My mom handed me an envelope today, Christmas Eve. CLEARLY something to do with Reddit - it had Snoo on the front! There was also a totally charming flower decoration and some writing on the back.

This envelope...it was thick....did I accidentally sign up for secret santa again?

I took out the card and still couldn't quite tell. But this is what I can tell you: I will be taking this card with me back to my dorm. It's so beautiful. Subtle. Tactile. My favorite color. How does my Santa have such good taste? I'm already smitten.

I opened the card up. Oh my gosh! As my friends would say, I'd be the one to survive on a deserted island the longest because of how much I know about plants. Not true, but maybe you can tell how much I like nature. Nurturing. Seeing things grow. I love the sun and the earth.

So I was co-president of the gardening club in high school and I grew up planting things in the yard with my dad. I once went on a field trip to a farm and the owner challenged us to survive for two days on just food we got from our land. With all these seeds, I think I can finally do it! I can't wait until it gets warmer. I have that much more to look forward to now.

Santa, thank you so much for your generosity. You don't know me, but somehow you know this part of me so well. Merry Christmas. ❤️
