So I've been having a pretty bad few days health-wise. I just got home from the hospital for more tests when I saw my Hockey Santa's gift!

My Santa gave me a Red Wings official game puck and the book "100 Things Red Wings Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die." As a new fan (and as a lover of trivia!), I look forward to devouring this book. I'm sure my family will curse you, though, because I spout off too much hockey babble as it is (but I totally <3 you for it).

I have also proudly displayed the puck in my bookshelf/display case place where I put my limited, but growing, hockey paraphernalia. :D

Aside from shipping this gift hella fast (I got it in 3 business days from the US to the Philippines!!!), my Santa was also kind enough to prepay the import tax for me so I didn't have to pay for anything when the gift got here (admittedly something I was dreading. Customs here can be ridiculous.)

Thank you very much, Santa. Besides helping to console me from our first round exit, your gift also helped me forget my real life issues for a bit. Man, I love elf matching!
