Well, I finally found the time to open the box that arrived for me earlier in the week. I thought it was a box of comics from mycomicshop that I ordered because Canada Customs nailed me for $17...I always have to pay customs fees on mycomicshop orders.

But lo and behold, it was a box from my Secret Santa! Upon opening it, numerous presents were present (pun intended).

Check out the quality of the gift-wrap, quality of the ribbon and the professional job of gift-wrapping. I have never seen gifts so painstakingly wrapped so that no flaws in the paper, ribbing, etc. are showing. And look at the way the wrapping is folded over...never seen this before either.

If my Secret Santa took this much time and effort to wrap my gifts, I can't wait to see what they are. Looking forward to opening them.

An early "thank you and Merry Christmas" to my Secret Santa!

Where you present when the presents where presented to you, in what at that time would be the present day?

and also can the sender vouch that all presents are present and accounted for?

My wrapping looks like a drunk caveman did compared to some of these. I really need to step up my game.

:applause: lots of great wrapping jobs! I need to do better on mine, just went with the traditional paper. 

Good Christmas Eve morning Jon - your wrapping was perfectly fine!

Thank you very much for the wonderful Doctor Strange books from the MP run and from his own title. And a special thank you for the DS graphic novel (had not read that before) and the beautiful Thor 199 picture frame cover. These books will most certainly fill a few holes and upgrade a few beaters.

My family opened our gifts yesterday. When your own kids are in their late 20s, and have significant others, juggling family Christmases is a coordinated effort!

I wish you and your family a restful and peaceful Christmas, as well as a New Year filled with hope. And to all the Boardies who participated this year in the Gift Exchange, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I look forward to doing this again next year.

I open my secret Santa gift on Christmas eve since Christmas day is too nutty in this house. Beautiful wrapping job by @mytastebud and some great war books waiting within. I'm excited to read that Enemy Ace hardcover.

Resharing here, as now maybe people have time to watch the video, but

Will also just put a pic of the haul by @grendelbo in spoiler, as it was his first Gift Exchange experience and he knocked it out of the park!

Can't wait to see what you get Bo and Merry Christmas 🙏

Spoiler for those who don't have time to watch the ten minute video ^^

Well said Tim, I'm glad I hit the mark on these but you made it super easy with the list. I'm looking forward to opening mine perhaps tonight. :whee:

Merry Christmas to all!
