I was visiting relatives over the holidays and came back right before New Years Eve to find that I had an unexpected package in my mailbox... And what a package!

I noticed that it was a package sent from Sweden, so at first I didn't think that it was from my Secret Santa - especially since the gift wasn't marked as shipped! Boy, was I happily surprised.

I had stated in my wish that I really like Pokémon and that I explicitely did NOT want a picture of a right wing politician... And that wish was fulfilled in the best possible way, by a hand drawn picture of the leader of the Sweden Democrats (off topic I have no idea why they call themselves democrats) being attacked by a Pikachu. Wow. I was stumbled. Amazed, to say the least. Tweaking my wish into having Pikachu attack a right wing politician left me speechless. I totally love it.

But that was not all! Seeing that we both have access to things like Julskum and other typical Swedish Christmas candy, my Secret Santa decided to ship some home made sweets, typical for his/her home. There was two versions of dateballs (this really sounds like some sort of rapedrug when directly translated into english, sorry about that), some raspberry toffee and chocolate cornflake cake. I had never tried any of these before and they were totally delicious!

I chose to believe that the dateballs was even quite healthy, based on the ingridients listed on the package. My kids liked the Chocolate Cornflake Cakes the most, and my wife the raspberry toffee, so we were all happily consumers of this Chrismas Candy that we had never tried before.

Again, this is not all! I also recieved two jars of home made herbal salt. It is with a bit of grief in my heart that I realize that I might never be able to cook with them again, nor use them for my scrambled eggs, as they were totally delicious and I have no idea who my secret santa is.

TO MY SECRET SANTA: I sure hope that, if you read this, you would be able to provide the recipe for these.

And last but not least, I recieved a pair of wool socks to keep me warm while we still await the snow to come in western Sweden.

All and all, this was a perfect gift and I couldn't have wished for anything else. My Secret Santa truly provided, and with all the time, effort and soul put into making this gift I cannot be anything but grateful. So.. THANK YOU, SECRET SANTA. THANK YOU.
