It's that time of year again!!! Time for baking cookies, putting up the tree, hanging stockings and lights, stalking reddit giftees and gift giving, card sending, Santa's visit and ZOMBIES!!! Oh, how I love this time of year!

So, after working really hard on my giftee's present, getting it shipped off to the North, stalking it on it's voyage from the Sunshine State all the way up to the Pine Tree State (Maine...for those who don't know), and seeing it confirmed as delivered (had to wait for it's post into the gallery as it arrived at it's destination before my giftee did), I could then turn my stalking skills to my gift. I tracked it all the way from Pennsylvania!!! There was a brief freakout when it seemed to have been delayed for a couple of days in the Keystone State, however, it finally made it to this sunny Florida beach and into my welcoming hands on this merry Christmas Eve!

I have a love of (or maybe it's just a very weird fascination with) all things zombie related, so imagine my excitement when I finally got that box opened and the paper ripped free to find...

A new zombie movie, of which I have never seen...Fido! Looking forward to curling up with the husband (also a big zombie fan!) and watching this many times!!!

As if that wasn't enough on it's own, Aioazech, my AMAZING and TALENTED Santa, included a hand-painted portrait of zombiefied Snoo (the reddit alien)!!! You have no idea how much I love this!!! I have received great gifts in my past participation in other exchanges, but being an artist myself and making handmade gifts for my giftees, I always hoped that one of these times I'd get a handmade present as well. You have now made that a reality!!! I will display him proudly for all who enter my home to see!!! Thank you so much, Aioazech, for taking the time to create such a zombierific gift, and making this random stranger's Christmas all that much brighter!!!

P.S. The hanging entrails and brain eating have not diminished my crush of Snoo in the least! Thank you again, Aioazech, for this extremely thoughtful and fantastic gift!!! I hope your Santa was just as kind to you!!!

Edit! The husband and I watched Fido last night (Christmas night) and absolutely LOVED IT!!! Thanks again, Aioazech!!!
