(I took a little long to post, sorry!)

This year's santa is the best I ever had. Honestly, I'm sad that everyone can't get someone like her as their Santa every year.

In the single packaged box, there were 6(!) individually wrapped presents, filled with holiday decorations, candy canes, candybars, hot cocoa and so many little things. The inside of the box was lined with wrapping paper and each present were wrapped either in green or red paper while the number pointed to unwrapping them in sequence. So here they are:

My Santa knew I liked the Raspberry Pi but couldn't afford it so she made Raspberry Pies and shipped them to me as a consolation. Well, I can tell you I love anything sweet and the pies were delicious. Well, look at that! Santa was just trolling me as she actually got me the Raspberry Pi 3B+ board! This is awesome. Thank you! I had also noted in my profile that I like lasagna so Santa opted for a dinner take-out. A cutout of Amy Adams, my most favorite actress. I loved her in Arrival! Santa thought it is appropriate to wear the perfect cologne when on a dinner date: Sex Panther (from Anchorman)! Well, the jury's still out on the proclaimed result of "60% of the time, it works every time"! lol Finally, the last one is the best: "Good Clean Fun" by Nick Offerman. Such a wonderful book to break into carpentry, something I've kept an interest in for the future.

The gifts are so thoughtful, with little fun jokes or references for some and endless utility for the others. There is a perfect balance amongst the gifts and I'm sure Santa was busy for hours if not days about the perfect planning. This has been my best Christmas gift of my life so far and I feel so connected to a perfect stranger because of it. Santa, I may not have met you or known you other than our messages here but I have had the pleasure of interacting with one of the best people on the planet. The original Santa has nothing on you!

Best wishes in this New Year and forever!
