So, after excitedly involving myself in Secret Santa I sent off my gifts and eagerly awaited the surprise of my Santa...But no such luck came at first.

But all good things come to those who wait.

My rematch Santa was quite possibly the most amazing person ever to be put with. My husband and I are expecting twins - that was something new for us. Turns out it wasn't for my rematch who ALSO had twins the same age as me. Had the stars aligned?

So began a long and lovely message system between myself and the new Santa. She took so much care in asking my likes and dislikes and even included my husband. She is a wonderful human being.

Then she began to tell me of the boxes...Yes boxes, plural. I was very excited.

The packages were posted, despite a snowstorm and the antipication began. Eventually (after chasing the postman around) all 3 boxes arrived.

This was like Christmas all over again.

My Santa had started with two t-shirts. One for me and my husband each. My husband was very proud of his twin making ability and this shirt summed it up perfectly. He plans to were it at the next scan. Mine was perfect and definitely summed up the two cheeky monkies living inside me at the moment. I can't wait to wear it at my baby shower.

The sweets came next, oh the sweets! I love American candy and these are some of my favourites!!! These will not be shared, that's for sure. Although I'll let my husband in on the Star Wars treats. There will be fighting over these haha.

Next the BB8 Car charger - he's my favourite character and can now go wherever with me and keep me in contact with my new found friend in my rematch. As well as being able to call the hospital in a twin emergency haha.

The letter in this box was heartwarming. My Santa thanked me...Thanked me for helping her enjoy Christmas again. Personally it's me who should do the thanking, and I can't find a card big enough. I hope this post will be a start.

Onto the next box, the homemade baby blankets. Crocheted, homemade, beautifully soft baby blankets made by her very talented daughter. They would have been enough but she's even offered to make more. Then there were the twin baby suits... The picture says it all. She knows me well.

Then the last box...labelled homemade candies. Curiosity peaked. These. Are. Delicious. Scotch Kisses - these are a new found love. Marshmallow covered in toffee, onomnomnom. I have requests from all my family to bring them. I have to share, she said so. Then the caramels, are like UK fudge. Delicious.

So generous and an excellent cook.

I honestly don't have the words to express my gratitude. I am so overwhelmed and I've made a lifelong friend.

Reddit - you are a beautiful place. I'll see you for the next one.

Big love.
