The Grinch's heart was three times its size as he ordered a Doctor Who Limited Edition Loot Crate for the family this year. It arrived early so we had an early Christmas Present. While Stephen has always been a Doctor Who fan (from early on watching Tom Baker, the Fourth Doctor with Grandpa PurdyCool back in the 80s - An example: Horror of Fang Rock, also available for free at Netflix), recently the rest of the PurdyCool family joined the fun with the modern era Doctors (ninth, tenth, eleventh and now twelfth doctors). Wendy has of course gone above and beyond, having started watching the Doctors from the very beginning and listening to Doctor Who podcasts for good measure (try Lazy Doctor Who, Radio Free Skaro, or The Verity Podcast). The girls especially have gotten into the series and show mythology. As a result when Loot Crate announced this one, I couldn't resist. Turns out I was right - quite a few neat things in there and we loved it. The girls, not unexpectedly seized most of it for their own and took off! The video is below for your amusement. Of note, one of the Loot Crate items made us call out Grandma PurdyCool....

There were enough cool items in here (for us at least) to warrant its own special picture below. The T-shirt alone is almost too cute for words. For those unfamiliar with Doctor Who Lore, the "Weeping Angels" are a modern Doctor Who monster - they move rapidly but freeze in place if you look at them - prompting the modern Doctor Who slogan sometimes heard "Don't Move..Don't Even Blink". Pretty freaky and on par with the Daleks in all-time cool monsters. The rest of the Loot includes a sonic screwdriver toy, a mini Doctor Who figure (12th doctor), a Doctor Who sound key chain (with six classic sounds), the Tardis cake sprinkles, a comic and a summary document with outlines of the twelve doctors (plus War Doctor) on the back. The box itself reversed into a Tardis as well. Very Cool Stuff and guaranteed PurdyCool.
