OMG it's like you're psychic. My girlfriend and I just watched The Grinch like two hours ago, and I was commenting on how I want a light-shooting gun like that one! That's just funny.

And I agree - decorating just makes everything feel so much better. Lighter, brighter, and more merry. :)

As for the riddle - it's the lake, isn't it? :)

It is! More specifically, the Black Lake, which is ironic since the water is green.

As you open the box, you find a lovely green shell. The merpeople have asked you to use it well.

Hah. c: I watched that movie a few nights ago. It always creeps me out for some reason. Do you have other holiday movies lined up to watch?

I'm heading to bed. I hope you sleep well!

The movie doesn't creep me out, but the one girl at the very beginning that goes up to the Grinch's cave with her friends - the one wearing all pink - does freak me out. Her face just unnerves me lol.

My family LOVES to watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation every year, and I really enjoy Elf. The Santa Clause is a classic I like to watch over and over, too. :)

Have a good night! Thank you again for the riddle prize! <3

Chocolate is the right answer! You win ! I'll be sending it over shortly. Congrats! <3

Ahaha. Unfortunately no, the answer was not talking bacon. That was a valiant effort though! :P

Here's another riddle for you all!

Thank you for the book! <3 These riddles are super fun. :D

I know the answer to this one, too, but I'll let someone else take a crack at it! <3

Is the answer to Wandlore?

The answer to the eleventh box is Wandlore. Congrats! :D

New notice: We're going to up the present limit to four gifts since there are so few participants!

I just watched Lampoons Christmas for the first time last year! It's pretty funny, although I feel I'm out of the loop since I haven't seen any other Lampoon movies. I usually watch A Christmas Story and Scrooged. I really need to see Elf again. Those are great fun!

Congrats on getting that one right!

Is Moste Potente Potions? :)

Some of the Lampoon movies are fantastic, but some are awful. The good ones are National Lampoons Vacation and National Lampoons Vegas Vacation. European Vacation is pretty awesome, too. All the others (the "new" ones) are awful.

A Christmas Story is another great one, it's my younger nephew's favorite. <3

in the fake Locket I think

You've got it! :) You open the package to find a worn locket inside. You cross your fingers and hope it's not cursed. How are you doing, hun?

You've also solved the riddle! I've heard that same thing about the newer Lampoon movies. Isn't there supposed to be another one out soon? I've been meaning to grab A Christmas Story from the library to have something to read during the holidays. I don't really have anything on my book list that is seasonal at the moment.

Hi :) I'm doing good and you ? (it's not curse, luckily I'm fine XD)

I'm doing well. I just got out of school (teaching) this semester, so I have some free time to relax now. c:

I've been worried about you! I hope you and your family are able to enjoy this Christmas (that is, if you celebrate it). Are you prepared for the holidays?

Sorry I got you worried :/ I'm spending Christmas with my family, got all the presents ready ^^ I'm working in a bookstore for the holidays as well. What are your plans for your vacation?

You're okay. I'm just glad you guys are doing well! That is great that you are working in a bookstore. I'll bet it's super busy right now.

I'm still working my other job but just a few days each week. Honestly, I've been lounging around the house a lot, reading some books but not doing much. I plan to see my family this Christmas too. I've been hoarding presents for a month now. It's so hard to wait. xD

Awww I came here to solve some riddles and they're all solved! Better luck next time, Mary.
