¡El primer regalo es una arrocera! Oh wait, the box was backwards - it's a rice cooker!! I'm really bad at making non-instant rice so this should help immensely.

Also included in the box were two figurines from Game of Thrones - Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow! I requested one or the other on my wishlist but my Santa was awesome and purchased both! (Tyrion was instantly added to my work desk so unfortunately I don't have a picture of that.)

I also got a copy of Cooking for Geeks which was an excellent choice! I borrowed a digital copy once and loved it, but now I have my own hard-copy to read and skim through as I please.

A separate shipment contained a Santa hat and scarf for my cat Jacoby. I love putting silly outfits on him because he either looks totally ridiculous or super adorable (both amuse me). Although he didn't like the hat covering his ears I still managed to get some cute pictures :)

I believe there's one smaller item coming soon, but I wanted to post anyway to thank my Santa.

THANK YOU SANTA!! You went above and beyond what I expected, and I greatly appreciate these thoughtful gifts. Happy Holidays!
