The temptation may very well overwhelm me. I'll do my best.

Dear Santa,

I want one of those butt plugs with hair on the end so it looks like a tail when you put it in.

Less than three weeks is too early?

obvious santa is obvious

Fucking sweet. Just got my present for my secret santa handled. Not sure of an exact shipping date, but whoever has me, know that I'm on top of it.

Uh Secret Santa doesn't work that way.

This ain't my first rodeo.

Mr. Blonde - I have a message for you from your Santa:

Your gift is on it's way and delivery should be Dec. 12th 2010.

You can track your gift here: http://track.postoffice.co.uk/portal...catId=20700386

Using this tracking number: EE561365842GB

I have a question. Why do you morons provide a tracking number to your Santee? Doesn't the point of origin take away much of the mystery on who your Santa is?

It's not as bad as Seoul, but still pretty telling.

I get the vibe that most don't give a shit about remaining anonymous. That said, I agree that having at least a hint of anonymity makes the entire thing a little more fun. To each his own, I suppose.

How about the process of elimination factor ruining the anonymity for others?

With an estimated delivery date of tomorrow, Repug's gift looks like it's going to be the first to arrive. Don't blow the photo opening ceremony.

Seriously. Watch my camera explode just as I'm taking the picture.

Also, I agree with UB and Gaz. It's called secret santa for a reason. There has to be that anonymity, otherwise we're just a bunch of dudes buying presents for each other.

Jesus when you say it like that it sounds gay. The strap on you got was totally heterosexual.

omgomgomgomgomgomgomg!!!!!!! My secret Santa gift just arrived, and has found a warm, safe home beneath my electronic tree.

It's a hefty sucker - I'd guess 10 pounds or so. Definitely excited. Thanks, secret Santa! (Although his name is right on the package, so it's not so secret).

I didn't know the tracking info was going to be public. But I never told Santa to keep it quiet either so that's my fuck up. It was more in case it got lost and I'm nowhere to be found until January. Didn't want the recipient to think their secret Santa was Shaw redux. Have no idea what was put on the return information. I gave my package to Tim with the instruction: "ground shipping and don't fuck this up. And I want my change." I doubt for some, it would be fairly easy to guess identity from shipping info.

Er, make that easy to figure out. The Seoul postmark would betray the north pole return address.

Isn't Secret Santa via. post kind of impossible?

Seeing as you can see where the package was shipped from when you receive it...

Not if you send it to a friend/family member in a different city and have them send it off.

True. But way too much effort than its worth. Buying online and having shipped to the recipient would probably work.

We can't even get people to send the presents from their house on time.

Yes but as Gaz pointed out, it takes away from the personal aspect which to me, takes away from the quality. I don't want UB or f3lix sending me cash or a gift certificate or something. This is one of those situations where the thought actually counts.

TIL you can only buy cash and gift certificates online.

You can't buy something online and have it shipped to your santee?

Of course we can. I was just making fun of IM for saying that online items (of which he somehow drew a correlation of only cash [?] or gift certificates) make gifts extremely less personable.
