So, the past several days have been horrible. My grandfather has fallen ill very suddenly, and he won't be with us much longer. I have a lot of family coming into town for Christmas, and we've all been absolutely devastated by this. No one is feeling the Christmas spirit at this point. I was out of town yesterday, and had to rush home and ended up spending a long, exhausting day at the hospital, and today was already going to be a long and stressful day. Secret Santa had all but slipped my mind, especially as today is Sunday, and I wasn't aware the post would even run today. So-imagine my surprise when a package came bearing my reddit username! I wish I could express the joy this gift has brought me, and much needed relief from the overall glum period I am going through. My heart stopped when I opened the paper! I'm still in shock! These needles are the perfect addition to my knitting inventory! They have been the desire of my heart for quite some time now, and it just warms my heart to know some someone out there was so kind and so generous to a stranger. Santa, you have no idea what this gift means to me. You have restored some of the magic to my Christmas this year. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
