>>42964947pony 64 and a plush of my OC will be at the top of my list next year, just in case someone is around who wants to try it, but I'll add plenty of normal stuff too of course
yey new bread nomnomnom ima eat it
Damn, we went back in time it seems
>>42965110>2024
Fiestaware, I am begging you for any sign that youre alive
>>42965028Fluffy FeathersGot the package back. It's not damaged. I've put out a complain, but I've been told it can take up to 3 months to even get processed. Guess I'll just send it again when I can.
bumping for my santee still hasn't received his gift yet
bumping for my santee who still hasn't opened his gift yet
Well, it's time. After more than a year of waiting, your card is finally here Cookie Kiln! Thank you so much for the wonderful card, the prototype 2024 card, the stickers and of course the famous discs! I haven't yet properly listened/watched the CD/DVD yet, but I did skim through them and there are some good stuff there! Looking forward to immersing myself into some pony nostalgia soon!>Happy, uhhh, 2025!Haha, yeah...
>>42966240Oh and thanks for keeping the threads alive. This year was a mess, so your autism is greatly appreciated! Cheers!
>>42966248Also, numget
>>42966240I hope you at least had a good 2025 because I sure didn't (sob emoji)>>42966248Oh yeah! I think it was mostly old music videos!>>42966254woaw i also forgor I drew a numget hell yeah
>>42966240I fucking knew it"oh I want a cookie plush but I would never fuck it" yeah right!
speaking of keeping threads alive
>>42967515Hello there Cookie, I understand that Moony is a pony which brings you glee. Does music entertain you equally?I was listening to some earlier, and playing Nightmare Moon by Tarby and Lost on the Moon made me wonder what songs a full time Moon Lover might know and love. And here's one!So forgive me, but to sate my curiosity may you allow my inquiry of what Nightmare Moon songs do agree with your sensibilities to naught but the highest degree?
>>42967652Lost on the moon is a good one, and I probably know the tarby song, it's just not coming to mind. My favorite pony song of all time is super ponybeat's LUNA (Dream Mode), and Nightmare Night is perhaps the only rap song I actually enjoy, and enjoy a lot.One issue with Moon-related music is that it often leans towards stuff like heavy metal or screamo, which I'm not into, sadly.This old 174UDSI song might be my favorite moony song, oddly enough, I love the interlude where she's speaking...
>>42967726Oooh yeah, Luna (DREAM Mode) is a song I love too! I hadn't heard The Queen of the Night before, what a comfy song, I can understand why it's a favorite. Music is so cool. I thank thee!
>>42967779You are welcome! Maybe by /SS/ 2026 I will have my moony plush completed...
>>42967779Precious
Oi, don't die
>>42967804Do you realize that if someone actually makes a cookie kiln plush they are probably going to fuck it before they gift it to you
>>42968636Fuck it? No no no, thats not enough. I'm going to run a one-man train over her so hard, so long, and with so much zinc and hydration that plush Cookie goes into labor when the package is opened and rewrites our understanding of biology
>>42954217Nice glad they made it! Happy I can assist with cheer distribution.>>42957433Ah it was (You)! I would have had some more specific kind words if I knew. Your santa done a good one this year really cool gift.
>>42968781how am I even supposed to react to thisi mean do the people getting sex toys really think they're unused?Man if helping her give birth is what it takes to have my own adorable plush cookie to cuddle and hug and pose for pictures then so be it, I will even post pictures of it unless it would get me banned lol
Hello hello!I have sent an email as well as a form for those of you that contacted me about Grinch Rescue to look at/fill out. Once again I am sorry about the lack of posting somewhat regularly on my part, but I am doing what I can with the time I have. It's a bit chaotic but it is what it is, but there is no way I am allowing any Anon to be grinched on my watch. Once again if you think you have been grinched or wanted to be involved with Grinch Rescue please do email me at kiwilatecomers@gmail.com and I will send you the form.
>>42956282>>42956286>>42956296>>42956305>>42956317Saspirilla Sips there should be a few parts to your gift. Looks like the third part that got sent out might reach you shortly. No clue where the first part is, it seems to be in shipping hell.
buzzard beater, please open your gift
>>42969217We doxxing the grinchers and ghosts yet? Or is that sometime in march?March?Only the gift of vengeance can sate this holly jolly hole in my heart
>>42969217Have you considered emailing grinches and getting their side of the story? Maybe they forgot to check thread or something came up in their life
>>42969530He can't exactly do that if he doesn't have access to the assignments, which it seems that Chuckles has not provided?
>>42963210Hi Piping Hot! I'm so excited! :D Shipping from China can be surprisingly fast but either way, I am a patient anon. No worries if I gotta wait a little longer. I actually just renewed my PO Box so it's good for another month. Thanks for the update and thanks for being so based /)
>>42969217>>42969530>>42969610Normally Chuckles would send emails to everyone who hasn't confirmed shipping, but he's been radio silent ever since his big announcement.
Fluffy Feathers! Good news! Your gift package arrived back at my place and I'm going to try sending it out again tomorrow.
I am honestly not sure if I should join the grinch rescue. My Santa promised that the gift will be sent but the last update was like 29th, never said he sent it and all my callouts have been unsuccessful
bump
>>42970103sounds like you were grinched, anon
>>42969355There is?I haven't received any tracking number for those other parts at all?
>>42970103What was their name?
>>42971332Uhhh, Analog Candle I think
>>42971765Bump
>>42969862Wait, are all shipments to Fluffy Feathers getting bounced? Or just this one?
>>42969639Oh phew, that's a relief, either way everything is coming along nicely and I am very excited about this one! >>42970103I was Analog Candle's santa and I feel horrible that you were grinched. I'm already doing a grinch rescue for someone else otherwise I would sign right up to recue you. I will say you should absolutely sign up for grinch rescue. Desu shows they last posted with their SS name on Xmas. I know they offered an email up but i assume you wouldnt be here asking about a rescue if they were still communicating. Hope you have a wonderful 2026 and I wish there was more I could do. >Olyfactory plush giveaway winnersAll 3 tracking numbers show that mares have been delivered! Hopefully you all have your new friends /)
>>42972411Piping Hot thanks a bunch for the giveaway and all the cheer you've been spreading. And as for Cloudchaser! She's here! She's beautiful! I really can't thank you enough. She will be cherished.
>>42972722YAY! She looks happy in her new home, and she looks like she will be great friends with Snow Roper!
>>42972248Mine also got returned
>>42973028Well shit. Hopefully my card comes back and isn't just lost to the void, then
i wish i had the time to do a goofy MS paint CYOA
>>42972411Yeah I've sent him email, and he did promise that it is coming, but since then it was radio silence. If I got tracking or something, I wouldn't care it comes this late, but I got nothing
Caroling Care!Unsure if Pony Claus will get through to you, but the second part of your gift should arrive Tuesday at earliest, or a bit later depending on weather.
>>42973979Damn. That really sucks. I know he mentioned school at one point, must be a college student. Even if he ended up not able to send you anything he should have at least let you know. I don't have any contact info for him other than dox... but maybe some day I will send him a card in the mail telling him that Celestia would be shaking her head in disappointment.... (actually on second thought, if he's a college student, came home for Xmas, etc, then that might be his parent's address I have...) Either way I encourage you to sign up for grinch rescue. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you were grinched.
>>42973430Reminds me of the good ol days a few years back. Although I eventually had to drop the project due to technical limitations, it was fun for a short period.Also sorry to my Santee, ducking away for a few days to fight depression
>>42974233You have to seduce his mom then
it was a nice secret santa this year, got some nice gift with my waifu and my santee was really happy with the gift ive send to them.
Is anyone still here Fiestaware's Santa or have their email?
I feel this year very dull, like idk if it was the lack of interaction between anons, not many drawings, songs or photos, more ppl getting grinched, or Pony Claus leaving the event.In my case, customs grinched me so hard with my gift and my card. I'm not sure if this tariff shit could be keep going this year, but I just hope next /ss/ will be much more exciting and engaging, like previous years.
mfw all the cards that i've received are from the mass mailers only
>>42975581you received cards? still waitin on my first one haha
>>42975590that is just straight depressing
>>42975602I do wonder if it's because they may have put our ss names on the letter instead of our real names. I've had the postman personally explain he didn't deliver my mail in the past because the name didn't match what was on the postbox (I had just moved in).
>>42975581who were the mass mailers?I don't think I've gotten a single one of those
>>42975581One mass mailer card received, 0/3 of exchange cards. Tho I did hear that one of them was returned to sender for no apparent reason. I just wish I knew what's the issue. Did I type my address in the wrong format or something? But the gift made it to me, eventually.At least 2/3 of what I sent made it.
>>42975889When I get a chance later I am going to post all the cards I sent, and call out the names of those I never received a card from. Two for five on received, but I did get a card (and send a card to) Banana Pancakes, and that made it both ways without issue.
>>42965110More later letters coming in thanks holiday hijak and fluthy feathers (GOT URS EARLIER BUT I WAS BANNED ;-;)https://files.catbox.moe/lzg6pt.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/j1vq1c.png
>>42975041I'm fiestaware's santa, dont have their email though.
Good thing I didnt pack the Horsemas tree away yet, because an absolute unit of a card arrived today from Bad Medicine.Thank you for the incredible box cheer, your "card" is more than some people get in the main gift! Despite the package taking a while to arrive, everything came fine and unspoiled. I did inspect the month old cookies thoroughly before eating a couple and they are still great and very yummy! You are right, I could always use more fillies in my green army. Verity will get plenty of cuddles too! Thank you for all the other stuff too, the magnet is on the fridge already, for the nice card and message and the prints, unf, jannies avert your eyes. Oh and the hat! I regretted not picking one up at marefair and now I get to proudly rock mare ass on my head, awesome!I hope you had comfy horsemas and nice start of the new year, cheers!
>>42976443oo thats neat loot. Could you make a pic of that really small Derpy sticker/magnet?
>>42976146Did they post your gift?
>>42977044nope
I am once again baking cookies in my raggedy old oven, but this time for grandmare's birthday (I didn't want to go through the effort of doing cake)
Instagram ass photo but 4MB file limit is a bitch
>>42975877Saspirilla Sips, he doesn't put his ss name but you can tell because his cards are pinkie pie theme
niggerbump
High Noon the Kirin and Fluster Dust, your cards both arrived today. Thank you!High Noon the Kirin, I have no idea why yours took so long to get here, because it is postmarked 9 December. Thank you for the lovely handmade cutie mark. Yes I did have my beans on toast today :)Fluster Dust - the drawing is beautiful, thank you. :)I hope you both got my cards okay :)
>>42978971The inside of Fluster Dust's card :)
>https://files.catbox.moe/j80wlu.mp4cya ziggas next xmas
>>42978377Guilty as charged.
Who else is hastily preparing to be buried in snow tonight?
delecios
>>42979443I wish we had snow over here. I love it, but we rarely get it.
>>42979746And I live in an area with no snow. Snow is an evil substance: it's cold and then it becomes wet. No thank you.
>>42979746I love it, but I miss driving my shitbox, I don't drive it during winter because I don't want it to rust
the warmth, it sustains me
Hey Big Iron! Still no word on my card I take it? If it makes you feel any better, I haven't received yours either so maybe the postal service is just very behind. One can hope, anyways.
>>42980418yep, seems, the postal service is especially shitty this year
>>42975581none of the cards I sent have been shown on board haha this sucksI only got 2 out of 5 cards as well. I don't think I got card grinched by 3 people but when each card I sent cost me a little bit to make + about an hour to draw each one + the secret prizes that I put in its kind of like damn, maybe next year idk what I can do better?
The snow has arrived
I sent my cards but none were posted on the board. Are the tariffs against Christmas joy as well?
>>42981166Post is shitty this year, most likely your cards are lost or heavily delayed unless you enabled tracking.
>Are the tariffs against Christmas joy as well?yes, it tripled my cost to sent horsemas card to burgerland
argh that reminds me I completely forgot to email that one mass mailer
>>42981249what happened?
