Really overwhelmed with the generosity of my Secret Santa. I was so excited to get home from work today to see a delivery note to say a parcel was with my neighbour - I knew it had to be my Secret Santa gift! I was even more excited when I realised the parcel had come all the way from Ohio in the US of A!

The first thing I saw when I opened the box was a lovely card from my Secret Santa. I haven't put a pic on here as the card had a picture of their family, but it's SO sweet and just as I have always imagined a proper American festive greeting card! Happy holidays to you, too! I loved the mention of Scranton :-)

My Secret Santa has been very, very generous. She has given me not one, but TWO books, and I love both of them. One is a novel/recipe book and the other is a chocolate recipe book (well done for stalking me and finding out I am a true chocoholic!) I can't wait to start reading them and making some new yummy creations!

I also received some goodies from The Office. This is one of my favourite shows EVER, but it's hardly ever shown over here in the UK, so I was literally so excited to receive a DVD of the digital shorts AND the 2013 desk calendar (this will be a very welcome addition to my desk at work!) Thank you.

FINALLY, I also received a ridiculous amount of chocolate and other sweet treats - not that I'm complaining! :-) I love that all the chocolate is really American stuff, like Hersheys, which we don't really get over here (I think the last time I had some Hersheys is when I was in the US nearly ten years ago). I will try and share this out with my friends and family, but I can't promise... !

Overall, just totally blown away with the generosity of a total stranger from thousands of miles away. The whole Secret Santa process has been really wonderful.
