My Santa told me that my package would take a few weeks to ship from Canada, but once early October rolled around, I had pretty much given up hope. Imagine my surprise then when, on October 29th, I got a call that I had a package in the mail room. There it was, a pristine, never-opened package that had a ton of stamps on it. From the looks of it, it travelled to about 5 other countries before finally making its way to me. Better late than never!

Inside was a lovely note, a new fountain pen (a Sheaffer Pop) in my favourite color, and three fountain pen friendly notebooks. You're right, Santa - one can never have too many! :) I will be putting them to good use as I continue to study for my financial exams.

Anyways, I greatly appreciate the gift, and it brightened what had been a pretty crap day. Since I ended up getting two gifts this round, I will be paying this forward by being a rematch Santa for the Christmas exchange.
