I should have posted this a couple days ago. And I really wanted to. But things have been crazy and I didn't feel like I had the time to post it right. Santa, I'm sorry you had to wait a couple of extra days, but I wanted to make sure that I would have enough time for this. Because you, dear Santa, are the best. Seriously, the BEST! I absolutely could not imagine a more perfect gift for me. Your thoughtfulness was incredible and I'm still in shock about all of it.

Santa managed to get in touch with my husband and both conspired to surprise me. My gift arrived when I was out of town and held at the local office. I picked it up on my way back into town. We got home and then husband claimed he was starving and I should go get food. I thought it was rude to make me wait longer for the present, but he had driven the whole way back and I could wait a few more minutes to open it up (super difficult btw).

I got home and, to my complete surprise and slight annoyance, found that said husband had opened my gift! WTF!! He said he was sorry, that my Santa had seemed nice, but apparently was a troll. A heavy, gigantic box had been shipped, but all that was inside was an envelope.

Upon opening the envelope, I burst into giddy bouncing. CLUES?!? I love, love, love scavenger hunts and solving puzzles and riddles and the like and Santa delivered! Big time! Santa conspired with my husband and made clues and hid gifts all around my apartment! I could not stop smiling through the whole thing. Santa, I'm deeply sorry that I didn't get many pictures of the beautifully wrapped gifts or where they were hidden, I kinda got carried away and was either jumping up and down with glee or pulling my hair out in frustration with a tough riddle. But it was all so thoughtful!

Santa sent me gifts for a relaxing night in! A perfect night in! All of my favorite things, with thoughtful notes for all of them! And riddles! I don't have the words to explain how amazing and perfect this gift was. At the end of the scavenger hunt, I was rewarded with the kindest note from my Santa, explaining all of it. It was so sweet, after everything I teared up knowing how much thought was put into this gift.

Santa, thank you, truly. This is beyond the best gift you could have ever given me. I love it, love every part of it. You are such an incredibly kind person and I cannot thank you enough. YOU ARE THE BEST! THANK YOU!!
