Yaktribe secret Santa 2022! Roll up, roll up, get yer names in!

Scandinavians are, as a general rule, extremely un-Catholic. While there's a very solid agnostic majority today, Catholicism has been out since the 1600s at the latest.

Oh I know that, I phrased my post badly. I meant claiming to be Catholic is probably easier than claiming to be Nordic, depending on the person. And acting like you're Catholic while you aren't has been ever popular with people as diverse as holy Roman emperors and several bishops.

I have also now received a mysterious box!! It shall remain untouched until the 25th December. Or 24th December. I’ll see how I feel.

 

[Hawkins44]

My package just arrived to the correct foreign country, so, I expect a delivery to the home address next week.

 

[SuboptimusPrime]

And now I too have received a mysterious package from a faraway land. Or rather, the post office received it and I picked it up today.

 

[Stoof]

I have received a package festooned in lovely YakWrap! The postie dropped it right as she was about to hand it to me, so hopefully it's survived intact 😬

A bit late to the party here, sorry, but I can confirm that I have received a suspicious box in the mail some time ago.

its not ticking is it?

 

[Jon Reinhardt]

May be antrax how knows

 

[SuboptimusPrime]

Ticking anthrax? Huh, thought we'd lost that STC...

 

[GraaEminense]

It does make a slightly clicky noise if I shake it enough... Maybe keep it away from cattle just to be on the safe side.

Oddest one I ever had was from eBay. The sender had reused an old box and stuffed it up with paper to protect the stuff i’d ordered. Then stuck postage labels on.

Postie gave me the oddest look as he handed over the box which was quite clearly labelled as formally containing vaginal speculums. 😳

Quite why the sender chose that box I’ll never know!!

 

[GraaEminense]

I would definitely be reusing that box if I had it laying around.

 

[Gunkaiser]

Mustn't waste a sturdy box that's the right size...

 

[Punktaku]

It’s good not to be pigeonholed into a single hobby. You need to expand your horizons. Spread your wings and fly.

 

[Greenthumb]

I mean if I had to pick a second hobby....I'd defo need the speculums and not just the box 😎🤣🤣🤣

 

[Punktaku]

There’s nothing wrong with exploring new things. Having your fingers in a lot of pies could be the key to happiness.

 

[Sturkas]

After some problems with the post office not sending a notification that I have something to pick up, I finally have my secret santa package.
And we celebrate Christmas the 24th, can't promise that I manage to wait until the 25th 😜😂

 

[radulykan]

Hi, just a quick shout out to see who is still waiting on their gift?

 

[SuboptimusPrime]

I am waiting all right. Waiting to open it! It taunts me every day from its place of honor next to the liquor cabinet.

 

[radulykan]

just dont have too much from the liquor cabinet or yule open it too early
