I worked the late shift last night, so I took the Friday off to have a long weekend and to take care of a bunch of errands (finalizing the package for my giftee among them :D )

Just as I got home, shortly after lunchtime, the phone rings and it's the delivery man with the gift from my Secret Santa! I took out my camera and went at it immediately, I couldn't wait. My Santa contacted me with a message and some additional, very creative questions about my preferences on the day after matching, but gave absolutely nothing away about what the gift might be.

Opening the shipping box revealed 2 presents , how cool! Santa got me a DVD with the Top Gear Patagonia special as well as the Australian roadtrip, with extra scenes. Can't wait to watch it tonight. The note on the second present mentioned it was something for my hiking trips, and inside was a really nice micro fleece jacket. It's light, comfy and even fits me perfectly, I couldn't be more happy. Going to put it to good use come spring.

What an awesome day this turned out to be: no work, the joy of preparing the present for my giftee, and the delight of opening my own presents to top it off.

Thank you Santa!
