My Santa put tons of thought into this gift, it's plain to see,

here are the three hints they left to me:

*"On the day of the god that hurls mighty thunder

Three tokens of friendship are sure to appear!

A brew, a review, and a vessel; I wonder

Can you guess your gifts, or have I been too unclear?"*

What a great riddle!

From the clues my gift I tried to whittle!

A brew... I wondered what could it be?

I finally asked Santa, 'Could it perhaps be a tea?'

A review and a vessel...

With those clues I still had to wrestle!

*"How clever you are to guess gift the first!

I hope that it quenches your wonder and thirst.

Gifts two and three, With gift one they be.

In your mailbox they patiently lay,

Waiting to bring some whimsy to your day."*

Well with this I was quite eager,

my Santa was truly quite an intriguer!

For a few more days my gift I did await...

and discovered patience wasn't my greatest trait!

Finally, it came to the day

I rushed to the mailbox and shouted 'yay!'

The anticipation was so hard to swallow!

In the box three items, the riddle did follow:

A book, a mug and some tea...

The absolute perfect gifts for me!

The tea and the book bore a resemblance to my favorite cat

in quite a brilliant format!

A very beautiful mug was the vessel

In which my tea would soon nestle.

Thank you so much, Santa for the fun and the thrill -

all of my desires you did certainly fulfill~!
