    I wasn't a huge Atari fan but my wife is.

    She goes crazy for "Plaque Attack."

    Quoted from Coz:

    Ok, I couldn’t wait. My gifts are truly IMAMACULATE!!! Wow, my secret Santa found the most imamaculate Baywatch shirt and flyer, the Hoffs CD, a signed picture and some cool pinball items. Thanks for the laugh and the awesome gifts. I don’t have a Baywatch pin, maybe this is a sign that I need one...[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

    That is hilarious!!!!

    I'm more excited about my SS recipient opening his/her gift than I am to receive mine.

    Great gifts so far!! Merry Christmas pinsiders!!

    #347 5 years ago

    Curiosity is killing me with all these unopened parcels!

    Quoted from NeilMcRae:

    I can't believe you folks are opening and it isn't even Christmas day!

    Some Pinsiders are just ahead of their time

    Quoted from LesManley:

    Just wanted to post an update on the gift sending status for everyone.
    I'm pleased to say that I have heard from or have seen updates for every single person, all 113 pinsiders, about the status of their gift shipping. That is commendable! Lots of people waited to ship gifts until the deadline as they wanted them to arrive closer to Christmas which is totally understandable, so expect a lot of packages arriving next week. That said, many people are shipping multiple packages from different locations or vendors too, so even if you got a package already, continue to keep your eyes open for possible additional packages. With any luck, it looks like neither rain, nor sleet nor a Canadian Postal strike will keep gifts from arriving on time. Aside from a few potential exceptions, it looks like things are right on track for everyone to have their gifts by Christmas. Please do continue to keep me posted if something comes up or if you need me to relay a message to your SS about the status of your gifts.
    Thank you guys and gals all again for communicating with me and having fun with this. I continue to be amazed at the gifts that people receive, and not just by some of the big dollar amounts, but by the thought and originality that people put into them. It's really great to see a bunch of grown adult pinball fans acting like kids on Christmas morning.
    [quoted image]

    And thank you for organizing all of this!!

    I woke up from nightshift this afternoon and was getting a coffee ready when I heard the doorbell ring. I go to the door and see this outside.

    I look over toward the driveway and see my secret Santa in his car trying to make a quick getaway!

    Should I open or wait?

    The wife wanted to open the gifts.....so who am I to argue right?

    Thanks for the gifts (notso)Secret Santa!!!

    I think I'll turn the playfield into a coffee table for the game room and place my new pinball book on it!!

    Merry Christmas!!

    Quoted from pacmanretro:

    A playfield?!!
    Saw bag and thought sheet of pin glass.
    Is that a Canadian (REAL SUGAR!) Kit Kat??
    You lucky guys up there with your GOOD Nestle products!
    What is the silver canister thing with the snowflake??

    It's a candle that smells like vanilla.

    And that kitkat is the real deal. If you like Canadian Nestle products you'd go crazy for Vachon cakes and chocolates!

    Like Coffee Crisp! Yum!

    I sent his Canadian care package to a American pinsider friend last year. He and his family enjoyed it

    Quoted from HighVoltage:

    I think you can make it a little more Canadian with the -original- "Old Dutch" ketchup chips. I miss the bacon ones.
    Also Canadian O'Henry >>> American O'Henry... just saying.

    I included a bag of Old Dutch ketchup chips along with a bag of Lays Ketchup chips in this years parcel

    I should ask which one he preferred.

    Quoted from ypurchn:

    Yes. Ketchup lays. My fav thing to do is take regular, greasy, nasty Lays dunk them into some Heinz ketchup. AMAZING.
    how do these Canadien imitations compare?

    We used to do that when I was a kid. My mother would buy cheap regular chips and tell us to just dip them in ketchup.

    Technically not my secret Santa....but I received a parcel from an American pinsider friend. Just thought I'd share the US goodies he sent. What a stand up guy!

    Merry Christmas everyone!!
