I received some amazing gifts from my Santa today!!

After getting a message, I knew they had really read what I had written and taken the fact that I love cute things to heart. I just didn't realize just how amazing this gift would be!

What I got were three different gifts. You're spoiling me here, Santa!

First, a crocheted, stuffed Charmander (my favorite starter!) amigurumi keychain (which I collect!). Isn't he darling?! There's even a little flame on him! I LOVE stuffed plushies, and I actually dabbled in amigurumi back in college so I let out a little squeal when I saw this cute little guy.

Next, a Pokemon Academy notebook from Comic Con (my brother went too but he didn't bring me back such a cute little souvenir!). I've seen the Pokemon Art Academy ads around but never got around to downloading it on my 3DS so this makes me interested in it. I'm guessing the game will help teach you how to draw Pokemon, like that cute little Pikachu on the cover!

And then lastly, the piece de resistance -- a hand-drawn, hand-painted picture of my other two favorite Pokemon -- Slowpoke and Psyduck! I consider Slowpoke my spirit animal and this painting totally made my entire day, hell, my entire month! This painting is seriously AMAZING! I'm so lucky my Santa is so talented!

And not only that, but on each different gift, there were handwritten notes explaining each of them! I've never had a Santa go to such lengths for me before, or one who really took my likes to heart. I'm so very grateful! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Seriously, this was the best exchange EVER!
