Time to open the chest!
The first drawer on the chest will be used for today and day 3, and has a painted Santa hat with a spider dangling from the tip.
Pulling open the drawer isn't the smoothest, but inside is a tissue-wrapped package.
Sadie likes the drawers because they remind her of the morgue. She's hoping the gift is a cadaver!
There's only one thing in the shared drawer, because, with the inability to have gotten every gift ready from the start, I'm playing by the rules of my childhood Advent elf--the calendar only contains the gift of that very day, delivered nightly. This way, there's no cheating.
The package is wrapped in pink tissue--just like Sadie's coffin!--and tied at the ends like a candy. A tag marks the day and there's a drawing of a candle on it.
Unwrapping it reveals another Mini-- the Ghost of Christmas Past!
This was absolutely a buffer gift--I didn't get any arrivals of other options yet, so Past hopped into day 2. I really don't want to run the Christmas Carol cast out all consecutively, but I can if I need to. I pre-wrapped the Minis and drew associated symbols on their tags so I could remember who was in which wrap, and that let me draw a number on afterward when I decided what day they'd land on. Adaptability!
Sadie's thinking about writing a letter to Satan to get her Advent imp sorted out, but she still likes Christmas Past. We're both hoping for a bit ot a change of pace tomorrow. If not, it's what it is.
Happy trio so far. :) if you're waiting on post, it's an advent surprise for you too!
