Despite the long wait, I finally got my Secret Santa Gift! I had almost given it up as lost so when I saw I had something from Spain, I was beyond excited! What could it be?

What I got was a black box covered in tape. It was really hard to open but I took a knife to it and that made quick work of the black plastic wrap and of the tape. What awaited me was more tape! I could barely contain my excitement then. All this work just to open the box was making me really excited.

And then finally, I opened the box! It revealed two nicely packed wrapped gifts -- in Hello Kitty wrapping paper no less! How did Santa know I adore that insanely cute kitty?

I opened the smaller gift first. It was a Minecraft hanger. I admit, I was quite confused. I don't know anything about Minecraft outside of the name. I've never played it or said anything about it in my Q&A. I opened it up to find a Chest. I have no idea what a Chest is in the context of the game. But upon closer inspection, "Hanger" seems to mean a sort of keychain! Well, I do enjoy keychains, especially with small items attached to them. And the Chest opens! That's pretty cool. I'll have to find something to hide in there...

Now onto the larger gift! I opened it up to find what looks to be a vintage Star Trek Doctor McCoy vinyl model kit! At first look, I was slightly apprehensive... I've never done any models before but I do have slightly more knowledge of it than I do of Minecraft. What I do know is that it is a meticulous hobby, with specialized glues and paints -- I don't know if I'm up to this! I'd hate to do Dr. McCoy wrong... But despite my lack of knowledge of the hobby, I'm taking this as an opportunity to learn more about it. Hopefully Dr. McCoy is easy...

Marco, thank you so much for the gift!
