After getting a nice apologetic email for delays (apparently finals loomed large!), today my Secret Santa parcel arrived! the card was filled with apologies for being a terrible shopper - but Santa needs to stop apologizing. He/She hit the nail right on the head! My favorite tea, a sweet new travel mug, some calendars and music, and my absolutely favorite part - a Blackwing pencil! I am totally going to get this professionally sharpened by David Rees this February. You rock, Santa!
