Amazon tells me that half of the gifts that I got for my santa have been delivered.
Gift received! I actually received it at an earlier date, but I had assumed it to be a Christmas present from my brother in France, since it arrived with 3 of his other presents. My bad if I worried you about it being late.
[collapse=A present!]
At first glance this is a box containing a FMA Keychain Figurine kinda thing. I did a little research though and it's actually like a random surprise which one is inside. Neat! Also, now I'm really sure I do have a lazy eye.
I got an Al. Definitely who I was hoping for.
Straight to my keychain. Lookin' good next to my Chiquita.[/collapse]
I'm not sure who sent it, there's no letter as of yet, or a note that came with it, but thanks!

Lazy eye or not, s2, you've got a sweet goatee.
That's a really cute keychain, too!

Sold I'm your Santa. There should be lots more... Amazon told me that it had been received... I'll check again.
Turns out there was more that I had assumed to be from brother. He addresses everything to me haha.
[Collapse=There's more?]
So after going through the boxes, I determined that it wasn't the Whiskey my brother sent my Dad. And it could have been "My Journey Through Madness" which is a book about coping with schizophrenia.. but I don't think any of you know me well enough to give me advice on such a personal subject. Not that I have schizophrenia. Ah, here it is...
Actually a book I have never read, despite countless recommendations. A great addition to my fiction bookshelf that I'll have to get started on post-haste.
A wild... pony appears! I'm not sure if this is a lucky guess by my secret santa, but when I said "current cartoons," this is one of the two shows I meant. Oh no, Sold is a brony. Oh, and also this is another random figurine, no guarantee on who it is.
It's... Minty? Not one you'll hear of from the show. But ponies are ponies and this is what you get in a blindbag. Neat design though.
To the corner of "things I wouldn't want a job interviewer to see." The blindbag ponies are a bit smaller than the McDonald figures, which kinda makes it look like Twilight and Fluttershy had a baby. Not that I ship that way...[/collapse]
I also received a note from my Santa with this one, and it's badwolf (yo ponies). Thanks a lot, I'm really surprised at how great my gifts are and getting 3!

Amazon tells me it should be there by the 22nd.
speaking of amazon, I have a 1:1 ratio of "shipments of stuff ordered via Amazon" to "something boneheaded on their part that pisses me off and/or doesn't make sense"

(Sorry for the upside-down segments of this video!)
Note: I figured I wouldn't have to edit out the address since I doubt anyone in DGames would try stalking my secret santa, lol. OR IS THERE?!
Oh yeah, and sorry for the watermarks, was forced to use AVS Video Editor and I didn't want to pay for the editor. XD!
This was my first video EVER and noticed a trillion problems with it. Sorry! Next time I'll do a better job w.r.t. positioning the camera correctly to basic video editing to yada yada. Unfortunately I've got my hands tied so I couldn't spend an hour editing it >.< D:
Everything was spontaneous so I probably sounded like an idiot here and there and didn't make sense in my articulation/expression. Whatevah.

(Additional shoutouts to my Secret Santa/s)
TL;DR version - I got Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale (video game for PS3), a hollow Sherlock Holmes book used for storing stuff, Hot Cocoa, Herbal Tea, two VERY long hand written letters, a polar bear picture, a glow-in-the-dark star sticker, annnnnnd I think that's it? Pretty elite gifts all around, thanks a lot Ranmaru/July!
Oh yeah, I'm totally going to respond to you guys in PMs w.r.t. your letters, I loved them both.
Edit: So Ranmaru was my Secret Santa (got me the video game and the book I believe?), and July decided to pitch in as well and threw in the sticker as well as the tea/hot cocoa (both of which were delicious.) Awesome. :D

Sorry I wasn't an official secret Santa-er, but Ran generously offered to let me throw in a note and a few things to say hi and Merry Christmas 
Loved the video, man. And yeah, I bought the gifts, and I told July to write a letter to throw in it since she's in the area. (She threw in some other stuff too 
)

Cool gifts and awesome letters! It's nice to know someone put a lot of effort into these things.
Also, I want to know how All-Stars turns out. I was looking at it earlier.

Lol, that was pretty cool of you guys to do. I really enjoyed both letters and the gifts so far (albeit I haven't jumped my way into All-Stars yet because I'm a bit busy with other stuff, but I'm sure I will because that game looks elite).
I'm responding to the letters once I have time, but I'll get back to you both fairly soon. :3
@Badwolf - I haven't cracked open the game yet, but I'll let you know how it is once I do.

Orbo, I have to say you are really wrong. Eragon books are the best things in a very long time.

You missed the part where BSL edited my post within his quote. Read my original post to see what I actually said.
