I definitely received the Golden Ticket of Reddit Secret Santas!! I knew he was my kind of crazy alien when I saw the ASPCA label~ he has a heart!! The great note inside the card with the explanations of my gifts really made me smile, (wonderful card, btw, it's now my facebook page picture)!

Each gift was perfectly and personally tailored for me....it was as if my mystery SS knew me!! (Hmm...I actually sat thinking about this as our zip codes are not too far away! LOL) SS definitely did his homework..... an incredibly moving book, 'Mountains Beyond Mountains' thank you so much- means more than you know

Then . . . a bonus gift pack arrived in the mail today!! A PBS DVD and BOOK by the Diva of Divine DOLCEZZA dell'ALTIPIANO . . . the one and only, Lidia Bastianich! The perfect gifts for me, just in time for the holidays and all the family and guests we will be having!

(I actually want to finish posting so I can get all settled in and start reading my big new cookbook, lol).

Thank you Soooo Very Much....I LOVE everything you sent and the time and effort you spent is not lost on this Redditor. Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year!
