This is my first Secret Santa exchange. I decided to go all in and go for the international matching. I don't know what I was expecting, but I was very surprised to find out my Santa was in Singapore.

Now, Singapore is a long way from the Greater Toronto Area. It took almost a month for my Secret Santa gift to get here. I even had to declare "no gift" after I received my final reminder, much to my Secret Santa's chagrin. I was more than a little upset about it too, because I knew a lot of thought and care had gone into my gift.

It was worth the wait. I am a little overwhelmed and I can't wait to share these with my kids and family tonight.

Thank you so much to my Secret Santa and all the best to you and yours in 2016.
