When I received my shipping notification, the first thing that I noticed was that it was coming from the west coast, and that it was estimated to arrive in 8 days. Needless to say, I started impatiently checking for shipping updates on an almost hourly basis, and wondering what I was going to receive. I'd like to think I provided enough info for my Santa to go on, and they pulled my details quickly ... but they never contacted for clarifications, and who knows if anyone can understand my humor. I mean ... double-dutch salted liccorice is something nobody should be subjected to, so why the hell would I even bother mentioning it and opening myself up to a gag gift?

So imagine my surprise when, 4 days ahead of schedule, it arrives safe and sound in my community mailbox. Of course, the first thing I do is shake it ... it's got a fair heft to it, and I can't wait to tear inside.

And oh man, did my SS ever get it right. Tonnes of chocolate, peanut butter, liccorice, definitely wasn't expecting the chips. And TIM TAM'S ... one of my absolute favorites. There was even a chocolate ginger bar in there ... so much stuff I've never tried before. The zombie foot was one of the first things gone, as are the chips ... I'll be trying to ration the rest so that I don't gain the weight I've been able to keep off these past few years.

Thanks again so very much!!
