My secret Santa was full of apologies for their last-minuteness, but I loved the gift I received. They sent me a wooden puzzle which has defeated me, and made me rage-fling it across the house, and a tiny, wood panel turret from Portal.

I'm a huge Portal fan, having played the original when it came out, and finally just gotten around to playing 2, now I've got a 360. I'm over the moon to have this tiny little fella sitting on a shelf, watching over things.

My secret santa also offered to gift me a copy of Portal on steam if I'd not played it, but as I have it I've declined, and told them to pass it on to some other needy soul.

Merry Christmas, mysterious Secret Santa!
