Secret Santa gift arrived! I will wait to open until closer to Christmas!! Thank you!
Also, waiting to ship out my secret Santa gift since it’s taking longer to arrive… apparently it was shipped Royal Mail and I didn’t pay attention but should be here well before the shipping deadline.

Remember, this goes for everyone too, just because one package showed up doesn't mean there might be additional ones so please continue to keep your eyes out for anything else that may show up.
I spent some time in my gameroom over the holiday and realized how much the Secret Santa's over the last several years have contributed to a special space within my home. From wall decor, artwork, mods etc. Some noticable to guests and others pinball things only I know about. I appreciate every one of them.
London
Mine arrived!!!!!!!
so my wife got this morning and she unpacked it for me she wouldn’t tell me where it’s from but the chocolate might be a clue!
To my secret Santa you made my day today I won’t open the gifts until Christmas Day and will post more photos then but thank you thank you thank you!
Well, I had some postal stress (i.e. I was wondering if one of my gifts would appear in time), but I got the package with one of the gifts for my pinsider today. All main gifts are in the house, so almost ready for shipment!
Message for my SS: I hope you have enough details, considering that I am not the most active poster. I did post a story with some details and I don't mind to get something unexpected. For all those people that are having difficulty finding proper information to get a decent pinball gift -> bare in mind that most of us are used to getting pinball related gifts from non pinball people. This usually means that you will end up with the same common stuff that pops up on the first google search. Getting something from another pinhead is already a win from that perspective!
Chinchillas and chocolate are a good reason to open the shipping box when you get it. Smell each wrapped gifty ,just in case.
Quoted from amkoepfer:I am floored. Absolutely floored. More to come once my jaw is scraped off the ground
Share!!! What did you recieve?
People already getting theirs, I’m still waiting for my final piece to ship to me. Some of these Santa’s are on it!
Quoted from Hayfarmer:Share!!! What did you recieve?
My guess is a NIB.
I think there is always at least one per year.
Quoted from Kkoss24:From his expression he might have received twins!
Might have only been one when it left.

That naughty letter was from me not your santa
Ok, my jaw is scraped up. I got a call today from fedex asking for a delivery date for something from flip n out pinball weighing 330 lbs. I did not order anything. After talking to zach, it is a game. I am trupey humbled and just incredibly grateful for whomever my santa is. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My family thanks you, puffdanny thanks you since he will play it a lot. This has been a very tough year for me, i have worked 7 nights a week, 12 hour shifts for 10 months. I havent had time to enjoy life or my pinballs. Now that is coming to a close i guarantee i will be enjoying this along with my other games. I have no idea what game it is, but have my suspicions. It will be delivered saturday and of course i work, so it may take me a couple days to get it unboxed and pics, but more pics and posts will follow! Thank you to this community, you are all great.

I wondered if there would be a Secret Santa pinball this year.
It appears he is alive and well. And generous, again.
Could happen to a nicer Pinsider and family.
Who ever you are Secret Santa. Thank you very much ! You really evoke the spirit of Christmas.

This sounds like my year! You weren’t working on the oil spill in KS were you? That would be crazy. Looks like it all worked out in the end. Hopefully some well earned rest and playtime is in the future. Congrats!

Google told me the average chinchilla is 1-1.5 pounds. That's a LOT of chinchillas 
That's like 300 new mouths to feed

Quoted from amkoepfer:Sounds like a lot of new pets! Cant wait to name them!
If they are a mix of males and females. You are going to reenact the Star Trek "The Trouble with Tribles" episode.
LTG : )

WoW that's awesome dude

Yikes dude. Makes me Thankful for being on night shift. I've been working non stop as well, but at least we only do 6.5 hour shifts. Rumor is we're going to three 12 hour day work weeks in January. I'm kinda looking forward to having multiple days off every week.
Anyhow, congrats on the new acquisition! What an honor to behold. Maybe it'll be from the newest run of Stranger Things!
Thank you Andy's secret santa. Andy rarely plays without me so I'll get as much use out of his gift as he does.

I was just out in the pinbarn getting a spot ready, and played a few games on foo and whirlwind, so i do play without you, just usually play sober unless youre here.
Quoted from FLASHBALL:Yikes dude. Makes me Thankful for being on night shift. I've been working non stop as well, but at least we only do 6.5 hour shifts. Rumor is we're going to three 12 hour day work weeks in January. I'm kinda looking forward to having multiple days off every week.

Way back when while pounding nails we went to 4/10s and weather make ups on Friday. We were all so happy so they stopped it.
Waiting on the last gift to get here, then I’ll be sending it all off on the sleigh. I’m very happy with my Inspector Klusoe work this year. I definitly upped my game. Might have a few little sprinkles also I’ll have to see.
Quoted from amkoepfer:My family thanks you, puffdanny thanks you since he will play it a lot.
