PH Secret Santa 2022 - Times are hard!
Discussion
M1K3
Santa was on top of his game this year and was able to source your gifts and mail them in record time. He sincerely hopes that the postal staff in the Philippines don't share the same exemplary work ethic that their Royal Mail counterparts in the UK do, and the package will arrive on time.
You are more than welcome to open the card ahead of the big day. Santa couldn't squeeze as much glitter in the envelope as he wanted, so you should be good opening it inside your house.
Si Santa ay nasa water tower kasama ang kanyang mga binocular na naghihintay sa pagdating ng package. Huwag mag-atubiling mag-iwan ng mga angkop na pampalamig sa ibaba ng hagdan ng tore.
Hi Santa!!
Just to confirm, my herpes did in fact deliver the goodies, through the medium of leaving it down the side of the house and not leaving any kind of notification! I am sad to say I have been a bit distracted at work, but the Mrs found and delivered the package to my office!!
Beer advent calendar!!
And on day one, I have a glass, scratchcard (£10 off an order!) and Tropical Brainstorm Hazy Pale Ale
So tonight, once the day is done, I will retire to my office and smash through days 1-4!!
Cheers Santa, has really made my day!

Geeks, your present has been despatched with the red and gold post and parcel people today - you will recognise the package as it looks like something seen frequently on Banged Up Abroad when ferrying chemicals of illicit nature.
Don't worry though! All is well! Feel free to open the outer wrappings, everything is individually wrapped inside!
Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal!

PSA (Pistonheads Santa Announcement) Don't think it's been mentioned here, but anything other than posting-in-plenty-of-time this year could result in sad faces, rather than chilli-fisted faces.
Royal Mail, for example, are saying the last day for guaranteed postage 1st class this year is.........16th December! It's normally about 21st.
You have been warned!

In true PHSS style it looks like I am going to ignore my victims (sparse!) details and just buy them something that I really really want for myself 
Is it useful? No
Is it appropriate? Probably not
But I do bloody like it
The only question is, do I buy regular, Large or XX Large…
Bigger is ALWAYS better lolIs it useful? No
Is it appropriate? Probably not
But I do bloody like it

Don't think in terms of 'large' or 'extra large' you need to select the gift based on how much it will make their eyes water or how long it effects their ability to walk straight after use.
Unless I'm the victim in which case go sub micron on the sizing...

Santa, the red and gold delivery agent has been and gone.
My package (oh-er) as presented to me
Upon removing the outer layer the K-9 unit showed a high level of interest
K-9 unit continues checking of gifts while under tree
Finally my gifts are unmolested (I had a quick peek at the present tags, very good )
SS you also top points for being the first gifts under our new tree and our new home we moved into earlier this year!

I do hope whoever has the wooden box with padlocks/ lock picking set uses it to send on this year. 
After 30+ years as a precision engineer I look at everything with a 'how quickly can I achieve the desired result' attitude. So either bolt croppers, angle grinder or smashing it to bits with a log splitting axe
