Well, that does it. I have been wondering for a while whether Secret Santa is still "worth" it. After all, I made it to 100 credits, got myself a nice trophy case, have had my share of joys and disappointments, was there really any reason to continue?

And then I got this package full of great reads, and yes, yes there is. Because that feeling when I opened the envelope, and found not 1 but 3 graphic novels waiting for me, one of which is a secret pleasure and an absolute favourite, one of which has now become a favourite, and one which made me cry, and each of them came with a personal note card from a Santa that probably has the most awesomely smooth handwriting in the world... you can't replicate that feeling.

I won't tell you what the cards said (mine!), but suffice to say they made me all giddy and mushy on the inside. Santa, I am happy you experienced the fantastic artwork and great setting of Sunstone (you can find more volumes online), I can totally see why Snotgirl made it in this package, and THANK YOU for Ikebana.

I need to apologise to my slummykikki though, for taking my sweet time posting this gift. I was in the middle of a cross-Atlantic move though, so I hope I am forgiven. Otherwise, I will happily take a spanking ;)
