Update My Secret Santa also mailed me a small box of homemade cookies. Sadly, I was quick to eat them all before taking a pictures! Again Thank you!! <3

To whomever was my Santa - Thank you.

I'm not sure if you knew, maybe the fates aligned in a just a way, but your gift(s) meant a lot to me - more that just getting "something"

You see, I lost my mom in July suddenly from a glioblastoma (Brain cancer). Her passing had me feeling pretty down about the whole holiday experience. Things have been pretty damn depressing and as the holidays approached, I was getting worse with things.

She had a unique way of doing things for the holidays. Something quirky and something sweet. In fact, my last gift I got from her - last Christmas, was a pair of wacky socks and a pretty bracelet. I didn't know at the time that would have been my last gift from her.

Then I got your gift in two parts - First a pair of Wonder Woman Socks. I loved them, I thought they were neat and perfect to wear to my kickball games in the spring. I thought that was the end of it and I was cool with that! But on Christmas Eve, USPS delivered a small envelope that contained a bracelet with a 4 leaf clover on it. (At Thanksgiving, I unfortunately lost my favorite 4 leaf clover bracelet.)

When I put the two gifts together, I couldn't help but feel that my mom was still with me for this Christmas. For that I cannot thank you enough. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You provided me a comfort that I needed to get through the holidays. Seriously, you are an amazing soul and I appreciate your time and thoughts this Christmas. May you have a wonderful holiday with endless blessings.
