\"img_1553\"<\/a>Spoiler Alert: Today is a good day. <\/p>\n

Today’s door is the biggest of the entire calendar. <\/p>\n

There’s something unexpected in the calendar today. Go ahead and make a prediction before reading further. <\/p>\n

_______________________________<\/p>\n

Now, let’s see if you’re right. <\/p>\n

Today we get…<\/p>\n

\"img_1656\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A rock. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Eh. Whatever. <\/p>\n

When what to my wandering eyes did appear, but a button. It has a button. I pushed the button, because I’m human and humans push buttons. Nothing happened. <\/p>\n

Flipping the rock over, my wandering eyes noticed there’s a battery chamber. I unscrewed the mythical chamber, added an enchanted triple-A battery and then my wandering eyes saw this:<\/p>\n

\"img_1658\"<\/a>The rock glows! It’s a glowing crystal rock. It’s a clear piece that glows electric blue! <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"img_1659\"<\/a>You can’t tell from these photos, but the glowing power isn’t just one constant stream of light. The light flashes and pulses, like imprisoned lightning. It’s glorious. <\/p>\n

\"img_1667\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I thought the Bronze Ladle was great but this glowing rock is some genuine wizard work. If you time travel to cowboy times (and I’m assuming that’s possible if I figure out the right spell to cast over the crystal) cowboys would freak out over this “toy” and probably shoot you in the face for witchcraft. <\/p>\n

\"img_1664\"<\/a>Hezzy and Kayla even stopped bickering (briefly) to admire the light. <\/p>\n

HEZZY:<\/strong> Wow.
\nKAYLA:<\/strong> IT’S SO PRETTY!
\nHEZZY:<\/strong> Merry Christmas, baby,
\nKAYLA:<\/strong> Merry Christmas, Hezz.
\nHEZZY:<\/strong> Why did you make out with Barry at ventriloquism camp?
\nKAYLA:<\/strong> It was a vocal exercise!!!<\/p>\n

\"img_1661\"<\/a>If today offers up electronic rocks, what can possibly be in tomorrow’s final door?<\/p>\n

Day 23 Rating:<\/strong> 5 out of 5 (Points added for giving me Christmas power!)<\/p>\n

See you tommorrow!<\/p>\n
