With each exchange I do I find myself awed by the Reddit Secret Santa community. Both in the generosity and the attention they pay to their giftees. Sure you can get shafted every now and then, but those are the outliers and the rest are just frankly amazing.

I came home this evening to a mysterious box from Amazon (not an unheard of sight in my home admittedly)and dove right in to it. Nothing starts the beginning of the week off like an unexpected gift.

My Santa is one swell person let me just say. She managed to pick out a cookbook I have been eying for quite some time (and BTW Santa, I do LOVE Italian desserts) as well as some much needed baking tools (pastry blenderm rolling pastry cutter and a silicone baking mat with measurements).

Even with the temperature rising here in Ontario you can bet your sweets butts I am going to be cracking this amazing book open and wowing my co-workers with treats.

Thank you Sarahboo123! You are the best Santa a girl could ask for!!!
