I was getting a bit down because my Secret Santa gift had not come through, nearly two weeks after the deadline to ship.

Of course, I just learned why it took so long: It shipped from Wales!

I received a long cardboard tube in the mail, and when I unfurled the gift, I knew that my Secret Santa had won. I had received a wall decal of Sonic the Hedgehog!

The decal is dark blue, just the right color for Sonic, and is about 3-feet tall. I have no idea when or where I will put it on a wall, but I am absolutely excited to do so. Thanks, Secret Santa!
