My Santa is the best!

My Secret Santa gift had been lying underneath the tree for some weeks now, but finally Christmas day arrived! Time to open up the presents! (sorry, Santa, for letting you wait so long before thanking you).

This year I made a small cryptic poem about things I like or that interested me. I wanted to leave things to the imagination this time. Not an easy task for whoever was my Santa, but boy, I was not disappointed.

I was presented with a nice tiny lime green box (orange on the inside, favorite colour; check!). Curiosity rose as I untied the knot to open the gift. First to come out was a cat costume. Funny enough, days ago I was discussing with my SO about buying some reindeer antlers or a Santa hat to make some cliché photographs of our cats to send our relatives for Christmas. Sadly: time ran out and nothing came of it, but thanks to my Santa, we're A OK for holidays 2016! Next up were some small keychain toys. My Santa knew I liked games (as a bonus they had quite a vintage feel to it), and I think it was perfect! Still working on that rubik's cube though...

As my Santa was from Canada, the box also contained a small bottle of maple syrup. I know what'll be having for breakfast the 1st of January, nomnom ^

The last little item was the one I was most impressed with: a little statue called an 'Inuksuk'. My Santa wrote they are used by their aboriginal people as a sign to indicate one is on the right path or to mark a place of respect. I love to receive things you ordinary can't find that easily out here. We have so many different cultures in this world, telling all kinds of stories about traditions and the way we are shaped to what we are today. I loved the statue, this is exactly why I joined the reddit gift exchange.

So I would like to say: Thank you Santa, you did a great job! It does not have to be big to be the perfect present. I hope my home deserves the Inuksuk statue as a place of respect. You made a girl in Belgium very happy.
