Yes, that's nearly how I felt... although tears of happiness were involved ;D

All right, I've finally caught up with all of the posts made since Momo started handing out presents.

What an amazing amount of wonderful people we have here on our forums, and I have a special story to share. I heard it on the radio yesterday, and it made me think of all of you. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did ♥

A Christmas Story for GOG's Finest

I hopped on the computer whilst I waited for sis to get here to share Christmas with us, and saw my Secret Santa presents. I was so stunned that I forgot to look and see who sent them! That moment alone would have made my Christmas, but then my day really started. Everyone was so very happy... Such a great day!

Merry Christmas to you all~!

A huge thanks to my Secret Santa! Looking forward to a real internet connection (currently tethered to my phone) to download and play them. What a great dilemma..........which to play first. ;-)

Another huge thanks to Momo and all the elves. What a nice way to spread some extra Christmas cheer!

Thanks to all who participated, I hope you enjoy/enjoyed the holidays!

After havin my round with the relatives I found my socks almost bursting from the gifts.

Thank you my Secret Santa, you really made me some great gifts - more then ever expected.
I will really enjoy this silent days to have time for gaming.
Thanks to Momo for your time and efforts to make such a wonderful community party happen.
And of course thanks to all elves and secret santas (also the secret secret ones)
in the best community ever on this side of the universe.
May everyone of you have great holidays full of joy to infect also non-goglodytes to the cheerfulness!

A massive, massive thanks to my Santa, Momo and the many elves! For my great gifts, and also for running this whole thing which has given many people a lot of festive gifts and fun!

I got an absolutely amazing set of games and I can't wait to start playing them!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! :D

Thank you very much to my Secret Santa for those games, I was so happy to receive them, it feels great to be gifted :)!!

I had forgotten about this until I logged in to check Gog's weekend promo. Thanks very much to my Secret Santa!

And a special thank you to Momo and the elves who helped make this event happen! Kudos to you all!

I don't own it. I played it a lot when a friend got it on Humble Bundle. It was great, but I had already burned myself out at that point. I know I shouldn't expect myself to be awesome, but with all Civs since the 1st I've struggled at difficulties higher than normal (Prince?).

I'm not sure you would consider me equally as qualified to drive this heavy sleigh, but if you or nmillar do not want to run this next year, then I will gladly give it a go and continue this lovely tradition. I've always wanted my own reindeers :-).

Of course, if you were not hosting the event next year, you would have to join in as a regular Secret Santa, and let someone gift you something for a change :-).

Before CiV, I thought I'll never play any Civilization game above Prince myself, but look at me now (Not much to see, just a fucked up masochist, I should really stop playing Deity for good, this is torture! XD).

Sweet! A volunteer!! ;-D

~does happy dance in anticipation of handing over stinky reindeers ;-p

^^Everybody please +1 this post by ddickinson! :-D

After the awesome boys/girls-giveaways I could not imagine many people more worthy hosting this wonderful tradition.

Thank you, but I think you give me too much credit. There are many people on here more worthy to keep this wonderful tradition going than me. I am simply offering my service if the previous Super Santas don't want to run it next Christmas. If someone else better suited or more preferred offers to do it then I'm okay with that.
