When I came home today, a rather big box from my first Secret Santa was waiting for me in the hallway. The return address was somewhere in San Francisco but no name or user name on it. I knew that this was from someone in the "in crowd", because kickme444 had told me that I was the only one he had to rematch early on because my original Santa had been banned. Of course, he wouldn't divulge who the new Santa was, and boy, what a surprise I was in for!

When I opened up the box, there were two packages wrapped in pristine white printer paper decorated with the nicest letter to me. Two signatures on it, one from tia-marie, one from ketralnis. Double WOW!!! I took some pictures of the wrapping/lovely letter first and then showed the package to my wife. She had this funny look on her face about some woman sending me presents but when she saw the box for "mini-sunkid", she smiled. Of course, I would have to decide which one of the four mini-sunkids was to have this one.

We opened the mini-me box first: Harry Potter Clue! That made the choice a little easier and I will post some pictures of #1 and #2 with it tomorrow. How fun! Both of them love board games and Harry Potter (so does #3, but she is just starting to learn how to read).

The highlight though was the second box I opened. A genuine Marshmallow Blaster!!! The little boy in me jumped for joy. Funnily, my wife, at this point still in a good mood, pointed out immediately that this was one of the most sought-after presents this season. How did I miss that???

Off I went to the cupboard to fetch one of them white fluffy things left over from the last camping trip. They do fly 40ft. indeed... well, unless there is an obstacle in the way... like, say, my wife. After I am done typing this up, I will have to make some amends or it's the couch for me, I am afraid. For any other Marshmallow Blasters out there: use fresh and fluffy ones, not stale and hard ones. They sting!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can see how ketralnis would want one of these! You probably don't want him to have one though. ;)

Now where was that cat??? Muahahahahahaha!

tl;dr: awesome Marshmallow Blaster and Harry Potter Clue game from tia-marie and ketralnis.
