Quoted from Saltimbanco:Just would like to share that Christmas means Pinside Secret Santa in my household. But also means a bunch of Hallmark Holiday movies to watch. Help anyone?!! Just had to watch Undercover Holiday.. wowie.. even by Hallmark's standards, this was a crappy one! The things we do to keep a girlfriend happy!
Anyone in the same boat as I am, at least you know you're NOT alone! Lol
Edited: my girlfriend also likes pinballs and arcades, so that's a small price to pay I guess!

I Hear you! When my daughter is home, her and the wife have them on constantly. Also a few from Ion too!

Wait, what list is that? Die Hard FTW.
Then don't forget Elf! 
Quoted from dnapac:My turn!!! My Santa hit it out of the park! Great stalking! Have a long road trip to Florida soon. The Dots and fudge will be thoroughly enjoyed. Sinder (our cat) loves the treats, and the “Play Pinball” sign will look great in the mancave.
The 2016 signed and numbered Pinball at the Zoo poster is getting framed.
The Spooky neon…not sure how this one was pulled off. When my wife and I picked up Halloween, Luke was showing us around the new place. There was a Spooky Pinball neon on the wall…with the ghost…she said “I want that!” I told her it was probably custom for the shop. And then my Santa did this! It’s going in the house by 3 of the Spooky’s…to good for the mancave!
Thanks SS!!! What incredibly generous gifting!!! [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Thank you so much to whoever sent me this, I will do my best to adhere to the letter and open one gift a day leading up to Christmas, I will update on here also each day what I open.
What a great idea and I am beyond grateful for the time and effort that someone put in to do this, you have made an adventure for my kids and I.
Thank you again!

Cool bottle opener!
I have to hand it to Santa ,I’ve been looking into Lit Frames for some wall art in our game room area but this here is above and beyond what I was thinking about and the 2 prints are absolutely killer !! I can’t thank you enough Santa I will be back yet again after I get this up but right now My wife is calling us up as her famous Chile is ready to warm us up .

Got a Secret Santa package in the mail today! Got a few different things, a Lego minifig Rawlf with what I think is Beethoven. A couple of Pinball tools, which I don't really have any of apart from Novus. A comic that is one side Batman and one side Amethyst who is apparently the Princess of gemworld! Also some Silverball Chronicles Memorabilia which I'll be honest, I've never heard of before but I will be sure to become an avid listener of as they appear to be a pinball podcast.

It was amazing to work with your secret Santa on this custom project. Happy to answer any questions you may have about the frame or remote control. Looks right at home with your Godzilla machine.
I am not sure about where to hang it quite yet .So I found it a temporary home .Very , very pleasing to look at .Brings such a cool vibe to the room .Pictures do not do this justice .Great work by Lit Frames! Thank You again for making Christmas extra special . I’m real happy to be in this fun group and I cannot wait to see my “person” open they’re gift .Its been fun watching everyone act like kids again and we’re far from done Merry Christmas to All !

Man those lit frames are cool.
I have two backglasses (Bad Cats and Galaxy) I still need to figure out how to display. Eventually...
I received the first (of 2 the note said) from my SS
He lives a whopping 12 minutes from FIL who recently moved 3 hours from our hometown. Small world.
The cigars were repacked with a Boveda but they will be good to go in 1-2 weeks. Nice touch doing a mild-medium-bold sampler! I spend more time on pinside talking cigars than I do pinball these days.
And I also got a pinball machine and some DOTS12F3D923-C8E2-47E4-A23A-C9BC3DC6C486 (resized).jpeg793CB480-7B56-46E1-A298-78C1111DD703 (resized).jpeg

A THIRD PINBALL MACHINE HAS LANDED! Outstanding!
Hell, that's a nice single SS gift, let alone part 1 of 2. Good stuff.

I have that pinball machine too and it's actually better than the Data East version it's modeled after.
Hello secret Santa, I did receive my gift, it's under the tree, I'll be waiting for Christmas to open it!

Where can i get that iron maiden stool?!?!?!
Quoted from amkoepfer:Where can i get that iron maiden stool?!?!?!
There's even a table to go with them. $120 each on eBay.

One of the best pinball podcasts out there! Go back and listen to every episode. It's a ~monthly history of pinball focusing on a designer, artist, or game era. Just fantastic.
Quoted from amkoepfer:Where can i get that iron maiden stool?!?!?!
I got that in last years Secret Santa I think Rockabillia is the name of the company it came from .

Silverball Chronicals is my favorite pinball podcast and theres even a fellow Canadian host on the show so it'll be in your native language eh
Today is the day to ship everything out by. If you can't ship today for some reason, just let me know. Communication is key. For anyone still waiting to receive a gift, don't panic. A TON of people wait to ship until yesterday and today. For some it's because they were waiting on things, for others it is a way to help ensure that their recipient waits until Christmas to open gifts.
...and PLEASE...if your gift(s) have arrived make a quick post to say you got them if you are waiting to open. There are some worried Santas that are afraid porch pirates may have gotten to them first if they don't see a post from you.

Yes please post! I know that my SS received their gift but no post about it yet. Makes me think one of two things, either they never got it, or they got it and were disappointed and didnt care to spend the time to post. Regardless if you are disappointed or not, at least letting people know that you recieved a gift is half of it.
Hope to make my post soon!

i feel ya. i know mine was delivered and they have been on pinside since delivery with no mention of the gifts.......
Keep the hope Secret Santas! Gifts are shipping and many more will post pictures. =)
I'm still waiting as well, my new strategy is to not watch the window so closely lol
Quoted from Pinballlew:OK, just open it you know you are not going to make it to Christmas
Of course I ended up not being able to wait. Thank you so much to my Santa. The Gameroom Guys Wax, Novus 1, Novus 2 and Novus 3 will absolutely be used throughout the coming year! Really cool T-shirt too!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
