So my rematch Santa really went out of his way to make this a great first exchange for me. I got an email that said I would receive 7 pacakges! 7!!! I asked for non-US treats, and my Santa delivered on that request.

So I have received 5 of the 7 boxes now, and I couldn't wait to open them and see what goodies my Santa sent. I wondered why he sent them in 7 different packages. Well, turns out he didn't want to just send me treats from one country, he sent them from all over the world. I was near tears when I saw that someone I never met could do something so spectacular for a stranger.

On to the goodies... the first package I opened was from Japan, and was Green Tea flavored Kit Kat bars. The second package was from UK, and was Happy Hippo cookies. The third was from the Netherlands and included creme filled chocolates, Stroopwaffles, Speculoos spread, and chocolate caramel tartlettes. The next was Latin American, which was chocolate bars to make hot chocolate. The last box was from Australia, and is Sesame Poppy seed crackers.

So of course, I dug in. How could you not? Stroopwaffles are amazing. This is a fact, and cannot be disputed. If there is a religion based on Stroopwaffles, count me in. The hippos were very cute and very sweet. You can't go wrong with chocolate and creme filling. The Speculoos spread tastes like those cookies that they serve on Delta flights. Awesome. The Green Tea Kit Kats definitely tasted like green tea. Not too sweet, with green tea notes.

Then I couldn't eat anymore! I will have to break into the rest later.

I am really overwhelmed by the kindness of my rematch Santa. You are awesomeness personified. Thank you so much! Now I might tear up again.
