I finally got around to opening my Secret Santa gift after a crazy day of travel! Yesterday (Saturday), I flew back from DC (where I go to school) to my home in Las Vegas for winter break. I knew my package had arrived on Friday, and my parents were so excited as I had told them all about this exchange.

I was supposed to arrive back home at 10:30 am, but I had the WORST travel experience of my life. We were sitting on the tarmak in the plane for 6.5 hours before we finally took off at 2:25pm. We were supposed to leave at 8am. What a nightmare. The plane ride was then another 5 hours. It was miserable. Anyway, by the time I got back at 6pm, I wanted to tear open my gift, but my parents were out for the night at a holiday party. I had to wait to open it with them.

So now it's Sunday morning, and I just opened the gift, and WOW is it so perfect! Thank you a million to my gracious Secret Santa! I open the package and there's three beautifully wrapped gifts and a nice letter.

The first gift I open is this card game, Anomia. I've never heard about it before but I'm the BIGGEST fan of card games/board games (love CAH and Apples to Apples), and I know it will get a lot of use when family comes in to town for the holidays. This will be so fun!

I open the next gift and it is the BEST smelling tea I've ever smelled. It's a Teavana strawberry blush rose oolong tea in beautiful pink packaging. I drink tea like crazy so I'm so excited for this!

The last gift was a matching tumbler (with a strainer) so that I can put loose leaf tea in it! I needed one of those, and it has that same beautiful pattern.

These were such amazing gifts and I'm blown away by how great these are! Thank you so much Secret Santa! You're the best!
