I did a couple of exchanges and I really hope I was able to connect the correct package with the correct exchange. I apologize in advance if I messed it up!

There are three things that make life worth living: going on adventures, chocolate, and reading. And my 300 Santa managed to hit all of them. Amazingness came in the form of a couple of packages.

I am incredibly jealous of my Santa's creativity and artsy-ness. One of the packages had a couple bundles inside covered wrapping paper with stickers that looked like old fashioned luggage stamps and tags...way more creative than I could ever dream of being. Inside these fantastically wrapped packages (it was a little hard to convince myself to open them because they were so pretty and I actually still have the wrapping!) was chocolate. The second love of my life. A box of chocolates and then a chocolate bar that was so yummy I didn't get around to taking a picture of it before it was eaten.

The first and third loves of my life were delivered via Amazon: Some books about traveling. I mentioned in my interests that I would really like to visit the Middle East sometime and my Santa kindly provided me with a travel guide that covers several countries I would really like to visit, as well as a guide about nifty, less touristy areas around the world (my favorite places that I've visited have always ended up being the smaller, more out of the way, and less busy places).

There was also a book about hiking the Appalachian Trail. I did a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail last summer and am kind of hooked on long distance hiking...I hope to do the CDT next year and the AT sometime after that. This will raise the stoke level considerably!

Santa, you did an incredible job finding things that fit me perfectly. Thanks so much!
