I received a wonderful Christmas book and holiday card from my Santa... From AUSTRALIA! The card has a platypus, koala, and kangaroo on the front. There was also a bird perched on the kangaroo but I have no idea what kind of bird it is. I'll have to look that up later, hehe. There was also a thoughtful handwritten note inside the card. Thank you for taking the time to write and send me such an awesome package!

I read the book and it was pretty funny, especially because some of the lines totally confused me. It's amazing to me that we can be speaking the same language, yet there are so many words that don't get used in both countries. The wombat Santa is so cute and it was awesome to see how different the scenery and animals were compared to typical American Christmas books. The animals were all so adorable! I love koalas and it was cool to see so many of them everywhere. If only koalas were more common in the U.S.!

I had an awesome Holiday Cards exchange experience (my match was also Australian!), and I just wanted you to know that you and your family were a part of that! I'll be pulling out the book every Christmas from across the world!

Thanks again! I hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas. I wish you all happiness and good health this coming year!
