Xmas Order Deadlines!

[Leon]

Last call for everyone in North America, get them in before midnight tonight if possible please!

[fsn]

Might I enquire how the Dark Caverns of Pendraken will be celebrating the festivities? Hopefully you will be enjoying a well deserved break with plenty of Games Workshop fare to keep the fires blazing. Some relaxing downtime in front of the festive telly, with your arms wrapped around the arms of the one you love, or indeed the family? Are you actually capable of laying aside your mighty burden, or do you sketch potential new figures on your Christmas napkin? (League of Ausberg canary sellers, League of Ausberg grenadiers of extraordinary tallness, League of Ausberg Aztec machine gunners, League of Ausberg light armoured kangaroos.) And what have you crayoned onto your wish list for Santa? World peace (but with the occasional bush war to keep the ranges up) or mayhap new evidence that the Emperor Leopold I travelled extensively in the antipodes or indeed that FSN ends his dalliance with 10mm, finds 15mm again and buggers off to annoy Peter Pig?  

Whatever, I hope it's not too early to wish you the compliments of the season and all the very best.

This year we'll actually be taking some time off over Xmas, something we've never done before (Well that's the plan at least...!)  In previous years, Dave's quite often been out casting on Xmas morning, just keeping on top of things, so this year we'll put a big notice on the website saying we're closed, and that all orders will be dealt with on our return.

For myself, as long as I don't get ill, I'm happy.  The last 3 years I've been out of action for 1-2 weeks over Xmas/New Year, and I'm hoping this strange annual bug doesn't get me this time around.

'tis always the way. You work hard and then when you take a break - kapow! Accumulated illness catches up with you.

The forum won't be closed will it? It'll be bad enough spending another Christmas alone - a discarded Tukey and Stuffing Pot Noodle, a glass that has not been chinked in merry salute with another, a cracker unpulled for want of a companion's hand - without access to the cheerful messages of my forum brothers proclaiming their festive greetings and sharing news of the Pendraken goodliness their loving families have presented to them wrapped in gaudy paper and glittering twine.

I'll be all right.

Go volunteer at a homeless kitchen for the day

[Leon]

The Forum will certainly be up, it'll need to be for when something big happens... More on that coming soon... 

[Fenton]

Ok FSN your duty on the day will be to keep an eye on the forum for the rest of  to make sure its working for the big event

You can't be lonely, you have centurions....

Something big ? HAve you bought over the EE , scrapped all their 28mm malarkey, and revamped warmaster 

[fsn]

I also have a Soviet army on the way. My Xmas will probably be spent on my own with lots of Pendraken goodies to keep me company.

Happiness is.

[Matt J]

my xmas normally involves assembling toys all morning, intervening in fights all afternoon, getting slightly drunk and falling on the fire, then washing up... can't wait

Our children have opted for a quiet family Christmas Day i.e. just four of us, so I might get a few minutes for some miniature time at some point on the day itself.

i hate bloody xmas

[Ithoriel]

Since my other half and I split up, several years ago now, I timeshift Xmas to Boxing Day. These days I have my parents, the two sprogs and my daughter-in-law round for lunch on the 26th and spend the 25th in gentle preparation, outright piggery and the destruction of pixel spaceships in EVE Online in about equal measure. I love Xmas, me.

[fsn]

I go the other way. My daughter comes to see me on Xmas Eve and that's when we do the whole Xmas thing. Xmas day is either spent with my mother (such fun!) or quietly on my tod with a boxed set of something, and some engaging activity. (This year it will probably be painting some 1941 Russians  .)

[Orcs]

I find that by mid afternoon on Christmas day I would like everyone to go back home and leave us in peace so we can do what we want, rather than engage in conversation or quizes that go on forever.

Depending on when my paint order arrives, my Xmas will be spent resurrecting some Vallejo paint & using it...
