My Santa killed it. I woke up to a knock on the door today, and opened it to find a large package on my porch. I pulled out the first gift, and then slid the rest of the contents out to find a sweet card. With dreams of running my own authentic Mexican restaurant one day, my santa "a full blooded mexican" got me the America's Test Kitchen Mexican cookbook! Every year for Christmas Eve my family has a mexican feast, full of mole, tamales, and of course, tequila. Except we usually buy our tamales from Mexican Town in Detroit. NOT THIS YEAR! I can't wait to make and bring my own homemade tamales! I hope my santa knows how much I truly appreciate this gift. There are a lot of other great recipes in there too, and I am beyond excited to try them out!

Next, there was a giant rope, perfect for both of my big dogs to play with. It will be loved, that's for sure.

Finally, there was one more small gift that my cat seemed to really like. I opened it up to find a catnip toy! I haven't even taken the packaging off it yet and my cat is obsessed!

Thank you so much, Santa. For the gifts, and the words of encouragement. This is perfect, and all will be well loved. :)
