Wonderful videos and gifts... such a great idea thank you for organizing this Dr DTVT

I'll be in the USA for 2 weeks, starting tomorrow. So I guess my video will have to wait as I haven't got my present yet.

Implode · « **Reply #142 on:** December 20, 2016, 11:09:31 AM »

Amazing gifts, everyone! I love watching these videos every year.

FYI, I am leaving town on the evening of the 22nd. If my package doesn't arrive before then, I won't be getting in until the 27th or 28th. So yeah.

Your SS sent me the tracking number. I don't know what the hell is up with the USPS, but it was sent on the 12th, and is now listed as "delayed". Considering your SS lives in the continental US and not Siberia, I don't know what to say other than "Thanks Obama." I asked your SS to call and bitch.

Other people I have information for:

Adami - Yours will not get there by the 25th, but should arrive during Hanukkah. Kind of fitting for you. It's a cross country trek.

Chino - Yours should get there on the 23rd.

ProgSnob - Should arrive by the 21st.

Hannukah starts the 24th.

Forever alone!

Got my gift a few days ago, but I've been pretty busy and had a gnarly cold. I decided to do something a little different than just opening it at my place, where it was nice and warm. I figured a little cheesy tour of Prague from the subway where I live to about 20 minutes to where I actually opened the package. I had my girlfriend Marci carry the package and I filmed around it. First time shooting video with my new Canon 5D Mark IV. I didn't shoot in 4k because I didn't want to be screwed editing massive files right now, but the 1920x1080 res looks pretty decent.

Anyway, enjoy! And thanks for the gift! This entire secret Santa process has been pretty fun.

I just checked this one out, awesome video!

Aythesryche, your video was amazing! And so is your girlfriend's coat.

Also this

Scorpion · « **Reply #147 on:** December 21, 2016, 09:05:32 AM »

My gift was in two parts, presumably, because I got one part of it and filmed a video of me opening it, but the other one was too big for my mailbox, so it was given to the neighbour, who isn't in at the moment. I'll post both videos once I've gotten my hands on the bigger package and opened that one as well.

Elite · « **Reply #148 on:** December 21, 2016, 09:19:08 AM »

I wanna visit Prague now.

I really have to think of something special to do with my video to top that one

splent · « **Reply #149 on:** December 21, 2016, 10:57:12 AM »

I wonder if my SS got their present.

cramx3 · « **Reply #150 on:** December 21, 2016, 11:48:39 AM »

Just watched the recent load of videos

Nick... nice Christmas lights and well interesting gifts. Did the SS make those covers him/her self? Looked pretty good haha

Ben.... yea very nice Mr Hankey impersonation

Jackie... it seems fitting you got toilet paper since it looks like you got some sitting on your couch already

also I like your framed picture of what looks like two cats on your wall.

Gary... nice to see your boys excited for the DTF SS

On a side note, I haven't received anything yet and given Dr DTVTs last update, I am wondering if I should be concerned since I wasn't listed.

SwedishGoose · « **Reply #151 on:** December 21, 2016, 12:14:49 PM »

I will not be shooting any video unfortuntely as the package got lost in transit.

I want to thank my Secret Santa for the gifts anyway. Have been listening to the two CDs on Spotify and they are excellent. I wonder why they were not in my collection before....

Katatonia - Dethroned & Uncrowned (wonderfully atmospheric acoustic)
Amorphis - Circus (Dark and heavy with folk influences)

Both are right up my alley so thanks for the great selections.

Not everyone keeps me up to date or gives me a tracking number. I just happened to have those and ones that were already delivered.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #153 on:** December 21, 2016, 03:42:13 PM »

I finally watched all the videos. Fantastic presents. Mason. I want to see you with those tassels on. Giggity.

bout to crash · « **Reply #154 on:** December 21, 2016, 06:44:30 PM »

Agreed

Yeah cram, I threw that TP on the couch a couple days ago and couldn't be bothered to put it away. Bachelor life

And yes, those are my pussies

Scorpion · « **Reply #155 on:** December 22, 2016, 07:26:09 AM »

Got the second part of my present as well! I'm currently uploading the video to YT, I'll share the link when that's done.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #156 on:** December 22, 2016, 07:39:50 AM »

Implode should get his gift today, ans Splent's might be in today as well.

Scorpion · « **Reply #157 on:** December 22, 2016, 10:22:32 AM »

Video coming up shortly.

Seeing the videos and my present makes me know how to do this thing properly and I will do so next year. Again sorry for coming up WAYYYYYY short to my SS.

That kind of thing happens. I doubt anyone could do worse than my first year doing this.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #162 on:** December 22, 2016, 03:50:31 PM »

I got my package. Giggity. I will not open it until next week. Pre production right now with filming next week.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #163 on:** December 22, 2016, 05:37:58 PM »

Spencer, frame that album and put it on the wall!!

Chino · « **Reply #164 on:** December 23, 2016, 06:06:52 PM »

Got my package today! Will be doing an unboxing tomorrow !

Implode · « **Reply #165 on:** December 24, 2016, 09:14:48 AM »

My package hasn't arrived yet, but I'm not going to be worried until a few more days pass.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #166 on:** December 26, 2016, 07:02:43 PM »

Chino and Prog Snob have their gifts. They must have gotten coal.

The USPS didn't deliver Monday - lazy bums. Don't panic if you didn't get anything today.

Adami · « **Reply #167 on:** December 27, 2016, 06:48:15 PM »

Just got mine, uploading video to youtube. God damn am I weird on camera. And apparently I need to lose like 20 pounds. Thanks self-body shaming!

Video coming soon.

Thanks so much to my Secret Santa for the awesome robe. One might say it is fit for a king!

King Postwhore · « **Reply #169 on:** December 27, 2016, 07:01:05 PM »

So some jerk forgot to send the letter with the present then the moderator of this thread got a copy and forgot to send that picture of that letter. Jerks.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #170 on:** December 27, 2016, 08:32:52 PM »

I just sent it to him on Facebook. Adami, look through your filtered messages since we aren't FB friends.

Still waiting on some people who I know have packages to post...

Adami · « **Reply #171 on:** December 27, 2016, 08:35:38 PM »

Got it. Loved the letter, wish I could have read it on camera.

Maybe I'll include it when I do this next year.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #172 on:** December 27, 2016, 08:39:38 PM »

That secret Santa is mad at himself.

Thanks for pointing that out (and Mason for the friendly reminder via PM). I was away for the last few days, but it should be viewable now.

Chino · « **Reply #174 on:** December 28, 2016, 07:46:50 AM »

Great vids everyone! Here's mine.

Disclaimer to my SS: I totally fucked up opening your gift

However, I absolutely love it and I hope the "pt2" video makes up for my impatience.
