I got a veritable multitude of well thought out gifts!

My wife and daughter threatened me with bodily harm if I didn't mention the creativity of the wrapping paper. Sharks with Christmas sweaters, holding candy canes, and eating gingerbread men. Dinosaurs, dogs, and sloths all dressed up for the season. There was some definite "sqeee" going on.

The first thing I opened was the smallest package which happened to be an Essential Weird Al CD. I am quite a fan of Weird Al so my wife and daughter giggled as I sang the refrains from several of the songs. There were also some that I couldn't immediately place so I can't wait to listen.

After that, I worked my way up to a box that contained a set of weighted metal dice...in BLUE which is my favorite color. Those things are impressive.

Next up was a very well wrapped box containing an envelope containing well protected bottles of some serious hot sauce. I like it hot and these come with a personal recommendation from a fellow "hot head" (my own term a la "pot head").

Following that was a set of four meat rubs. I love to BBQ and these are going to get used next weekend! I have to thank my secret Santa's husband for letting her wife give another man some butt rub. ;-)

Last, but certainly not least was a copy of Star Lord, Guardian of the Galaxy. The cover is a great homage to the sci-fi covers of the middle of the 20th century. I am an incredible comic nerd so I am looking forward to a good read about a character I don't really know all that well, except for the movies.

I was out of town visiting family, but drove home today. I made sure to open these things up as quick as I could to post this update. Great job!
