I was in San Francisco last week and was anxiously watching the status updates from my Secret Santa pulling my information. I arrived home Friday and checked the tracking information for the package my Secret Santa (SS) had posted.

Origin: San Jose Destination: Texas To Be Delivered Date: Saturday 17 Dec

I had to run some errands Saturday morning, so when I arrived home the package was on my doorstep. I took it inside and began the unboxing.

My first reaction was "My SS got me a Sock Monkey!" but it turned out to be something even better...

The first items I removed from the box were a 49ers Beanie encompassing a Bkr with a 49ers Silicone Sleeve. I'm headed to a cold-weather location to celebrate Christmas. Now I can keep my ears warm! Also, I have resolved to drink more water in the new year, and having a good-sized water bottle has always helped me drink more water (and less soda…). I love the Bkr and will put it to good use.

Next, I pulled a 49ers Faithful scarf from the package. Last week, San Francisco was chilly, and Texas got to 24° F this morning. So my head/neck will be warm as well! However, no amount of faith will fix this year's version of the 49ers (1 Win 13 Losses as of this post…) :)

Last, my SS included a Commemorative Ticket of the 49ers first game played in Levi Stadium. It's a cool piece of history that I'll include on my desk to show who I support.

My Secret Santa did very well and hopefully I will stay warm and get healthy in 2017!
