OK everybody! Post your gifts here, I'll go first.

I'm @Carmen's Secret Santa.
It’s really tough to get you things because you don’t like keeping stuffs. So this year, I present you with a Birman kitty! Since you’re not always at HQ to take care of pets, I volunteer to be a good kitty-mom for you.

Right, so mine is Flag.

Okay so, I go through our history of stories, and it looks like we’ve been through a lot. It’s really no excuse if I fumble around and not give you anything meaningful. I notice you had a kris dagger, so here’s a keris sword from Indonesia to compliment it. It’s a Kalawijan Keris, about 34 cm long, made in the style of 16th century Mataram Sultanate. The blade is made from alternating layers of iron and nickelous iron. The hilt and sheath are teak with brass. Enjoy this work of art… as art, strictly.

Zack's present had taken a bit of work, and honestly it felt weird spending so much time making a gift for an ACME, but she'd used stolen technology to make it, so it was only fair.

"Dear Zack" she wrote on the card, then blanked. What do ACMEs say to each other? Best keep it short, she thought. "Merry Holidays! Love, an ACME. PS. Will not work over water."

An interesting thing about repeating an experience is being able to spy details from another perspective. In this case, a post-operation briefing that escaped it's confines led to a informed observation the next time around.

It didn't take much. Pulling a favor to make sure that a note was added to the right document would ensure that the targeted recipient would recieve the package... eventually.

To Lee Jordon, the ornate cane would be a baffleing (if not disturbing) reminder of poor choices and a soured correspondence; while it would be salt in the wound of a certain ACME prisoner with a pension for wearing tweed. For Flag, it was a petty yet oddly vindicating source of amusement.

Merry Christmas!

I've got gifts for everyone!

First gift goes to @Julie Justice...Why? Because I'm her secret Santa that's why!

Just in case she couldn't stop at an overcrowded coffee shops just for a cappuccino...she make one herself at home...a milk frother (PRODUKT) and a milk frothering jug (MATTLIG) along with some batteries (ALKALISK) and a $100 gift card from IKEA in which those products (PRODUKT,MATTLIG and ALKALISK) has come from. (by the way I don't own IKEA or its products whatsoever)

I've got more gifts coming up if its okay by the host of this year's Secret Santa gifts thread.

For my friend @Invader, with her unusual taste in pets

From the legend of the woodcutter and his family, who had no decorations for their Christmas tree.
Maybe you can enjoy it next year:

Thanks so much for the great gift, @Jade. :)

(IRL, I'm at home, in Ohio; and will be visiting family later. But I promise, I will start looking for something for you...and Sam, too, of course. Lol. Have a very Merry Christmas. ;) )

To @Chase Devineaux,

you've been a worthy rival to VILE and we hope that you continue to play the game with us for many years to come.
Through our interactions, I've come to realise you're a man who has a good appreciation for the old school so here's an old school gift for you - a vintage shaving kit.

(btw, Carmen says you should shave off your beard)

Hey-hey @Joe Kerr! This Christmas, your Secret Santa (me) got you a private tour of 10 of the UK’s top castles! I figured hey, you’re a thief, maybe you might want to also be a legal tourist sometimes.

The list includes:
Sudeley Castle, Gloucestershire
Dunluce, Co Antrim
Warwick Castle (pictured)
Corfe Castle, Dorset
Beaumaris Castle, Anglesey
Tower of London
Skipton Castle, North Yorkshire
Astley Castle, Warwickshire
Dover Castle, Kent
Ludlow Castle, Shropshire

You can take the tour anytime, for you and one other person, but you’ll need to call ahead because some castles are closed seasonally or for renovations.

Have fun learning, Joe!

    Hey @Tenchi Masaki btw I did save my password after my last bout of computer trouble. This time however I saved the wrong password so. As for Jon Eckart, I DO use Chrome browser the problem is when we I get on another computer the passwords aren't stored. That's my current problem. So I'm either gonna make a new account or figure something out 'cause I'm not bothering boss man :D :D

    ((IRL: @Lucy2... You may have to just start a new account (if the system lets you)... we don't know who all has admin access, so 'password recover emails' might not get seen or dealt with. If you do, I'd suggest a new account, and a series of posts linking to the old account. Keep in mind, we're in Minnesota, so cold is a thing... if you wanna trade, we're open to place tickets! We can't really do anything until we hear from the appeal guy... anytime between the 19th and December 5th, so in theory move-out could be end of December (unless it gets here before the end of this month) or maybe they can stay... no idea. So, the other place door... that's what we'd have to fit everything through.))
