First off, an apology to my santa. I was out of town, and his awesome gifts sat waiting for me for about a week.

I came home to a massive stack of parcels from my Santa, and excitedly began opening them. Obviously, /u/Dishwasher823 has either thoroughly stalked me, or else he's a psychic, because it seemed like everything fell on a magic wishlist titled "Things I want, but am too cheap to buy myself"

First up, the rubber Groot mask (I know what I'm going to be going as next halloween!) and completing the Marvel theme, a matching mug and Soundtrack CD.

Next, we move onto my love of making stuff, and tinkering with a set of helping hands (I can't even count the number of times I've wished for one, but I just never actually got around to buying one)

Cold, Manitoba winters? No problem with the stylish, knitted knight's helm toque (that's a knit cap or beanie to you yanks)

Finally, a rare gift -- a book/author I haven't already read! Looking forward to tucking into it over the holidays.

Last, but definitely not least, my Santa noticed I had a 3 year old nuclear power generator daughter, and he sent a collection of Robert Munsch books (Paperbag princess and Thomas' Snowsuit were some of my favorites when I was little)

Thanks again Santa, I'm overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness and generosity of your gifts. Hope you have an awesome Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus/Winter Solstace
