Today was a bit of a glum day for me. The weather is really bad so I couldn't go out anywhere. I was trying to figure out how to spend my afternoon when the doorbell rang. It turns Canada Post delivers packages on the weekends during December. My secret santa, freshpickles completely blew me away. I'm hoping to send her a thank you card if they let me.

Slipper socks: My sister's dog decided my slippers were food last December. My feet are no longer freezing! Plus they little bears on the sides. Who doesn't love cute bears? Chopsticks: I keep losing mine so I really appreciate another set Lipstick?!: No it's actually a pen! How cool is this? I feel like a spy. I'm walking around with fake lipstick that's secretly a writing device/weapon. Fish pen: It's a pen with a fish on top. It's adorable Cinnamon Tea: I'm a big tea fanatic and freshpickles gave me this fantastic blend. It smells heavenly. Lip sticky notes: Super sticky and awesome! I've spent the past hour sticking them to various family members and pets. They may be annoyed but I am filled with Christmas cheer. The Zombie Survival Guide: I'm a huge fan of anything zombie. Freshpickles was kind enough to send a gift receipt, but I won't need it. I've never owned my own copy and always wanted to and now I have this treasure trove of information to keep me safe from the walking dead.

The best part of the gift? Two cds of freshpickles' favourite music. I love music but I really need to expand my music horizons. Freshpickles has expanded my music knowledge (I'm already a huge fan of "This Year" by Mountain Goats).

Thank you freshpickles. You made this Christmas amazing and I won't forget the time and effort you put into the gifts you gave me. You are wonderful!
