12/20 My sneaky Santa didn't even post that a gift had been shipped, so imagine my delight after I go to the mailbox, tired and annoyed from a 2 hour grocery shopping excursion 5 days before Christmas, only to find a red package from Busted Tees! What is this? I didn't order anything for myself! Oh. Man.

Ripped that mother open to see the Shiva Bowl Championship tee I wanted, and I Shiva blasted so hard! "Shivakamini Somakandarkram!" Just kidding guys. My neighbors were outside so I actually didn't do that. I did, however, run inside, whip my hoodie off and throw the shirt on so I could show my husband how I was now infinitely more badass than he could ever be.

Thank you, Santa, for my sweet shirt and, consequently, the awesomeness that comes with wearing it. Sorry for potato quality picture as I had to take the picture myself (being super awesome comes with its downfalls, mainly that people won't take your picture when they think you're being obnoxious).

12/24 Holy Christmas Eve, my awesome Hawaiian Santa sent me another box of amazing things and I got it just in time for Christmas! :) I mentioned how I would just love to be somewhere warm (it's 10 F here today guys, windchill makes it about 0) and she sent me beautiful Hawaiian leis and a GORGEOUS picture book of Maui. Like, gorgeous. It's filled with Hawaiian proverbs and sayings and every page makes me feel a tiiiiiny bit warmer. Oh! And bonus, she sent a nice handwritten card with a Hawaiian Christmas sticker on the back! I ripped open the bottom of the envelope because I didn't want to rip the sticker. Thank you old timey Christmas song, I know what "Mele Kalikimaka" means :)

She also picked out some organic pu-erh tea (love tea, drinking some now and it is super robust and tasty!) and some beautiful, much nicer than I EVER treat myself to, yarn with some patterns for scarves. The yarn came in a really nice little handbag, too!

Also, bonus, she put in two pairs of 3D goggles that make angels and prisms when you look at Christmas lights! My husband and I had fun with these (he wouldn't let me take his picture, but we did). They're really freaking cool.

Thanks so much, hekkycatz! I am so grateful that you took the time to choose such wonderful things and send them to me. I'll cherish everything as a great reminder of my first (and so far the best!) Secret Santa!

Merry Christmas and Mele Kalikimaka to you!
