Hey Spunknugget, you made my day.

Let’s set up the story- it’s been a dark and stormy week, it’s raining cats and dogs and we’ve had threats of hail. By the time we got the box from our benevolent leasing office and back up three flights of stairs we and the box we’re soaked. Knees weak, box was heavy, tape gave way with little resistance and inside was a gold mine.

My santa bestowed gifts from Ohio and all over the world, chips of many fabulous flavors (cheddar horseradish omg), cookies, biscuits, pockey, mango con chili (hello childhood), ginger chews, chick o sticks, Turkish delight, pez?!?!?? Things I love and hope to love all in one very large box.

I am super excited to dig into the Australian licorice but I think I’m going to start with the peanut dumplings. I am going to have a little sampling party with some friends at a game of thrones premier party tomorrow but I’m going to save the bulk of it to enjoy secretly on my own.

Santa, you’ve been a joy. You’re of if the first Santa’s I’ve had who reached out with excitement (something I usually do with mixed results) and you seem like you have a knack for making people feel special. I hope your santa is as kind and generous, as always happy gifting.
