My Arbitrary Day Santa is awesome. He really paid attention and sent the most awesomest gifts. Of course from the minute you read the email saying our gift was shipped each day of waiting has you on pins and needles. It does me anyway. My first gift was an email from Amazon saying I had a gift for my kindle. I couldn't click fast enough and let out a small squeal when I saw "The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." All five books in one! I have most of these in paperback but 90% of my reading is now on my kindle and I was completely, utterly happy with my gift. And I thought that was it. It would have been enough.

My son was waiting for his gift too so when we pulled into the driveway and saw a package on the front stoop he couldn't get out of the car fast enough. He picked it up and I saw his shoulders slump and then he walked to the car and tossed a package into the window, grumbling, "It's for you. Wait (as he reaches through the window) do you want me to open it for you?"

Inside was a package of Bella Solids five inch quilting squares from my wish list because, well, you can never have too much fabric. The colors are gorgeous and I can't wait to add it to a project. The other thing in the box completely baffled me. I didn't remember it being on my wish list but it was a perfect gift. My Santa gave me a hardcover, first edition of "The Job: True Tales from the Life of a New York City Cop" I grew up hearing cop stories. I love them. And I love this book. I am a quarter of the way through it already.

Santa, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the best Arbitrary day absolutely ever! You are awesome!!
