I should probably say up-front: I love postcards.

No, I really, really love postcards. They are literally the only thing I collect, and I have hundreds of them (most of which I have collected myself in my travels or that friends picked up on their adventures for me).

Even though I do (in all seriousness) have hundreds of postcards my Postcard Santa, RadioJen, still managed to send me something I have never received before. She sent me several postcards that were personalised, fun but overall... honestly, special.

I was away when these arrived, but going by the dates on the back of the postcards the first one that arrived was an hilarious postcard featuring RadioJen's amazing mother! After a very long, stressful day at work coming home to a postcard featuring a photo of a 77 year old woman wearing a Tiara, Rooster head and a Rooster Grim Reaper outfit was perfect.

Jen, your mother sounds like she has a great sense of humour!

The second postcard introduced me to my Santa -the lovely Jen! Also to her adorable looking dog Ruby, and some of the beautiful scenery from close to where she lives. Jen told me a little about herself, which was honestly really nice to read about because although I do have hundreds of postcards I have virtually none with any personalised messages. Thank you for telling me about yourself Jen! You sound like a wonderful lady. :)

The last (but not least!) postcard featured a photo of Lake Ontario and a very old tree in Olcott Beach on the front, and on the back a message giving me a snapshot of a day in the life of Jen's family.

JEN, THANK YOU!

You are the most perfect postcard santa I could have imagined. Stay awesome.

UPDATE: Radiojen still continues to be utterly magnificent. Since posting originally I have received 5 more postcards.

Jen, I've only got one thing to say....
