I was heading out the door to run an errand when I saw a house-shaped box covered in news-ads on my step. There was no mistaking that this package was from my Secret Santa!

Errands forgotten, I rushed inside to open my package. My boyfriend teased me that I was opening it too carefully, but I gave him an I-told-you-so look when I saw the self-deprecating little note my Santa had written on the side.

Out of the box I pulled a new friend - a bear with a penguin hat and an U of O Ducks jersey, with a little note from febreezy, my Santa!

Thank you so much febreezy! This little guy brightened my day, and we've already nicknamed him Manfred (after Day9's little guy). We'll be sure to hug him when we're watching scary movies, and he'll live in our guest room to comfort any overnight guests we have.
