My secret santa Ikorut messaged me to say that my profile wasn't helping much, so I told her that if all else fails just send something local.

I got this package containing a great book on the history of Des Moines, Iowa (which is fantastic because I have never been there and don't really know anything about Des Moines). There was also a nice card and $20 (I bought my family dinner at waffle house)!

I also want to send a special shout out and a warm hug to my santa because I just looked it up on weather.gov and it's ULTRA FREAKING COLD up there in Iowa. Wow!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
