Following EG Secret Santa, 2014 Page 12

    I'll say a few things about the EG Secret Santa present I received.  The book is bound by a cheap plastic-like cover and the pages are printed on cheap newspaper type paper.  The card that came with it was cheap and did not contain any kind of written Christmas greeting, instead it says, "From EG representative of Santa".  The envelope the card was in is addressed to "(my name) and family", in capital letters.

    Quite literally the most thoughtless, inappropriate and horrible Christmas gift I have ever received.

    That is all.

    Just to thank my Secret Santa one more time regarding my gifts. This is the bib he got for my son.

    Obviously they thought you would like it, and would find it funny. It's only a secret Santa, it's just a bit of fun. Don't get so worked up over it!

    It's not Christmas without a grinch, I guess. =)

    Considering the contents of your secret santa, isn't that all quite fitting? Lol

    A massive thank you to my EGSS - I got a wonderful collection of pressies, including a Nerf Gun, a Lego Technic Set, Jaffa Cakes, CPU-Wars top trumps-type game and loads of sweets!!

    I spent a very enjoyable evening building the Lego digger :D

    Some quality stalking there from my SS, but I'm not quite so sure about the My Little Pony top trumps... Mrs F_P is pleased with them though :)

    Could have been worse, at least it wasn't a colon snake!

    Thread needs more pics btw

    The puzzle's went down a storm at Rasputin HQ yesterday, the right level of fun and infuriating (unless you ask my bro who would just say infuriating) and the Christmas socks were proudly warn all day. Thanks so much EG SS :)

    My secret Santa present is awesome, although it does make me feel totally inadequate as a Lego builder!

    So inspiring! Thank you!

    How could I forget to mention the excellent Christmas Card my Santa sent - it's a tube map Christmas tree thing. As a frequent user of the underground, I loved it!!

    Edit: this one

    Especially muttler :D

    I imagine him picking it up every so often and leafing through it, shaking with rage before putting it down again.

    /checks who sent muttler's gift

    Hmm. Doesn't seem like someone who'd stir up trouble.

    Ah! Maybe it's due to me sending Fruit Salad everyone's addresses last year.*











    *Not really **














    ** You hope.

    Thanks so much to my secret Santa for my 3d Anfield jigsaw. Incredibly silly, but also pretty damn cool. I'll put up some pictures when I get the chance to assemble it!

    @ibenam
    It wasn't me. If we're fessing up (I know bennyw01 is still waiting for his gift, but I'm looking into that), I sent Flying_Pig's parcel.

    Sadly, the 'My Little Pony' Top Trumps was the first thing I bought!
    Still - glad to know Mrs F_P liked them!
    :o)

    Come then, fess up. Who sent muttler his big book of racism? :D

    I wonder if it's like the babbadook. muttler keeps ripping it up and throwing it out in the rubbish bin, setting it on fire, etc, but the next day it's back on his bookshelf.
