I had tracking of my gift stop on the 20th December (it started in the U.S. on the 15th) so I was starting to get nervous about it ever arriving. Until yesterday when I saw two battered envelopes on the grass behind my mailbox. The clear message of DO NOT BEND written on both of them was taken as more of a hilarious joke then an actual instruction. I did not hold out much hope that my gifts were intact considering the condition of the two envelopes.

I opened the first one... perfect condition. What a relief! Plus, it looks like someone stalked my redditgifts wishlist because it was exactly what I wanted to decorate the bookcase in the house we just purchased! I was ecstatic! If the second package was wrecked I still had a fabulous gift! What a relief.

I opened the second envelope, the more bent and crushed of the two... perfect! They somehow managed to survive the rough treatment of the post office! Plus this one was another wishlist item I had in mind to decorate my daughter's new toy room. One of my favourite Dr Seuss quotes!

The biggest thanks to my Secret Santa, you absolutely nailed it and made the wait worth every second! I really appreciate my gifts and I hope you weren't too worried about your gifts not appearing until now.

Now excuse me, I have some prints to frame and hang
