Secret s/a/nta

I used zenmarket to buy presents, they bought all the things I wanted except for a pack of sweets which was marked as awaiting approval, I waited 3 days and then changed it for some different set. This time they bought it within few hours, but it hasn't been delivered to their warehouse for another 3 days now and I still can't ship my shit from Japan just because I wanted to give my anon some dagashi

I can't believe November is almost over

There's a big convoluted rabbit hole surrounding that. Basically still nothing, though business groups are calling on the government to implement back-to-work legislation. The problem is that the government is now essentially in lockdown because the Liberals are embroiled in a multi-layered series of corruption scandals and cannot advance legislation unless they comply with evidence gathering requests, which they're refusing to do. So political intervention is basically completely logjammed.

I have posted your cards out! You should expect them... you should expect them! I sent the Santa's the tracking, albiet a bit later than I said I would!

LMK from UK I've got your gifts, I just need to wrap them and make your card
S of UK Gonna make your card and have it send 1st class by the 1st of December

Gift

DS from SC, most of your gifts are here, waiting for the last few to arrive then I'll wrap and mail them.

Cards

M from CA, BN from Mexico, JH from OK, GP from VA, WH from TX, KZ from Canada, JK from OH, ID from CA, and AM from FL, your cards are mailed out as of 2 days ago and will get there when they get there. KM from GA your card is finished but not mailed yet.

Whitelists

NC from CA, I was working on your card literally right 5 minutes ago until my computer froze and I had to restart it, completely losing all progress I made on your art so I'm starting from scratch... DO from NY and KN from Canada, you both are next.

Homocards

BR from CA, TM from CA, and both MK from Canada: I haven't started yet :^)

IB from Italy
ADoG from Spain
RL from VA
JS from MO

Your cards are all done and ready to mail out but unfortunately they might be late due to Canada Post shenanigans. I looked into other shipping alternatives like Fedex and UPS and mailing out just letters was estimated to cost me around 30$ each to the USA and over 100$ for each international. Apologies but I can't justify spending that much so I'll be waiting for the mail to resume, whenever that might be. Your cards are most likely going to be late, again, I apologize. It's frustrating for me as well since I put a lot of time on your cards but I have no idea on what else to do.

In Toronto?

Post my initials PLEASE

MK of AB
I've ordered your stuff. I'm very excited to have you as my secret santa, I recognize you and your posts each year. I've got some things I'm really excited to do for you this year. Prepare to be spoiled!
Also, sorry for making you wait until now to post your initials in the thread. I've been bogged down by some group projects from hell. Thank god the semester is over in two weeks

[SPOILER]ARP[/SPOILER]from[SPOILER]Spain[/SPOILER]
[SPOILER]S[/SPOILER]from[SPOILER]PA[/SPOILER]

Your cards have been shipped out and have gone through customs. Expect to get them soon.

I have made spoiler mistakes too so I'm not going to point and laugh, but consider using 4chanX or something similar to make it easier. I hope your anons like your cards!

Get ready for lots of chocolate! and waiting.

WA of MD
Your gift will be sent out tomorrow I had to fix something on it real quick. Apologies for the slight delay.

All of your cards were posted this morning and should be arriving to you soon hopefully!

If my anons handmade gift uses a Li-po battery but I am unable to ship one due to shipping regulations, should I contact them through the Santa's and tell them to purchase one? I'm worried it would spoil too much of the gift and also it is fully functional from usb power

In a case like this, it would probably be okay to order one off amazon and ship it directly to anon's house. Include a gift message explaining the situation and try to sync up the delivery dates if possible.

just put some money in the gift and tell them to buy one with it

My money will be useless in their country anon
I'm too dumb to navigate different language amazon

Kurisumasu bump

My cards are done but I'm not shipping them until the first week of December.

Page 10

Everyone must be busy working on their cards!

Absolutely.

I have no motivation.
This time last year, I was almost done.
I haven't even completed a single card yet.
I deserved to get grinched.
Santa is not real.

If I'm one of your card anons and I don't get a card from you I'm going to be really upset.

I will never forgive myself for the pain I caused you today and 4 weeks from now.

Reimu and Remilia are my favorites. Could also consider their companions Marisa and Flan if you wanted more options.
Or if you find those boring and you're feeling adventurous you could select your choice of any PC-98hu.

Still waiting on card materials from japan...

Another year of killing my hand over and done with. I wonder where they're all going, though? :^)

Seriously I have no idea, nothing is budging with this strike so far

Just go to walmart or joahnn's fabrics what the fuck

DO of NY

That’s me! Merry Christmas anon!

Are you the Aisha clan clan anon? I got a card from you one year and really liked it.

I finished all the character art so coloring those are next and then I'll finally be able to construct cards. Should be sending out postcards before the end of the month so my anons know they won't be getting grinched and cards/gift will be arriving before Xmas!!

my worst fear is that I goof and ship all my cards to the addresses of other cards and mess up who they were supposed to go to

I'm always paranoid about that and recheck the cards multiple times before I seal them.

Just finished both your cards. Going to deposit them in the post box within the next few hours.

You know, I forgot that I'm leaving the country for a week at the beginning of December, and I am now starting to feel the pressure of all my cards. I'll get them finished, don't get me wrong, but man is it a lot..... I believe the last of my shipments is coming in the end of November, so I believe I should still be game to get everything out before I leave.

I finished 12 cards in 2 weeks by sacrificing my sleep schedule you can do it anon

JH of GA, I'm still waiting on what is to be to be shipped to me.
VM of the Czech Republic, I mailed your mail to you this past week.

And my homo MK of Canada, I also sent your mail this past week. So even with a strike, I imagine it'll get to you before Kurismasu,

No tracking yet
I've surely been grinched

I've got all of the sketches done, and I've inked 8 of the drawings so far. I've only got 6 more to go for drawing, then it's just a matter of getting the rest of my paper done and writing all th cards. We are not yet in "it's not gonna work out" territory, so I think we're still doing alright

I was going to spend my upcoming week off doing all of your cards. Regrettably I'm going to lose almost that entire week traveling across the country for a funeral. I'm bringing all my supplies in the hopes I can get some work done, but I might not be able to start until I get back home at the end of the month.

Anon I hope it's ok I'm reading the Mount Hua webtoon instead of trying that MTL scamsite that has the novel. It's just awkward because of course they romanise all the names differently and it'll take me 50 chapters before I realise I've been staring at the guys you mentioned this whole time.

I feel like you've been posting this for weeks. Just fuck him at this point. If he's your gift anon contact the Santa's

I've been half way done with my cards for a while now but haven't felt compelled to properly finish them ever since I found out about the postal service strike...

I'm hand delivering yours. I'll share my location on google maps so you know how close I am.

Hayai!

You are already tracked.

JH of GA

Thanks for the update. Still in a similar situation for my anon too.

Santas sent me a tracking number

To whoever's sending a gift to Australia from Japan, I'm eagerly anticipating your gift.

BoR of NY still waiting on some stuff, but should hopefully get your stuff sent out sometime next week.
You didn't respond here or to the Santas, so hopefully you're not getting any dupes.

That's me
It's a box full of funko pops
You have no idea how hard those things are to get in Japan
Enjoy

I had fun with your card in particular. Please post it when you get it. You'll know it's mine because it'll be a party.

Are they at least the good funkos?

Probably not dude I just got the cheapest shit I could find

You're an absolute monster, anon, but I respect the hustle.

Can't say I've ever gotten a card before Thanksgiving. I wait until Christmas to open mine, but of course I'll post it. Glad that you had fun making it!

one part of the gift hasn't been shipped yet

At what point can I start worrying?

MARM from Mexico, your gift has been shipped.

I forgot to talk about this show goddamnit

good funkos

I did it. I finally finished 1 (one) card. It doesn't even look bad. The hands even look good (I drew them myself.)

There actually are a few that are genuinely good since the soulless blank eyes work with them. There was a Mimikyu one released a little bit ago that they did right.

I mailed some cards this week, but frankly I don't think you lot deserve any initials. They should arrive before Christmas, though. Except the one going to Canada. I'm sorry, I have no idea when it's going to arrive

So USPS/Fedex/UPS/Any Given Courier service is fine to ship with? In Asheville we have UPS still treating us like a disaster area but Fedex and USPS aren't

waiii~

anon's gift

arrived

snacks

bought

snow

fallen
100% CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE

Would it be in bad taste to include reindeer meat with the gift?

If it were me I'd be fine with it, but you might want to ask if they have allergies/dietary restrictions/objections to eating certain kinds of animals.

send the rudolph meat

I'll be waiting for your card!

BN of Mexico
AC of IN
I mailed your cards yesterday.
And now that the card work is all done, we wait for something to happen.

but saar it's the dalits ruining canada, sikhs are bro tier

Can't wait to see your card anon. Ctrl+S next time my friend.

haven't started either of my cards

RUH ROH

I shall expect the card

This year I made sure to write he message one at a time, and when done, seal the envelope as soon as I was done

I will stop procrastinating that one last card today.

So we probably get handful of cards posted this weekend, and then a deluge next week, right? I believe Anons are smart enough to not procrastinate that much, right?

WHERE ARE MY GODDAMN INITIALS

Start right now you lazy motherfucker.

NTA, but I sent you a card the other day. Can't guarantee it'll arrive before Christmas, but it is coming, one day. I usually don't do card initials but I figured I should at least let you know, considering the situation

There does seem to be a drought of cards this year. I was looking through my pics from last year and saw that I had already sent a card and had it posted by now.

and then a deluge next week

Probably. It's always around the first week of December when cards start being posted more frequently. God I hope my anons won't hate my cards.

I don't post cards until kurisumasu

That's annoying and inconsiderate for everyone involved. The thread will already be full of people opening gifts.

I wait to open cards until December 7th

I will never open the cards because Anons always bully me. I just keep the sealed envelopes

I will open the cards but I won't post them.

I will not accept cards before Christmas

I won't open the cards, but I will post them.

But I would never bully anyone.

If only Kircheis was here to open cards with us.

All of the gifts for my anon have arrived now but I had to collect them from my building's office since someone needed to sign for them. This might be a problem since JD isn't my real name but I should be able to explain stuff with a tracking number. If you've not sent it yet, it might be better to address it to 'the occupant'
Cards probably won't be an issue because signed for letters have shown up in my pigeon hole before and I'm pretty sure they just go off the room number.

Thank you, anon. I eagerly await it! I'll try my best to get yours out before the last posting date. I've still got a couple of cards left to draw before I get them printed.

I don't know what this is about but am in.Is Greece included?

No

holy shit. anon posted my initials.im very exited!

Oh I meant like stickers and shit for the card from anon's wishlist

Looks nice!

Thank you, I can't wait to see what you chose!

Alright works with me. I have three more cards to do. So I'm planning to ship all the cards the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Anyone else checking tracking every 10 minutes despite knowing perfectly well that nothing will change for at least a few days?

At least you won't have a national holiday in few weeks that stops mail
