I had been trying to pick up these gifts for ages. I literally tracked them online every day until Parcelforce tried to deliver them. They had to come all the way from Canada to London - so I was a bit anxious!

Finally, the last day of term came (I am a teacher) and I had some free time to get to the post office before it closed. I had to queue for 20 minutes and as I didn't have the tracking numbers or delivery cards I was worried they would turn me away. Luckily they didn't and as soon as the man brought the two parcels to the counter I could see all of the reddit pictures and logos. I couldn't help but smile!

They wee quite heavy and I had all my work stuff, so it was a bit of a mission to get them home. I'd come this far so I was determined, now.

I opened the long tube first, because a bit of the paper had started to break at one end. I literally squealed when I saw it was the Skyrim poster!! I had been longing for Skyrim ever since I had finished Oblivion, but I had stated clearly that I was banned from buying it myself as another family member was getting it for me as a Christmas present.

This gift is absolutely perfect. There is a hug bare wall in my bedroom and I would love to put it up there. My SS suggested that I should get it framed, and that is not a bad idea at all!

I then opened the box and started reading the letter. It said that if I hadn't opened all of my gifts then I should already. I pulled off the newspaper packing from the top (which I thought was quite interesting in itself...) to find lots of lovely wrapped presents! The smell of coffee was amazing...

The chocolate bars had already opened themselves (knew I was coming, clearly) and my SS had nailed that I have such a sweet tooth. I then opened all of the presents, one by one. I was excited to received Canadian gifts that I wouldn't get anywhere else. I was also super excited to find a blu ray movie, too!

The first time I had ever watched "It's a Wondeful Life" was last Christmas with my Dad, so I was super happy to have my own copy and to be able to watch before I went home to be with my family for the holidays.

And finally one of the most thoughtful gifts I've received in a long while. I always bang on about needing coffee or drinking coffee on twitter - so my SS as a roaster had roasted me some coffee and sent it to me. I don't have a grinder but my parents do, so we will most definitely be drinking this coffee on Christmas day and I will be bringing the rest back to London with me (I promise to forward you pictures of us drinking it on Christmas day :D).

I finished reading the letter and automatically had to stalk my Santa. Thank you so much John (Avrus)! You well an truly have made my Christmas with your thoughtful gifts :)
