I've participated in a lot of exchanges, and I can honestly say this is one of the best, most thoughtful gifts I've ever gotten. It was definitely worth the couple days extra wait because no one was home to sign for it when USPS tried to deliver it on Thursday.

I picked it up on Saturday, on our way to town for some last minute shopping and to see The Hobbit. I was so excited that I made my husband drive so I could open the rather large box immediately. That's why a few of the pics are blurry. A moving car doesn't make for the best photos.

The first thing I saw was a red envelop on top of lots of bubble wrap. It was a sweet and simple card that said Be Jolly on the front. Once I got through the bubble wrap, I found 4 wrapped gifts and another envelop. The manila envelop said to not open it until I unwrapped the gifts, and also apologized for the bounty of bubble wrap. I enjoy bubble wrap as much as the next person, so I didn't mind.

The rest of the photos I took this morning (Sunday) because I knew I wouldn't get any decent pics in the car. Everything was related to Doctor Who, but it was wonderful, original things. It's kind of painfully obvious that I love Doctor Who, and I've received a lot of Doctor Who merchandise in the past, but never anything like these items. I received a replica of the 10th Doctor's TARDIS key, with a really nice key ring to put it on; 3D glasses to see any lasting effects of the void (one for me, one for my husband, and a spare just in case); and a beautiful picture of one of Neonshoes' (and my) favorite quotes.

While I truly love all of the gifts, the note touched me the most. Thank you so much for reminding me that this time of year is not about the presents but about love. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic New Year!!!
