The 2018 Christmas Wrap-Up

[kristensk]

So, as usual, the end of Fandom Stocking marks the last of the holiday season. *sniffle* All the decorations are down, and everyone's gone home. But, it was a good time. I got into my cooking groove again, making gingersnaps, two batches of peanut butter fudge (one for giving away), and my first solo batch of regular marshmallow cream fudge. The part where it had to boil for some minutes while I stirred frantically was nerve-wracking, but the results were delicious. And, besides the food, I received many awesome presents.

My fandom stocking was stuffed with many lovely things, including greetings, images, icons, and so many nummy-sounding Italian recipes. I look forward to trying them out! There was also this gem of a fanfic gift from enemytosleep set in the FMA mangaverse with more of Team Greedling's antics while they were on the lam, something I never get tired of.

Otherwise, I now have a load of movies to watch and re-watch. This was the year of nostalgia as I got a copy of "The Neverending Story", which I haven't seen since I lost my VHS copy, and the lovely 30th anniversary edition of "Transformers: The Movie" on blu-ray. Besides those, mintysage hooked me up with the Voltron: From Days of Long Ago thirtieth anniversary book. And then, for a bit of more recent nostalgia, jordannamorgan found me this in the box. ...I confess I left it in the box for quite a while just to savor probably the last bit of Inuyasha merchandise I'll ever get to unbox. Especially as I had no idea these little statuettes existed despite, obviously if you look at the photo, collecting the Toynami figures.

So, thank you so much to everyone!

I wondered if you were going to unbox the Inuyasha figure. :D *has an X2 Wolverine her parents gave her as a joke that's never come out of the package*

I spent a bit thinking about it, but I really do like him on display with no obscuring plastic... and his hand attached ;) (The figure in the picture that is still in the box is there because he has a fluffy, white accessory that would be impossible to keep clean.)
