What a lovely gift!

My Santa sent things for my whole family. Santa was incredibly thoughtful, and generous. This was an all around wonderful exchange, from the first day when Santa contacted me right up until when we all opened our gifts. My children are thrilled to bittens, and so am I!

My eldest daughter's gift has not arrived yet (and will not until February, I'll update with her reaction then), and so she stole two of the books Santa sent for me.

My middle son got a Nintendo DS game, which he was over the moon about, and has not stopped playing it for days. We actually let him have one of his gifts from us early this year (a Nintendo 2ds) so that he could play it... and he decided to give his old DS Lite to a child from r/randomactsofchrismas in return (and buy the child a new game to go with it, with his own money). I was so surprised and grateful for this gift, thank you so much Santa.

My youngest little guy got Dr. Seuss's Fox In Socks! We love this book. My son has insisted we read it again and again. My littlest guy has autism, and is not yet talking, but he does know and use some sign language. He asks to be read to many times a day, by signing 'book', and this book became one of the favoured books from the first reading. What a great addition to his collection, thank you Santa!

And I myself got three books! McSweeny's number 44, which has been on my whishlist forever (and Santa tells me they share an affinity for); Oliver Sacks' The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat (which my daughter promptly stole, but has already returned, exclaiming that it was a fantastic read, and I should read it straight away), and Sleepwalk With Me (which my daughter also stole, and also returned already, exclaiming that it was even better than the stories he tells on The Moth). I am going to be kept pleasantly busy this Christmas break, with all of the wonderful reading I will be doing.

Thank you Santa! What a great set of gifts!
