I finally received my Secret Santa gift from the Netherlands :) I knew it was coming from far away so I was expecting a late arrival but what I wasn't expecting was the wonderful, well thought out gifts sent to me by my Santa.

My Santa read my preferences and provided a little for each part of my personality.

I said that I love food and while I've been unable to really travel, I love ethnic foods. My Santa sent me local treats - Hagelslag, which is basically chocolate sprinkles meant to go on toast :). Stroopwafels, caramel wafers that came with the directions of putting them on top of a cup of tea while it steeps so they warm enough to melt the caramel. And Fryske Dumkes (Frisian Thumbs), nummy looking cookies. I can't wait to try all my new treats.

My husband and I like to game with friends. Santa sent a game I've never heard of before that I'm pulling out next game night.

Lastly, I love dragonflies. I think they are the most beautiful creature ever created. Santa gave me one of my own :) I'm pretty sure a live one wouldn't have survived the trip over the pond so, being smart, Santa sent me one I could build myself.

This was the best exchange I've participated in. Thank you Santa.
