COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

wifey is out so I'm going to have to post pictures using my laptop, so excuse the terrible quality.
Remember I posted the parcel when it arrived?

The stamp is maybe a clue?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Then inside I have just discovered :

Not the stockings, but the parcel.
Again, is the wrapping paper some sort of indication?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

And inside :

It's a bag!
Hmmmm.
One of those games where you keep unwrapping layers until there is a tiny thing in the middle!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Is the bag another clue as the the identity of my TORTOISE sender?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Item 1

Are there more clues here?
It is a pad of quality drawing paper.
For my quality drawings.
Of Saturn.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it ! ! ! ! !
Thank you TORTOISE sender ! ! ! !

Number 3
Sorry again, the picture doesn't do it justice.

It's a pencil with a Viking on top and on the sides


Lovely.
Thank you very much TORTOISE sender ! ! ! !!
A very merry Christmas to you whoever you may be!
I love my presents.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

No, though the pencil needs to be sharpened, everything else seems okay!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Next should be TWO ! ! !
But i don't think she's about at the moment, so we have a choice.
We can wait for Jane to appear or someone else can open theirs.
What do you think, peeps?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Adam! I hope you enjoy lots of good cheese with Wifey and can use the little board for that. And the rest - for your records of your fossil collection. Or drawings of Saturn, whichever you prefer.
Love to you and your family.

I think nobody else has found us in the dark yet. Shall I open mine? Wish @AZtortMom was here.

OK, I’m FOUR, but here I go...
The package came from Amazon, so I retrieved the gorgeous blue “sack” a couple of weeks ago.
This is what it looks like:

 

[Maro2Bear]

Like Kinder Eggs..... Or Cracker Jacks.... The Surprize is in the middle. Unwrapping...unwrapping, unwrapping.

 

[Kristoff]

The first peek inside:

And...

I’ve called my daughter to help:

 

[Kristoff]

This is the most gorgeous sun-powered light!
