This year I asked my Santa instead of sending me something I like (and they probably don't care about), to send me something they like. Something they'll actually have fun looking for. I didn't ask for a recent item, or an old one, just whatever is their favorite thing.

Honestly, I expected a DVD, a newer book, or a dirty sock. Nothing with that much thought behind it. Now, I obviously don't know for sure, but this gift seems to be a favorite from their childhood, and that's pretty rad.

It's a Storm X-Men Power Glow action figure from the early '90s. The packaging is a bit beat up (the receipt slip actually mentions it's new), but I think that only adds to the thought of this being something that was cherished for years, only to be stored next to the VHS player in your Mom's attic when you embarked off to College.

Whether or not that's true, maybe they just wanted to send the cheapest thing they could find on Amazon, but I was gifted at least a little part of someone else's happiness. Thanks, Santa!

UPDATE: They also sent a bunch of T-Shirts! 3 to be exact. And, from what I can gather, they enjoy The Walking Dead, fancy dinosaurs, and Parks and Rec (at least Ron). I happen to like all those things as well, so great job!

Definitely a bounty of riches from Santa.
