Today I got the UPS text message telling me my Amazon package was delivered. When my gift was marked as "Shipped" the word "Amazon" was in the tracking info space so I was expecting it. Luckily I got home only about 20 minutes later!

First off, I'll give a bit of back info. In my bio I wrote that I love anything even remotely instrument-esque. I really do - I play many, many instruments and own a lot of them (It's a bit of a habit to collect anything that makes musical noise), and I've played like half my life in many different formats. Music has always been a huge part of my life, even now when I don't play in an organized band, and I am totally drawn to anything relating to it. I also wrote that I am a total tea snob and I love things tea related, and that I have a small collection of tea sets. Those were my two big loves.

My Santa nailed it, right on the money. I opened up the box to find a slightly beat up gift box - but the gift box did a great job protecting the contents! I opened it up to find a BEAUTIFUL mug, the perfect size for tea. THE HANDLE IS A VIOLIN. there are music notes all over it. It's freaking amazing, and I love it! :D I love mugs, too - I am of the mind that you can't ever have too many mugs, and the more variety the better. I can't stop looking at it and holding it, and I kind of want to leave it out for looking (except I can't because I have a cat in the house).

So, thank you, Santa! I really love it! :D
