So this year my gift came early! I was super excited for my gift to arrive and was very happy with what my Santa selected for me. I was for sure all over the place with my information so the card that was enclosed with the very confused dinosaur was totally perfect! My Santa included a lovely note with a short description of his life and how he gets to be home with his wife and 6 month old daughter. How very cool that with a brand new baby he took time to join Reddit's Secret Santa club and to hand pick items for me!

My gift included a very cool wine carrier (which will be put to very good use - I love wine!) Also I was sent a fun crab cookie from Maryland that my hubby has already tried to steal from me!

Best of all though was 2 pairs of slippers from Uzbekistan, where my Santa grew up. How great are these slippers. My son and I are modeling the slippers and I have to say they were definitely my favorite gifts as they are so very different from any slippers I have ever seen and I believe that they are most likely hand made. I love them!

The yummy Happy Hippo candies were TERRIBLE! And when I say TERRIBLE I really mean TO DIE FOR! Thank you Secret Santa for adding 10 pounds to my already generous body just before Christmas. I seriously think that I ate almost the entire box by myself! So yummy!

Thank you so much to my Secret Santa! I wish you a very happy holiday season and a wonderful, happy, healthy and prosperous 2018!
