I was super excited to have my gift arrive today. It's been a rainy Monday here and presents always make Mondays better. So, since I live close to work I ran home in the rain and back to grab my package off my porch.

I knew my Santa was sending me a book, as she asked before she sent it if I had read it already or not (A hard task as I'm a Librarian and avid reader). As excited as I was to get the book, I just finished reading one yesterday afternoon, it paled in comparison to the exclamation of joy that I uttered when I saw what else the box held! A bottle of pure Vermont maple syrup, made just up the road a little ways from where I used to live in Vermont.

My Santa had no way of knowing this and I wish she could have seen how happy I was in the break room at work this morning. I was tempted to drink the bottle straight, (this tendency has earned me a number of nicknames at work including but not limited to Buddy and Canada) but I held off and I am ecstatic to be making crepés tomorrow morning with my real Vermont maple syrup.

My Santa also had no way of knowing that my grandfather used to give me homemade Vermont maple syrup, that he made, every year for Christmas until they moved out of state and it's been the most missed present under the tree every year.

There's another package on the way but it wont be here until Jan but I'll be sure to update then. But even if there wasn't this has seriously been then best gift I could have recieved. :')

Thank you so much, Santa!
