Now that some of the gifts have been sent and begin to arrive, you can show off your awesome christmas swag in here and write a "Thank You" message to your giftee!

Don't worry if your gift hasn't arrived yet, good things take time. If you haven't received your gift by the 10th of January, let @TopinFrassi or @DanPantry know in the CR Secret Santa chatroom.

You don't have to be in your photo, but please post a picture of your gift and anything you want to say to your giftee!

On behalf of all the participants of this year's Secret Santa, I want to say a big thanks to @TopinFrassi and @DanPantry for organising everything, the moderators for letting us go through with this and everyone who participated for being kind santas:

Topin Frassi, Dan Pantry, janos, Mat's Mug, rolfl, Joe Wallis, Phrancis, Mast, Ethan Bierlein and Zak.

Thanks everyone and have a Merry Christmas!

Time to break the book trend...
I'm one of those people that can't think of anything for gifts, sorry Santa. But I really like the present, I didn't have my own mug, so thank you!

Mug when empty/cold Mug when hot

I've been wanting to learn C++ more in depth for quite a while now, and this book should certainly help. :)

Edit: It turns out there was more! :D

Thanks Santa! I received "Clean Code" by Robert C. Martin.

I'm sure this will be a great handbook for improving my reviews! :-)

  • \$\begingroup\$ One of the best written books on software development around. Despite the focus on Java, most of it is generally applicable and as relevant to functional languages as OO ones. \$\endgroup\$
