My Santa sent me a beautiful hand knitted neck warmer in a muted turquoise shade, which just happens to be one of the most popular colors in my wardrobe (aside from black & grey), so it will match everything perfectly! While New Orleans has been annoyingly warm so far this holiday season, we did have a cool snap yesterday that's continuing today - so I didn't even have to wait to wear it! I love scarves, and this is my first neck warmer so it's perfect.

And then, because dark chocolate is always necessary, my Santa included 3 chocolate bars from Trader Joe's. Oddly enough, the first Trader Joe's in the New Orleans metro area is currently being constructed in walking distance from my apartment. And after eating half of one of them last night, I know I'll be shopping there regularly for all my chocolate needs. Sorry Whole Paycheck!

Thank you mystery Santa!!!
