If you didn't like your presents this year, you do have an option to return them, besides fighting the service lines at the local mall. Instead, return them directly to Santa himself, in this silly, small game called Santa In... Reindeer Poop.
On a suggestion from a friend, I happened to throw this together in a couple of hours. It's silly, it's fun, there's about 30 seconds of gameplay, but it's kind of cathartic to send presents back.
Happy holidays!
