Bright and early Christmas Morning I eagerly tore open a huge box of goodies.

It started off with a curiously sized box, which contained (much to the completely wrong predictions of my family) a fully working model Da Vinci Catapult. It was rather sensibly not built at the dinner table, as a full on war with my visiting brother would not have really been in the Christmas spirit

The second gift I opened was a ski hat, now anyone who knows me knows that I'm nearly always wearing a hat, I Immediately put the hat on and proceeded to wear it for the rest of the day (I am actually wearing it now).

The third and most astounding gift was a beautiful bottle of Captain's Whisky, which has an incredibly designed bottle. The bottle has a glass ship inside, which is simply stunning. Although my dad considered that it was one of those gifts that is in the category of 'Simply too good to use', the whisky will surely find it's way to getting drunk and then the bottle will undoubtably be used to hold more whisky in the future.

Next (Yeah the gifts keep on coming), came a rather silly straw. A straw that can be wound and bent to all sorts of shapes and unbeknownst to my Santa, it will be rather useful in an incredibly classy future endeavour.

My musical side was met with my next gift, a tiny box that has a small handle. The tiny box is a music box, which when the handle is turned the box plays the theme from the Pink Panther. This added a wonderful musical interlude to the day's festivities.

The final gift, kept everything nice and classy, a tin box full of moustache plasters. As a man who prefers to remain classy at all times, these ingenious item help even in the face of an accident.

The photos were taken on my only workable camera source a 3DS, that coupled with my dire photography skills and poor lighting choices gives some incredible pictures...

Once again apologies to all for the delay in actually updating this, the holiday season is a busy time for all.

Thanks to PrairieSmoke and the everyone at SecretSanta for making this such an enjoyable experience, see you all next exchange (where I may in fact upload in the same year as the exchange).
