Part One - A gift from the heart of my Secret Santa - the sharing of a book that meant something to her life. I can't wait to start reading it!

Part Two - Might need some backstory here. I'm skinny. Very much so. I've always wanted a nice pair of knee-high boots but no matter where I looked and what I tried on, nothing seemed to fit my scrawny calves. I posted about this on Reddit a while back and, well, my WONDERFUL Secret Santa got me some boots from Duo Boots, who do near-custom fits for those who don't fit into run-of-the-mill store boots. When my husband first saw the package, he knew right away what they were since he had browsed Duo before for me, but being near-custom, they were out of our price range (SS had known none of this). When he told me what had come from my SS, I had to fight back the tears. I am so overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness and generosity a complete stranger has shown me.
