Let us be clear, the fact that this is a late post thanking my Santa does not mean my Santa was tardy or did not send me a gift. It is because I plan badly* and am a horrible human.

But we digress, let us get back to my awesome Santa.

Santa hit it out of the park. She/He started by sending me a thoughtful handwritten note wishing me an amazing Christmas and even making someone cut onions in the room by mentioning what a good life my dog who died this year seemed to have had.(Miss you Kirby!). So, 10 out of 10 for Feels!

Santa sent me amazing Sherlock Holmes goodies to prepare me for Season 4. I already sport the iPhone case and the wallet. 10/10 for Nerdy!

Santa send me a psychedelic salad kit for indoor gardening while I wait for Boston to stop being freaking cold! I love gardening and this will likely keep me sane for the next few months, and you know Massachusetts is psychedelic friendly so something good happened in the elections. 10/10 for kickass.

And then Santa also send me a really pretty diary for taking notes on books. The book is chockful of lovely illustrations and recommendations for books plus obviously taking notes on books. I read a LOT and this is going to be so fun to fill out and look back on to see what I read over the years. 10/10 for Surprising the giftee.

So you see, Santa you won Secret Santa. I am so supremely sorry that I am late. This is no way is a reflection on how I felt about your generosity, thoughtfullness, and love. I will carry this with me for the rest of my life. Thank so very much!
