So to make a long story short, a close family member passed away last week and I've been pretty bummed and super busy trying to support my family. I'm tired and stressed and need a vacation. Also, I'm pretty sure Christmas is going to suck because this family member did the most to make the season special and she's gone.

But I was blown away at how above-and-beyond my santa went, not only is there some high quality Wisconsin cheddar, pepper jack, sasuages and crackers to snack on in my fridge, they spent a fortune on next day shipping and packaging just to make sure it would get to Texas cold (which it did!). He even said he was going to send me beer too, but thanks to Texas' absurd liquor/alcohol laws I guess it was problematic. But it was exactly the kind of gift my relative would give me- above and beyond and well past what I deserve.

I told my family and it made us a little happier in the midst of our grief. We're still going to try and celebrate Christmas despite everything, my santa's effort makes it just a little easier.

Thanks so much.
