I'll begin this by saying that I lost track of all the times that I said "Oh my god!" as I was unboxing my gifts. The boxes were wrapped so beautifully that I almost didn't want to open them, and then as I saw what was in them, I couldn't believe that someone had taken the time to put together such a thoughtful package for me.

I opened the smaller box first: It contained some sparkly shoe clips, a bow tie that was handmade by my Secret Santa, memorabilia from Palm Springs (I love collecting things from places that I've never visited before!), and a gorgeous infinity scarf. I LOVE INFINITY SCARVES. I don't even think that I mentioned this in my SS survey answers, but this scarf is beautiful. It's in a pattern that's unlike any of the others that I currently have, and I can't wait to wear it.

And then I go to the other box. More "Oh my gods" came out as I opened it and saw not one, but FOUR stuffed cows smiling at me! I collect stuffed cows, so I'm absolutely thrilled to have these adorable new additions to my little family of moos.

To my Secret Santa: Thank you SO much for doing this for me! You really have made this holiday season even more special and meaningful for me. :)
