Comments on: It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas http://screamingpages.net/?p=1995 morning has shattered all the windows in my mind Sun, 17 Dec 2017 16:24:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.4.15 By: she http://screamingpages.net/?p=1995&cpage=1#comment-11554 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 16:24:02 +0000 http://valianthosting.ca/clients/daemon/?p=1995#comment-11554 I have to admit, Reddit Secret Santa ended up putting a bit of a damper on my holiday spirit. My Santa has had no contact and didn’t ship a present by the deadline. Ok, I can accept that.

But my giftee… Well, let’s just say I wish I’d checked out her past exchange history before I sent my “13 presents of Christmas” theme pack. It arrived in 4 separate packages between Dec 2 and 8th and she hasn’t bothered to tag the gifts received in her dashboard. Which she apparently has a history of. She doesn’t post photos of what she’s received and does her gallery postings months (or in one case, nearly a year!) late.

How has Reddit Secret Santa not previously banned her for this? Posting the photo is one of the main rules of the experience?

And yes, I know stuff happens and life interferes – but since she’s active elsewhere on reddit during the past few weeks she obviously had a moment or two to spare and mark the items received.

Since attempts to keep her updated along the way have been met with silence, I’ve given up on expecting her pre-established habits to change. So, they joy I was expecting to get from finding out what a stranger thought of my gift selections? *poof* Gone.

Being blown off by my Santa. That’s almost expected. Being blown off by my giftee – even if she hated my gift? – well, that’s pretty sad making.
