Time ticked on, and i really thought all hope was lost for the fairy tale exchange. I'd check the mailbox every morning in hopes of seeing a package or calling card telling me there is a gift waiting but i was always let down.

Santa however was awesome and communicated with me through the whole process, we were both wondering where on earth did this package end up?

We knew it would take yonks to get to lil ol' NZ but after it had been a week out from the estimated delivery time we had decided the package was lost..

Santa however decided they would re-buy and re-send me a gift anyway (Canadians, eh?), which is the most heartwarming thing ever considering it is so easy to just send a gift and forget about it.

Finally i get a message that night telling me they have re-sent the gift. Awesome!

The morning rolls around and i get a knock at the door, Its the courier holding a box and i'm thinking daaaaaaamn that was fast. Turns out the date on it was September 3rd.. The gift had arrived right as they'd sent something else.

The gift came with..

A sweet hand-written note The original Brothers Grimm! A book called Rose and The Beast, which i've never heard of but look forward to reading. Some awesome looking Tea called magic dragon + filters A Calendar that is a work of art, so rad. and a Cheeky league of legends lanyard, not sure how they knew i played that.

So now i'm sitting here feelin' pretty guilty.. but at least i get to sip on some awesome tea and read fairy tales! Merry Christmas! :)
