don't worry about drawing I can tell you still put a lot in your card.
merry christmas to you as well. it's my first time participating but everything went according to keikaku. Thank you!

And that's two safely arrived. Sorry for the dumb card.
Merry Christmas, Anon.
Dear DM from Germany.
For some reason your present is getting sent back to me. It says that you didn't get it from the post office, but that would be weird since tracking never said that it even left my town. Mayb tracking was broken?
Anyways, please send your address to me per mail again. I'll try to resend it as soon as it gets back to me.
>>135146050

And a happy New Year.
>>135165605
kinda heartwarming
>>135165661
That would have been good if not for the fact that it was a massive fuck up.
Post my fucking cards.
>>135157645
I'm going to steal this idea, and there's nothing you can do about it.
>>135165820
But I won't get them until the 28th.
>>135165497
Yeah, I saw that. That's the weirdest thing I ever experienced with fucking DHL and I saw a lot of bullshit over the years. Your package never arrived here.
Did you ever make it to your post office btw?
>>135165967
Sadly no. The line was fucking crazy the last days when I went there, and I sadly could only go there after work which is around 6PM.
I'll wait until the package arrives here and then go there to complain. Fucking DHL.
>>135166053
Alright. Hope you don't have to pay the shipping again.
>>135165930
Same as this guy, assuming our Customs don't fuck up and delay my packages even longer.I also have to assume my /ss/ didn't grinch me.
>>135166091
And I hope you get your present soon.
All of this would probably not have happened if I sent it out a week earlier. I learnt from this.
I'm sorry.
Do you guys plan to open yours at 12 am sharp on the 25th, or wait until morning like decent people?
>>135166333
I'm opening mine whenever I see the first thread go up.
Some people were talking about opening as soon as it's Christmas in Japan.
>>135166197
Also, the only thing that comes to mind to what could have happened is that the package was over the weight limit you paid for.
As for resending my address, it should be in your initial assignment mail from Santaloli and it's the right one, just checked again. Also in all reply mails, since they always quote the whole thing.
>>135166333
I open along with my other presents. Then post when all others are posting theirs.
Melli Kurisumasu Nippon!
>>135160436
I think I was your santa. The postnord.se site shows nothing, I would give you the tracking number but I´m currently away from home. I will try tomorrow. Do mail santa loli if necesary.Asuming that you haven´t received a large orange white box. God jul till dig i alla fall.

>Implying I didn't request the address of a certain tripfag to send him cards and candy.
The only trip worth grinching in these threads is that blondefag anyway.
>>135161089
I signed up for sending cards only.
>>135161710
That's quite some drawing.
>>135162173
I can handle myself with making the cards, the part I always have trouble with is deciding what to write on them. Always feel like my messages end up being boring or generic.
>>135164159
I am jelly of every single one of those gifts.
10/10 taste.

>>135167229

I don't know what happened but your gift got returned to me today.
I'll try to send it back as soon as I can and I'll mail Santa Loli to let you know how it goes.
I'm sorry but worry not, you're not getting grinched.

I didn't know that was a thing.
It was in perfect condition when I shipped it, but it was a bit damaged when I got it back.
>>135169273
I've never seen this before either. Just curious what was the turn around time on it? You don't speak German so it sounds like it at least left your country?
>>135167326
When ever it hits midnight in your area. Australians and Elevens can open now.
>>135169399
Yes, this is what the tracking site says. I've never seen this before.
German postal services, how do they work?
reposting the cards I got.
This anon included a copy of his gay Monogatari erotic fan-fic. It was an interesting read.
I received this two last week, thank you anons, they're lovely.
To a /m/a/n: you should give it a try someday.
To /a/non bellow:expect something in Jan.
>>135143786AGhere, yours arrived safely. In case you get info on the receiver,it signed by my neighboor.
Hopefully, the other packages didn't arrive at my flat on the 22nd and 23rd, could be troublesome if they did.
TP of AZ here, I received two cards that are really cute that I'll post later tonight after work. No gift yet or other cards t-there's still time to receive my gift before Christmas. I-I have hope!!
Open question:
Did your card gave you a boner?
>>135169789

>>135169825
I gave out free boners with my cards

Why the fuck isn't this /soc/ shit deleted already?
>>135169825
If my card managed that I'm pretty proud of myself.
>>135169825
You just want to know if you excited another anon, Mr. Naughty.
>>135169825
I had an anon who asked for lewds, so making his card gave me one.
It is surprisingly easier to draw with a thick, throbbing erection.
>>135169903
Not sure anon. There's been a thread up nearly 24/7 for the past week and a half, so I imagine the mods have probably given the O.K. corral.
MitsufromCAMCfromGABCfromMAAJfromTXhere, I got all of your parcels/boxes but can I open them? Or are they not wrapped?
And thank you all so much holy fuck. Christmas miracle desu senpai
JGfromChile, I asked Santa Loli for you but all she got is your info from last year. Are you a ghost?
I'd appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction with your initials this year. Here's a throwaway if you prefer so[email protected]. I wouldn't be opposed to messaging the phone number on the envelope.

BC from MA.
Reposting for visibility since I got no reply last time.
Thanks my Portuguese /a/non, love it.
>>135171560
Actually on second thought dont open it anon. I was just reading my list of presents i sent out. Yours is the least wrapped out of all 3 because of the contents inside.
Just wait till tomorrow.
2 presents sent 2 seen in this thread.
Last presnet will be hand delivered tomorrow.
15 cards sent, 3 seen.
Only 7 cards recived.
Its okay.
>>135171638
I'm glad you liked it.
>Card finally left the station and made it to anon's location and is marked as delivered by USPS
It's a festivus miracle!Too bad it was a dorm address so he probably won't see it until next year. Or do people stay in the dorms over the winter break?
>>135172012
Only the losers
>>135172012
One of my gifts was also sent to a dorm. I assume that's why my anon hasn't posted that he got it. Ot at least I don't think he did.
>>135161070

So I guessCTofCAis just one of my cards.
So

Ah well, as long as he enjoys it.
So was everyone just fucking incompetent this year?
It seems like over half of everyone's gifts will be late.
It seems like nearly all everyone's cards will be late.
A staggering amount of people were posting mid December that they were still working on cards.
And ungodly amount of people have not been posting initials.
What the fuck /a/?
>>135173203
With more people come more failures
>>135173203
Idiots that never considered people might want to get their christmas cards before christmas.
ZERO cards.

was the Azusa easier to draw?
>>135173203
>And ungodly amount of people have not been posting initials.
That's a non-factor. They want to surprise their person rather than posting updates about the status of the gift.
The other stuff is inexcusable, especially since many people were posting mail service scheduling, tips on how to complete cards, etc.
>>135173203
it's the same every year
>>135173301
>They want to surprise their person
Fuck no. I've seen my initials posted a few times, and I've only gotten one card.
Not posting initials is stupid.

You're hearing the people who are having issues. A lot of people who are doing just fine are not posting that fact.
>>135173203
Well, both of the anons who has to send me presents are late this year.but I've been contacted by both of them so I know i'm not grinched
So I guess we suck quite a lot this year.
>>135169654
Yeah I finally saw one of my card out
Now I wait for my /ss/ to show their gifts
>>135173203
Silent majority faggot. Also
>And ungodly amount of people have not been posting initials.
You're the reason I don't post initials, quit being such a baby.
>>135165605
that sqealer is horrifying
>>135173268
She is cuter, which made the drawing gleeful.I end up doing a couple and then write a letter around the best one. I send it out thinking, "yes I am such an amazing artist, this will be the best card in /ss/" and then I see other cards compared to mine and feel withering shame. Everyone has been supportive, even when the card critiques their taste.

It's the same every year newfuck.
This year it has been quite good actually, it's always a clusterfuck yet it always works itself out at the end, and posting initials was actually frown at until last year.
Stop being a cry baby.

>Your government thought all incoming presents should be given to refugees.
More terrifying alternative, is that the gift was opened in the customs and considered CP under Swedish laws.
Have a merry christmas with Säpo. (swedish FBI)Your /ss/

It's a Christmas miracle!

Still no presents or cards
Fuck You /a/

Wew laddy nigga got grinched.
MPfromNM
Your gift should have arrived December 21. Currently the tracking says " Item has arrived at the delivery office in the destination country". Hopefully that means you have it, even though it does not confirm delivery as complete.
If there are any issues please let me know through Santaloli, who passed on the tracking number to you some time ago.
Right so back to cards. I got another today! Thanks again for the candies and card this year DL from MI.
ESofCAKOofIL
My cards are gonna be arriving at the 26th, sorry ;-;
>>135175253
Much wow, your kinda making me want not want to do a grinched gift or two.
Just checked mail and nothing. Fuck you my Santa. You could've posted here or told SantaLoli it would be late but to say nothing is shitty. Fuck you.

Thanks for your gift! I've placed her with her Danbo friends.

I mean it had no features but as of now she just has hair floating there
Can't wait to open this tomorro!
>>135176463
Well her hair is really the only thing you'll ever notice about her, if you ever do.
>>135170113MitsufromCAhere. Your gift is wrapped, so its safe to open the box at least, but I can't recall if my letter is out or not. If it is out, don't read it until you open the gift. I hope you end up liking what I got you.
>>135176858
Oh hey are you going to post your cards later?

Only one of my anons has even bothered replying and saying they received their presents. I'll wait til Christmas and see how angry my anons are about their gifts.
>>135177043
That's cool. Stop attentionwhoring.
JLofONCPofONCDofON
Holy shit, your guys gifts actually made it there despite sitting in place for five days.
Not sure how long til post offices close in Ontario, so hurry up.
SJfromGermanyhere, received 1/7 cards so far.
I know at least two other anons sent me cards a few weeks ago, but they haven't arrived yet. Hopefully they didn't get lost in the mail.;_;
Thanks againMMPfromLatviafor this card, it still makes me smile everytime I look at it.
Why is it more fun doing this with strangers than with people you know?
>>135177300
I know this is going to sound edgy, but at least /a/non is thankful when I do stuff for them.
>>135177300
Because we share a similar sense of humor and interests. I do a secret santa though work out of obligation but it's not nearly as much fun.
>>135177300
With family, it's obligation. With office workers, there's always the people you don't like.
Also, you can do silly shit and people will be ok with it.
>>135177300
Because the people you know aren't f/a/gots.
>>135177300
Because people you know can't decide on a fucking date to meet up and exchange the damned presents, or come up with whatever problem.Then they move it to March and your Christmas-themed shit is expired and irrelevant.Anons are good.
>>135177300
I think the gift means more if you give it to someone you know.
/ss/ has literally zero accountability, you could easily grinch in the 250 dollar bracket every year and not get caught, if you did that with a friend you wouldn't stay friends for long.
So it's a more.. sincere act of kindness I suppose? There's no penalty for not doing it, strictly speaking, but yet people put so many hours into their gifts and are so creative with their cards you can just feel how much people love christmas.
>>135177300Because /ss/ is the only gift I will receive. I give others away but not to anyone who reciprocates.
>>135177383
Yea, I think it's because we take part in this because we want to, not out of obligation.
>>135177423
So it's more fun to be with faggots?
>>135177448
give it to someone you don't know*
>>135177146
Glad to know it anon, enjoy!If it makes you feel better, I havent gotten any cards yet but I believe they are comming
>>135166333
When my timezone comes up in the threads like usual.
Unless I have to work tonight because two drunks got fired and I don't want my coworkers with families to have to bail on them on Christmas to cover for fuckups.
>>135177300
Because you can turn into a blushing mess without people around you.
IS IT ALREADY 25TH? IS IT? I WANT TO OPEN THEM NOW!
>>135177300
Because Idon't have any friends
>>135177695
It is in certain parts of the world.
>>135177700
hey, since I got your CD I consider you a friend
>>135177300
Because for many of us /a/ is the only people we share our hobbies and shit tastes with.
>>135156261
Nothing wrong with being late, it just prolongs the Christmas fun even later!
This thread had left me in despair. I was grinched hard last year, didn't even get the actual data on the person that grinched me due to lack of communication with /ss/ so I could send him 1kg of horse shit via airmail as thanks. Thanks to the mental scarring, I didn't participate this year. That faggot who grinched me is possibly still grinching others this year. Fuck this shit.
>>135177700
I'll be your friend...
>>135177775
I... I love you /a/.
Is Santa Loli MIA? Sent him a mail yesterday.
>>135173203
All my orders got stuck in Customs for weeks, some still haven't arrived.
Express mailed my gifts out last Thursday after which they didn't move for five days due to mechanical problems holding things up.
They all made it to their post offices today, one has been picked up so far.
>>135177848
>>135177751
D-doushio.
This is the first time my present hasn't arrivedif it willby December, let alone Christmas eve. Oh well, at least I know my gift made it, thank god for tracking.
>>135178043
I would say 50% of the stuff anons send arrives late, and many don't post it since there are no threads on January.
>>135178111
but heck they start crying about it even weeks before Christmas.
>>135176925
Did you send it in a tennis ball package?
>>135178026
R-right
>>135177300
Because I love you all!
I can tell you that I have a waifu without fearing the consequences,
Besides who else am I going to give 20 gb of porn.
>>135173203
I was a lazy procrastinating fuck as I am with my entire miserable life and put off making my cards until way too late, but I made sure to send them expedited so they would get there by yesterday, I'm getting a bit worried because none of them have been posted yet, but I'm probably ok because it's typically only packages that get significantly backed up, right? I'm just hoping they're waiting until Christmas to post them, as I'm not planning to post mine until I get back home later today.
>>135175892
HeyRR,CWhere, just caught the message in the archives, glad it got there ok and really, really hope you like it!
>>135178111
>50% of the stuff anons send arrives late
Yeah, I tried getting everything here quickly so I could send it out sooner so I EMSed everything in and Expressed it out (over $200 to mail out), but there's nothing I could do about Customs getting literally every package.
Add:
- remote location that nobody gives a damn about
- our freight airline getting their operating license pulled
- bad weather and mechanical delaying flights
- some fucked up airline system where a small airline holds a block of seats on a larger airline and gives them no notice so mail gets bumped repeatedly
I'm lucky my stuff ever made it here let alone back out and actually got to Ontario.
Probably too late for everyone to actually pick it up, so no difference.
>>135175566
You're welcome! I hope you enjoy the candy, it's an assortment of weird shit I found at the local Asian supermarket (I taste tested at least one of each before sending them out to make sure they weren't too terrible).
>>135178352
Are you from the Northwest Territories? If so, you were probably my Santa last year. Thanks again!
>No gift
>Post office closed
Damn first year and I've been grinched.
>>135178497
It's only a grinch if it never arrives ever. There's still time.
>>135178453
If you're a Newfie, I was your Santa, and you're welcome.
How is she holding up?
>>135178514
If it doesn't arrive in time for Christmas, that equally sucks. You can't participate with /a/, and your Santa didn't care enough to competently send shit in time.
>>135178579
The gift I sent arrived safely on time, I dont care about mine,santa has said its gonna come after Christmas, what else can you do? Whine that you didnt get it? You could have been grinched instead
>>135178579
Yes it sucks, but that doesn't mean you will be grinched.
>>135177114
Got your gifts anon, I'm surprised as well after i got that tracking # saying it would come after Christmas. Coming through at the last moment.
I'm pretty hyped for tomorrow, thanks for the hot chocolate, ill make good use of it. Also that printed message on the card, you don't know how hard it hits. Looking forward to whatever comes in the future.
>>135178518
I am! I loves her.
I had to ship to Australia this year, I probably paid as much as you...
>>135178675
Mine didn't arrive and I still haven't heard anything from my Santa since this started. Neither has Santa Loli. So yes, it sucks.
Are you supposed to get as many cards as you sent out? I sent 9, got 3 and know 1's on the way, so I'm not salty or nothing, just wondering.
>>135178831
Dont worry anon,its gonna arrive. If not,grinched santa is still there for anons like you
>>135176858
Will do, santafriend. I'm sure I'll love it. Presents are always exciting
Also nice weeb name
>>135178860
I honestly don't know how that works. You would think you would get back as many as you had sent out, though some anons are lazy and just won't do them.
>>135175892
LB here.
I thought it was intentional. As the others said, It really fits her that way. I sure do still love it.
>>135162353
Aha. Good to know it arrived
>>135176263
Neither, I'm your santa fromFrance, sending toYB.
Anyway I'm glad I could reach you. In the meantime have a great Christmas!
Can't you just please post my cards?
>>135178733
I'm so glad they made it in time. I hopefully will be in the threads tomorrow morning, I might end up at work - staff issues have people with families in town working tonight and tomorrow and that just doesn't sit right with me.
>>135178769
Yeah, I've shipped internationally a few times doing this, but it's always nice seeing someone so far away enjoy their Christmas.

Did you guys get your letters yet, or do I have to go complain to those fucks down at my post office again?
>>135178413
Good to know, I'm most interested in this gel fruit block that looks like it might be made from persimmons. I love this kind of candy so I can't wait to get my snack on.
Thanks so much for the card anon! It was heartwarming. And I just fucking love that sun you drew up there.
Sadly I can't read runes. Can anyone translate it for me?
>>135178945
>>135178860
well i signed up for 3 cards and got 6 of them so far, so i really i don't know

Well, I'm just gonna chug down rest of my booze, stare at my two cards and then proceed to feel happy once in my life.
>Check mail every 30 minutes.
>No cards every single time.
I hate living in a country with shitty mail service.
Why the hell do we have to spoiler initials and places?
It makes no sense.
>>135179454
Nice. Thanks a lot anon.
Just want to say that I didn't participate (for anything in this Christmas for that matter) but it's beyond completely adorable to see this
You guys are the best
Merry Christmas /a/!
