Okay, so I've been having a tough week, so it's safe to say I was already a little emotionally stunted, but this gift totally made me happy-cry a little.

First, upon opening the box, I was greeted with a letter explaining the town my Santa is from: Huntsville, Alabama! Huntsville sounds like a super interesting place, especially if you're interested in the sciences! I love science!

Second, I came across some "pre-cards." I mentioned that I participate in Postcrossing (kind of like redditgifts, but with postcards). Santa's joke about the "pre-cards" becoming "postcards" is what started the happy tears. I needed a laugh like that! You can see the joke in one of the pictures.

Santa also sent a Miss Baker plush! I didn't know the story behind her, but I learned that she was among the first monkeys to be sent into space and return safely. Quite a feat!

My Santa also sent a super awesome NASA jacket! This is actually perfect, because every Spring/Fall (and even winter) I always complain that I don't have any light jackets to wear, but I never bought one. Now I don't need to! And it's not an exaggeration to say I can't wait for it to start getting colder so I can start using it (I hate the heat...where are you, Fall?).

But, wait! That's not all! I naturally stuck my hands in the pockets of the jacket and was actually slightly startled! Inside the left hand pocket was a Sneaky Ninja Rocket! This is when the happy tears really got going. That tiny, seemingly insignificant act of doing something fun with a small gift just made the whole gift even better (I told you, I'm emotionally deranged this week!), and it was just a super witty decision. I love wit!

So thanks so much, Santa! You made a crappy week astronomically better (see what I did there?) and I can't thank you enough :)
