>>42872277>ai sloppaTake your (You) and fuck you for making RAM so expensive
Hey Cotton Clump, please email me at pulsar dot patterns at gmail to get your bottle.
>>42872277>duuuude I can't wait to consooom productCringe.
>>42872291Can you fuck off back to your own thread. You're clearly a newfag because this bitching about normieshit has only started this year.
>>42872297Can you fuck off back to your discord server? The board is for discussing My Little Pony, not discussing normalfag bullshit.
Group Picture UpdateI am working on this as much as I can, going a little extra this year compared to previous years since I've picked up Krita earlier this year. At the moment we have about 120 participants and I hope to see a lot more over the next couple of weeks. Reply to this post with the image you'd like to be used for the group pic this year if you have not done so already.Slight blogpost too: Thank you all for the love and support during this difficult time for myself and my family it really does mean a lot. Be it donating, sharing the link, drawing a Redheart, or reaching out to talk to me to give emotional support
Prickly Pear, I prepared the card for resend, and it'll be going out tomorrow! Love you
>>42872323This here is why I hate threads like this. Namefags and normies trying to make it all about themselves. Go back to Plebbit or Twitter or Dicksword and jack off there. This is a PONY.I'm not false flagging I'm agreeing with you before you reply
Snowy Charm, according to the tracking you should be receiving your gifts in the mail sometime tomorrow. Please let me know you got it safely when you do.
>>42871659Hey Sparklemoon Shimmersun, just calling you out again since it seems we keep missing each other and last thread died. Gonna send your gift today, I'll have tracking forwarded to you if you'd like.
Salted Licorice (or was it salty licorice), it is thy Santa, I am not dead, I just caught an awful case of ligma at HWC and am trying not to die.I haven't forgotten you though! Maybe once things are ready I'll post an email to try to use to pick a time/date/place for the gift hand-off?My original plans for the homemade portion of the gift have been falling apart right before my very eyes, so I've been coming up with an almost schizophrenically esoteric backup plan, which I'm convincing myself is a good idea because nobody on this earth has ever done it before, and the words "for good reason" no longer hold any meaning to me.And also because I'm determined to actually include something that I've created with my own two hands.
Buck! I tried to post in the previous thread but it was archived. I have a big news to share:>>42866209Thanks for your support Crowsfeet. As I promised, your gift has been shipped!Snowy Charm, your card was also sent to u.Both tracking info has be sent to Pony Claus, but I need some additional info due to tariff process, I asked to Claus so that they would get what I need.>>42869646Hooray! I'm very excited, and don't worry, take your time to make the perfect gift. I will be on the lookout for any updates.
Hey Booberry The Batpone,Calling you out again in case you missed it last thread. Your gift is scheduled to arrive on monday, but I have a feeling Derpy is confused because your package is in Missouri. USPS is stupid. Expect your gift tuesday.Also Fillycakes, your card should be there Monday/Tuesday as well.
Hey Pineapple Rightside Up Cake, I’ve got your card! I couldn’t wait and opened the envelope right outside the post office! The art made me chuckle. I love it! Also, we finally got a decent amount of snow here today, for the first time this winter. It's also hella slippery, I almost fell twice on my way to the post office ocoDid you get my card? It should’ve arrived some time ago… I’m not a good artist, but it has Rarity on it.
Finally got all my cards posted yesterday. Sorry for getting them out a little later than I would have liked. It's been pretty hectic this year and I'm shite and time keeping.
>>428723878/10 made me reply
Loving Light, your gift has been posted! Pony Claus will send you the tracking info at some point soon
Hi santa im currently in Prague as delivery was attempted, ill get the package in a couple days when I get home
>>42872143First for the best gorl
>>42872728And as soon as I got home, I received a notification from the post office that the last piece of Big Iron's gift has arrived. I'm going to run back and pick it up hope the post office is still open. And I’ll send it on Monday since the post office is closed tomorrow

Card number two has landed in the mailbox. Thanks very much for the delightful drawings and enclosed Rarara lewd, Sheriff Starshine! Good guess as to where my surname came from! You would at least be mostly correct, though it's actually a stupidly common name in that part of the world.
>>42872773Cool cool, I think they were going to try to deliver it on the 16th so keep an eye out. I can probably reschedule it too if that's inconvenient. Also, all customs charges and fees are paid for so if u get any mail about that just ignore it.
>>42872777
>>42872797>not even raising money for horses but some namefag A bullet would be cheaper. Hell line them all up and I'll do it for free
Filles and gentlemoosens, (that means residents of the country known as khanada under supreme ayatola Thru-d'ho) your cards have now all been sent.
>>42872323With it being a Western theme this year I am surprised there are no buffalo OCs yet
>>42872794>MondayI meant Tuesday. They are also closed on Monday.
>>42872813Ah yes I did get a thing about customs charges, I should be back home by the 16th, at worst ill have to grab it from the post office, hopefully the box isn't too spaghetti!
>>42872291kys faggot
>>42868497You can open it whenever you like!Tinsel Tote, your gift said it was coming Thursday but now its saying this. If that doesn't come I'm not sure if I should re order it from someone else or just get you something on your amazon wishlist. If I have to re order it then I really don't think it'll make it in time for Horsemas. Unless you don't mind the wait, but let me know!
Loving Light,Just after I sent the first post I got an email from ups saying the package was delivered. Can you confirm please? If its true that's the fastest international shipping I've ever seen, taking like 16 hours after I gave it to the carrier
>>42872845A sad lack of spaghetti on the outside of the package unfortunantly. Don't forget to have them remove the customs form if you are picking it up yourself or else
Good day all!Perfect Score your gift came in and my goodness I am blown away and feel utterly unworthy of such a gift. I did not think that anyone would actually send such a large plush and im sure shipping was a drag. But she is absolutley beautiful and I 100% adore her, thank you so much. As for the other gifts I really enjoy the engraved book and the other small white horse. Would you think that although reading parts of the book itself I have never sat down and read the whole thing?Now I will and will do so with a wonderful mare in my lap and I truly do thank you from the bottom of my heart! Happy Horsemas and a Merry Christmas to all!
>>42872728Yay!And have a digital version, as well!>Did you get my card?No, nothing here. Guess i'll have to tortue my post office tomorrow. If you have a tracking, send it via CardSlut, pls.>>42872803Rarity!Hi, Robert!
Haven’t heard an update from Santa in a while kinda nervous.
Will do
REEEEEEEEEEEEE I'm trying to print my letter to go along with my gifts and I get a nightmare level paper jam. I FUCXKING HATE PRINTERS!
Hi, Blueberry Bounce the postal service said that the card to you could not be delivered due to "address incomplete" despide me writing all elements on it (hopefully in right style).Could you contact your local postal service and check with them if you got the tracking number. I've also sent an email to CardSlut with more detailed info.
>>42873142Huh, I didn't even get attempted delivery, the tracking says it is on move to the destination post officeI'd give it a few days, I am pretty sure it will arrive on Monday or Tuesday. I had to write a customs declaration for it so I am pretty sure it has a proper address
Shoots n Leaves I had an email saying the package was delivered but when I put the tracking into Royal Mail it says it was refused by the recipient and on the way back to me, let me know if you have it or if I have to send it again
>>42873154Not the one to me, but my card to you.
>>42873164>my card to youWell you know that. Just woke up, so brain not fully awake. Saw that message on the tracking app so I scrambled to contact my postal service and you. Hopefully my tracking app is just glitching out as I see the tracking on you local postal service don't have that message.
>>42873164Yes! I got a tracking because I had to do a customs declaration, the package contains more than a paper and your country is not in EU, (which is retarded).I got tracking code for it and it says it is on its way to me. So do not worry!
>>42872794
>>42873195Thank you. Just got really worried when I saw that message. I wish my postal service would stop saying wrong things and do stuff like that to me.
>>42872323Here is mine from last year. Please use it for group picture (in case you don't have it on file for this year). Thank you for all you are doing. And all the best of wishes to you and your loved ones.
Ruby Royale, I'm wondering if you have gotten your gift yet? I checked the tracking and it hasn't been updated in over a week, but I have had packages arrive with borked tracking before. Hoping it's not stuck. If it is I'll try to call USPS on monday and see if I can do anything about it.Cotton Clump, I just got back from a week long trip and had your gift waiting for me when I got back. Looking forward to opening it on horsemas!
UK Reading meet is well under way, much mare merriment to be had!

Yall, this event has given me the motivation to actually draw and Im afraid without a purpose to drawfag, I will shirk it to instead play today and doomscroll againPlease tell me there are many more fun /mlp/ events to look forward to? Drawing is f*n but given the choice in tend to laze about instead. Artfags, how do you choose your art over brain dead entertainment?
>>42872797Anon, I donated! You mind adding me to that list?
>>42873406>>42873411>Im afraid without a purpose to drawfagMake a drawing of Nurse Redheart for Kiwi if not already in the process to complement your donation.
>>42873004>No, nothing hereIt's been almost 3 weeks now, hope it's not lost... I don't have a tracking number, but it was just a brown envelope slightly larger than A5, maybe that will help with locating it at your post office.
Anon turned himself into a filly! Funniest shit I've ever seen.
>>42873034Hi! I promise you're still getting your present! One of the sellers I brought from hadn't shipped anything for a month and wouldn't respond to my messages, so I had to cancel :(. Currently working on a replacement though. Should be done in a day or two, sorry for the wait.

>>42873156Hia, sorry I’ve been away all day. So I haven’t been there to refuse it, no. If they could get into my building they might have left it outside my flat and called it delivered. Hopefully the postman has just picked the wrong status or something. I will be home in a few hours so will let you know what’s gone on. Sorry for all the trouble getting this delivered!
>get tracking from my Santa>they sent it express, so it should arrive in a day or two>over a week later and it still hasn't left the origin center Guys, I think Derpy stole my package.

>>42873617Don’t pea yourself
UK anons have moved on now so no more fun posting orders pls
If only my rage were incandescent enough to melt the snow between me and work tonight. Anyone shipping between the US west and Midwest-to-NewEngland, seems we're potentially gonna have similar delays to post Black Friday. I'm gonna need to dig my leather deep cold mittens out for this bullshit. I am not used to this silliness before mid January. Travel safely frens.
>>42873818GET BACK THERE FOR YOUR NEXT ORDER!
>>42873840Luckily for you, we stayed just long enough for 4x pizzas to arrive, you based motherfucker. Would post pics but range b&
>>42873840Filly says thanks!
>>42873848>"Luckily for you,..."Oh Boy! I sure am so lucky that I was able to give you all some Peetzer for this Hearth's Warming! Please enjoy and wait for next year where I will be able to send my Bing-Bong-Anons even more Holiday Cheer! Happy Hearth's Warming!

>>42873869Much obliged Mr. Chompy, a very welcome surprise that’s sorted us out for the rest of this evening. Happy Horsemas to the goodest boy of the evening!
>>42873881And to All, a Good Night!
>>42873346>>42873348>>42873362>>42873373>>42873386>>42873857Looks like you dudes are having a good old time out there. Once again, sorry for not getting to come along for the ride, but my main man Rolling Stocking is a good pal of mine, so I hoped he provided many hours of entertainment on my behalf.
>>42872467Oh shit! Thanks Winter charge!There's no worries. Santa pone sends the tracking when you update them on the gift.Thanks for posting! I was worried.
Just throwing it out there, that anon who didn't want to make the arry gift wasn't me, they just posted with a pic I drew, and anons assumed it was me because I'm also a lib shit (although I deliberately try to keep my politic and /mlp/ as far away from each other as possible.) I know you have no reason to believe me, but I don't want to catch strays for another anon's bullshit.
>>42873451I've never drawn Nurse Redheart before, and now, I shall! Thanks for the idea anon!
>>42863864I haven't heard from Santa yet but I'm glad that its on its way
hey guys look i did the thing i made cookies and not just because i forgot these were in the fridge and panicked a little because they both say they shoulda expired in october
Twin Tales, your gift is on the way! I hope you like it!
>>42869545HYP! Looking forward to it friend!
Green Glowie!Your gift has been shipped and should be there soon! I hope you enjoy.
>>42872836You make a good point there. Going to spin the wheel to assign someone a Buffalo OC and work on something.>>42873221Thank you for the wishes had a bit of a scare last night/this morning and she's in the hospital still getting looked at >>42873346>not posting the QR code so we can all send you peanuts again this year. >>42873687IT WASN'T DIFFERENT AT ALL WAS IT SCHNAPPS?
Hi Ice Wallow. Your gift finally arrived, and I inspected and packaged everything as quickly as possible. I have it ready to go now so I'll send it out tomorrow as soon as the shipping office is open.
