Its been a rough year and I wasn't feeling Christmas. I somehow made it though the holiday and was surprised by a big box from Alaska this morning!

I'm not going to lie. I almost cried when I opened it. I have been participating in these exchanges for years and have never gotten an actual personalized gift. And they were all actually wrapped!!

I love everything - a book from my favorite author, chocolate with espresso beans, warm socks, homemade soap, tea, and obviously the booze. It literally has made my holiday so much brighter and inspired me to keep doing these exchanges. He could have wrapped up literal garbage and I would have been happy, but the thought he put into was awesome.

Thanks, Santa, for restoring my belief in people this year. <3
