Oh, where do I start with the awesomeness that is my greeting card Secret Santa?

Well, this morning I was just telling my boyfriend how I was a little bummed that we had only received one Christmas card so far. I kid you not, less that one hour later, this beauty arrived in the mail!

The envelope was quite big so I had no idea what to expect of course. Curiosity got the best of me and I threw the rest of the less important mail at my boyfriend, hah!

After ripping open the envelope, I remove a beautifully large hand drawn Christmas card. The front says 'Merry Christmas from Texas!' and just below that he drew an awesome map connecting us between Texas and the Netherlands, (there is also a little envelope in the middle of the connecting line) and at the bottom he notes his 'drawing skills'. Now, he may have added that note sarcastically, but I honestly love it and think it's perfect!

To my surprise, it got even better and a whole lot funnier after opening it! The inside left hand side reads the following: 'Hi Kelly! Yo dawg, I heard you like cats and dogs. Here's a picture of me and my dog Spot. I named him like 17 years ago...he's an old boy.'

He then goes on to tell me how snow is rare in his city with a little snowman, he drew a thermometer and wrote the current temperature (of which I am jealous!) and lets me know that he is currently in basketball shorts! But the best and most funny part of the whole page is the little note above his picture together with his dog, Spot. He wrote 'Were you expecting a cowboy?' That caption is what kept me laughing for a good while! :)

The inside right of my card reads, 'I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family and doggies and kitties and friends. I hope you get some good presents this year too!'

I have received a lot of Christmas cards in my life, but never one as amazing, thoughtful and downright hilarious as this one! I can promise you that I will be keeping my card forever.

I hope you have an amazing Christmas too, SS! May your holiday be filled with as much heart, thoughtfulness and laughter as you brought my way. :)

P.S. - I forgot to note that on the back he drew the Reddit alien wearing a Santa hat and holding a pretty present and next to it it says Card Exchange 2012....and he even drew the detail of a barcode! And bonus for me just noticing that today is my cake day! I've never celebrated it before so it was awesome to receive my card on my cake day as well! SS, you are as awesome as can be!
