You know that feeling you had every Christmas morning as a kid, the excitement and anticipation of the day, the not knowing what to expect come Christmas morning, but hoping you were good enough all year that Santa would come?

WELL that's the feeling I had when I went to my community mailbox today.

I opened the mailbox with great anticipation knowing there was a gift waiting for me in there. Expecting a tiny box, but finding a HUGE box in there....just for me!! I was shocked!!

So I get home and run to open it....of course first yelling to my son that Santa came.

After ripping open I discover not one, but MANY MANY gifts! I was in awe! I had to hold back the tears I was so over joyed. Every gift was beautifully wrapped in wrapping paper in my favourite colour and every gift had a cute handwritten note about each gift. How can I expect anything better than that??!!

I slowly opened each and every one. Cherished every second of opening them!!

I think Santa hit on every single thing I said I liked to do, or stalked on Reddit to see my posts from the past. I said I've been in a slump lately on doing any of my hobbies, but that looks like it's about to end.

Hopefully I remember everything because there was SOOOO much!!

I love colouring and to play on that love I got some coloured pencils and an Enchanted Forest colouring book. I can colour my stresses away.

I got a package of Lindt chocolates...who doesn't like chocolate??

1000 piece jigsaw puzzle.... I have to get back into this as I love how the stress just melts away with along with the time when you're engaged in a good puzzle.

4 puzzle books. 2 sudoku and 2 fill in the words. I love engaging in a good paper puzzle to keep the mind fresh.

A non-fiction book called Don't let's go to the dogs tonight. I've never heard of it before, but love reading true stories. Looks like an interesting read!

A letterboard ornament set where I can put messages and share my thoughts on an ornament. I've never seen anything like this before and should be a cool addition to the ornaments....that may end up as a permanent fixture in the house and not just for Christmas.

Speed sketch table top game. This honestly looks like the perfect game to play with the family and with the students I work with. A quick fun doodle game that we all can enjoy. Considering I love to doodle, this will allow my doodles be used in a more productive way.

And lastly some cat treats for my 3 cats. One cat smelled them right away and I had to open them immediately or I may have been smothered. She couldn't keep her head out of the bag!

Another cat loved the packaging material. She thought it made a great napping pillow!

This Secret Santa has made my year!! I cannot thank my Santa enough for how special this made me feel this holiday season and how awesome I think they are!! I really am in shock at the thought that went into these gifts!! You rock Santa!

Have a great Christmas or holiday season!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
