My package has arrived! Big thank you to my my secret santa! I was relieved to see "No Chinchillas Included" written on the outer box since my dog would have ripped them apart given the chance.

I loved the hints he/she put on each package. They were labeled as Bright, Shiny, Comfy, Sexy, Cozy, Spooky, Scary. I tried to guess the contents of each as I opened them but was wrong almost everytime (I did guess that "Bright" was pinball lighting related).

The "Shiny" item was safecracker token. This was nice because I'll never be able to earn my own. Everytime I played a Safecracker that was setup with the token dispenser at shows, I was never good enough to earn one (I did howver score a custom token from Nick Baldridge's multi-race challenge at the York show a few years back).

The "Bright" items were an assortment of LED's, sockets, reflectors, and incandescent bulbs, yes bulbs. My SS did their homework and saw I like new LCD games just as much as older EM's. The plethora of sockets and reflectors will be put to good use on my next retheme which is going to include a lot of extra lighting to fit the theme I've chosen.

The "Cozy" item was a pair of cool pinball themed socks. They will be definitely be worn at the next pinball show I attend (hopefully sooner than later). I'm going to have to hide these though since my four daughters love funky socks and will probably steal them if they see them. They already steal most of my pinball shirts.

The "Scary" item was a funky acrylic block with retro pinball themed backglass art in it. I'm not sure if it's from an actual game or not (looks similar style to one of those Spanish or Italian one from the 70's or 80's?). Love this style of pinball art. Will look great on my DVD shelf next to my King Kong acrylic block of film frames.

The "Sexy" item is a very cool art piece with 5 of my favorite spooky ladies: Vampira, Lily Munster, Elvira, The Bride, and Morticia. All these ladies have made it to a pinball game except for Vampira, maybe Spooky Pinball will do something with her in the future? This art fits perfectly with my other gameroom decor.

The "Spooky" item was a very cool Scary Terry Tiki mug. This is perfect timing as my old Walking Dead mug at work is ready to be retired and I've been thinking about getting a new work mug. As Scary Terry would say "Nice mug, Bitch !!!! "

The "Comfy" item shows how well my SS did their research to choose items that I would like. It's a custom fleece blanket with Batman 66 art on it. I was actually going to buy one of these fleece blankets as a dust cover for my Batman66 game but hadn't gotten around to it yet. It looks great on the game!

Thanks so much to my secret santa for all the awesome gifts!
