I knew as soon as I saw the wrapping paper with robots dressed as Santa & Xmas trees that this was going to be a cool gift. The reddit alien was so well done that I thought it was bought in a store (until I read the attached story and found out it was crocheted!). The next thing I found in the box was a book that I've been wanting for a long time, "Good Omens". I like the note that came in it too :) Finally, random stories are definitely fun...although sorry to hear what a nightmare that trip was! Thanks again, extremely cool gifts.
