    You guys are lucky, my person has almost zero online presence, or I just stink at stalking. May need to enlist the help of pete

    Always open the card first, it is good manners

    Along with the card a sweet Corvette flyer. A true collector must be my SSanta as they even put it in a plastic sleeve.

    Nest go for a smaller box (they always have the good stuff )

    Luckily, the age limit is not based on mental but chronological so I can open it...
    A nice tie in to my obvious love of the simpsons. I probably was supposed to keep the box unopened but no way! A sweet figurine that will now adorn my desk at work!

    They obviously did their research. Something for a sweet game in the collection and even something for the pups (yup look at all that dog hair on the carpet )

    At the best for last. A sweet blueprint type tshirt with a pinball machine (BRUN), both pinball and the nerd OCD in me love this.
    Plus some light up flipper buttons (the only tough part will be deciding what game to install them on!)

    Quoted from LesManley:

    You guys and gals are all very welcome. To be honest, I really wasn't sure what I was getting myself into, but to see things turned out as near perfect as they did says a lot about some of the people on this site. People love to make jokes about pinside negativity, which can be true, but then you look at things like the secret santa program. 61 almost total strangers came together from across the world to buy gifts for another stranger on a pure volunteer basis. All of those people communicated, put thought into their gifts and did their best to adhere to timelines and really help make the season special for others. We didn't have any grinches and I think people really appreciated what they received. Hopefully this was the start of a great new tradition that more and more people want to be part of in the future.

    I am in for next year!

    This was a blast and thanks for all the hard work!
