I'd been hearing how awesome this present was for about two months. I was warned ahead of time that it probably wasn't going to make it in time for the big day, which is fine with me, and since Christmas I've been getting almost weekly updates as to the progress of this mysterious gift. I heard alternately that it was an amazing spectacle and that there was absolutely no way I would be able to guess what it was. The anticipation ruled my life for many weeks.
On Friday as I walked through the door, Toni stopped me and said, "Okay first. I have to preface this by telling you that the reason it took so long is because this was hand made in the Ukraine and it had to be constructed, painted, and shipped here."
That was the point I realized she wasn't kidding when she said I would never be able to guess what it was.
Words really won't do it justice, so here you go:
I have a small to moderate fascination with Bruce Willis (in short, I love him), and Toni found this place on the interwebs that made these and ordered it for me. I mean, wow. This is a legendary Christmas gift. It has definitely earned a place in the Hall of Fame. I think the biggest and smallest ones are both from Armageddon, I think the 2nd largest and 2nd smallest are both from Die Hard and I'm not entirely sure about the middle one but it could be either Moonlighting or Hudson Hawk.
Let me also tell you that while taking the last picture my new digital camera utilized the facial recognition feature and after I snapped the picture it informed me that one or more of the subjects may have blinked. I explained to my camera that it was wrong, it was more of a glare than a blink.
Well worth the wait. I know you're jealous, it's ok.
