Wow, I thought for sure that there would already be a thread here! Oh well! Yes, today is the big day! If you have anything related to this Christmas, post it here, whether that be a funny story, or pictures of your presents. A few weeks ago, I got a PM from the Captain, asking for my address, which was to be used for "nefarious yuletide purposes," and being the suspicious and cynical jerk that I am, I was a little confused and asked him why. I got in response a warning that if I didn't give him the address, something bad would happen. Unsure of his motives, I gave the address with a warning to not use it for evil. Cut to Christmas Eve: the mail comes late that day. In it is an envelope addressed to my username. I open the envelope. The Captain and Del Stimpson sent me a X-Mas card! On the front was Ki and Gil from the Druaga series, which I am a fan of and have posted about in the Gamer's Realm. They have obviously done some research... On the inside cover was a message from them. I am also a casual fan of Dragon Quest, by the way. On the opposite page was a picture of Olha in her bikini. (Warning: This picture turned out much bigger after scanning.) So, I just wanted to share this with you, and publicly thank The Captain and Del Stimpson for their awesome card. It was one of my favorite presents. Merry Christmas!

I'll join the ranks as a recipient of a TOTALLY AWESOME card which I haven't had the chance to scan yet. I'm coveting it, basically. HAH! XD Okay, not quite... but it features things that are awesome: dwarves vs. elves, handwritten message goodness... and (unsurprisingly?) a picture of Hugo Fact for li'l ol' me. Evidently my fandom is just that transparent... You guys are awesome! Thank you again~!! Merry Christmas to ALoY, of course. Hope you all got the stuff you were hoping for~! (So who wants to post their gift lists~?)

I didn't think there'd be a christmas thread and I didn't decide to make one :/ so I just posted my christmas wishes in the spam thread. Also, my thoughts on receiving one of these awesome cards I'm guessing some of you beware of the spam thread, and right fully so... so I'll quote what I said here. Captain and Del, thanks so much for the card. I was pleasantly surprised to receive it yesterday afternoon. It's awesome to get mailed something with my internet name on the package. I love hand made stuff... and this is Lufia related to boot! Actually, the last time I received a Christmas card from anyone was back in Grade 5... so I shall cherish this extra much. and Del, you should do more fan art oh, and Captain, what're NIS games? but I do know we've agreed on much in the past, it's just recently with stuff like Transformers that things didn't work out... anyways, merry Christmas to everyone. I'm hoping everyone here's having happy holidays I don't technically celebrate Christmas, but it's still the best time of year ever... Christmas, new years, winter, the holidays, all of it. I kept wondering who the kid in the trash can was supposed to be. I knew the slime with glasses (hehe) was probably from DQ, and I assumed the kid was from DQ too. But from Arjak's card scans, I'm guessing it's supposed to be The Captain and Del? heh, anyways, these are awesome. I love my Lufia themed card. Gades was the best part of it. I can't believe you haven't done more fanart in the past Del... or did you and I missed them? I remember seeing something in the fanart section once, that's all.

Wow! xDD I love this board. Yeah, first of all Merry Christmas, ALOY members! And since we are also talking about The Captain and Del Stimpson's Christmas letters, so will I. xD Indeed, you guys rule. Agreeing with Inochi, it was just really awesome to receive a package and see my internet name on it. It was very funny when I heard my father suddely saying "Red... Hairdo...?". xD I went out of my room to see what that was about and then my family and I saw and read the letter. xD I also couldn't stop thinking "you guys rule!" for these last few days. That was REALLY cool of you! I thought mine was rather funny. xD In the cover you could see 5 characters (4 humans and a creature) and each came from its own game. All of them were blue-haired and the creature also was totally blue, as opposed to "red-haired". Each character came from each game of each red-haired swordsman that you can see in my sign. XD - Mieu, the blue creature from Tales of the Abyss (Luke fon Fabre's) - Dogi. You know. xDD - Marth, from Fire Emblem and Super Smash Bros. Melee (Roy's) - Magus, from Chrono Trigger (Crono's) - Slayzer, from The Granstream Saga (Eon's). That one surprised me to hell! XDDD He's one character that to know you have to either play the game or do some really "obscure" research. xD Awesome! Inside there were some text, the writing itself. xD I loved what they said. I will scan them all too, just wait. xD Once again, thanks a lot Captain and Del, it was this year's best Chistmas gift. I mean, I don't think there could be anything better. And Merry Christmas once again, to everybody! (side-note: Hurray! Long post! xD)

I was a little late responding (I don't check my PM's often), so I don't know if they sent anything. I hope so.

Oh yeah, the devalued currency! xD Yeah, I think they saved mine too. This year's Christmas would be the worst, but it turned out to be one of the best. I hope I go to grandma's today, so that I can scan mine too. =x I don't own a scanner.

I'm glad everyone seems to like there cards, I put a lot of love in to them. Though I am sorry about the colouring jobs, I'm not to good at that part. - Slayzer, from The Granstream Saga (Eon's).

Can't wait to receive Gamemusicfreak's gift. I can't believe it hasn't arrived yet, that is extremely unacceptable!

Though I am sorry about the colouring jobs, I'm not to good at that part. I thought it was pretty good for something hand done with pencil crayon. The shading was nice. Only problem I really found was that it made the characters on the front kind of blend and I couldn't really notice Gades standing in the back for a while. Oh, and I guess I'll scan in mine later today for you guys as well I was going to do it before but didn't get the chance.

Awesome stuff MP cool picture from Lumi too. Is it just me, or did she do the eyes a bit differently than usual this time? Man, scanning in my card totally slipped my mind that day.. I've been trying to keep my computer off more often so I can play more Galaxy. I'm attempting to keep it off over the weekend too...

Ys V rules!! Also: I got one of them nice cards too. It had interesting birds on it. Interesting because they look similiar to something I used to draw as a kid. DID YOU GUYS READ MY MIND? I will not be providing a scan. Why? Because my scanner is hidden from the dudes of Ys. Yeah, the dudes of Ys. Wanna fight about it?

Yes I do, Seldane. You scan that goddamned card or I will say nasty things about you AND Ys V.
Also, the powers that be don't want Stan to get his card. =[

Oh, hey, I forgot to scan my gift. xD Wouldn't be a bad idea to scan and post them now, since all the other postcard scans from Del aren't up anymore. And me being new here, I wouldn't mind checking some awesome fan artwork out now, since my curiosity is now peaked.

I think I googled for The Grsntream Saga in Japanese or something. Was doing a research, trying to find out more about the manga that supposedly spawned it, which I don't know if it even actually exists. (Kros.)
