I am absolutely blown away by the generosity, thoughtfulness, and creativity shown by my Santa! Thank you so much Santa!! I couldn’t stop talking about the first package over Christmas - and the remaining packages were still awaiting enjoyment!

First up: a smallish Amazon box

I opened the box to find... a small crystal ball! But wait - I don’t do palm readings... so what is this for? I took a guess that it was related to my interest in photography and Googled ‘crystal ball photography’. It’s a thing!! Yay! I am so excited to set up some cool shots asap :)

Next up: another smallish Amazon package

What’s this?!? An awesome rubber ball for my pup?? And a squeaking mouse for my kitty?? So nice that Santa included them!

And I thought we were done! Another awesome exchange! But then - a message that another package was coming! Unfortunately, I headed to Mom’s for Christmas and JUST missed the delivery (by less than an hour :( - huge bummer)

The exciting finish: a smallish box from Best Buy!

I got home from Mom’s around 11p, and after dumping The suitcase - I grabbed the scissors and the box!

WHAT?!? A portable photo printer?? I LOVE it! I will absolutely use the daylights out of it!

AND! And a beautiful camera strap from Peak designs (I backed them once on Kickstarter!!) this is going right on the camera!! Yay!!!

Amazing amazing amazing!! You turned me into a giddy kid - I did a happy dance!

Santa: my pledge to you is that I will try to bring this feeling to someone else this year - I will try to pay it forward.

I’m so grateful - thank you!!
