My charming Santa from the beautiful north did me an amazing kindness. Santa sent me such wonderful things from Minneapolis, that it reminds me of how much I love that fine city. The last time I was there, I was struck by how friendly and fun the citizens were, and /u/smilyus proves the point.

Minneapolis-roasted coffee, handmade caramels, and other Minnesota-made candy treats will make this Christmas sweet. But Santa didn't stop there. A book about restoration of extinct species will let me learn about the potential of mastodons returning to the Alaskan tundra. For flyfishing, the best floatant will help keep my flies atop my favorite California streams. And finally, something I've been needing for my camping trips - a solar lantern that you can see from the photos works perfectly. Santa showed thoughtfulness and good snooping that wows me.

Thank you so much, smilyus! May your Christmas be glorious and bright. Lots of love from California to Minnesota.
