I was woken at the dreadful time of 8AM on my day off by the mail man, with a bunch of packages (christmas orders and stuff), and how nice - he's got my Amazon package... with Snoo on it? Wait - that can only mean one thing! SECRET SANTA GIFT HAS ARRIVED! WOOHOO!

This is of course a pleasant surprise as the tracking # provided still had December 18 written as the expected day of delivery! And considering my santa had written that it could take 6 weeks+ for it to arrive, I'm even more surprised! Canada Post must be a magically efficient postal service. The box is rather large, so obviously I'm curious what was inside. Opening it up, I could spot a note and some snacks. The note was a very nice, polite and somewhat apologetic (living up to the Canadian stereotype!) and it described all the items in the box in detail.

I had mentioned in my likes, that I'd like to visit Canada someday, so my santa decided that I should have some local Canadian stuff to keep me going until I eventually will visit. Very nice :D

First thing in the box is a bag of Cruncheez, which I've never heard of before. But cheesy snacks have always been a good thing, so I'm sure I'm going to enjoy these - probably even with a drink and a chocolate bar as suggested in the note!

Next up is a series of resealable bags with exciting stuff on the inside! First, there's a bottle of Canadian Club whisky. I did not know that you could get Canadian whisky! I also mentioned that I'd like to visit Scotland because I like scotch - so my santa clearly paid attention to my likes and added the Canadian equivalent. I'm looking forward to try this!

Next is a small bottle of icewine and brandy. Again, I know what brandy is, but I've never heard of icewine. The note said not to drink it by itself as it might be a little too much. According to the box it's a dessert wine and a little googling reveals that it should go well with ice cream, so I'll have to try that :)

Finally, there's a gorgeous maple leaf-shaped bottle of syrup. Can it get any more Canadian? It's not maple syrup, though, but icewine syrup. We usually have a bottle of syrup ready for whenever I make pancakes, but we've been out for a while, so this is perfect! If nothing else, I would imagine that this could also go well with ice cream.

Maybe not a present in itself, but something I'm also very happy about - small resealable bags! I always need these, but I always forget to buy them. They can be used for everything :)

Also my cat seemed to enjoy the box everything arrived in, so it really does seem like there's something for everyone here :D

Also - bonus picture of my cat raiding my breakfast while I was enthusiastically taking pictures of everything.

Thank you so much santa! This was an awesome gift and a great way to bring a little bit of Canada to Denmark. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be drinking Canadian whisky at 10AM on my day off :)
