Update Santa, you have spoiled me. Today I got a beautiful music note necklace. I play flute with a local flute choir, so this will be perfect for many performances to come. In addition, I got a sweet little red panda family to add to my collection. I love it!! I'd Thank you times 400. :)

Yesterday I had come home from a doctor's appointment with a diagnosed pinched nerve in my shoulder. Since I play flute, this is a huge deal. In fact, I was told no playing for at least a week, meaning I had to back out of some shows I had planned. I was devastated.

I came home to a letter from the Cincinnati Zoo and asked my husband what he had done since I wasn't expecting anything. I open it up to find that I had been gifted my very own Red Panda.

Okay, so I don't get to snuggle it (except in my mind) but money going to their care and conservation is a big deal to me. I was so happy that I seriously cried (okay, that could have been the meds, but probably not).

Santa, thank you so much. The timing was perfect. You made my day so much better.
