I come home after my vacation. And even while basking in the sunshine. I couldn't help but think what I got for the secret Santa.

I get the cardboard box. And I thought it was a poster I had earlier in the month. So I start to tear it open. However. I noticed it was heavy. I pull out this tube like object. And I see the knob of a scroll.

At this point I stop and check the box again. It said from some unknown person in LA. I quickly jump back to the scroll. I tear off the parchment paper on the outside. I was in awe of the beauty of this scroll.

As I start to unroll it. I think about how I've always wanted one of these. I've always wanted a wall banner in the form of a scroll with a Chinese influence. And low and behold. There is a Chinese letter on it. "Auspiciousness".

I love the Chinese culture. I am learning mandarin and I would love to live in China one day. And this made me so happy.

I then started to think of how amazing it is that I was matched with this amazing person.

Thank you so much Santa. You really made my year complete. And with this up on my wall. I'm ready for 2015. <3
