I think it's a modern miracle when a letter sent with a stamp arrives anywhere let alone packages that have to clear customs. Don't fret, people. A post Christmas gift is always nice.

the shirt is from when bandit's football team won the european cup in 1982. there were two chocolate bars from the cadbury factory a mile from bandit's house.


Image

black sabbath coasters, ozzy card and a bottle stopper thingy. black sabbath formed 8 miles from bandit's house.

Image

and a fantasy gig poster in a glass frame designed by bandit himself.

Image

I'm so glad I don't participate in 'Secret Santa' with the people on the Kate Bush fan forum. One of the members sent another member a box of horse manure. #meanspirited

Believe me, it was crap, full of horse manure! How sick are some people and more shocking, how did someone like that ever get my address?

Glad you like it all and I'm really happy the glass frame on the poster made it across the Atlantic without smashing! I couldn't find a Perspex one which was A4 size.

Don't worry, Secret Santa hasn't forgotten you. I'm sure by the end of next week your pressie will arrive. I know it has been sent.

Oh goody goody goody, it's that time of the year again! I so love Christmas, and what's this? He left a present for me!

Image

It's from a 'Secret' Santa, oh quick, let me see what it is

Image

There's a nice little card here from a certain Pure Method, I didn't even know Santa went by that name?

Image

This must be my first tie! and such a beautiful colour, not your typical boring office type tie. They'll go great with my green shoes I bought this summer (no shit, I actually bought green shoes).

Image

Let's see, there's more, there's more I tell you. I guess this is a warm woolen Nepalese hat

Image

Yep, suits me perfectly. Even mommy thinks it looks great

Image

And there's more. What's this? A cool vintage whiskey poster! How did Santa know I love me some whiskey? This will look great in my room!

Image

Thanks again Santa for all these wonderful gifts! Can't wait for next year!

Wow! I'm impressed, both by the care of the gifts and the size of your kid. Looks god damn healthy!

BTW, I'm still crossing my fingers. Next week I will send another package if my receiver doesn't receive my gifts.

MINE EITHER!!! My recipient knows who I am so I'm gonna vent here...I'm really upset! I sent her a lot of cool stuff from around here and I sent it on Nov 22...it's disappeared into the Mexican ether. I really hope she can track it, I'm so sad and frustrated! :banghead: :banghead:

Perkana I sent you PMs with the tracking info...attempted delivery on 12/12 at your place and that's all I can track from my end now because it's USPS. I'm so sorry. Lesson learned, next time international packages go DHL or FedEx or something. if it doesn't appear I will tell you what's in it. or try to replace what I can. and send you the map I made of the area I got the presents from with the descriptions. boo.
