Dear Secret Santa,

I was utterly delighted when I received word that you had checked my name. With tightly crossed fingers, I hoped I was on the good list. I try not to be naughty. Well, most of the time. There were a few moments of weakness throughout the year, but I'm sure you turned a blind eye. And then, something magical happened: you surprised me with the gift of gold in my reddit stocking. I would have been fine with just that.

And then...then, I received a message that my gift had shipped. What? How is this even possible? Perhaps my name was somehow written twice on your list. Clerical error, perhaps? Still, I waited with bated breath as I anticipated my package.

A few days later, when what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a box from the postal service with boxes of chocolates from the Beach Way Sweet shop in Cape Cod! Ooh la la, very exquisite! And oh-so-tasty...

Chocolate Bacon Truffles and Habanero Salted Caramel Bark

I devoured and relished every morsel, Santa. And I didn't share a bite with anyone. So, if that's my only confessed bad deed of the year, then so be it. I've been a very good boy this year (for the majority of the time), so I think it was only deserving that I hogged this gift to myself. I ain't ashamed.

Thanks so much! xoxo
