My gift couldn't have arrived at a more perfect time. My sister and her family were home for the holidays, and her husband's family are proud Fins. To my niece and nephews surprise, I told them that I had received a package from Finland - and their faces lit up! (Yes, I did look through the package to make sure it was kid appropriate before telling them! _)

I received a bag of delicious chocolate treats that were gone instantly, and a bag of what I assume to be dried fruit - but can't figure out what it is. Google and Google translate both failed me! My favorite holiday sweets, candy canes, were included along with a postcard with an awesomely drawn Jesus wearing a bear hat with lightning bolts shooting out of his hands.

The 20 ga. shotgun shell thermos (which is the shotgun I use, by the way) was the star of the show. Not only do I love to hunt, I'm always out in the cold and love hot chocolate. The rednecks around here are going to be super jealous of me! ;P

Secret Santa - thank you for putting thought into it. I absolutely loved it!!
