After my New Year's Eve turned sour, I was thinking that 2013 was already off to a bad start and I was destined for a whole 365 days of lonely bitterness. But then I came home and after some post-holiday stress eating on leftover cookies, noticed a package with my name on it. Finally, my mystery secret santa's gift has arrived in the bitter cold lands of the midwestern US from the land of kangaroos and koala bears. Cue a much happier copywriteher who is already more optimistic for the new year. This package couldn't have come at a better time.

Also to note is my Santa made my first Reddit Secret Santa amazing! She made a fake twitter account to follow me and @ reply me occasionally. A lot of back and forth banter had me so giddy about the exchange and I'm so glad I did it!
