I had checked the tracking on my SS gift to make sure someone would be home when it arrived, and I wasn't expecting it until Wednesday, so I was surprised to find a box on my stoop this afternoon. The first thing that touched me was how each gift had a note written on paint sample chips. No, my SS was not being thrifty, they knew that hubby and I have been working on renovations, and the samples were such a cute tie in to let me know they were an excellent Santa.

I opened the glittery gold box first, to find a beautiful scarf in Twins colors, so perfect for opening day, when it's probably going to be hovering around freezing.

The next one to get torn into, like a the child I am, tickled me beyond words. A skein of gorgeous, purple merino wool yarn and a GOT themed crochet project bag! Who even knew that was a thing? Winter is here, and I'll be crocheting some toasty warm gloves as fast as I can.

The next little wrapped and bowed tube was another thoughtful, and clever gift, themed around my house projects. I'm a paranormal junkie, and SS was spot on when they chose a sage smudge stick, to cleanse my space when the work is done.

A thin, beautifully wrapped package was next, with a note saying "for a date night". A Fandango gift certificate will soon be used for a cuddle fest with my hubby at the local theater (where they have reclining loveseats and we're allowed to bring blankets YAY!)

And finally, for my guilty pleasure love of dark chocolate and bacon, some wild boar bacon, bacon hot cocoa mix, and the most delicious bar of dark chocolate with bacon (which has already been greedily devoured...and it was DELICIOUS!)

To my Secret Santa, who chooses to remain anonymous...You've made my Christmas. That a stranger would be so thoughtful, and so generous, reinforces my belief in the best of people. Thank you doesn't cover it. You are truly a rock star of Secret Santa's, and I'll always remember your kindness.
