After handing out new sticks and kicks, the jolly old man known as Laxy Claus still had one more package for me.

What a glorious Christmas morning!

I was definitely not expecting a brand new Cascade CPX-R under (ok, technically beside) the Christmas tree, even though I was in the market for a new lid.

The Venom's run its course

Originally, I planned to buy a black Pro-7 when I submitted the Valley order.  But since this beauty arrived (and in CILA’s official colors no less), that plan has been tossed aside like a plate of tomatoes.

412 dislikes the spoiler/lizards tail, but it's grown on me

Not long after the last present was opened, I applied the mohawk decal.  Then I remembered that my good friend Payu sent me something special a few months back.

Sort of completes the look, doesn't it?

Well, I certainly enjoyed the wonderful gifts that Laxy Claus brought me this year.  I hope all of you can say the same!  I’m definitely looking forward to breaking out my new toys over the coming months!
