Okay, you more than made my day. You made my week, at least. People on the internets have not been so nice lately and I have had the week from hell doing finals. I got home just in time for my Secret Santa present to arrive and I was so excited! And then when I opened it - well, you gave me hope that the world is a nice place after all! haha :)

I opened it and found a nice note which made me smile just reading it, and the custom sharpie-colored paper wrapped presents. (Don't worry, it didn't smell at all like Sharpie!) The wrapping papers were soo cute that I couldn't stand to tear them, so I cut the tape apart to open them. (Silly, I know, but I could tell you put lots of work into the paper!) I love the way the paper is themed to match each present, as well, and the Starry Night owls were my favorite - I think they might be going on my wall when I get back down to my apartment after break!

The presents themselves were amazing, too. I was so excited when I saw the socks (which are perfect! couldn't have chosen better myself!), and had to brag about them to my mom (she's totally jealous.) I've been dying to try the magnetic nail polish forever, and now I finally have a chance (and it rocks! I used it right away and I added a picture of how cool it looks on, even on my short bitten-down-from-finals-stress nails.)I can't wait to try out all my nail polish colors (perfect for the holidays!), and I'm looking forward to making some pretty friendship bracelets out of all my nice new string. In fact, Secret Santa, I would love to send you one as a thank you! I already have your address from the package, so just let me know your favorite colors and I'll get one going for you. :)

So, in conclusion, you rock. Seriously. Thanks for getting me such a fantastic gift, and putting all that work into wrapping. I love it all!

Oh, and in response to your letter, I should add a) No, I totally didn't guess any of it. At all. I've never been good at that sort of thing, even if the wrapping should have given it away! Haha! and b)Believe it or not, Northern California where I am is not as temperate and sunny as you might expect from the California part! It was actually snowing as I unwrapped my presents (but that's rare here and it's stopped now.) :)
